Sunlight and heat may dry out the blooms. Prolong the life of flowers by placing them in the darkest, coolest area of the home.

PREPARE FOR ETERNITY

Amos 4:12 says “Prepare to meet thy God!” Yes, we’ll all die, early or late. It’s imperative we prepare for the trip. You’re going someplace. Better to find out about it by Christian friends and loved ones now while you can.God’s Holy Bible warns us of our life past,present and future. He did that because He loves you. I suggest you take this seriously. Only one life for you to do the right thing. The clock is still moving forward. Jesus Christ made the way clear for you to enter heaven freely.You can escape the judgement awaiting unrepentant sinners that try to go their own way. Jesus said “I (and only I) am the WAY, the truth and the life, NO MAN cometh to the Father (God), but by ME.”

Nutritional benefits of dairy: Dairy products are nutrient-dense and great sources of protein, calcium and vitamins. Protein builds and repairs muscle tissue; carbohydrates in milk provide energy; and calcium and phosphorous can help strengthen bones and teeth. Vitamin D helps promote the absorption of calcium. Dairy also contains riboflavin, vitamin A, pantothenic acid, potassium and niacin. One eight-ounce serving of milk contains the recommended daily values of these nutrients based on guidelines from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.

HOW ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGIES

The NDC reports that cochlear implants are not necessarily ideal for everyone with significant hearing loss. That’s because no two brains are the same, and it’s difficult to predict how well a given person’s brain will interpret the new auditory signals the implant is sending. In addition, the NDC notes that certain types of hearing loss cannot be remedied with cochlear implants.

CARE FOR TOOLS

Homeowners often choose to save money and learn valuable skills by doing their own home improvement projects. These minor or major renovations are made much more successful by having the right tools for the job. Investing in good tools can be smart, but those tools are only effective if they are accessible and in good repair. Homeowners who emphasize taking care of their tools can make DIY projects that much easier and more rewarding.

GROWING

Smaller homes: Home sizes in the United States steadily increased for decades, eventually leading to an average of 2,453 square feet in 2014, according to U.S. Census figures. However, Realtor.com reported in 2015 that new construction homes have already begun to shrink by 40 square feet. There seems to be a slight trend toward more modest homes as people consider affordability and maintenance on larger properties. The National Association of Home Builders states buyers are now looking for smaller, more livable homes with flexible floor plans, energy-efficient appliances and plenty of storage space.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Chalazions Continue to Develop in Both Eyelids

DEAR DR. ROACH: Are oral antibiotics ever prescribed to treat chalazions, in addition to eye drops and ointment? I have had two this year for seemingly no reason. They were treated with tobramycin eye drops, ointment and warm compresses. The first one didn’t resolve with those meds and was excised surgically. That eyelid then became infected without a chalazion and was treated with a second round of antibiotic drops. It remains a bit puffy and pinkish in color, which I chalked up to the new normal appearance. Now, a chalazion has developed in the other eyelid. I don’t wear eye makeup and use an eyelid cleanser recommended by my ophthalmologist. I am an otherwise healthy 76-year-old woman. Could there be a systemic bacterial or viral infection causing chalazions to keep developing? -- M.W.

ANSWER: The terms for different types of eyelid lesions can be a bit confusing. Most people are familiar with a stye, which is a localized inflammation of the upper or lower eyelid, most commonly caused by an infection of one of the glands of the external eye, usually by the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. A stye is also called a hordeolum. An external hordeolum is in the eyelash follicle or the lid margin, whereas an internal hordeolum is inflammation in the meibomian glands, the ones that secrete mucous to help keep the eyes lubricated.

Makeup can block these glands and predispose someone to hordeola. Hordeola are treated with warm compresses and sometimes by an eye specialist, with a combination of antibiotic drops and topical steroids. Drainage by an ophthalmologist is necessary if it doesn’t get better within one to two weeks. If the infection gets into the skin around the eye, it may need oral antibiotics. A chalazion is not an infection. It’s a usually painless rubbery mass in the eyelid. A chalazion can be a complication of a hordeolum, since the glands are blocked by inflammation, leading to thickened secretions from the gland. Since it’s not an infection, neither oral nor topical eye antibiotics are useful. These also usually get better with warm compresses over weeks to months. People with recurrent chalazia should be considered for biopsy, since they can turn out to be tumors in rare circumstances.

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

Cats Can Hide Illness

Symptoms, So Be Aware

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My cat Sisko became very una ectionate a few days ago. He hid under the bed or crouched in the corner of the living room and refused to cuddle. en I noticed when he sat in the litter box that he meowed as if he was in distress. I called the veterinarian, and they had me bring him right in. Turns out that Sisko had a urinary tract infection! He’s doing ne now, but I wanted to tell my story so that other readers will know that a sudden behavior change in their cat could be a medical problem. -- Kurt W., Parsippany,

New Jersey

DEAR KURT: ank you for sharing! You did absolutely the right thing: You noticed a sudden change in your cat’s behavior, kept a closer eye on his activities and litter habits, and contacted the vet’s o ce to share your observations and get advice.

Cats are very secretive about their health. It’s an instinctive behavior that helped their ancestors hide from predators. So it is common for owners not to notice when their cat is experiencing pain, such as a sore tooth or an illness like a urinary tract infection.

While the occasional hairball episode isn’t a cause for concern, there are some symptoms that should prompt a call to the vet for an appointment.

-- Your cat acts withdrawn, sits hunched over, refuses to play or be petted.

-- Eating or drinking habits change.

-- Litter box behavior changes: meowing, missing the box or noticeable diarrhea.

-- Grooming problems develop, or they have clumpy fur or irritated skin.

-- Physical symptoms: eye or ear discharge, strange breathing, unusual vomiting, lethargy or drooling.

SENIOR NEWS

By Matilda Charles Covid

... It’s Still Here

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the number of Covid cases has steadily risen since December. Earlier in the fall, Covid took a short break while the u and RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) made it to center stage. ose illnesses are now waning a bit, and here comes Covid again.

It doesn’t help that we have a new variant -- an o shoot of Omicron, the XBB.1.5 -- taking o around the country. By Christmas nearly half the cases of Covid were that new variant, so it’s growing.

Seniors, as usual, are being hit hard with those in the age 70+ range being the largest group a ected, followed by ages 60-69.

If you’re hesitant to go back to being extremely careful, we’re experiencing what some doctors are calling the Senior Wave. It means the numbers on a graph show that the largest group a ected with hospitalizations are seniors.

Which means it’s still not time to let down our guard. If anything, it means renewing our e orts to stay safe. Frequent handwashing, wearing a mask in the store, even if you’re the only one who is, staying out of large groups ... we know how to do this.

And like it or not, we should. e growing number of seniors being hospitalized or dying due to Covid should shake up all of us.

Another, and possibly even more accurate, statistic for the spread of Covid is the wastewater. is is where municipalities test the sewage for Covid. People can hide their exposure and illness by using the at-home tests we all received in the mail, thereby skewing the “o cial” numbers, but the sewage in an area is sure to be more accurate.

To see the wastewater data by county, go online to CDC.gov and search for “National Wastewater Surveillance System” (NWSS).

FACTS ABOUT FEBRUARY

Despite being the shortest month of the calendar year, February has an interesting history. Early calendars marked the start of the new year in March, but when the second king of Rome, Numa Pompilius, rose to the throne in 713 BC, he synchronized the calendar to the lunar year. That required the addition of January and February.

LOCAL FAMILY RAISES FUNDS FOR MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS

BY JODY LYNN GREER

Joseph Michael Eddinger was extremely outgoing and funloving. A natural born athlete, he started playing hockey at the age of ve. In high school, he played hockey with the Canandaigua Knights as well as hockey and lacrosse for the Canandaigua Braves. Passion for all things athletic seamlessly translated from hockey to lacrosse, taking him down a bright path at the University of Albany, where he excelled on the UAlbany Great Danes Lacrosse team. Sports opened a world that spoke to Joseph.

Joseph was not only a multi-sport athlete and enthusiast but also a cherished family member. Lovingly known as “Uncle So y,” Joseph had a special place in his heart for his niece and o en volunteered to watch her on weekends, a task few uncles volunteer for, but which Joseph was happy to take on.

“He wasn’t only my son; he was my best friend,” says Tim Eddinger, Joseph’s father. In July 2020, Joseph Michael Eddinger lost his young life to suicide.

Suicide plagues our local communities and a icts people nationwide. According to recent data from CDC.gov, suicide has a ected 54% of Americans in some way, and 90% of Americans who have lost their lives due to suicide had a diagnosable mental condition at the time of their death.

e Suicide Prevention Coalition of Ontario County in Victor, NY, in association with the Ontario County Partnership, hopes to address misconceptions about mental health and open lines of local communication.

Executive Director Tracey Dello Stritto says, “We have really worked hard to address needs in communities that don’t have access to mental support.” e Coalition maintains o ces in Canandaigua, Geneva, and Naples, o ering free therapy and other services. Stritto says, “[We] are trying to strategically look at the county, the community and the need, and address that. We really want to reduce the barrier of cost and reduce the barrier of transportation. Solution-focused free therapy is what we o er through this program. Our licensed counselors work with [individuals] to identify tools for patients to have in their ‘toolbox’. ”

e community support center also o ers activities that address physical and mental health, Stritto says as the need to connect is vital as human beings, Stritto says. e Ontario County Partnership creates unique traditional and nontraditional therapy opportunities for individuals and families. Ever-expanding, they continually look for new ways to reach those who need them most, and the Partnership feels collaboration on a local level is crucial.

Stritto emphasizes the combination of formal therapy with opportunities for community togetherness. For example, they coordinate with a local art gallery for an activity where the focus is simply coming to be together. e Partnership also formed a post-pandemic group focusing on encouraging people to come socialize. e Partnership also focuses on opportunities for youth to connect, such as the “Letters and Lattes” program that helps young people explore their creativity through youth-selected art projects.

e inaugural Joseph “Edge” Eddinger memorial golf tournament kicked o last year at Ravenwood Golf Course in Victor, NY. e tournament received overwhelming response from the community and over y sponsors, a turnout tting for Joseph, for whom “community and family meant everything” his father says. Last year’s event raised $20,000 in proceeds, which Tim and Jessica Eddinger gi ed to the Suicide Prevention Coalition of Ontario in association with the Ontario County Partnership.

Support begins at the grassroots level, and the Eddingers recognize that community engagement makes an enormous impact for those struggling with depression and anxiety, or for those who simply need someone to listen. ough nothing can replace the loss of a loved one, the Eddinger family, with organizations such as the Suicide Prevention Coalition of Ontario County, hope to increase mental health awareness. “If we could just save one life it will be worth it,” Tim Eddinger says.

is year’s Joseph “Edge” Eddinger Tournament will take place at Blue Heron Hills Golf Course in Macedon, NY Friday, August 18, 2023.

To get involved in this event, visit edgegol ourny.com. Tournament details are currently being updated.

DAIRY DIETARY GUIDELINES

Low-fat or fat-free dairy options are recommended. Low-fat or fat-free products can quell common concerns about dairy products,including that they’re high in fat,calories and sodium.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

* Toothpaste works well as a silver polish. Wet your silver, plop a little non-gel toothpaste on it and rub gently to clean. Rinse well and let it shine.

* A great hint from Mary R. of Duluth, Georgia: If the kids are drawing with felt markers and their hands get covered with ink, don’t worry. Just spray their hands down with hairspray, then wipe off the ink with a paper towel. Don’t forget to wash their hands afterward!

* Dip your toothbrush in baking soda before you add toothpaste when brushing your teeth. You get used to the taste, but the extra scrub really gets your teeth clean, and it’s very inexpensive to use. -- R.E. in Arizona

* Have clumped-up sugar in the canister? No worries. To keep sugar from hardening, add a slice of bread to the container from time to time, and leave it there a day before removing.

* Use this quick fix for oily hair. Rub a small amount of cornstarch into the oily areas of your hair. The cornstarch will soak up the dirt and oil; you just brush it out.

* A reader from Michigan wonders: How can I keep from having static head, especially when using a hat? The answer: You probably already have a tube of lip balm in your pocket or purse. Rub some on your palms, then run your palms over your hair.

Parking area negligence

It is deplorable how many public buildings do not take care of handicap parking spots. Last year I had to quit physical therapy because you could not safely get from the car to the building. Their response “the landlord is responsible for clearing the parking lot and sidewalks.” I quit. Ff they were concerned for anyones well-being, they would address it………or was that job security for them? The handicap spots at the local senior center are never clear. They should be bone dry. I realize they cannot plow or salt when there are cars in the spots, but they should instruct their drivers to clear and salt before the center opens or after it closes. It is just common sense.

Thank you Guardian Angel!

Thank you to the gentleman who was in Geneseo Noyes Urgent Care on Saturday, January 14th. I had arrived for an X-ray but there was no order on file from the doctor. The receptionist suggested I go through urgent care who would then write a script. I was worried about the cost of taking that approach. The gentleman was sitting in the waiting room and spoke up that he would pay for my urgent care visit. I was amazed someone would be willing to do that. In the meantime, they were able to get ahold of my doctor and get the script. Regardless, I won’t forget the kindness a stranger was willing to give to me.

Purple Pony

I would just like to say thank you to The Genesee Valley Penny Saver for printing the wonderful article on Purple Pony. I had no idea they even existed. Horses are truly amazing, and to help with special needs of all ages tells a lot about these magnificent animals. Thank you, Purple Pony!

Response to "garbage plate modification"

I suppose it's none of my business how one modifies a garbage plate. While the modification of adding fish sticks to a plate with hot dogs and all the fixings is nothing short of, in my personal opinion, disgusting, I am more disturbed that someone is eating this every single day. Perhaps slowly adding in other lunches like salads and low-fat sandwiches would be beneficial to this person. As a medical professional, I see far too many people with garbage plate-related maladies in the greater Rochester area.

What would we be without our friends? Can you imagine life without a shoulder to cry on as you reel from a bad breakup? Or a companion to hog all the junk food with as you watch the scariest movies while hiding under covers. Friends are the family we choose, and it’s time we pay this underrated relationship admiration and honor with a monthlong celebration.

How to celebrate friendship month? Have a friendship movie marathon! It’s time to turn on your favorite movies and enjoy the nal stretch of hot cocoa and weighted blankets with your besties. As you start this beautiful month of February and celebrate the spirit of friendship, end your nights with your favorite movies of the same.

TIPS FOR REALIZING GOALS IN THE YEAR AHEAD

Thedawnofanewyearrepresents a chance to start anew and set goals for the months ahead. New Year’s resolutions are often made to provide the motivation people need to improve their lives and make a new year as productive and happy as possible. While people who make New Year’s resolutions fully intend to realize those goals, few actually stick to the game plan. According to researchers at the University of Scranton, just 8 percent of people who make their New Year’s resolutions actually achieve those resolutions. While that might make it seem like the odds are against men and women who have resolved to improve their lives in the year ahead, adults can realize their goals for the new year and beyond.

MAKE CUT FLOWERS LAST LONGER

Purchase immature blooms

Although many desire an arrangement of all opened flowers, bouquets that have some closed buds or those that are just beginning to peek out will likely last longer than bouquets that have already bloomed. The flowers will continue to open and wilting flowers can be removed to make room for the others.

FACTS ABOUT FEBRUARY

February was named after an end-of-year celebration called “Februa,” also known as “Februalia” or “Februatio.” Februa was a Roman festival of ritual purification and washing - a spring cleaning of sorts. This festival was later incorporated into Lupercalia, another Roman celebration that has ties to Groundhog Day. January was actually added after February and was named after Janus, the Roman god of beginnings and endings.

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.
