HOW TO ENJOY A MORE ECO-FRIENDLY WINTER

Install a programmable thermostat. The United States Department of Energy estimates that consumers can save 10 percent on their heating bills by rolling back their thermostat 10 to 15 percent over an eight-hour period. Program your thermostat to keep the heat low while you’re at work or away from home. The latest digital thermostats are both userfriendly and visually appealing when hung on the wall.

R EAL E STATE S ECTION

ROOMS CAN SERVE DOUBLE DUTY

In 2015, 24 percent of employed people in the United States did some or all of their work at home, says the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Bringing work home means men and women will need a space to work. In tight quarters, bedrooms may be the only available area. An armoirestyle desk will blend in with the decor and can hide paperwork and electronics behind doors. Otherwise, a makeup vanity can serve the dual purpose of providing a place to get ready for a night out and a ready space to house a laptop during the day.

TIPS FOR REALIZING GOALS IN THE YEAR AHEAD

Make your goals public. By publicly declaring your intention to improve your life, you’re putting some positive pressure on yourself to fully commit to your goal. Friends and loved ones can be great sources of support, and once they’re aware of your efforts, you likely won’t want to let them down. Once you have decided on a resolution, post your short-term and long-term goals to your Facebook page or let your immediate family and closest friends know of your goals in person. Their encouragement can help you stay on track, and they may even offer to help you realize your goals.

WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR MOBILE PHONE ETIQUETTE

Obey the rules. Movie theaters, airline cabins, libraries, and various other places have rules in place governing the use of mobile phones. These rules are designed to ensure everyone has a safe, enjoyable experience. Breaking these rules can be a safety risk in certain situations, but is more often merely inconsiderate of those around you. If you must use a mobile phone but you’re in a restricted area, excuse yourself and tend to the matter elsewhere.

I HAVE A DREAM...

Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, which was delivered to a crowd of 250,000 in Washington, D.C., on August 28, 1963, is one of the most memorable moments of Dr. King’s life. In the 17-minute monologue, Dr. King called for an end to racism. Interestingly, the “dream” component of the speech wasn’t in the original draft. Gospel singer Mahalia Jackson reportedly coached Dr. King to tell the listeners “about the dream.”

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

* If your straw broom isn’t working as well as it did when new, try giving it a spruce-up. Beat any dust out of the ends, then trim off any bent straws. Trim a section from a leg of stretched out pantyhose or tights and wrap it around the bristles, about two inches up from the bottom. This keeps the bristles nice and tight, and it will collect dirt better.

* When you replace old brushes -hairbrushes or toothbrushes -- wrap a length of masking tape around the handle. That way you can use them for cleaning purposes, and they will never be mistakenly used for the wrong purpose.

* “When cooking rice, add a little bit of lemon juice to the water. It does not really flavor it, but it will keep it nice and white, plus it seems to be a bit fluffier when I do this.”

-- R.E. in Mississippi

* “When my child was mostly finished potty training, I put her baby potty in the car with some wet wipes and plastic baggies. Seems like she had emergencies when we were driving, and it wasn’t always convenient to find a business with a bathroom in time. But it was easy to pull into a parking lot and let her take care of business.”

-- E.E. in Maine

* Store extra plastic grocery bags in empty tissue boxes. They are easy to store this way, and you can keep them under the sink or in the car for easy access.

* “Keep your garage floor nice by lining the area where you park with carpet remnants. Road salt and other nasty business that your tires pick up will not corrode the floor. You can shake out the rugs outside.”

-- C.Y. in New York

STRANGE BUT TRUE

REFUGE AND RESOURCES PROVIDED AT ALL BABIES CHERISHED

is nonpro t organization is a bright light in the Batavia community. Director Sue Sherman said, “ ere is no judgment or condemnation when you walk into the center. It doesn’t matter what happened in the past, we are here to give you a brighter future.”

What makes ABC unique? It is Christian based. Christ is the center of their operations. You don’t have to be a believer to get help. You are lovingly welcomed and accepted at this center. Many don’t know the meaning of true love. All Babies Cherished serves from the heart. ey are there during hardships. Regardless of current situations, they want everyone to know that God has a plan for your life to prosper you and give you hope.

Let’s start at the very beginning with ABC - All Babies Cherished. It’s a good place to start. ere is hope, love, and safety for all who enter. is pregnancy resource center provides needs for moms, expectant mothers, fathers, and their children. Help is available to parents and children of all ages.

We are all wonderfully made. ere is a purpose for every life. When di cult and unexpected times happen, do not fear. You are not alone. is divine mission has been operating for over 27 years in Batavia, NY. All their funding comes from donations.

All Babies Cherished continues to add value to the community by encouraging parents to live healthy, happy lives. How do they do that?

Parenting classes are provided. e students enjoy these classes and are hungry to learn. When parents attend these classes, they get the items they need for their children. ese items may include clothing, cribs, high chairs, diapers, baby wipes, and car seats. Over 20,000 items a year are given away free of charge.

All Babies Cherished advocates throughout the community for housing, food stamps, and HEAP (Home Energy Assistance Program). Help lling out applications is provided so that parents get needed resources.

Housing assistance is also desperately needed in Batavia for these families. irty- ve percent of the moms and expectant moms that come into the center are homeless, couch hopping with young children in tow, or staying in hotels.

A house was donated to All Babies Cherished. ey are working on getting it ready this year. It will be a temporary shelter for programming, classes, and those needing their GED. is environment will equip these parents to be self-su cient.

Sherman said the moms enjoy learning. Most of them come in feeling unworthy, shameful, guilty, and hopeless. e team at All Babies Cherished edify and empower these families. When they leave, they have what they need, are con dent, and know they are loved. Laughter and fun are included, especially at classes and events. Cooking classes produce tasty dishes.

Thank you for paying for our drinks and donuts! Thank you to the young lady in the white SUV who paid for our order at DD in Batavia! It's funny because my husband and I were talking about paying for the people behind us and so we did! Thanks again, it’s greatly appreciated!

KUDOS, Ms.Savage

I read in a recent education newsletter that Ms. Valerie Savage, from the Wheatland-Chili Central School District, was named 2022 New York State Art Teacher of the Year! What an honor when you consider that this is considered a small school district when compared to all the school districts in the state. As a former educator and resident of Wheatland, I am so proud and happy for her recognition! Keep up the great works!

David Thomas, Churchville

Thank you!

I would like to thank all who helped us at Lima Manor during the wind storm on December 23rd. We were without heat and lights for 24 hours. The Lima Fire Dept. came to take anyone who wanted to go to the warming room at the fire station where breakfast and lunch were served. Some of us stayed in our apartments, and the food was brought to us. Thank you to all the helpers.

Move over

Slower traffic “stay right” doesn’t mean only on Thruways. Every day on divided 4 lane roads you have those who drive in the left lane oblivious to others. Every weekday around 3pm I see the same school bus doing 45 in a 55 zone in the left lane. I’m not exaggerating. Roughly 7 miles between towns. Cars and trucks get congested while trying to get past him. Some beep horns and make hand gestures, yet he refuses to move over. Yes, it does create possible road rage and safety issues. Move over!

Sky High Airline Profits

The airlines do not give refunds on unused tickets, involuntarily downgrade seats with no refunds, received $50 billion of taxpayer $ during Covid, and are now posting record quarter profits. How does the airline industry get away with these tactics? No other companies can refuse to give refunds and receive that much in government aid.

Regarding the Dec. 30th “Inconsiderate Deer Hunters” Rant.

Please don’t group all hunters as being inconsiderate. I do tons of hiking, both on local trails and St. Regis Wildness Area up north. I have seen lots of wrappers, trash, dog and horse “waste”, etc... Should I group all hikers as inconsiderate? Also, some of these trails have signs saying no horses, but there is the manure (evidence). What about ATV riders that are not supposed to be on these trails? Are all of them bad? Wildlife have it tougher than us, they eat wherever they can find their next meal, whatever it is. Overall I agree with you that gut piles/carcasses are unsightly and unpleasant, so is unnatural trash, dog and horse manure left by hikers. Let’s agree not to “group” various users all as guilty as all groups have some bad apples (not that apples are bad).

Goals for 2023

I didn’t rush to create my goals for 2023, but the time has come ...

One year ago I made two goals: to buy weekly food donation cards at the grocery store to give to the food bank and to continue to pick up weekly groceries for three elderly neighbors. I made it three-quarters of the year on both of those.

Food prices just got too high for me to continue to buy a donation card each week. And picking up groceries for the three elderly ladies was no longer necessary once I introduced them to the food bank. Now I have new goals for 2023.

I’m going to continue with “Growing Stronger,” the free 126-page strength-training book for seniors on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website (cdc.gov). I’ve reprinted new, blank pages for the charts, such as Long-Term Personal Goals and How Fit and Strong Are You Now? I’m just about ready to buy a pair of slightly heavier hand weights. If you decide to start the “Growing Stronger” strength program, ask your doctor rst if it’s appropriate for you. And remember: Start slowly, with low weights.

In the tech category, my goal is to successfully set up a personal WiFi hotspot. (A hotspot is letting your phone’s cellular service serve as Wi-Fi.) is desire comes a er a day with no power during a storm. No power meant no computer, but I did have cellphone service. Had I been able to set up a hotspot, I would have been able to access the internet on my tablet. If you decide to try this, be mindful of security.

As a nal goal for the year, I’m going to have a banana each and every day. Whether it’s sliced over cereal or put in a smoothie, I’ll get my ber, magnesium, potassium and vitamins B6 and C ... like it or not.

Immunological Therapy Reasonable for Case of Lymphoma

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am an 86-year-old woman who was recently diagnosed with stage 3A follicular lymphoma. It was discovered on a CAT scan when I went to the ER for diverticulitis. I have no symptoms. The doctor did a biopsy to confirm, and I had a PET scan as well. I feel good otherwise. I am only on blood pressure and cholesterol medications. My oncologist is recommending low-dose chemotherapy. I am conflicted. At my age, what should I do? -- L.H.

ANSWER: There are many types of lymphomas (which are a type of cancer of blood cells), but lymphomas are predominantly in the lymph nodes. Follicular lymphoma is an “indolent” type of lymphoma, meaning it is very slow-growing, but unfortunately often uncurable. People with no symptoms from follicular lymphoma and who are stage 1, 2 or 3A tend to have a long time before they have progression of the disease to the point of having symptoms. Depending on other characteristics, that time ranges from three to seven years. Choosing to hold off on treatment is definitely a reasonable option for a person in your situation. However, your oncologist knows much more about your disease than I do, such as the extent of tumor in the abdomen, the molecular markers of the tumor, and additional blood results. When an oncologist suggests treatment, I would listen carefully. One treatment that your oncologist might be considering is immunological therapy such as rituximab. Unlike traditional chemotherapy, rituximab alone is pretty nontoxic and can delay the progression of the disease. A large study suggested improvement in the quality of life with rituximab. Usually, rituximab is given once a week for four doses, but some oncologists repeat the four doses every two months. If I had a patient in your situation, I would say holding off on treatment would be reasonable given your age and lack of symptoms, but a trial of the rituximab (if that is what the oncologist is contemplating) would also be a reasonable choice. If you had serious side effects to the treatment, I would recommend against further doses.

YOU MAY BE ABLE TO HELP SAVE A CHILD’S LIFE

(NAPSI)—Seven-year-old Julián Morales seems like any other young boy—he loves playing video games, watching baseball, spending time with his little sister and eating chocolate ice cream—but there’s a big difference.

The Problem

Unlike most children, Julián suffers from a rare, life-threatening blood disorder. His only hope for a cure is an unrelated blood stem cell donor. “It’s very difficult because Julián can’t do everything like other children his age,” said Mayra Garcia, Julián’s mother. “We want to see our son healed. But that may not happen if we cannot find a blood stem cell match.”

Julián’s search for his perfect donor is more difficult because of his Hispanic ethnicity, which is a blend of Mexican and Nicaraguan. Even at the largest and most diverse blood stem cell registry in the world, only 7 percent of the more than 19 million registry members are Hispanic. As a result, Hispanic patients fighting blood cancer such as leukemia or blood disorders have only a 46 percent chance of finding a fully matched blood stem cell donor compared to a 77 percent chance for those who are white. Because people are more likely to match someone of their same ethnic background, Julián’s family is hoping more Hispanics will join the national Be The Match Registry.

People from diverse backgrounds, particularly Hispanic or mixed ethnicities, can register to become a potential donor and help save a life. Those between the ages of 18 and 44 are most urgently needed since they’re requested by transplant doctors more than 85 percent of the time and research shows that these donors provide the greatest chance for transplant success.

What You Can Do

To be a part of the solution, visit https://join.bethematch.org/saveJulian and complete the online registration form. You’ll get a swab kit with easyto-follow instructions on how to complete the registration process at home and return the swab samples in the mail. Becoming a donor is safe, free and confidential.

How It Works

About one in every 430 U.S. Be The Match Registry members go on to donate to a patient. If someone is identified as a genetic match for a searching patient, he or she will be asked to donate blood stem cells. Most often, blood stem cell donation is a nonsurgical, outpatient procedure similar to donating platelets or plasma.

PEACE

Jesus says in John 16:33, ”These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. ‘’We all have our share of trials, problems and fights, some more than others. Can we have peace in this unfair, corrupted life? HIS words tell us He’s got this.Those of us that have chosen to stop trusting our own good deeds, or any other person or thing and have repented from our sinful lifestyle and trusted only in Jesus for our eternal life have access to a peace that’s only in Christ. Yes, peace in this life now as we travel through our maze of troubles as we look forward to being with Jesus personally forever.

HOME FIRE RISKS INCREASE AS WEATHER COOLS

(NAPSI)—The fall and winter seasons bring cooler temperatures,holidays,and images of cozy nights by the fireplace. Yet the change in seasons also comes withthechanceofsevereweatherandan increaseinfirerisks.AccordingtotheU.S. Fire Administration, more home fires occur in winter than in any other season. “Holiday decorations, space heaters, generators, and fireplaces all present fire hazards if not properly used and maintained,” said Steve Hirsch, chair of the National Volunteer Fire Council. “Residents should be aware of the dangers and take the steps to make sure their families and homes are protected.”

Follow these tips to minimize home fire and safety risks:

• Install smoke alarms in every sleeping room, outside each separate sleeping area, and on every level of the home. Test monthly to ensure they work.

• Install carbon monoxide alarms and test them at least once a month.

• Know where the gas, electric, and water main shut-off controls are and how to use them.

• Place fire extinguishers in the kitchen, garage,and living room,and make sure all household members know how to use them.

• Develop a home fire escape plan and practice it with the entire family.

• Keep portable generators outside and away from the home.

• Install a screen in front of each fireplace or wood stove. Store cooled ashes in a metal container outside the home.

• Have chimneys professionally inspected and cleaned every year.

• Keep anything that can burn at least three feet away from fireplaces, radiators, space heaters, or other heat source.

• Never leave lit candles unattended, and keep them out of the reach of children and pets.

• If using a live Christmas tree, keep it adequatelywateredandgetridof itafter Christmas or when it gets dry.

Residents can also take an active role in protecting their communities from hazards such as fires, medical emergencies, and much more. Fire departmentsacrossthecountryarelooking for volunteers to serve as firefighters,EMS providers,andauxiliarymembers.

“The majority of firefighters in the U.S. are volunteers—neighbors helping neighbors in an incredible and rewarding way,” said Hirsch. “We need morepeopletoanswerthecalltoserve.”

Training is provided by the department, and volunteers can serve in a variety of roles, from providing life-saving emergency response services to conducting fire prevention programs and disaster preparedness planning.

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

Do Cats Really Need Potty Training?

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I read with interest your recent column about cats using shop towels rather than kitty litter to do their business. How did their owner manage to train the cats to use the towels and switch from litter? And why not just let a cat do its business outside? -- Caroline D., Winchester, Virginia

DEAR CAROLINE: Compared with dogs, cats are usually easy to potty train (or litter train) because they have very speci c potty behaviors. Cats instinctively bury their poop to hide their scent from potential predators -- hence the use of cat litter, which also absorbs urine well and masks the scent for a few days.

I’m not sure how the reader did it, but one way to switch a cat from litter box to a pad is to place the new pad and tray next to the old litter box so that a cat can sni around it, check it out and become familiar with it. A er a day or two, remove the litter box and put the pad in its place. Many cats will get the message right away. Others might hunt around for their box; if you notice this, place them gently on the pad to help them make the connection.

I’m not a big fan of letting indoor cats go outside to do their business. ey’ll o en head straight for the nearest ower bed, leaving a surprise that I’m personally not thrilled about. ey also are at risk in the outdoors, from coyotes, turkeys (yes, turkeys in the Northeast), cars and other cats. It’s better to provide a safe spot indoors with a clean litter box.

One of the earliest known confirmed hats was worn by a bronze-aged man nicknamed Otzi, whose body was found frozen in a mountain between Austria and Italy, where he had been since around 3250 BCE. He was discovered wearing a bearskin cap with a chinstrap made of several hides stitched together, resembling a Russian fur hat.

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.

9 THINGS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.

Well respected, honored and appreciated for his civil rights activism, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. rightfully earned his place as one of the most influential figures in American and world history. Through his religious teachings and social activism, Dr. King played a key role in the American Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s.

While Dr. King lived a good portion of his life in the public eye, many facts of his life are not widely known. In honor of his birthday and Black History Month, the following are some interesting and less publicized facts about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

1. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birth name was not “Martin,” but “Michael.” Dr. King’s father traveled to Germany and became inspired by Protestant reformer Martin Luther and thus changed his name while also changing the name of his then 5-year-old-son.

2. Dr. King was a prodigious student. Not only did he skip two grades and start college before formally graduating high school, but Dr. King also earned a bachelor’s degree at age 19, graduating from Morehouse College in 1948 with a degree in sociology.

3. Though not a singer, Dr. King earned a posthumous Grammy Award nonetheless. In 1971, Dr. King was awarded Best Spoken Word album for “Why I Oppose the War in Vietnam.”

4. Although people cannot readily find photographs of Dr. King smoking, he was a regular smoker and even hid the habit from the public and from his children so they wouldn’t take up smoking. It was believed Dr. King was smoking a cigarette when he was fatally shot.

5. While Dr. King is remembered as an enthralling public speaker, he actually scored poorly in public speaking during his first year at seminary. He received a “C” in the class but earned straight “As” by his final year. 6.Dr.Kingwasa“StarTrek”fan.HeconvincedactressNichelleNichols,who played the role of “Uhura” on the show, to continue working with the series. Nichols was considering leaving, but Dr. King told her she was breaking boundaries by playing a character who didn’t conform to black stereotypes.

7. Dr. King narrowly escaped an assassination attempt on September 20, 1958. On that day, Dr. King was in Harlem signing copies of his new book, “Stride Toward Freedom,” when he was approached by a woman who stabbed him with a letter opener. He barely survived.

8. Dr. King’s speech in Memphis in April 1968 may have prophesied his death. Speaking to an audience at Mason Temple Church, King said, “Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I’m not concerned about that now . I’ve seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land.”

9. Dr. King’s birthday is now observed as a national holiday in the United States. President Ronald Reagan signed the bill in 1983. The only other American to earn this honor is George Washington.
