SIGHTS, SOUNDS AND SYMBOLS OF ST. PATRICK’S DAY

The color green is everywhere come St. Patrick’s Day, but celebrants may be surprised to learn that blue is the color that was once most affiliated with St. Patrick himself. Numerous paintings depict St. Patrick wearing blue vestments. But green is the color now most instantly associated with Ireland, which is widely referred to as the “Emerald Isle.” Ireland’s lush countryside and rolling green hills attract millions of visitors each year. The color green can be found just about everywhere on St. Patrick’s Day, even if Patrick himself was partial to blue.

We’re Featured and So Are You!

Dear readers, we’re excited to announce that we’re launching a new company name

Why the new name?

Since 1948 the Genesee Valley Penny Saver has been serving communities by bringing readers and local organizations and businesses together. Your faithful readership has allowed us to grow from our Avon, New York roots to becoming a trusted resource for residents in the greater Western New York and Finger Lakes region. Over the years people have come to know us simply as “ e Penny Saver.”

is has been a blessing, but we’ve also outgrown this name in many respects. Our customers are consistently surprised that besides print advertising, we also o er almost any type of marketing service a local business could need: commercial printing, promotional/branding products, direct mail and we’ve recently added a full-service digital marketing agency along with a vibrant video and photography skillset- all under one roof. We hope with the new name we’ll have the opportunity to share our services more with the local business community, and you too!

What digital services do we provide now?

You name it: website design and hosting, Google SEO/ SEM, Programmatic Display Ads, Social Media marketing and management, email marketing, and OTT/OTC to name a few. Don’t know what those are? No worries, that’s what we’re here for.

What does the new name mean for readers?

Nothing! We’re still owned and operated by the same family that started the company in 1948. Both second and third generation family members work in the organization together along with a sta of just over 100 employees.

While our list of services is growing, we’re committed to the Penny Saver’s success just as much now as we have been at any time over the last 75 years.

What’s in it for me and my business?

We hope you’ll explore all the services we provide to help you grow and tell your story to the community. Our mission has always been to “reach” your customers in a variety of ways and while technology is constantly changing, our commitment to getting your message out is not.

So now what?

Please continue to read our publication and shop locally! Doing business with your neighbors helps keep dollars in the local economy and supports good paying jobs.

MOVING TOWARD A MORE JUST FUTURE BY BETTER UNDERSTANDING THE PAST: HOLLY WATSON BRINGS PASSION TO THE LIVINGSTON COUNTY HISTORIAN’S OFFICE

BY SUZIE WELLS

Enter the Livingston County historian’s o ce in Mt. Morris and chances are you’ll see the friendly face of Holly Watson, County Historian since May 2022 and Deputy Historian for the previous ten years. Watson loves what she does and it shows. When I rst inquired with her about the Livingston County Heritage Tours for the County Business Directory, Watson was quick to assist and o er suggestions to lead me in a solid direction.

e County Historian’s role is anything but dull, she says. ey collect, preserve, and interpret county historical records for the public. Watson says she most loves helping researchers “develop a strong sense of place and move toward a just future by better understanding the past.” ese historical artifacts tell us today about the people, places, and events from Livingston County past, and Watson says the o ce currently maintains records from around the 1770s to the present.

format in the future.”

With Deputy Historian Madeline Friedler, Watson wants to continue to provide excellent customer service and information access to researchers. She plans to “harness new technology to increase the o ce’s reach, impact, and engagement with the public.” More immediately, she and the historian’s o ce have projects in the works to gather information, research, and educate the public about Livingston County, such as “bringing more dignity to those interred at the county poorhouse cemeteries, digitizing obsolete forms of media, and designing several permanent exhibits for county facilities.”

Watson grew up in Avon as a homeschooled farm kid with pet chickens, and says she’s grateful every day for that lifestyle. She says, “It allowed me to freely discover my passions, and I think it contributed to a commitment to lifelong learning and dedication to this area.”

Watson’s sta organizes collections so information is easily found, digitizes items to preserve them and increase access, and assists researchers in-person and virtually. “No request is silly or too big/small” to bring to the historian’s o ce, Watson assures, and she says the community o en comes to them with genealogy questions and local history inquiries of all sorts.

Each research request is di erent, and Watson compares studying history to detective work: “We gather information from many sources and perspectives so that we have as complete a picture of the past as possible. It’s exciting when new information pops up that helps us adjust our understanding!”

Watson loves her new role leading the o ce. She says that while “the learning curve of o ce and employeemanagement has been an interesting and satisfying challenge,” she pushed herself out of her comfort zone with professional development opportunities.

She anticipates that staying on top of changing technology will be “a constant challenge, particularly as more and more information is ‘born digital.’ e historian’s o ce must constantly reassess what information constitutes a historical record and how to preserve the information in a digital-only

Watson cannot imagine living and working anywhere but in the Genesee Valley. When she was young, her interest in local history was sparked when she found names carved in her family’s old barn, and she wanted to know more about who lived there before her. She says her passion for local history deepened working at the county historian’s o ce, and she feels “extremely fortunate to have found a rare full-time job in public history.”

Learning about events and people that shaped communities around her makes her appreciate what and who brought us to where we are today. She says, “Livingston County is a wonderful place to live and work, and my job reinforces that every day for me.”

In addition to her job as County Historian, Watson participates in community Trail Town events whenever she can. A hiker, she raves that regional trails connect sites and communities with amazing stories. She said it’s hard to choose, but she particularly likes the Greenway, Finger Lakes Trail, and the Phoebe Snow Trail (aka Groveland Secondary trail).

She also loves gardening (both vegetables and ornamentals) and generally spends as much time outside as possible, caring for plants and enjoying this gorgeous region. When it comes to events around town, she adds if there’s food and drink from new businesses to try, “I’m there!”

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

Pet Sitting Can Be More an a Side Job

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I was recently laid o from my job as a programmer, and have been thinking about taking a new career direction. I’m tired of being stuck in an o ce all day. And I love being around pets. But is it really possible to make a good living working as a dog walker or a pet sitter? -- Barry J., Cambridge, Massachusetts

DEAR BARRY: I know more than a few people who are full-time pet sitters and dog walkers. Most have their own business, while a few are employees of pet care companies. As you can imagine, the pay rates vary widely from person to person. ZipRecruiter reports that the average hourly wage, nationally, for pet sitters is about $19.23.

I think it’s great that you’re considering a career change. But I recommend testing out the world of pet sitting rst. Consider working part time for a pet-sitting company. Even better, if you know someone who does dog walking, ask to accompany them for one day to see what their job entails. Find out what the pitfalls of this business may be, and what makes it fun to do. Finally, o er to pet sit for a friend who’s going out of town for a day or two to get direct experience and really see if it’s something that you’d like to do full time.

PET OBESITY IS A GROWING PROBLEM

ThePurinaPetCareCenterfound that overweight pets may live two years less than ideal weight pets. Reduced life span is not the only problem, as carrying extra pounds can contribute to various maladies. These include osteoarthritis and poor joint health, type 2 diabetes, ligament injuries, heart and respiratory disease, kidney disease, and cancer.

My name is Kaley. I will be 3 years old next month. After I came home, from a breeder in Florida, my mom & dad found out from Cornell that I was born with 3 abnormally large bones at the base of my spine. I will be on pain medication for the rest of my life. But, I give my mom and dad all the love in the world.

Next, visit the Small Business Administration’s website (www. sba.gov) and check out its Learning Center section, which has several micro-courses that teach how to start up and run a small business. Being able to combine core business skills with a love for and dedication to pets is a great platform to start on. Best of luck.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

* Among the many reuses for plastic newspaper bags: Put soiled diapers in before putting in a trash can. Use to pick up after your pet on a walk. Fill with grocery store plastic bags for storage. Keep a few to store wet swimsuits in after a trip to the beach or pool.

* Before removing a splinter, ice the area. Less fussing and a wooden splinter might absorb some liquid, causing it to swell enough to pop out a bit more.

* Recycling paper is good, but reusing before recycling is even better. Ask your child’s classroom teacher if he or she has a “both sides” policy for lined papers. Also, copy paper that’s printed on only one side can be quartered for quick scratch paper.

* Trying to spot roof damage but not quite sure you’re up for climbing a ladder? Before you get up on the roof, get out your binoculars. You’d be surprised how much you can see from the ground, and you can do a cursory examination and then decide if anything needs a closer look.

* Cut kitchen sponges into smaller pieces. They clean as well as a larger sponge, and you can dispose of the smaller pieces when they get yucky. -- O.C. in Michigan

* Need sliced mushrooms for your salad or recipe? They are hard to cut, but you might have a perfect tool for doing the job already in your kitchen. If you have an egg slicer, get it out. It works very well for mushrooms, and it’s easier to use than trying to cut those slices yourself. -- J.R. in Utah

HOW TO MAKE

FATHER’S DAY MORE ENJOYABLE FOR DAD

SPORTS SUNDAY: If Dad is a sports fan, his idea of spending a fun-filled afternoon very well may be cheering on his favorite players. Whether your father enjoys golf, tennis, baseball, soccer, or another sport like hunting or fishing, chances are there is a television broadcast on that you can watch together. Otherwise, you can surprise Dad by purchasing tickets to a sporting event and making a day of it at the ballpark.

Recreational Tianeptine Has Potential for Abuse

DEAR DR. ROACH: I’ve been hearing about tianeptine being sold at gas stations. Is it really dangerous? -- S.F.

Accepting

Lakeville

3513 Thomas Dr., Suite 2

Henrietta

20 Finn Road, Suite C

585.286.3664

SouthsideHearingCenter.com

ANSWER: Like so many substances, tianeptine can be a useful drug when prescribed and taken correctly (it’s used in several countries for depression), but it is indeed dangerous when used recreationally. Its use has been banned in several (unfortunately not all) states across the U.S. It is sold (yes, especially at gas stations) as a dietary supplement. Because it acts on the same receptor as morphine, when used at high doses far beyond the medically approved dose, it has potential for abuse and even overdose, with a handful of deaths ascribed to its use.

I recommend in the strongest possible terms against its recreational use and hope it is completely banned soon.

***

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have severe pain in my right shoulder. I have seen two orthopedists and received X-rays, MRI scans and a cortisone injection, which didn’t work. Both surgeons recommended a shoulder replacement. I am taking three adult aspirins each morning (I am allergic to NSAIDs), which makes the pain go away. Is this safe? I am 83 and otherwise healthy. -- J.B.

ASSISTIVE DEVICES HELP PEOPLE REMAIN MOBILE

Disabilities affect people from all walks of life. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that around 55 million Americans have a disability of some kind. Of these people, 33 million have a disability that makes it difficult for them to carry out some daily activities. Statistics Canada states that, as of 2012, 13.7 percent of the population age 15 years or older reported having a disability that could impact daily life. People with disabilities may need assistive devices to reclaim some measure of their independence. For example, millions of people rely on wheelchairs or walking aids to get around. These are called assistive technology and rehabilitative devices, which include tools, equipment or products that can help people with disabilities get around more easily. These devices may be as small as magnifying glasses for reading to as large as wheelchairs.

The National Institutes of Health state that 2.2 million people in the U.S depend on wheelchairs for day-to-day tasks and mobility. More than six million use canes, walkers or crutches to assist with mobility. Assistive devices can be highly effective, but only when they are used properly and safely. Assistive devices should be measured for each user. Many walkers are height-adjustable. The width of a device also is important. A walker or another device that is too wide can affect mobility or require modifications to be made around the home. Weight is another consideration. The device should be lightweight so it can be maneuvered, but also weigh enough to provide enough stability to keep users upright. Users should proceed slowly and favor their stronger sides when relying on canes or walkers. Devices should not be used to climb atop other items like step stools. Children should not be allowed to play with or ride on assistive devices. If there are safety belts or locks on any assistive technology, they should be put in place before use to prevent further injury.

ANSWER: Aspirin is a type of non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug and has the toxicities common to all the drugs in that group, including an increased risk for bleeding and potential damage to the stomach and kidneys. But it has additional toxicities beyond NSAIDs like ibuprofen, especially at higher levels. I am very cautious about prescribing aspirin and generally prefer other anti-inflammatory medicines. However, people have long taken aspirin -- sometimes at much higher doses -- usually without problems. The fact that you are taking it only once a day reduces the toxicity, but I have to say I am surprised the benefit is lasting all day. The risk of toxicity is higher at older ages. At 83, you are at a significantly higher risk (seven times the risk) than younger people. Most of the data on exactly what your risk is comes from people taking low-dose aspirin (81 mg, not the 975 mg you are taking), so I can’t give you an evidence-based answer. But, for men in their 80s taking low-dose aspirin, about 1.5% will have a serious bleeding event per year. Your risk will be significantly higher due to the much-larger dose you are taking. However, one has to consider both the benefits of the aspirin treatment (the pain being gone is the best possible outcome) and the toxicity of other possible treatments, such as surgery (which is very significant).

There are many classes of NSAIDs, with very different chemical properties, and it is likely there is another type of NSAID you could safely take, with a lower risk than the dose of aspirin you are currently on. On the other hand, you can’t get any better effectiveness, at least in terms of pain, and the absolute risk is still fairly small, so I’m not sure I recommend you change. I am always very cautious about recommending surgery to someone in their 80s when there is an effective medication available to treat the issue.

GLUTEN-FREE IS MORE THAN A TREND

When someone with celiac disease eats gluten the body mounts an immune system response that attacks the villi, which are small fingerlike projections that line the small intestine. The villi, when damaged, cannot properly absorb nutrients from food. Untreated celiac disease also may lead to the development of other autoimmune disorders like type 1 diabetes and multiplesclerosis.

The intestinal damage from eating gluten often causes diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss, bloating, and anemia, and can lead to serious complications. Following a strict gluten-free diet can help manage symptoms and promote intestinalhealing.

More companies are producing glutenfree foods and stores are carrying them in greater numbers. In addition, there are a number of new baking flours available that provide alternatives to traditional wheat-based formulas. People with celiac disease or gluten intolerances can use these specially designed flours to make homemade items. Certain flours also may be billed as one-to-one alternatives, meaning they can be substituted for traditional flour in recipes without adjusting the measurements.

Ways to Become More Active Every Day

In addition to working toward at least 150 minutes of physical activity each week, it’s important to avoid being sedentary, when possible. You can do that by making choices that build activity in your day. Some examples include:

• Taking the stairs

• Printing to the printer farthest away from your desk at work

• Getting off the bus or subway one stop early

• Parking in the farthest space from the door

• Walking around while you are on the phone or having walking meetings

SIGHTS, SOUNDS AND SYMBOLS OF ST. PATRICK’S DAY

Many establishments display the familiar Irish tricolour flag on St. Patrick’s Day, and paradegoers may even wave miniature versions of this significant symbol in support of those marching. This instantly recognizable flag has a rich history. Equal parts green, white and orange, the flag was designed to foster peace in the country that had experienced considerable turmoil due to the divide between the country’s Protestant and Catholic residents. The green in the flag represents the Irish Catholics, while the orange represents the Irish Protestants. The white is a symbol of hope for peace between the two factions. Though Ireland established the tricolour as its national flag in 1921, it first appeared much earlier when Irish national Thomas Francis Meagher unfurled it in 1848.

RAVES

Kindness!

While leaving my SUV to enter Tops in Avon on March 3rd, a young man was coming out with a large bouquet of flowers. I said, “Oh, flowers for me? You shouldn’t have.” We both laughed and went on our ways. When I came out, my daughter (who had waited in the car) had a bouquet of flowers on her lap. She said the man came over, said he was a Christian, and God wanted him to give the flowers to me and he would go back in and get more for his wife. My daughter said thank you and my mom will cry, which I did. What he did not know was that our family had a very difficult week. I will think of his kindness each time I look at these flowers and when the time is right will do the same for someone else. They say bad people are taking over our world, but I continue to believe that the good ones are all over; we just don’t hear as much about them. Many thanks to this kind man.

HONESTY & KINDNESS OF LIVING IN SMALL TOWN!

I can't express my gratitude and thanks enough to the volunteers and the two Amish women who spent 2 hours in the freezing cold February 25th helping me look for the money i dropped in the parking lot of the Church Thrift shop in Livonia. Your assistance and kindness will not be forgotten. It meant more than you will ever know.

A HUGE THANK YOU

To the individual(s) who paid for our dinner on January 19th at the Finger Lakes Public House. Our family had just come from my niece’s mother’s funeral. We just want you to know, from the bottom of our hearts, that your thoughtfulness did not go unnoticed. We want to say a huge thank you, and to let everyone know that there are still wonderful and caring individuals out there.

TECHNICALLY HANDICAPPED

My rant is to open the eyes of the masses to the technically handicapped. I am one of them. At 68 years of age I fall in the gap of no major training of computers, smart phones, etc. I am also on a fixed income and can’t afford all the gadgets nor the price of the Internet. When I need help for things that have to be done online. I have to hire someone to do so. Every shop, restaurant, government, and medical office has some form, deal or discount that is only online. Having no cell phone, computer to access these deals, or forms, etc. Life for myself with technology is extremely frustrating! I only ask that businesses and the government, etc. stop discriminating against my handicap as they do for the physically handicapped, waiting just a while longer until demanding things be only assessed online until every generation is technically taught at a young age. Yes, I have taken classes available at libraries. I also do not want a government issued phone. Do others agree?

LIFE'S SHORT - WHY WASTE IT CRITICIZING OTHERS?

Life is short. Why do people aleays have to criticize each other for choices they make? We each only have one life to live. Just because someone does things differently than you would doesn't mean you should chastise them for it!

ICE AND SNOW, TAKE IT SLOW

When we get a snowstorm in Western NY, why do people all of a sudden become race car drivers who cut each other off and make people slam on their brakes, maneuvering precariously in the icy snow?! Ice and snow, take it slow.

Does Your Family Have a Fire Escape Plan? (Family Features) When a home fire occurs, you have very little time to get out. A working smoke alarm doubles your chances of survival, yet more than twenty percent of American homes are without them. Energizer and the International Association of Fire Chiefs teamed up to address this problem by providing vital fire safety information to families. Make a Plan Installing smoke alarms on every level of the home and developing a plan of escape can give your family precious minutes to get out and get to safety. Draw a floor plan of your home and sketch exit routes out of every room. Make sure you have a fire escape ladder long enough to reach the ground from upstairs rooms. Assign an outside meeting place, so you can quickly locate each other

HOME HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING

CONTROL CRABGRASS BEFORE IT APPEARS

Apply a pre-emergent herbicide. Pre-emergent herbicides kill crabgrass seedlings as they germinate. While these herbicides are highly effective, they must be applied at precisely the right time. The right time to apply them depends on weather patterns. For example, Lowes notes that homeowners who live in regions that might have experienced warmer than usual winters will probably need to apply the herbicides earlier than usual. While the manufacturer instructions should always be followed when applying herbicides, it’s essential that homeowners take weather patterns into consideration as well.

FRESHEN UP YOUR HOME FOR THE SPRING SEASON

Give rugs and floors a deep cleaning. Recirculated air may be full of dust and other microscopic particles that end up blowing throughout your home. Also, it’s easy to track in dirt and other materials on your shoes that become imbedded in carpeting. At least once a year, rent or enlist the surfaces of carpet and upholstery cleaners to give floors a thorough cleaning. You may be surprised at how clean and fresh a home looks and smells once rugs and carpets are deep-cleaned. You also can make a dry carpet cleaner using baking soda, corn starch and desired fresh herbs for fragrance. Sprinkle and then vacuum up after a few hours.

Children tend to accumulate toys and games. And as kids grow from children to young adults, their list of must-have itemsfrom video gaming systems to other electronics - grows along with them. Storage can make a room functional for both adults and children. Devote an entire wall to a closet or drawer system where toys can be stored out of sight when necessary. Storage ottomans can be used for extra seating while also providing somewhere for homeowners to stash stuffed animals or games for easy access. When choosing furniture, look for fabrics that are resistant to stains and modular pieces that can be moved around as necessary to create room for playingorentertaining.

SENIOR NEWS

Funeral Planning: Don’t Be Rushed

One life event we don’t want to think about having to do for a loved one is planning a funeral. But sometimes we must, and it can be stressful and loaded with the potential to be scammed in some way.

A small amount of help is coming. e Federal Trade Commission wants online funeral pricing. And it makes sense. When you need to organize a funeral, emotions are running high. You won’t be at your best when it comes to thinking about pricing and services.

Back in 1984, the FTC created the Funeral Rule, but it only requires funeral homes to show lists of the prices of caskets and any outer burial containers, such as a grave liner. And it was only required that a potential customer be given those prices in person, certainly not by phone. To make it worse, funeral homes only had to show pictures or the item itself a er the prices were disclosed.

By then, of course, you were at the funeral home, unhappy and sad and stressed. e last thing you wanted to do is treat it like a car purchase and shop around. So you signed the paperwork on the spot, possibly paid too much and maybe didn’t get the items and services you wanted.

ere are a few ways to ensure that your vulnerability at that time isn’t exploited.

Before you leave the house to organize a funeral, go online to check local funeral home websites. ey might be among the very few to actually post pricing and services.

Take someone with you.

Get the price list (in writing) of what the funeral home o ers.

Before you sign any paperwork, contact the Funeral Consumers Alliance (funerals.org) and get their advice. ere’s a group in every state. On their website, click on “Consumers” and scroll down to “Don’t Know Where To Begin? Start Here.”

Remember: Take your time.

SIGHTS, SOUNDS AND SYMBOLS OF ST. PATRICK’S DAY

St. Patrick’s Day celebrants who are not of Irish descent and/or those who have never visited Ireland may not know it, but the live music they may hear when entering a pub on St. Patrick’s Day is an integral part of the fabric of Irish culture. An Irish Seisiún typically finds a group of musicians gathered in a pub to play traditional Irish music, oftentimes while seated at a table among their audience. While many pubs reserve stage areas for their musicians on St. Patrick’s Day, the spirit of seisiún is still present, as musicians often interact with the audience.

Jane Conrad Towner

March 3, 2023

Jane ConradTowner passed away unexpectedly on March 3, 2023 at Nicholas H. Noyes Memorial Hospital with her husband and children by her side. She was ten days shy of celebrating her 76th birthday.

Jane was born in Bath, NY on March 13, 1947. She is predeceased by her parents, Stuart and Mildred (Bolster) Conrad Strobel, step-dad, Lawrence (Stan) Strobel and infant brother, Gary Stuart Conrad. Jane is survived by her loving husband, Ronald of 57 years; her children, Rick (Christine) Towner of Arkport, Ronda (Steven) Sick of Cohocton, Ryan (Meredith) Towner of Cohocton; and grandchildren, Brianna, Bradley, Dylan, and Samantha. Jane is also survived by her brother, Jim (Louise) Conrad of Mead, CO; nieces, Jessica (Jason) LaMere of Lafayette, CO, Jennifer (John) Philipson of Arvada, CO; and a great-niece and great-nephew.

ere are many things Jane was passionate about. She loved history, especially local history. She loved animals, nature, gardening, and crafting of all sorts. Most of all, she loved her family.

A lifelong resident of Cohocton, Jane was an active member of the Cohocton Historical Society for many years. She was instrumental in the renovation of the Larrowe House as well as being the driving force behind the creation of the accompanying Victorian garden. Jane loved animals.She never had a pet that was not a rescue of some sort. Whether she sought them out (like her beloved Princess) from her favorite Pekingese rescue organization or whether they found their way to her, she gave them all a loving and safe forever home. Riding through the woods with Ronnie (and of course Princess) on the side-by-side was one of Jane’s favorite pastimes. e peaceful beauty of the wooded hills with her lifelong love by her side was a constant source of joy. She enjoyed taking pictures of these beautiful moments and sharing them with family and friends.

Jane had a hand for all things crafty and was a talented artist. She would create amazing wreaths and wall hangings out of scraps that any other person would have thrown away. Painting, ceramics, sewing, you name it...she loved it all. She took that creative air and turned it into a thriving business, operating out of the Davis House in Cohocton for many years.

Most of all, Jane loved her family. Spending time with her husband, children, and grandchildren was by far her greatest joy, whether it be trips to the casino with Ronda or to the Christmas Story house with Rick. From large family gatherings to spending an hour in the morning chatting with Ryan, all were moments she held dear to her heart and she will be sorely missed.

Per Jane’s request, services will be held for immediate family only. In lieu of owers, donations can be made to the Zion Lutheran Cemetery, c/o Mary Lindsey, 63137 State Rte. 415, Cohocton, NY 14826 and Mapleview Cemetery, c/o John Sick, 10950 Cty. Rd. 92, Wayland, NY 14572, or the Barn Cat Outreach Inc. (barncatoutreach@gmail.com), moving to a permanent location Cohocton.

Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the Walter E. Baird & Sons Funeral Home in Wayland.

WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A TEAM PLAYER

The ability to communicate, interact and work collectively with others is both a professional and personal asset. But in certain ways, the reliance on technology has made working as a team more complicated. People have grown accustomed to spending large quantities of time alone working at computers or on phones and tablets, potentially compromising their ability to work directly with others when the need arises.

According to Monster.com, when it comes to choosing a candidate for a new job or promotion, employers consistently say they want a team player. That means it’s advantageous for professionals looking to further their careers to brush up on their team-building and social skills.

DID YOU KNOW?

According to Gallup’s 2021 Economy and Personal Finance survey,the average individual in the United States is retiring earlier than many people might expect. Gallup found that the average retirement age was 62, which is two years earlier than the working respondents indicated they planned to retire. Canadians are retiring a little bit later than their American counterparts, as Statistics Canada reports the average retirement age in Canada is just over 63 and a half. The average retirement age is worth noting, as studies routinely find that many working professionals greatest concern about retiring is that they won’t have enough money saved to meet their needs. By recognizing that they may end up retiring earlier than they initially planned, professionals can make a concerted effort to save more money in the years ahead.

AVOID FINANCIAL PERIL AFTER A JOB LOSS

Losing a job can be devastating. Even in a strong market, companies can go out of business or reduce payroll. Being let go can initially tug at one’s pride, and after a layoff sets in, it may cause individuals to start worrying for their financial futures.While many people can survive and may even enjoy a few weeks of rest and relaxation after a job loss, financial concerns may surface soon thereafter. A 2017 GOBankingRates survey found that more than half of American adults have less than $1,000 in their savings accounts. Financial planners typically advise people to have at least three month’s worth of earnings socked away for emergency situations, like a medical issue or a job loss. Even though the survey also found more than a quarter (27 percent) of respondents have $10,000 or more saved, that might not be enough to survive a job loss for six months or more.

A job loss can come as a shock. However, with level-headedness and smart planning, many people can avoid dire financial situations in the wake of a layoff.

WORKING PARENTS CAN CREATE BETTER WORK-LIFE BALANCE

Many working parents struggle to maintain a healthy balance between their responsibilities at work and their obligations to their families. An inability to maintain that healthy balance can have adverse effects on men and women’s careers as well as the relationships they have with their families.

A 2015 survey of more than 2,000 adults commissioned by the workplace solution provider Workfront found that 38 percent of survey participants have missed life events because of a bad work-life balance. Access to technology that means work is never too far away might contribute to poor work-life balance, as 57 percent of respondents also acknowledged feeling that technology has ruined the definition of a family dinner.

Finding a healthy balance between work and life at home may require a concerted effort on the part of working parents, but there are ways to successfully juggle a career and family.

SHOW ADMINISTRATIVE PROFESSIONALS THEY ARE APPRECIATED

Business owners and bosses and high-level executives may have their names on placards or monogrammed stationery, but the most successful businesses tend to be those in which the entire staff, from the company president to administrative professionals and so on, works together. Administrative professionals, sometimes referred to as “admins,” handle everything from spreadsheet generation to PowerPoint presentations to preparing schedules. Admins are often the unsung heroes of the workplace, and while they may not receive much fanfare, without the continued efforts of admins, businesses may grind to a halt.

In recognition of the roles they play, administrative professionals have been honored during a special week each April for the past 60 years. Called Secretary’s Day upon its inception in 1952, the holiday was later expanded and the name changed to incorporate all of the employees who play pivotal administrative rolls in companies big and small.

Administrative professionals do a lot to keep companies afloat and operating smoothly. Supervisors, managers and other higher-ups can take every opportunity to show their appreciation to these hard, yet often unsung, workers.
