Here’s A Tip

By JoAnn Derson

The thesaurus, of course! It helps us tell a better story

Roget started the book in 1848 and ﬁnished in 1852 with 15,000 words

The book’s full original title was “Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases Classiﬁed and Arranged so as to Facilitate the Expression of Ideas and Assist in Literary Composition.”

* If you’re expecting your ﬁrst child, heed this bit of advice: Assemble and otherwise try out complicated items right away, while you have the time to learn how to work them. New dad Dan had a heck of a time trying to load bags into his brand-new Diaper Genie in the middle of the night.

* Bloodstains on clothing can be really tough to treat. e best way to get a bloodstain out of clothing is by dousing the stain with hydrogen peroxide and washing immediately as usual.

* “I love to reﬁnish and paint furniture pieces and woodcra s. I always check my local recycling center for small amounts of “recycled” paint. Usually, someone has gotten rid of good paint, and the people at the recycling center are happy to have it used.”

If you wear Hearing Aids

Are you hearing as clearly as you want? I have an advanced programming procedure that can maximize your ability to understand speech clearly with your current hearing aids. We honor all warranties no matter where purchased.

What would the Three Little Pigs have been without a thesaurus?

The nursery rhyme favorite turns to synonyms to create a rhythm and urgency. Instead of just simply saying he would take down the house with a big gust of air, he added some excitement: “I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house down!” Different words make stories more stimulating and fun.

* Toothpaste works well as a silver polish. Wet your silver, plop a little non-gel toothpaste on it and rub gently with a damp, clean rag. Rinse well with a separate rag, and buﬀ dry. en just step back and let it shine.

DID YOU KNOW?

What do Bingo® and pizza have in common? It appears each originated in Italy and are enjoyed across the globe. Bingo is derived fromtheLoGiuocodelLottod’Italia, which is the Italian national lottery that has been played since 1530. It is still played every Saturday in Italy. The game was later introduced to France, where it was known as Le Lotto, and Germany, where it was a child’s game to help students learn key subjects. Bingo soon found itself on American soil, and originally was called “Beano.”

Players at country fairs would mark their numbered cards with beans after dealers selected numbered discs from cigar boxes. When players won the game, they’d yell out “beano.” An enterprising New York salesman named Edwin S. Lowe came across the game at a carnival in Georgia, and overheard someone accidentally yell “bingo” in stead of “beano” upon winning. Lowe renamed the game and hired a Columbia University math professor to come up with a higher number of combinations for playing cards so there would be fewer non-repeating groups. Lowe ultimately marketed the redeveloped game as “Bingo.”

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must ﬁll each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can ﬁgure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

GET A MORE RESTFUL NIGHT’S SLEEP

There is no magic formula to ensure long-term health. However, if there were such an equation, sleep would be a critical component. Though adults may be able to function with less sleep than doctors recommend, the National Institutes of Health note that consistent lack of sufﬁcient sleep can interfere with work, social functioning and driving ability.

The National Institute on Aging notes that adults of all ages generally need the same amount of sleep, typically between seven and nine hours of rest per night. That’s an important distinction, as busy adults in mid-life might feel as though they can operate on less sleep without adversely affecting their overall health. However, in addition to the problems noted by the NIH, the NIA reports that ongoing lack of sleep, or even consistently poor sleep quality, can increase risk for cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, and obesity. Sleep is an important component of a healthy lifestyle.

TIPS TO GET CHILDREN EXCITED ABOUT EXERCISE

Look for new ways to exercise. Plan vacations and day trips around an activity. Perhaps the family can learn how to surf or snorkel on a trip; otherwise,a trip to the zoo or a museum can involve a lot of walking.

Be Respectful of the Times You’re Sending Texts

I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE!

Thank you to the lady who bought my meal on Sunday, January 12th around 7am. No one has ever done that for me and it made my day! I really appreciate your kindness. Have a wonderful day.

Why is it people think nothing of sending texts messages at all kinds of times?!

I’m tired of getting awakened by people sending me texts at unreasonable hours. How about some consideration?

Sincerest Thank You

I’ve been asked, why don’t I just turn my phone off at night?

Answer:

I would like to say thank you so very much to the wonderful woman (found out she is a nurse) who helped me out in the Wegmans parking lot awhile back. I was having a medical issue and she assisted me with my bags and walked me all the way to my car. I did not catch her name but I have and will continue to pay it forward.

1. I have both a son and father who have life-threatening medical conditions that I’ve multiple times been called for assistance on and I don’t want to not be there to help them. If you’re OK with missing a call about a loved one, that’s your choice, but it’s not mine.

2. If I had a ﬁre, medical emergency, or break-in, I sure don’t want to wait for my phone to boot up.

Before you send someone a text, how about you ask yourself:

1. Do I expect the person I’m texting wouldn’t be sleeping now?

2. Is this a time I would call someone, instead of texting?

If the answers to those questions aren’t YES, then can I suggest you write your text so you don’t forget, but send at a later time?

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

Steroid Injections Provide Amazing Relief From Shingles Pain

DEAR DR. ROACH: I read your recent column on shingles.I am 66 and in fairly good health.I had both Shingrix shots about ﬁve years ago and take hydroxyurea for polycythemia vera (PV).

AroundAug.1,Inoticedsomespotsonmyforearm that appeared to be a spider bite. I went to my family doctor, and she immediately diagnosed me with shingles and put me on gabapentin, which didn’t help much. The next month was complete misery.

I never really had itching or an extensive rash, but intense pain and burning developed from the top of my neck down to my left thumb and foreﬁnger. My wife read that hydroxyurea lowers your immune system, which is probably why I had such a bad case of shingles despite the Shingrix shots. My cousin is a retired anesthesiologist and recommended an epidural steroid injection (ESI) thatwouldhelpmeimmediately.Ihadtheinjection, and within 24 hours, I had an 80% improvement in my pain level. Over the next month, the pain decreased another 10% to 15%. I went from being almost incapacitated to being able to live again in 24 hours. The outcome was life-changing!

It seems that doctors need to be brought up to date on ESIs for shingles. I understand that the studies are inconclusive, but the on-the-ground results seem to show that it is effective. The pain from shingles has to be experienced to really understand how debilitating it can be. ESIs are fairly inexpensive, and even if they only helped slightly, they would be worth the cost. To have the improvement I found is priceless.

ANSWER: I often recommend the vaccine to prevent shingles, but as your case shows, the vaccine isn’t perfect. I agree that your PV and its treatmentwithhydroxyureamayhavepredisposed you to the complication of shingles you had,called postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). You are quite right that the pain can be extraordinarily severe.

I am glad you wrote because steroid injections are not a treatment that I have written about before. As you say, not all trials found a beneﬁt, but the largest trial found that intrathecal injections (which are similar to epidural injections but are found to be more effective in a small trial) led to excellent or good pain relief in 90% of people with intractable PHN, compared to 4% in people who didn’t receive treatment.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a healthy 50-year-old man. When I was at the pharmacy recently, they said I could get a vaccine for pneumonia. Is this something I should do?

ANSWER: The pneumonia vaccine at age 50 is a new recommendation by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. The risk for developing severe pneumonia from the bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae starts to increase at age 50 and becomes much higher after 65. The new vaccines (PCV20 and PCV21 under the brand name Prevnar) have long-lasting protection for many strains of this bacterial species. If you haven’t had this vaccine and are over 50, you should consider it during your next visit. (It’s OK to get the vaccine at the same time as the ﬂu or COVID vaccines.)

Nancy L. Kurdziel

January 10, 2025

(Medina) Nancy L. Kurdziel, age 76, passed away peacefully on January 10, 2025 surrounded by her loving daughters. She was born in Medina on May 30, 1948, a daughter of the late Frank and Jean (Grimes) Marek, and had lived in Lyndonville and Medina all of her life.

Nancy graduated from LA Webber High School in Lyndonville, and as an alumna, enjoyed helping to plan class reunions, as she always looked forward to seeing her high school classmates and catching up with them. After high school, she attended Erie County Technical Institute for medical lab and lab tech studies and became a licensed practical nurse. Nancy worked for 38 years as an LPN serving the community at Medina Memorial Hospital—primarily on the North Wing. She took great pride in her work, appreciated her co-workers, and truly loved taking care of others and making them feel seen and special.

Upon retirement, Nancy was able to shift her focus even more to family and to her hobbies/meaningful interests. She was very proud to come from such a large family, and prioritized keeping up with everyone’s special occasions, achievements, and helping to document them. She used every resource available to make beautiful photo albums that she would give as gifts so loved ones had physical memories to look back on and reﬂect. Her calendar was always marked with everyone’s birthdays, anniversaries, and special milestones so that she could promptly send cards in celebration. Nancy married the love of her life, Bob Kurdziel, on February 7, 1970, and they enjoyed 48 years of marriage together. Gardening, vacationing in the Adirondacks, and supporting the Buﬀalo Bills were central shared pleasures; Nancy found comfort in continuing those activities upon losing Bob six years ago. She found great joy in passing time sitting outside on her patio: observing nature,

feeling the sunshine, listening to her pond’s waterfall, and visiting with loved ones and neighbors. She also found pleasure in putting together jigsaw puzzles, doing crosswords, journaling, and collecting Peanuts memorabilia—especially anything featuring Snoopy. Most importantly, she cherished spending time with her family. She adored her grandchildren, and absolutely spoiled them with her love: showering them with aﬀection, gifts, and plenty of good food and treats was her favorite thing to do. She deeply loved her siblings and entire extended family and cherished every opportunity to gather and spend time together—especially when the gatherings were at the family farm, which is where she has always felt most at home and at peace. She will be greatly missed by all who loved her and those whose lives she so generously touched.

In addition to her parents, Nancy was predeceased by her loving husband, Bob; sister, Beverly Sargent; and father-in-law and mother-in-law, Edmund and Helen (Biernacki) Kurdziel. She is survived by her daughters, Laurie (Dana Bentley) Kurdziel, Jill (Robb) Kurdziel Tillett, Susan Todd; grandchildren, Justin Kurdziel-Tai, Aaron Kurdziel-Tai, Billy Tillett, Oliver Tillett, Devin Galbreath, Ethan Galbreath; siblings, Larry (Norva) Marek, Sandy (Glenn) Marek, Scott (Tanya) Marek, Greg (Renee) Marek, Gary Marek, Brian (Tonna) Marek; brother-in-law, Frank Sargent; aunt, Joanne Grimes; as well as several nieces, nephews, and cousins. Calling hours were held on Friday, January 17th from 4:00-7:00pm at Cooper Funeral Home, 215 West Center St., Medina. Nancy’s Mass of Christian Burial was held on Saturday, January 18th at 11:00am at Holy Trinity Parish, St. Mary’s Church, Medina. Burial was in Sacred Heart Cemetery. In lieu of ﬂowers, memorial donations may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 262 Danny omas Place, Memphis, TN 38105.

January 9, 2025

FUNERAL PRE-PLANNING WITH A PRO EASES ANXIETY

The death of a loved is difﬁcult to confront. Emotions are elevated and grief is prominent. which can make it hard to make important decisions. Quite often several people need to come together to make decisions necessary for a family member’s funeral arrangements. There also is a ﬁnancial component to consider.

According to Lincoln Heritage Life Insurance Company, the average funeral costs between $7,000 and $12,000, which may or may not include viewing, burial, transport, casket, and other fees. Surviving family members responsible for planning a funeral may be asked to contribute a portion of these expenses if other arrangements have not already been made, which can exacerbate stressful feelings during an already difﬁcult time.

Funeral pre-planning is a good way for individuals to make a difﬁcult time a little more manageable for their survivors. Funeral homes frequently work hand-in-hand with individuals and families to customize pre-planning packages and facilitate the process.

Albion: Richard H. Newbould, age 94, passed away on January 9, 2025. He was born on October 1, 1930, in the Town of Barre to the late Robert and Emma (Laraby) Newbould.

Richard was a U.S. Army veteran, serving our country in the Korean War and was a member of the Sheret Post American Legion as well as being a lifetime member of the Albion Rod and Gun Club. He enjoyed fishing, collecting canning jars, and selling antiques at local flea markets. Richard enjoyed spending time with his family. You often found him working in his barn on his lawnmowers and tractors.

Richard was predeceased by his wife, Shirley Newbould; his son, Robert Newbould; and several siblings.

Richard is survived by his sons, Ricky, Randy (Annette), and Ron Newbould; grandchildren, Richard, Billy, Cody, Amanda, Stacey, Brandie, and Amber; great-granddaughter, Sadie; as well as several nieces and nephews.

A Celebration of Life was held on Saturday, January 18, 2025, at 4pm at the Albion Rod and Gun Club, 4535 Lime Kiln Rd, Albion, NY 14411.

Anne Maycock Merlino December 21, 2024

Anne Maycock Merlino, of Powhatan, Virginia and Oak Orchard on the Lake in Waterport, New York, passed away peacefully on December 21, 2024 at the age of 90.

Anne was born in Buﬀalo, New York, and moved as a young girl to Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan, where she attended high school at Grosse Pointe South. She attended Southern Seminary in Virginia, and then worked as a receptionist in New York, where by all accounts, she had great fun living with her dear cousins. While working in New York, she met and fell in love with Joe Merlino, whom she later married. Anne and Joe moved to Connecticut and then Powhatan, Virginia, but their favorite place to be was at their beloved summer cottage in Oak Orchard, New York.

Anne had a wonderful sense of humor and a beautiful laugh. She held dear a small number of close friends, and was especially fond of her cousins and her brother. She was always impeccably dressed and was never without her lipstick and gold jewelry! Anne loved summers at the lake, late afternoon walks with her dog, and an evening cocktail.

In Anne’s later years, her brain began to decline due to Alzheimer’s disease, but even when her words no longer made sense, she was able to express gratitude to those taking care of her with a smile and a kiss on the hand.

Anne is survived by her nieces and nephew, and several loving cousins. She was predeceased by her husband, Joe Merlino; her parents, Annie Richmond Maycock and Joseph Farwell Maycock, and her brother, Joseph Farwell Maycock, Jr.

In lieu of ﬂowers, the family asks that you consider a donation to the Alzheimer’s Association in Anne’s name: Alzheimer’s Association, P.O. Box 96011, Washington, DC 20090-6011.

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Marzotta

NEW YEAR, NEW CAT!

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My parents at Christmas said I’m finally old enough to have a kitten! We are going to the local Humane Society this weekend to adopt one. What suggestions do you have so that I train the kitten right? -William in Manassas, Virginia

DEARWILLIAM: Grab a book on cat care at the local bookstore or library and read it cover to cover. While cats are considered to be easier to care for than dogs, they still need to be properly house-trained and given a routine (which helps immensely with reducing anxiety-related behaviors, too).

I’m sure you’ve already stocked up on kitten food, though it’s a good idea not to buy too much to begin with. You’ll want to try a few different brands and types of food -- dry, wet or fresh -- to see what the kitten likes and how well he responds to each.

When you pick up your new kitten, talk to the shelter staff to learn about any particular behaviors the kitten has, any health issues that need monitoring, and any advice they have for getting him or her settled in. Cats being prepared for adoption are sometimes fostered out to make sure they can live easily with humans and to observe them for any health or behavioral issues that need to be ironed out before they’re ready to go to a forever family. The shelter will have that information for you so that there are no surprises (like territorial peeing).

Congratulations, and best of luck! Sounds like you will soon have a new friend in the household.
