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 with the chance of severe weather and an increase in fire risks. According to the U.S. Fire Administration, more home fires occur in winter than in any other season.
HOMETOWN
“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.”

FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 2020
HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Events could inspire adventurous Lambs looking to make a major career or personal move. But as always, get all the facts before rushing into any sort of deal or commitment. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) What seems to be a great opportunity could cause even usually practical Taureans to ignore their inner caution cues. Best to move carefully to avoid falling into unseen traps. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Need a holiday now that the seasonal festivities are behind you? Good idea. Plan to go someplace wonderful. You’ll return refreshed and more than ready for a new challenge. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Progress continues to be made on that pesky workplace problem. Meanwhile, don’t assume a personal situation will work itself out. Best to get more involved earlier than later. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Catnaps are definitely recommended for Leos and Leonas who had been going at a hectic pace over the holidays. Adding relaxation time to your schedule helps restore your overdrawn energy reserves. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Sure, some of the new friends you made over the holidays might move out of your life at some point. But at least one might show significant “staying power” with some encouragement. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Encourage family members to join you in supporting a relative who could be facing a difficult emotional challenge in the New Year. Showing your love and concern helps keep his or her hopes up. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) While a long-deferred decision suddenly might take on some urgency after news on a related matter, you still need to weigh all factors carefully before deciding one way or the other. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) This is a good time to reassess the earlier plan you made for the New Year. Some elements you felt you could depend on to make it work might no longer carry that assurance. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Forming a renewed connection with a former associate is only the first step toward working out your new plans. Be prepared for problems, and deal with them as soon as they arise. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A romantic situation that was going smoothly not too long ago might take a new turn. Be honest about your feelings before you decide whether to follow it or take another path. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) The wise Pisces (that’s you, of course) will make sure everyone knows your plan to keep your options open and listen to all sides of the situation before making any decisions. BORN THIS WEEK: Your honest approach to life and living is always an inspiration for others fortunate enough to know you.

IT PAYS TO USE CRATES WHEN TRAINING PUPPIES Many dog owners, particularly those who have never before had a dog, may hesitate to employ crates to train their puppies. That’s understandable, as on the surface it can seem cruel or inhumane to confine a living animal to a cage. However, the AKC notes that dogs are den animals that naturally seek out canine caves for security. That’s true whether dog owners provide crates for their puppies or not. So while humans may see crates as cruel, dogs very likely view their crates as secure places where they can go if they get scared or feel skittish. In fact, according to the AKC, dogs’ perception of crates is one reason why dog owners typically find it relatively easy to get their dogs to adjust to crates and ultimately enjoy them.

They Call Her “Mama Cindy” – Part One By Amanda Dudek
S
he’s the go-to person for those in need, especially deployed soldiers. Cynthia Strasburg of Hemlock, affectionately known as “Mama Cindy,” has sent 9,445 care packages to American troops over nearly 15 years, including soldiers in 20 countries, four active canine units and soldiers aboard the USS Harry S. Truman. Even so, Strasburg’s “Mama Cindy Soldier Program” all started with one soldier, one unit, one country, one wish.
In 2005, Wendy Parcel, an officer in the National Guard, was deployed to Iraq. “She was a woman serving in a ‘man’s army’ going to a country that doesn’t respect women,” said Strasburg. “She had shipped out in January, and she sent me an email: ‘It is so cold over here; I wish I had brought some heavy socks or slippers.’” Strasburg went straight to the Ladies Auxiliary Post 282 and secured a donation to purchase heavy socks and slippers for Parcel’s entire unit, shipping her first package on Valentine’s Day 2005. However, Strasburg’s passion to care for our troops really began on 9/11. “I was working on a wedding,” she shared. “The maid of honor was flying down a week early for me to work on her dress.” Tragically, the young woman would never arrive; she was on the 9/11 flight that headed for the Pentagon. The airline approached Strasburg about making a teddy bear out of the uniform of one of the stewardesses who also died on that flight. Strasburg, who has made thousands of keepsake bears from the clothing of those who have passed away, was only too happy to oblige. When asked if her efforts could be promoted, Strasburg declined. “This is not a business,” she said. “This is one heart reaching to another, a healing process.”
The Mama Cindy Soldier Program quickly gained momentum. “In every package, I include a handwritten letter,” said Strasburg. “One soldier said to me, ‘I loved what was sent, but I would love having more letters.’” So, she wrote and mailed a letter to him every day for 30 days. “One soldier was shot 12 times,” she recalled. “He had received packages from me when he was overseas. When he was in recovery in Texas, I received an email from him asking me to write to him there.” Strasburg started writing him letters and sending him packages containing treats and things he might need in the hospital. The soldier was in dire straits, wondering if he would make it and why he lived. “I told him, ‘God has another mission for you,’” said Strasburg. “I crocheted a red-white-and-blue afghan and put it around me before sending it to him and his mother at the hospital. I put a note in it that said, ‘I am putting this around me so that you can feel the hugs of all the people waiting for you to come home.’” Another soldier, a Marine in Iraq, called Strasburg, exclaiming, “My gunny sergeant was shot, and I had to administer first aid, and I didn’t know if he was going to die or if I was going to die!” When the Marine asked her why she picked up the phone, Strasburg simply replied, “Because you needed someone to talk to. The phone will always be answered.”
●
GVPENNYSAVER.COM 1-866-812-8111
Yet another soldier emailed her from Afghanistan. “He said, ‘Mama Cindy, I need your help,’” said Strasburg. “‘An Afghan family’s vehicle exploded. Both parents died, and we have an infant and a toddler now. We have nothing here. Is there any way you can get us anything on this list?’” I had just delivered Christmas items to Dansville Hospital, and they gave me all these bags,” Strasburg explained. “With God as my witness, everything on that list was in those bags. The Lord provided before I even knew I had a place for it. I packaged it up, took it to the post office, mailed it that very day!” Another time, a Marine mom asked Strasburg for help sending packages to her son as the costs were becoming too difficult. Strasburg “adopted” the woman’s son and his entire unit of thirteen soldiers. “I got off the phone and went right to my knees in prayer and said, ‘Father, you gave me these Marines, and there is only $1.52 in the Soldier fund bank account. You’ll provide,’” she said. “I had to leave to do errands. When I came home, someone had put a check for $200 underneath my door. You can’t make this stuff up; it’s real!” When asked why she continues to do so much, Strasburg humbly responded, “It’s a labor of love. I send them a package from home so that maybe – just maybe – they will be able to finish their mission and come back home safely to their loved ones once again.’”
Every January, “Mama” Cindy Strasburg bakes for troops overseas!

“Mama” Cindy Strasburg wears her flag dress to accept a donation from the Livingston County CSEU WHIPH Organization.
“I do this year-round, and I am military approved by every branch, but I am not a 501c3.” She added, “I am one mama who believes you can make a difference in someone’s life. This will be my never-ending mission until they all come home or the Lord calls me home.”

TRY A TASTE OF HISPANIC HERITAGE (NAPSI)—National Hispanic Heritage Month is an opportunity to acknowledge the history, culture and contributions of the people of Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South America, and Spain. One of the best ways to celebrate, many say, is with food.
134 Main Street Dansville, NY 14437 Phone: 585-335-8537 Fax: 585-204-4007
Making that easy is one restaurant chain that’s having a year-round love affair with Latin and Hispanic cuisine. Long known for its authentic Tex-Mex roots, Church’s Chicken®/Texas Chicken® has spent years championing the commemorative period—which runs from September15 to October 15th—on a global stage.
President ..............................Steve Harrison Vice President .....................Kimberly Dougherty
The first Hispanic influence on the company’s menu was the jalapeño pepper—the very first side item ever offered at the restaurant chain. The peppers were added to the menu due to a San Antonio tradition of squeezing their juice over various foods to give them a south-of-theborder style “kick” of heat and spice.
Advertising Sales Manager .............................Manuel Karam
The restaurant’s sister brand, Texas Chicken, features the Mexicana Burger on menus worldwide. This tasty chicken burger is a fiesta of tastes and textures, with a juicy hand-battered chicken breast fillet that’s topped “taco style” with cheese, fresh lettuce, tomato, spicy mayo, crunchy tortilla chips and chopped onions.

Thank you to all the workers at Dollar General, Big M, the Post Office and C Bank, from Grandma Carol Creswell of Bloomfield. I want to thank the nice person at the Tim Hortons Spencerport drive For weeks, our local grocery store has posted that they were reducing hours, closing at 8 p.m. Well, ok, but on Saturday, Nov. 9, I pulled into the parking lot at 7:51, and the employees were already in their cars, pulling out of the mostly empty employee parking lot. I checked cellphone time. I thought there might be a few left inside, so I watched as another customer went to the door, which was already locked. She shook the door. No one came, so she walked back to her car, angrily yelling to me they were closed early. I pulled out of the parking lot at 7:55 and went to another town to buy what I needed, but I had driven about 5 miles out of my way to buy locally; I won’t make that mistake again. Management is failing when employees close store before posted hours, alienating customers.

thru. I was just grabbing some coffee and a hot cocoa for myself and my handicapped mother. It was Christmas Eve at about 11:30 am. When I pulled up to the window, the girl said the person ahead of me had paid for me and the car behind me. What a wonderful thing to do! I have never had someone do that for me. Your kindness will be paid forward. Thank you and Merry Christmas. - Sheila Ryan, Spencerport On 12/20/19 I was shopping at Tops Market in Batavia and got more restarted local operation - I drive by this farm Monday through Friday, and these birds are packed tighter than sardines. Most of them never venture outside. Even worse -- the barn doors remained open, with some birds outdoors due to crowding and others packed against open doors, even during our recent snow and extreme cold. I never see anyone around to monitor them. I fully support buying local, but these birds do not seem “as advertised” or well cared for. Drive by and see for yourselves before buying. This is shameful. I hate to rant; I really do but walking the canal from [local spot] to [local spot] should make all who do it rant in similar fashion. I’m a dog lover. I have one, always have, but to think of walking him, letting him poop on the canal path, or right next to it, and not picking it up and disposing of it properly is

than I planned on. So, I asked for some help getting the bags to my car. It was very busy in the store due to Christmas (no help showed up) when suddenly a handsome stranger asked if he could help me and I said “yes.” He ignored the cell phone call from my plumber who called on the way to my car and put all away all my groceries and shut the trunk. I blessed him and he wished me a Merry Christmas. Was this a young Santa Claus? I think so… This was so nice of a stranger. Don’t know his name, but he was so polite. He brightened this 87-year old’s day! absolutely unacceptable! What are you thinking when you allow your dog to do so before you just walk away and forget about it? Equally disgusting is the person(s) who actually picks it up, bags it and then leaves the filled bag along the path on a stone or under a bush. What are you thinking? Are you entitled? Do you think someone else will just come along and pick it up? You are responsible for your dog’s mess. I am not! We are getting to that time of year when the weather becomes freezing and harsh. Some people have been misinformed when it comes to dogs surviving outside during these times. They want to be warm and comfortable just like we do. Bring your pets inside, no matter what you use them for. No one around you wants to listen to them cry and bark all day and night because they’re hurting, freezing or going crazy in the tiny space they’re kept in 24/7.

MaryAnn, you are a Christmas angel. The boys appreciated the clothes. Thank you for all you did! JH My boys and I would like to thank a generous “Christmas elf” for making our Christmas extra special this year. The Christmas spirit is alive and well, and my children had the most wonderful Christmas. Thank you, and God bless you! One
I work as a cashier, and today I had what was probably the worst experience since I started cashiering with a mother and father and their completely undisciplined child. The child seemed to be about seven or eight years old, so I’m not blaming him. The child shoved past me, tried to steal my personal property, attempted to press buttons on the cash register, and generally disturbed everyone in not only my line, but in my neighbors’ lines, as well. The parents pretty much just let their child run free. I sincerely hope that both are embarrassed about this. If you can’t control your child, then one of you should take him outside to your car. Please do not come back to my store, or if you do, please stay out of my line. Everyone in the vicinity was mortified by your child’s behavior.

SMALL MOMENTS MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE (NAPSI)—There are about 74 million children in America today and if you’re a parent, here’s something you should know: involved fathers— whether they live with their kids or not—can help their children lead happier, healthier and more successful lives. Children who feel close to their fathers are two times more likely to go to college or find a job after high school, 80 percent less likely to end up in jail and 50 percent less likely to experience depression.1 The small moments kids enjoy spending with their fathers can make a big difference in their lives. If you’re like most fathers, you’re already doing what you can to be a great dad. Here’s a look at five easy ways to keep it up. What You Can Do 1. Spend time with your children.
RESOLVE TO REDUCE SCREEN TIME
2. Be a positive role model.
Keep a journal. A journal can help men and women log their screen time over the course of a few weeks. Jot down time spent watching TV, using a computer, using mobile devices, or playing video games. Some people may be surprised to learn just how much time they’re spending staring at screens, and that realization may be just what they need to make changes.
3. Send a text to stay connected when far away. 4. Read to your children. 5. Remember #DadJokesRule! There has been a massive growth in fatherhood involvement over decades—fathers now spend nearly triple the amount of time with their children than fathers did in the 1960s.2

• Over half have helped with a class trip, special project or activity. • Over a third of fathers have helped with coaching their children’s sports teams.7
Even though fathers are largely more involved than in previous generations, dads today still want to be more engaged. Nearly half say they don’t spend enough time with their kids and want to do a better job at parenting.8 To help more fathers understand the importance of their role in their children’s lives, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration for Children and Families, the National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse (@fatherhoodgov), and the Ad Council (@ adcouncil) have partnered on a national Responsible Fatherhood Campaign.
Magic Maze TRADEMARKS FREQUENTLY USED AS GENERIC TERMS
“All dads should be supported and celebrated for their efforts on Father’s Day and year-round because we know how the story ends for the kids whose fathers show up for them consistently—these children and families thrive,” says Kenneth Braswell (@braswellkenneth), Director, National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse and Fathers Incorporated. The campaign drives to Fatherhood.gov a free resource that offers information, tools and more. Dads can visit the website for ideas to get involved and stay involved in their children’s lives. Other resources include activity suggestions, homework help, online games and a long list of dad jokes! No matter how busy you may be, make time for your children. It only takes a moment to make a moment. Learn More: For helpful tips, tools, information, jokes and resources, visit www.fatherhood.gov. 1 - Primus, L. (2017).

A Look Back… MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel
Life insurance is a product few people want to think about. That’s perfectly understandable, as life insurance forces men and women to consider their own mortality. But life insurance is not something adults should avoid, especially if they have dependents. Many people should consider life insurance when estate planning so they can provide security for their loved ones. But life insurance is a purchase unlike any other, and people may be confused or intimidated when attempting to purchase life insurance policies. Deciding if you need coverage While life insurance seems like the kind of thing every person should have, that’s not necessarily the case. For example, single men and women with no dependents and no tax or debt concerns generally do not need life insurance. If you are single but have tax issues or a considerable amount of debt, then a life insurance policy can be used to pay those debts upon your death. Adults with dependents, such as a spouse and/or children, should consider purchasing life insurance, which can help your surviving dependents maintain their quality of life and pay their bills in the wake of your death. Buying life insurance Much like various other types of insurance, life insurance can be purchased from an insurance agent or via an insurance company’s website. When choosing a company from which to buy a life insurance policy, look for a company with a strong rating, as no one wants to end up being burned by a life insurance provider who goes out of business. Some people prefer to work with independent brokers who can share information about products from various providers rather than just the ones offered by the firm company-affiliated agents work for. Choosing coverage When choosing coverage, you will no doubt be asked if you prefer term insurance or permanent insurance. Term insurance is the least expensive life insurance, and such policies only last for a predetermined number of years. Men and women may purchase life insurance policies if they only want life insurance until they retire or until their children reach adulthood. Permanent insurance is more expensive and will last from the moment you purchase the policy until your death. Many people choose permanent life insurance policies so the money their beneficiaries receive upon their death can be used to pay estate taxes. In addition, there is an investment component to permanent insurance policies, as a portion of the premiums on such policies is invested (policies will spell out how the money is invested) and allowed to grow taxfree so long as the policy is open. Term insurance only provides protection with no investments. When choosing how much coverage to purchase, it’s easy to go overboard and aim for as much as possible. However, many financial advisors suggest purchasing enough coverage to pay for funeral costs and a level of income replacement you can comfortably afford. If your spouse does not work, you should consider purchasing enough coverage so he or she can afford to pay the family’s day-to-day cost of living expenses. Life insurance merits serious consideration, and adults should do their homework and fully understand a policy before signing any contracts. MM15C708 GENESEE VALLEY PENNY SAVER

On Jan. 8, 1835, President Andrew Jackson achieves his goal of entirely paying off the United States’ national debt. It was the only time in U.S. history that the national debt stood at zero, and it precipitated one of the worst financial crises in American history, the Panic of 1837. On Jan. 9, 1861, a Union merchant ship is fired upon as it tries to deliver supplies to Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina, in the first exchange of shots between North and South. The shots were fired by gunner George E. Haynsworth, a cadet at The Citadel in Charleston. On Jan. 7, 1927, the Harlem Globetrotters basketball team travels west from Chicago to play their first game, in Hinckley, Illinois. Coach Abe Saperstein decided to promote his new team’s racial makeup by naming them after Harlem, the famous black neighborhood of New York City.

BEGIN PLANNING KIDS’ SUM M ER RECREATION NOW If camp seems out of reach, look into local summer recreation programs at parks or schools. Such programs may not be as extensive as those offered by camps, but they can quell kids’ boredom and keep children occupied during the day.
When looking for a new hobby, adults may find that activities that suit their personalities tend to be the most rewarding.
Resolve to put down devices and reduce screen time Electronic devices have infiltrated nearly every aspect of daily life. And thanks to the portability of today’s smartphones and tablets, many people are rarely without access to the internet or other digital applications. A 2016 Nielsen Company audience report found that adults in the United States devoted about 10 hours and 39 minutes each day to consuming media. The analytics firm Flurry says users are spending nearly half of that time on mobile devices, particularly using mobile apps. Active Healthy Kids Canada reported in 2014 that children between the ages of three and five spent an average of two hours per day in front of screens, while the statistics group eMarketer estimates that adults in Canada spent an average of nine hours and 41 minutes a day using media in 2016. The Canadian Paediatric Society states that exposure to digital media is a concern and can affect children and families. Exposure to screens can be habit-forming, and early overexposure increases the likelihood of overuse later in life. Reducing screen time has become a mantra in many households across North America and may also be something adults hope to do in the future. The following are some ways to cut down on screen time. Keep a journal. A journal can help men and women log their screen time over the course of a few weeks. Jot down time spent watching TV, using a computer, using mobile devices, or playing video games. Some people may be surprised to learn just how much time they’re spending staring at screens, and that realization may be just what they need to make changes. GENESEE VALLEY PENNY SAVER

Use a standard alarm clock. By not using their smartphones as alarm clocks, people can avoid the temptation to begin looking at social media or emails even before they’ve wiped the sleep from their eyes. Make a list of goals. Rather than reaching for a phone, Digital Detox experts suggest keeping a list of goals and experiences in one’s pocket that they can refer to when they’re tempted to look at their screens. Then they can engage in a real-world experience instead of simply looking at their phones. Schedule media hours. Set aside blocks of time when media use is allowed, and resist the urge to activate devices throughout the rest of the day. Put away the phone or tablet. Simply moving a device out of sight may reduce the temptation to send a text or hop onto an app. Remove superfluous apps. Delete apps that take up too much of your time. Having to go the extra step to view Facebook on a web browser, for example, may reduce the likelihood that you will do so. Go screen-free. Resolve to leave home without a phone for a few hours to enjoy unencumbered screen-free time. Electronic devices can be addictive. But over time and with some concerted effort, men, women and children can cut back on screen time.

CROSSWORD TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH By Keith Roach, M.D.
Turmeric Can be Helpful for Arthritis Pain ---

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am 88 and have had osteoarthritis in my hands and knees since I was in my 50s. I began taking Tylenol and Advil for pain. But on a recommendation from a health food store clerk, I started taking turmeric. Since that first dose, I have never had to take any pain medication again. I also have not had a knee replacement. My specialist is very pleased with my condition, and encourages my use of turmeric. I plan to up the dose from 150 mg daily because of research that shows its benefits in avoiding Alzheimer’s disease. -- D.D.L. ANSWER: Turmeric has been shown to be helpful in some people with osteoarthritis, and is unlikely to have serious side effects; however, stomach upset is possible, and turmeric should be used with caution in people on warfarin or other anticoagulants. However, there is no good evidence showing that turmeric prevents or treats dementia.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have been hearing a lot about making yogurt at home. Is homemade yogurt a recipe for food poisoning? -- H.C. ANSWER: Homemade yogurt is easy to make, can be more healthy than store-bought as it has very little sugar, and can be made very safely with minimal precautions. The key is to make sure the milk is fresh and sterile, then to carefully add in healthy bacteria. All you need to do is boil fresh milk to a bare simmer (to kill any unhealthy bacteria); cool it down to 100-110 F (37-42 C), which is an optimal temperature for growth of the healthy bacteria that help prevent the growth of unhealthy bacteria or yeast; stir in a few tablespoons of plain yogurt with active healthy bacterial cultures; and keep it in a warm place for six to 12 hours or so. You can use the yogurt you just made as the starter for the next batch. Add in some pureed fresh fruit, and you have a healthier, tastier and cheaper yogurt than you can buy at the store. ***
DEAR DR. ROACH: I take 40 mg of lisinopril for high blood pressure. One doctor told me to take a 40 mg tablet in the morning, while another said to take 20 mg in the morning and 20 mg in the evening. Will separating the dosage better control my blood pressure? On average, mine is 130/75. -- M.A.P. ANSWER: For lisinopril in particular, taking the medication twice daily showed a better reduction in blood pressure than once daily, according to a study performed last year. People who took lisinopril twice daily had about a 10-point systolic (4 point diastolic) improvement in BP control, so your blood pressure might be more like 120/71 if you started taking it in two doses, if you are similar to the subjects in the study (that sounds like a big drop to me, despite the study results). People who are doing just fine on once-daily lisinopril don’t need to change. Don’t make any changes in your medication without discussing it with your own doctor.

FOOD ALLERGY FAST FACTS Food allergies can develop from birth, and some last a lifetime. Others are developed at different ages and may be outgrown. No matter when allergies stop or start, they can be a life-threatening problem for children. Although food allergies may be managed more easily at home, they present different challenges for school-aged children. School nurses and administrative officials should be informed about food allergies, especially if they are severe enough to warrant medical intervention, such as medication. Food allergies are quite common. Consider these allergy facts that can help parents better understand any issues their children might face. • The Food Allergy Research and Education network says nearly 15 million people in the United States, many of whom are children, are affected by food allergies. • One in 13 Canadians, or roughly 2.5 million people, are affected by a food allergy, according to estimates from the Allergy, Genes and Environmental Network. • Around 7 percent of Canadian children under the age of 18 report having at least one food allergy. • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says children with food allergies are two to four times more likely to have other related conditions, such as asthma and other allergies. • Food allergies are an immune system response to the food, not a case of digestive intolerance. • Among food allergic children, peanuts are the most prevalent allergen, followed by milk and shellfish, says the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology. • Food allergies can cause everything from mild reactions, such as itchiness or hives, to anaphylaxis, a severe and potentially deadly reaction. • Risk of food allergies increases when there is a parent who suffers from any type of allergic disease - even those beyond food allergies. • A recent study conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine found that children are taking longer to outgrow milk and egg allergies. • Food avoidance remains the best way to prevent symptoms of food allergies. That is why reading product labels is vital.

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. GENESEE VALLEY PENNY SAVER

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.

FIVE TIPS TO HELP YOU ON THE ROAD TO YOUR NEW HOME (NAPSI)—Whenever you rent a truck to move yourself from one home to another, keeping these five facts in mind can help you and your furniture all arrive in good order and good time. 1. Let time be on your side. When planning your trip, take into account the time of day you intend to travel and likely traffic patterns. Always leave lots of extra time and be aware of possible bottlenecks along the way. 2. Read the agreement. Most truck rental agreements say something like the language from the U.S. Department of Transportation that prohibits the “carrying or hauling of explosives and other dangerous articles.” That means you can’t pack paint, chemicals and cleaning materials, flammable solvents, propane, gasoline and the like. Check with your rental agent if you’re not sure about a particular item.
Family of 1 $29,928 Family of 2 $39,144 Family of 3 $48,360 Family of 4 $57,564
3. Don’t be blindsided. Trucks have big blind spots, what the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration calls the “No-Zone.” You should know where these areas are, especially when changing lanes or coming to a stop. 4. Know what you’re driving. Make sure you can find and understand the use of all the truck’s switches and gauges. Adjust the seat and side mirrors so they match your height and comfort zone. Also, remember, trucks are taller, wider and may weigh up to 10 times more than the average car, explain the experts on truck rental at Penske, so you have to be extra vigilant. 5. Be sure to insure. Most insurance and credit card companies won’t cover truck rentals under existing policies. If your insurance company is among them, consider signing up for additional coverage options to protect yourself and your belongings. You may feel more confident knowing there is a company that offers free 24/7 emergency roadside assistance. Learn More: For further moving facts and tips, go to www. PenskeTruckRental.com or call (800) GO-PENSKE. GENESEE VALLEY PENNY SAVER
