DID YOU KNOW? According to the Environmental Protection Agency, air currents can carry pesticides that were applied to nearby properties. That means even people who do not apply pesticides in their lawns and gardens can still be at risk of exposure to these potentially harmful chemicals.People concerned by the prospect of being exposed to the pesticides being applied by their neighbors can stay indoors with their children and pets while the substances are being applied. Those who live near fields and parks where pesticides are routinely applied can plant hardy,thick-branched trees to reduce their risk of airborne exposure.The EPA notes that such plants and shrubs can serve as buffers against airborne pesticides,essentially acting as walls around a property that prevent gusty winds from blowing pesticides into yards and gardens.

HOW COUPLES CAN BENEFIT FROM HIRING LOCAL WEDDING VENDORS:
Individuals who take great strides to conserve resources by reducing their energy consumption and protecting the environment often find that shopping local is beneficial. Local vendors are more likely to source their materials from other local businesses, reducing their carbon footprints along the way. For example, local caterers may rely on local farmers for their foods, affording couples the chance to host eco-friendly or even farm-to-table weddings.

Local Garbage Plate Modification - An Incredible Eyeopener
I gotta give a shout out to my local garbage plate spot! I get a garbage plate every day for lunch and the owner, Bill, of course knows I always get two white hots and a double burger plate. They ran out of burgers the other day and my stomach sunk with disappointment. But Bill said he'd heard this new idea; why not add fish sticks to the plate? They had plenty of fish sticks left and two of them with my white hots, meat sauce, baked beans, mac salad, and home fries did the trick. A great new meal idea and Bill is a top businessman!
Road Rage
PSA, if you’re finding yourself irate, road ragey or angry regularly on the road by inconvenient drivers or events, please seek some help for your stress management and some tools to get you to cope with life’s inconveniences and stresses. I started this rant with the intention to shame road ragers, but that really isn’t helpful for anyone. I just hope one person realizes it doesn’t have to be this way. I know it’s a sign of needing help and needing help is okay; admitting you need help and seeking help is truly courageous. Keeping calm while driving can keep yourself and others safe. On the road to work, and on the road of life, learning to find peace within ourselves and resilience while under stress is a gift we all deserve to give ourselves.
I Stay Left for a Reason
As per drivers who drive in the left lane and are “oblivious” about it; did you stop to think that they might have a good reason for so doing? I am one of those who has learned the hard way that when I follow the letter of the law and stay right, when my left turn approaches, no driver will let me merge to get over to where I need to be. For me it is an issue of safety and need. I am certainly not oblivious, but very much aware that most drivers today are not safe and courteous but selfish and lawbreakers (running red lights, tailgating, weaving around other vehicles, speeding, blowing their horns to pressure other drivers to do what they want rather than practicing patience and courtesy, and the list goes on.). I will continue to drive safely regardless of what others expect of me, and if that means staying left, so be it.

Five Ways To A Better Move
(NAPS)—The next time you’re among the estimated 40 million Americans a year who move into a new home, heeding these five hints can help you stress less: 1. Know what’s happening when. Make a list of everything you need to do and when you need to do it. It should include budgeting, decluttering, hiring movers, buying supplies, and updating medical and financial records.
HOW EVERYDAY PEOPLE CAN CUT ENERGY CONSUMPTION
Install a low-flow shower head. The U.S. Department of Energy recommends that eco-conscious consumers looking to reduce their energy consumption install lowflow shower heads with flow rates less than 2.5 gallons per minute. This is especially important for people living in homes with dated fixtures. Water fixtures installed before 1992 might have flow rates as high as 5.5 gallons per minute, which is both wasteful and costly. Test the flow of a shower head by placing a one-gallon bucket beneath a shower head running at the pressure you normally use. If the bucket fills up in less than 20 seconds, install a low-flow shower head.
REALIZE ENERGY SAVINGS WITH 1 SIMPLE STEP
A
project that will help keep your home comfortable is topping up your attic insulation. This easy project will reduce your household energy consumption and will save you money on monthly energy bills.
A poorly insulated attic is a primary source of energy loss, forcing your AC unit or furnace to work harder than necessary. Most attics are insulated, but many, especially those in older homes, are not insulated adequately enough. Over time, insulation can settle and compact, allowing heat to escape through gaps.
Topping it up is easy. Ideally, you want to aim for a depth of 16 inches of insulation for an overall R-value of 50. When existing insulation is present, simply level existing insulation to the top of the joist. Lay Roxul ComfortBatt on top of joists, running perpendicular to the first or existing layer of insulation. Ensure batts are butted against each other tightly. Fit batts closely to cross joists: cut batt if necessary (this can be done easily with a serrated blade or bread knife) and leave no space between layers. Don’t forget to insulate the attic hatch to the same level as the rest of the attic. Apply weather stripping to the edge of the hatch to reduce air leakage. Keep in mind that only IC-rated electrical fixtures can have insulation placed with zero clearance. Follow manufacturer’s instructions and local building code to insulate around the chimney.
Insulation begins working the moment it is installed and lasts throughout the life of the building, which means one easy DIY project can provide years of savings.
HOW EVERYDAY PEOPLE CAN CUT ENERGY CONSUMPTION
Start with your windows. The windows in a home can help homeowners and apartment dwellers reduce their heating and cooling costs. On cold days, pull back curtains so the natural sunlight can come in and warm the house, reducing the need to turn up the temperature on the thermostat. When the weather outside is especially warm, hang blackout curtains to prevent the hot sun from warming rooms and increasing the need for air conditioning. In addition, address any leaks around windows to ensure hot and cold air is not escaping and contributing to excessive energy consumption.
WINTERTIME CAN BE ‘SNOW’ MUCH FUN TO DISCOVER
Winter storms are on the way. While many people are anxious to see landscapes covered in white, others already are counting down the days to spring blooms. Weather can be awe-inspiring and interesting, and learning the secrets about snow is no exception.
Snow forms when water vapor in the atmosphere freezes into ice crystals. Snow falls as snowflakes, which come in a variety of shapes. However, according to Mental Floss, snow also can precipitate as graupel or sleet. Graupel are pellets of opaque ice particles that fall through freezing cloud droplets. They are not the same as sleet, which are drops of rain that freeze into small, translucent balls of ice.
Snowflakes are generally small and accumulate to form visible snow coverings. However, snowflakes can be large. The largest snowflake on record was reported to be 15 inches across and eight inches thick. According to “The Guinness Book of World Records,” this giant snowflake was discovered at Fort Keogh, Montana, on January 28, 1887.
Although it appears white, snow is actually clear and colorless. The National Snow and Ice Data Center says the complex structure and many facets of snow crystals results in visible light being reflected. Light is absorbed uniformly over the wavelengths of visible light, which gives snow its white appearance.
Eventhoughsnowismorecommoninnorthernelevationsandcoldregions, snowfall is not exclusive to frigid climates. In the United States, snow has fallen in cities most often associated with sun and warmth, such as San Diego, Miami and Hawaii. The southern Italy town of Capracotta received 100 inches of snow in 18 hours on March 5, 2015. In spite of its location, Capracotta has been known to receive enormous one-day snowfalls. While snow can fall even in warm climates, the world record holder for the most snow belongs to a northern area. Mt. Baker ski resort in Washington state experienced 1,140 inches in the 1998/1999 winter season.
Snow can fall at temperatures well above freezing. According to ScienceBits.com, snow can still fall at temperatures as warm as 46 F. For snow to fall when temperatures are warm, humidity has to be very low.
Even though there’s a common perception that no two snowflakes are alike, this isn’t completely accurate. A scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research found two identical snow crystals in 1988. Also, similar results have been produced in laboratories.
Snow is an interesting form of precipitation. It can be scarce or plentiful, and may feature tiny snowflakes or extremely large ones. Snow also may take on the color of its surrounding environment.

WEIGHING IN ON EXERCISE VS. DIETING FOR BETTER WEIGHT LOSS RESULTS
Statistics indicate more and more men, women and children are overweight or obese. The National Institutes of Health state that more than 35 percent of adults in the United States are obese and more than 34 percent are overweight, while 17 percent of children and adolescents in the United States are obese. Obesity rates are three times as high among today’s children than they were among youngsters just one generation ago.
As individuals attempt to lose weight, they may wonder what is the most effective way to accomplish that objective. Some argue that the secret to weight loss is lots of exercise, while others insist that calorie control is the key. When it comes to slimming down, some may be surprised by what the experts have to say.
The Mayo Clinic advises that cutting calories through dietary changes appears to promote weight loss more effectively than physical exercise alone. According to Shawn M. Talbott, Ph.D., a nutritional biochemist and former director of the University of Utah Nutrition Clinic, weight loss is about 75 percent diet and 25 percent exercise. People generally see the largest short-term results when they eat healthy foods and healthy portions.
Poor diets can be difficult to overcome, as it takes a lot of exercise to spur dramatic weight loss, whereas a low-calorie, healthy diet can be a simple and effective means to losing weight. Nutritionists often point to a balanced diet that focuses on fruits and vegetables, lean proteins and whole-grain carbohydrates over fad diets or ones that require the adherence to strict guidelines that are difficult to follow for lengthy periods of time.
But exercise should not be abandoned in favor of a low-calorie diet. Dr. YoniFreedhoff,whorunsoneofthelargestobesityclinicsinCanada,says that weight loss occurs from what’s created in the kitchen, but health is gained in the gym. Dr. Freedhoff often advises his clients to make smart changes to the foods they eat to spur weight loss, and then incorporate exercise into their lifestyles as a way to keep the body in top form. Regular physical exercise is necessary to maintain strong bones, build muscle, improve flexibility, and keep the cardiovascular system working efficiently. Exercise also releases endorphins, which can improve mental alertness and feelings of well-being.
The Mayo Clinic notes that studies have shown that people who lose weight and keep it off over the long haul are those who get regular physical activity.
When it comes to losing weight, the foods a person eats play a bigger role than exercise. But it is the combination of both diet and exercise that can lead to greater overall health and sustained weight loss.

DID YOU KNOW? Men and women often make an effort to lose weight before special events such as weddings or vacations. While many people do so in healthy ways, others take their weight loss efforts to the extreme. For example, many brides-to-be aspire to shed excess weight before their weddings so they can look as slim as possibly in their wedding gowns. The New York Times even reported in 2012 on a bride who spent eight days on a feeding tube to strictly limit calories so she could fit into her wedding dress. Such efforts are dangerous and could put individuals’ long-term health in serious jeopardy. Healthy weight loss for any occasion requires a long lead time, so that individuals can safely shed between one and two pounds per week with a healthy mix of diet and exercise, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Trimming between 500 and 1,000 calories per day from their diets can help individuals lose weight safely.
DEAR DR. ROACH: My mother and both of her sisters had breast cancer in their 30s, with my mother eventually passing after her third bout at age 43. They all grew up in the same house that I grew up in. I’m now a 34-year-old father of three small children. I don’t want to die early because I need to be around for them, but the generalized advice I’m seeing is that I don’t need a cancer screening until my 40s.
Am I overly sensitive, or am I missing something that I should potentially screen for? -- M.M.
ANSWER: With your mother and two aunts having breast cancer at such a young age, I would be concerned about an inheritable cancer gene such as BRCA1 and BRCA2. This gene may not have been identifiable at the time they had their cancers, as the first test became available in 1996. It is worth a discussion with a genetic counselor to consider testing for you. Men with the BRCA1/2 genetic mutations are at risk to develop breast cancer themselves and are recommended to do monthly breast self-examinations starting at age 35, with a clinician exam yearly. A PSA test is also recommended for men who are positive for BRCA2 (and maybe for men with BRCA1), as men with these mutations are more at risk for prostate cancer at a younger age than average-risk men.
Although BRCA increases the risk of colon cancer, all men should get colorectal cancer screenings at age 45, regardless of BRCA status. Those with a strong family history of colon cancer should speak with an expert about the right time to begin screening.
I honor you for considering your family and expect you are doing as much as you can with your lifestyle to keep yourself healthy. A diet including plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, with little to no processed meat, has been shown to reduce cancer risk as well as heart disease risk, which is still the major cause of death in industrial societies.
The most likely causes of death in men your age include motor vehicle accidents and suicide. These are not completely preventable, but driving safely, not texting while driving, never driving while intoxicated and seeking help with symptoms of depression go a long way at reducing your immediate risk so that you can continue to be there for your children.

What Expecting Parents Can Do To Make Their Homes Safer
• Conceal cables and cords. Cable and cord concealers are inexpensive and easily installed. Often used to cover cords hanging down from mounted televisions, concealers also can be used to hide cords coming from computers, lamps and other items that can pose a threat to young children.
• Avoid hand-me-down kids’ furniture. The older a piece of furniture is, the less likely it is that the item will meet current safety guidelines. Some parents may be tempted to let their children sleep in the same crib they slept in as kids decades ago, but it’s safer to eschew nostalgia in favor of products that meet the latest safety standards.
• Get rid of potential choking hazards. Prior to bringing their babies home, expecting parents can remove all small trinkets and other items that curious children may want to put in their mouths. When buying toys for kids, read the packaging to make sure each item is safe for babies and avoid buying or accepting any gifts with small pieces.
• Store all medicines on high shelves behind cabinet doors. Vitamins and medicines should be stored on high shelves behind cabinet doors. If kids can see them, they’ll likely try to grab them. Hiding medicines on high shelves behind closed cabinet doors reduces the risk that kids will be poisoned and suffer a fallrelated injury.
CLOTHING AND CANCER PREVENTION
Manypeoplechoosetheirclothes based largely on their own unique fashion sense. But the clothes people wear can serve a greater purpose than broadcasting their sense of style to the world. The Skin Cancer Foundation notes that clothing is the first line of defense against the sun’s harmful ultraviolet, or UV, rays. The right clothing can absorb and block UV radiation and the SCF recommends wearing such attire as part of an effective sun protection regimen. When purchasing clothing, consumers are urged to determine each article’s ultraviolet protection factor, or UPF. The UPF factor indicates what fraction of the sun’s UVA and UVB radiation can penetrate the fabric and reach the skin. Clothing with a UPF of 50 will only allow 1/50th of the sun’s UV radiation to reach the skin. The UPF rating system is relatively new, so consumers in North America may not find UPF ratings listed on the labels of clothing they typically purchase from their favorite retailers. In addition, the sun protective clothing industry in North America is self-regulated, which means some, but not all, manufacturers’ claims regarding the safety of their clothing may be dubious. However, consumers concerned about the safety of the clothing they wear when spending time in the sun can speak with dermatologists about finding clothing manufacturers with strong reputations of producing sun protective clothing that can protect them from the sun’s UV rays.
PAW’S CORNER
By Sam MazzottaEmotional Support Animals Are a
Lifelong ResponsibilityDEAR PAW’S CORNER: I am wondering how I can get an emotional support animal. I noticed a woman in the local pharmacy today whose dog wore a harness with “ESA” printed on it. Is there an organization that supplies these animals to people who need them? -- Curious in Daytona Beach
DEAR CURIOUS: You’ll nd many websites o ering ESA certi cations or advice on getting an ESA prescription from your doctor. But there is no single organization for ESAs, and there is not one group I know of that supplies them on request (certainly, none that I would recommend).
At this time, the way to “get” an emotional support animal is to adopt or purchase a pet. You are solely responsible for the care and training of this animal -- dog, cat, rabbit or bird. It’s part of your family. From there, you can designate your pet as an ESA by doing the following:
Ask your doctor or mental health professional for a letter stating that the presence of your pet is needed for your emotional health.
at’s it. at’s all that is needed to designate a pet as an ESA.
Now, keep in mind that an emotional support animal does not qualify for the same considerations as a service animal. While many stores allow ESAs on the premises (leashed and well-behaved), other businesses do not. Airlines will not accommodate them, for example.
e advantage of an ESA designation/prescription is in housing. Properties must waive pet restrictions and fees for owners of emotional support animals, under the Fair Housing Act.
e American Kennel Club has a more detailed article explaining the di erence between ESAs and service animals here: www.akc. org/expert-advice/news/everything-about-emotional-support-animals.

Leisure activities may be widely viewed as fun ways to fill up free time, but the benefits of leisure activities extend beyond beating boredom. A 2011 analysis published in the journal BBA Molecular Basis of Disease found that leisure activities have a positive impact on cognitive function and dementia.The analysis, conducted by researchers with the Aging Research Center in Stockholm who examined various studies regarding the relationship between certain activities and cognitive function, defined leisure activity as the voluntary use of free time for activities outside the home. After retirement, leisure time constitutes a large part of many retirees’ lives, and finding ways to fill that time is more beneficial than merely avoiding boredom. The researchers behind the study concluded that the existing research is insufficient to draw any firm conclusions regarding the effects of certain types of leisure activities on the risk for dementia and cognitive decline, though they did note that multi-domain cognitive training has the potential to improve cognitive function in healthy older adults and slow decline in affected individuals.
DID YOU KNOW?
A multi-domain approach to cognitive training involves memory, reasoning, problem-solving, and map reading, among other activities. Aging adults who embrace activities that require the use of such skills may find that they’re not only finding stimulating ways to fill their free time, but increasing their chances of long-term cognitive health as well.

SHARED HABITS OF ORGANIZED PEOPLE
The beginning of the year is an ideal time to get organized and set oneself up for productive months ahead. It’s also a good opportunity to take inventory of seldom-used items and clear out as much clutter as possible.
The amount of stuff the average person owns can affect how easy ordifficultitisforthatpersontoget organized. In 2014, professional organizer Regina Lark estimated the average American home contains 300,000 items. And it’s not just adults who love to collect and keep things, as kids contribute to the problem, too. British research, as published in The Telegraph, indicates the average 10-year-old owns 238 toys, playing with just 12 in a typical day.
All of these belongings contribute to disorganization and lost time. A study by Esure Home Insurance found looking for lost items accounts for 10 minutes of wasted time each day.
Getting organized can take perseverance, but it’s possible.

PURPLE PONY BLAZES A TRAIL FOR SPECIAL NEEDS IN LEROY
BY LORI BRUTON“ ere is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.”
~ Winston Churchill
Ahorse is a magni cent animal. Purple Pony is a magni cent therapeutic horsemanship program for those with special needs. It has been going strong for 18 years. Horseback riding at Purple Pony is exclusively for individuals with special needs. ey do not o er able-bodied riding. People as young as 4 years old up to adulthood can take part in riding. No one ever ages out.
I had the pleasure of speaking with the Board Chairman, Dan Kilker. I asked what inspired him to get involved with Purple Pony. He said, “I cared for my brother, who was blind. A er my brother passed away, I wanted to stay in the special needs community. It’s been a great ride.”
For children with sensory challenges, horseback riding can provide nearly every type of sensory input simultaneously. ese riders become one with the horse. ey experience the rhythmical clippity-clop of hooves, a horse’s whinny, uid movement, and the feel of the mane and saddle beneath them.
It’s a lot of work and also a lot of fun. Purple Pony is enhancing the lives of not only the riders but their families. e volunteers are ful lled seeing the di erence this organization is making. Everyone bene ts.
All the instructors are certi ed through the Professional Association of erapeutic Horsemanship International (PATH International). Purple Pony is the only program that is PATH certi ed and 100% volunteer. Currently, there are 70 active volunteers. ey are adding two more instructors.
ere is something about a horse that brings out happiness and makes you smile. A 60-year-old from a group home got to ride a horse for the rst time. A child with special needs who had not yet said a word, spoke his rst word while riding on a horse at Purple Pony. Parents smile while watching their children enjoy the ride.
High school students come out for educational meetings to learn about horses, horse anatomy, and how the program works. ey also take horses to schools for educational purposes and for visits at facilities such as LeRoy Village Green. eir presence in the community includes BOCES and special needs groups. ey have a oat in the parade and throw
e Sensory Trail is unique at Purple Pony. ey cleared an old railroad bed. It took three years to clear the area with the help of volunteer groups. Two Eagle Scout projects were done. e mounting ramp is a big hit with the riders. ey love being outdoors. Stations are set up for di erent senses like smell, sound, and touch. ey even hosted a group from South Korea that wanted to start a program like Purple Pony over there. ere is an exciting event coming up in June 2023 that baseball fans won’t want to miss: the rst pitch will be thrown out from horseback by a special needs rider at the Batavia Muck Dogs baseball game.
How can you help? Purple Pony is always looking for volunteers. is spring, they need to do work on the Sensory Trail. ey received a grant and need volunteers to come out in March and April to get it ready for the season. Donations are always appreciated as well. Mount up and see how you can get involved. Maybe you know someone who can bene t from this program.
ere is great information on their website. Be sure to

DID YOU KNOW?
Down syndrome is the most common chromosomal condition. People with Down syndrome may have mental impairment and a higher risk for various illnesses. While the public may be familiar with the hallmarks of Down syndrome,many people may not be aware that there are actually three different types of Down syndrome.
· Trisomy-21 (nondisjunction): This is the most common type of Down syndrome and is the result of an error in cell division called “nondisjunction.” The National Down Syndrome Society says nondisjunction results in an embryo with three copies of chromosome 21 instead of two.As the embryo develops,the extra chromosome is replicated in every cell of the body. This type of Down syndrome accounts for 95 percent of all cases.
· Mosaicism: This is diagnosed when there is a mixture of two types of cells, indicates the NDSS. Some contain the usual 46 chromosomes, while the others contain 47. The cells with 47 chromosomes contain an extra chromosome 21. Research indicates people with mosaicism have fewer characteristics of Down syndrome than those with other types, but this form is the least common, accounting for roughly 1 percent of all cases.
· Translocation: Accounting for 4 percent of cases of Down syndrome, translocation is marked by 46 chromosomes in all cells. However, an additional full or partial copy of chromosome 21 attaches to another chromosome, usually chromosome 14. The presence of the extra full or partial chromosome 21 causes the characteristics of Down syndrome, says the NDSS.
No matter which form is diagnosed, people with Down syndrome have an extra portion of chromosome 21 present in some shape or form. This extra genetic material alters normal development in the body.

SENIOR NEWS
By Matilda CharlesHaving a Pet Is Good for Us
e studies are clear: Owning a pet is good for us.
For those of us who stay home much of the time, having a pet can be a boon to our physical and mental health. Play with a cat, you get laughter and stress relief. Walk a dog, you get exercise. (And don’t forget the social aspect when you meet up with other dog owners along the way.) Blood sugar levels even out and blood pressure goes down, per the studies.
On the other hand, those studies were written before the pandemic. Now we nd that too many pet owners are having to relinquish their pets ... and those who would consider pet adoption are hesitant.
No matter how much we’d like to own a pet, there can be concerns that we need to consider before we adopt, and the big one is pet food.
In many areas, there have been di culties keeping our pets fed. Ask neighbors who have pets if they’ve had trouble getting pet food over the past two years. Sometimes the manufacturers haven’t kept up due to supply chain problems.
But there are options that might ease your worry. Learn about ordering pet food online and having it delivered to your door. It’s also possible that your local food bank keeps a supply of pet food on hand. Meals on Wheels o en delivers pet food. e animal shelter itself is sure to have a pet food bank. I searched for “free pet food pantries” near me and found dozens -- even a library and a church!
Take a look at Pets for the Elderly (petsfortheelderly.org), especially the stories about seniors who’ve adopted pets. ey work with 54 shelters in 32 states to help pet adopters over age 60.
If you still aren’t sure, consider becoming a foster parent to one or more pets. You’ll be able to try it out and see how the situation feels.

Wash & Wax Your Car
A thorough wash can remove harmful compounds that may cause damage when mixed with sand and road salt. Experts also recommend a coat of wax for an extra layer of protection from the elements. Besides protecting your car, you’ll also be protecting the environment. Professional car washes can save up to 20 percent of the amount of water you’d use by washing your car at home. They do this by treating and reusing their water, rather than releasing toxic chemicals and grime into the storm drains, which can often occur when you wash your car yourself.
WHAT SMALL BUSINESSES CAN DO TO ENGAGE THEIR COMMUNITIES
Dr. Robert B. Hayes January 13, 2023
Avon - Dr. Hayes died peacefully in his home on January 13, 2023 at age 90. He was a proud native of Rochester’s 19th Ward and alumnus of Our Lady of Good Counsel,Aquinas Institute ‘50, and the University of Rochester BA ‘54/MD ‘58. Known by many patients as “Doc Hayes” or “Dr. Bob,” he practiced Family Medicine in the community of Avon for nearly fty years. Most of that time was spent in partnership with his brother-in-law, Dr. Richard Collins. Dr. Collins often joked that he sent his sister, Polly, to the University of Rochester School of Nursing to recruit someone for the family practice. While practicing in Avon, Dr. Hayes was the School Physician for Avon Central and in recognition for this service was inducted into the Avon Athletic Hall of Fame in 2017.
Dr. Hayes practiced medicine in an era when home visits and evening o ce hours were the norm. He treated patients from birth through the end-of-life. He was known for his keen skills as a diagnostician, his calm and gentle demeanor, and the care and compassion that he demonstrated for every patient.
Always a team, Doc and Polly were strong participants in their faith and their community. ey were active members of St. Agnes Parish in Avon. All seven Hayes children graduated from St. Agnes School. ey also helped with the annual Avon St. Patrick’s Day Party that was held for many years. Doc was an Avon Rotary Paul Harris Fellow and a member of the Van Zandt Hose Company where he served as chaplain for many years.
More than anything else, Dr. Bob was dedicated to his family. He was a devoted son, brother, husband, father, and grandfather. He modeled how to value and care for your family. In return, his family adored him. None more than his dear Polly. e two ended each day by telling one another,“I love you with all my heart. Forever and ever. Amen.”
Dr. Hayes was predeceased by his son, Michael Hayes; parents, Basil and Helen (Eddy) Hayes; sisters, Frances (Robert) Campbell and Joan Chronis.Survived by his loving wife,Marcia “Polly”Hayes; sons,Stephen (Carol McCarthy),Timothy (Carole),John (Karen),and Robert (Allison) Hayes; daughters, Mary Beth (Michael) DiBacco and Maureen “Molly” Hayes (Stuart Baker); grandchildren, Catherine, William, Andrew, Patrick, Collin, Kathleen, Elizabeth, Hannah, Adara, Nora, Bridget, Caroline, and Joseph Hayes; Sarah, Michael, Emily DiBacco; Robert, Rory, and Caitie Baker.
Family and friends were invited to call ursday, January 19, 2023 from 1-3pm,6 - 8 pm at Stephenson - Dougherty Funeral Home,350 Genesee St,Avon,NY.Funeral Mass Friday,January 20,2023 at 11 am at St.Agnes Church, 96 Prospect St., Avon, NY.

THE BENEFITS OF PREPLANNING YOUR FUNERAL
Preplanning ensures your wishes are honored. Men and women who formalize their funeral plans will ensure their wishes are honored. That can give men and women peace of mind and will provide peace of mind to the loved ones they leave behind, who can attend funeral services knowing those services are being conducted in adherence to their loved one’s wishes. Even men and women who discuss their wishes for their funerals with loved ones may not have those wishes honored if they are not put in writing.

Goodwill is priceless. It can exist between individuals, such as neighbors and friends. A company needs the goodwill of those with whom the company does business. When goodwill exists, each party regards the other in a friendly way. Every action is assumed to be motivated by good intentions.
Goodwill is built gradually by a long series of transactions in an atmosphere of trust and friendship. A single act which betrays a confidence or takes an unfair advantage can shatter a relationship which has been built slowly over a long period.
We believe that a funeral ceremony should be a beautiful experience, helping the bereaved in their first step towards adjustment to their loss. Call us first.
4 REASONS TO TRAVEL MORE
In addition to eating healthier, exercising more and getting more sleep, many people resolve to travel more at the dawn of a new year.
Travel is much more than leaving one’s home. It’s about setting habits aside, escaping comfort zones and trying something different - and doing so in a different location.
In its latest World Tourism Barometer, the United Nations World Tourism Organization found that 1.184 billion tourists traveled outside their countries’ borders for at least one night in 2015. Europe, Asia, the Pacific, andtheAmericasallrecordedarounda5percentincreaseininternational arrivals that year. Europe was particularly popular, perhaps hedged by a weaker euro against the American dollar and other currencies. The U.S. Travel Association says that direct spending by resident and international travelers in America averaged $2.7 billion a day.
Millennialsmaybeleadingthetravel-enamoredpack.TheUnitedNations estimates that 20 percent of all international tourists, or nearly 200 million travelers, are young people, and that the millennial demographic generates more than $180 billion in annual tourism revenue. The U.N. also reports that millennials are more interested than older generations in traveling abroad as much as possible.
Infrequenttravelersorthosewhohavenevertraveledmaynotunderstand why heading to parts unknown is so appealing to so many people. The following are just a handful of reasons why travel is so enticing.
1. Engage the mind. Staying mentally active over the course of a lifetime promotes long-term health. Navigating unfamiliar places or reading a foreign language while sitting in an international country can engage the brain and get synapses firing. The Mayo Clinic reports that higher cognitive activity endows the brain with a greater ability to fend off brain pathologies, such as disease and dementias.
2. Connect with new people. Travel opens a person up to not only new experiences, but also new people. English poet John Donne penned the famous line, “No man is an island,” which underscores the importance of having friends and making new acquaintances. Research conducted by the University of Michigan found the act of talking with people in a friendly way can improve a person’s memory, suppress external and internal distractions, and encourage people to see things from another person’s perspective. It doesn’t hurt to broaden one’s social network, either.
3. Build confidence. Leaving one’s comfort zone can be a great way to bolster one’s self-esteem. Navigating cultural boundaries and overcoming those boundaries may be initially intimidating, but doing so can make a person more confident and more adaptable to change.
4. Develop opinions. Until a person visits a place in person, he or she only has third-party information to form opinions. Visiting a city or country for the first time can offer a more complete perspective.
Travel gives people the chance to rest, explore, meet new friends, and make lasting memories.
“Goodwill is earned by many acts; it can be lost by one…”

NOW HERE’S A TIP
By JoAnn Derson* Make ice cubes out of punch when you are entertaining. I like to make different combinations, which can be adapted for adult and child parties. One that I like very much is to make ice cubes from red fruit punch and then float them in lemonade. As the cubes melt, the mixture turns pinkyorange. -- I.F. in Missouri
* Bring egg whites to room temperature before whipping. You will get better volume, and they will be more stable.

* Ever make a delicious dinner that involves some stinky ingredients? This happens when I make broccoli cauliflower casserole, or pork and sauerkraut. No worries; you don’t have to smell that smell all day. Just simmer a pan of vinegar on the stove while making foods that are odorous. The vinegar smell goes away quickly, taking with it any other odors. All that’s left is the smell of yummy. -- M.N. in South Carolina
* Wash bath towels in cold water. It preserves color and still cleans them well. Add a clean, dry bath towel to smaller dryer loads to speed up drying time.
* Turn down the maximum temperature on your family’s water heater. You will do two things: One is to avoid accidental scalding, which is especially important if you have young children or seniors in your house. The other is to lower your electric bill, because the water heater will not have to work as hard to keep that big tank of water so hot. -- T.D. in New Mexico
* Keep a few bandanas handy in cold weather. They can be used as a mouth/face cover to keep your nose from freezing. They are easy to store in a pocket, and easy to put on and remove.
THE RIGHT WAY TO LEAVE A JOB
It can be tempting to slack off when another job awaits. The popular job-hunting site Monster.com says it can be human nature to do less when long-term accountability is removed. However, you never know when you might need a referral or even a new job. Leaving a bitter taste in the mouth of your employer at the end of your work history can put a black mark on your employee record.

NETWORKING STRATEGIES FOR THE DIGITAL AGE
Get out of the house. Digital age networking is not limited to digital connections. Meetup.com encourages like-minded men and women to get together with real people in real life, using the internet to facilitate such connections. Men and women who sign up can use Meetup.com to connect with local professionals in their industries, attend industryspecific events and even establish their own meetup groups. A medium such as Meetup.com is great for individuals of all ages, but it might be especially valuable to established professionals looking to combine digital age networking with the more traditional networking they’re accustomed to.

DID YOU KNOW?
Retirement can seem like it will never come for young professionals. But time can be a sieve, and retirement age can arrive in the blink of an eye. Young adults who have not planned accordingly for retirement can find themselves in financial straits at a point in their lives when they want to kick back and enjoy themselves. Financial experts from Money, CNN and The Motley Fool advise that financially solvent people should begin saving aggressively for their retirements early on. Ideally people should start saving in their 20s when they first leave school and begin their careers. The sooner one saves, the more time money has to grow. Vanguard says that the person who saves $4,500 per year over a career spanning 45 years can reach a goal of having more than $1 million in savings by the time he or she retires. Compounding interest and investment matches from employers can further secure professionals’ financial futures.
