Penny Saver

My name is Kaley. I will be 3 years old next month. After I came home, from a breeder in Florida, my mom & dad found out from Cornell that I was born with 3 abnormally large bones at the base of my spine. I will be on pain medication for the rest of my life. But, I give my mom and dad all the love in the world.

BREAKING

DOWN THE LEPRECHAUN MYTH

Now widely depicted as tiny, bearded and mischievous men clad in coats and hats, leprechauns have been traced to ancient Ireland. The precise etymology of the word “leprechaun” is unknown, though many scholars believe the word we use today is derived from the old Irish “Lú Chorpain,” which means “small body.” Some scholars point to the 8th century word “luchorpán,” meaning “sprite” or “pygmy,” as the origins of the word leprechaun. Another word, “lubrican,” which first appeared in the English language in a 1604 play written by Thomas Middleton and Thomas Dekker, also has been linked to the modern word leprechaun.

We’re Featured and So Are You!

Dear readers, we’re excited to announce that we’re launching a new company name

Why the new name?

Since 1948 the Genesee Valley Penny Saver has been serving communities by bringing readers and local organizations and businesses together. Your faithful readership has allowed us to grow from our Avon, New York roots to becoming a trusted resource for residents in the greater Western New York and Finger Lakes region. Over the years people have come to know us simply as “ e Penny Saver.”

is has been a blessing, but we’ve also outgrown this name in many respects. Our customers are consistently surprised that besides print advertising, we also o er almost any type of marketing service a local business could need: commercial printing, promotional/branding products, direct mail and we’ve recently added a full-service digital marketing agency along with a vibrant video and photography skillset- all under one roof. We hope with the new name we’ll have the opportunity to share our services more with the local business community, and you too!

What digital services do we provide now?

You name it: website design and hosting, Google SEO/ SEM, Programmatic Display Ads, Social Media marketing and management, email marketing, and OTT/OTC to name a few. Don’t know what those are? No worries, that’s what we’re here for.

What does the new name mean for readers?

Nothing! We’re still owned and operated by the same family that started the company in 1948. Both second and third generation family members work in the organization together along with a sta of just over 100 employees.

While our list of services is growing, we’re committed to the Penny Saver’s success just as much now as we have been at any time over the last 75 years.

What’s in it for me and my business?

We hope you’ll explore all the services we provide to help you grow and tell your story to the community. Our mission has always been to “reach” your customers in a variety of ways and while technology is constantly changing, our commitment to getting your message out is not.

So now what?

Please continue to read our publication and shop locally! Doing business with your neighbors helps keep dollars in the local economy and supports good paying jobs. For businesses – check out our new website at featuredmedia.com. Our Genesee Valley Penny Saver content is also always available at gvpennysaver.com.

Once again, we’re very grateful for your support and we look forward to serving you for many years to come.

President Joe Biden’s initiative, aimed at providing targeted debt relief to millions of student-loan borrowers, is now before the Supreme Court. Opponents to the program say it amounts to an unlawful attempt to erase an estimated $430 billion of federal student loan debt under the guise of the pandemic. What side do you fall on regarding student loan forgiveness?

12.5% The effects of the pandemic are still being felt by many Americans and I agree that loan forgiveness needs to happen.

75.0% Students borrowed this money expecting to pay it back and should.

12.5% Loan forgiveness is a noble idea but shouldn’t we fix the system first?

DESIGN A GARDEN FOR ALL SENSES

The lively sounds of the garden are created by the wildlife that come to pollinate and enjoy the environment gardeners have created. By choosing indigenous plants, gardeners can be sure that insects and small critters will seek refuge within the foliage.

Songbirds also will add character to a yard. The Audubon Society suggests including a water source and a songbird border of shrubs along your property’s edge. Provide food sources and make sure they are located a fair distance from the main action of the yard so as not to scare off birds. Wait for musical chickadees, goldfinches, orioles, and cardinals to arrive and enjoy the accommodations.

GET ON THE FAST TRACK TO BEING ORGANIZED

• Keep a cleanup bin handy. Put an empty basket in a central location, using it to gather stray items scattered around main living areas. Once everything has been collected, items can be returned to their rightful place.

• Make the bed. One of the easiest ways to keep a room looking neat is to make the bed each day. Store clean linens in a pillow case so the entire set is together and ready to go.

• Purge closets and cabinets. There’s no point allowing old, stained or damaged items to take up space. Set aside days to clear expired medication from the bathroom cabinet, discard ripped or ill-fitting clothing from the closet, or to dispose of broken toys in a nursery.

• Write things down. Tasks seem more manageable when they are written down in black-and-white and can be crossed off as completed. Writing things down also helps make the mind feel more organized.

• Exercise caution before buying. Don’t buy more than you need; otherwise, you’ll have to find space for extra items. Also, keep inventory of food and supplies in the house so you’re not unwittingly buying duplicates.

• Sort mail and paperwork. Establish different categories for papers so they can be sorted and discarded as needed. These may include bills, invitations, school papers, and junk mail. Reduce paper clutter by opting for digital correspondence when possible.

• Make one repair at a time. Tackle that source of stress by focusing on one repair and seeing it through to completion.

• Delegate the work. If kids want to help organize, let them. It can be a fun project for an adolescent to rearrange the pantry or offer their ideas for corralling messes.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Recreational Tianeptine Has Potential for Abuse

DEAR DR. ROACH: I’ve been hearing about tianeptine being sold at gas stations. Is it really dangerous? -- S.F.

ANSWER: Like so many substances, tianeptine can be a useful drug when prescribed and taken correctly (it’s used in several countries for depression), but it is indeed dangerous when used recreationally. Its use has been banned in several (unfortunately not all) states across the U.S. It is sold (yes, especially at gas stations) as a dietary supplement. Because it acts on the same receptor as morphine, when used at high doses far beyond the medically approved dose, it has potential for abuse and even overdose, with a handful of deaths ascribed to its use.

I recommend in the strongest possible terms against its recreational use and hope it is completely banned soon.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have severe pain in my right shoulder. I have seen two orthopedists and received X-rays, MRI scans and a cortisone injection, which didn’t work. Both surgeons recommended a shoulder replacement. I am taking three adult aspirins each morning (I am allergic to NSAIDs), which makes the pain go away. Is this safe? I am 83 and otherwise healthy. -- J.B.

ANSWER: Aspirin is a type of non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug and has the toxicities common to all the drugs in that group, including an increased risk for bleeding and potential damage to the stomach and kidneys. But it has additional toxicities beyond NSAIDs like ibuprofen, especially at higher levels. I am very cautious about prescribing aspirin and generally prefer other anti-inflammatory medicines. However, people have long taken aspirin -- sometimes at much higher doses -- usually without problems. The fact that you are taking it only once a day reduces the toxicity, but I have to say I am surprised the benefit is lasting all day. The risk of toxicity is higher at older ages. At 83, you are at a significantly higher risk (seven times the risk) than younger people. Most of the data on exactly what your risk is comes from people taking low-dose aspirin (81 mg, not the 975 mg you are taking), so I can’t give you an evidence-based answer. But, for men in their 80s taking low-dose aspirin, about 1.5% will have a serious bleeding event per year. Your risk will be significantly higher due to the much-larger dose you are taking. However, one has to consider both the benefits of the aspirin treatment (the pain being gone is the best possible outcome) and the toxicity of other possible treatments, such as surgery (which is very significant).

There are many classes of NSAIDs, with very different chemical properties, and it is likely there is another type of NSAID you could safely take, with a lower risk than the dose of aspirin you are currently on. On the other hand, you can’t get any better effectiveness, at least in terms of pain, and the absolute risk is still fairly small, so I’m not sure I recommend you change. I am always very cautious about recommending surgery to someone in their 80s when there is an effective medication available to treat the issue.

Quality Sleep

To help you feel your best and sleep more soundly, try the following tips: Take a shower – About 90 minutes before bedtime, take a hot bath or shower. This will help to reduce muscle tension & accelerate sleep onset. Create an electronics curfew – The blue light from your favorite electronic devices interrupts your ability to relax and fall asleep. Don’t use your smartphone, tablet and other digital devices for one hour before bed. Stretch to relax – Stretching for 10-15 minutes before bed will help reduce muscle tension. Turn down noises and do some gentle stretches to relax the muscles and mind.

Set a wake-up schedule – Try to wake up at the same time each morning, even on the weekends. This will help keep your internal clock ticking correctly so you can fall asleep more quickly and sleep deeply. Embrace natural light – About 15 minutes of sunlight each morning will help reset your circadian rhythm so you can rise more naturally and then sleep better in the evenings.

UNIQUE WAYS TO REDUCE CANCER RISK EVERY DAY

Quit when you hear the click at the gas station. The Air Pollution Control District of Santa Barbara County in California notes that gasoline vapors include a variety of toxic substances, including benzene. Benzene is an air pollutant that adversely affects the central nervous system, the respiratory tract and the immune system. Modern automobiles now click when the gas tank is full and it’s vital that drivers avoid adding any more gas after they hear that click. Drivers may be accustomed to topping off after the click, but doing so can affect the vapor recovery system in a car. That system is designed to keep toxic chemicals like benzene out of the air. Topping off can needlessly expose drivers and their passengers to benzene, which the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services considers a carcinogen, or cancer-causing chemical.

International Day of Mathematics

3.14.23

(Also National Pi Day)

It has a name

The symbol for division (÷) has a name, and it is called an obelus.

Four = 4

‘Four’ is the only number in the English language with the same number of letters as the number itself.

100 is 120

The word ‘hundred’ comes from the old Norse term, ‘hundrath’, which means 120!

Test your addition and subtraction knowledge by completing the pyramids. Go from bottom to top by using addition. Make sure you’re using 2 circles next to each other for adding and put your answer in the next circle above those 2 numbers. Sometimes you might need to start at the top. You may have the answer and 1 part of the problem. In that case, you will need to use subtraction to figure out that missing part of the equation. (See the first pyramid for an example.)

Math helps us understand the world Mathematics is not just numbers; it is the art of solving problems around us. In fact, the real-life applications of mathematics are endless.

Who is the father of mathematics?

Archimedes is considered the father of mathematics because of his notable inventions in science and math.

Missing springtime is like missing a woman. You never really noticed her and then she was gone, and all that she was returns and makes the separation even more painful.

I think I read this somewhere. “Springtimeisthelandawakening. The March winds are the morning yawn.”

~Lewis Grizzard (1946–1994), “Covering the arrival of spring”

I hear the sparrow’s ditty

Anear my study door;

A simple song of gladness

That winter days are o’er; My heart is singing with him, I love him more and more.... Oh, Spring is surely coming, Her couriers fill the air; Each morn are new arrivals, Each night her ways prepare; I scent her fragrant garments, Her foot is on the stair.

~John Burroughs (1837–1921), “A March Glee,” c.1902

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

* Among the many reuses for plastic newspaper bags: Put soiled diapers in before putting in a trash can. Use to pick up after your pet on a walk. Fill with grocery store plastic bags for storage. Keep a few to store wet swimsuits in after a trip to the beach or pool.

* Before removing a splinter, ice the area. Less fussing and a wooden splinter might absorb some liquid, causing it to swell enough to pop out a bit more.

* Recycling paper is good, but reusing before recycling is even better. Ask your child’s classroom teacher if he or she has a “both sides” policy for lined papers. Also, copy paper that’s printed on only one side can be quartered for quick scratch paper.

* Trying to spot roof damage but not quite sure you’re up for climbing a ladder? Before you get up on the roof, get out your binoculars. You’d be surprised how much you can see from the ground, and you can do a cursory examination and then decide if anything needs a closer look.

* Cut kitchen sponges into smaller pieces. They clean as well as a larger sponge, and you can dispose of the smaller pieces when they get yucky. -- O.C. in Michigan

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

Pet Sitting Can Be More an a Side Job

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I was recently laid o from my job as a programmer, and have been thinking about taking a new career direction. I’m tired of being stuck in an o ce all day. And I love being around pets. But is it really possible to make a good living working as a dog walker or a pet sitter? -- Barry J., Cambridge, Massachusetts

DEAR BARRY: I know more than a few people who are full-time pet sitters and dog walkers. Most have their own business, while a few are employees of pet care companies. As you can imagine, the pay rates vary widely from person to person. ZipRecruiter reports that the average hourly wage, nationally, for pet sitters is about $19.23.

I think it’s great that you’re considering a career change. But I recommend testing out the world of pet sitting rst. Consider working part time for a pet-sitting company. Even better, if you know someone who does dog walking, ask to accompany them for one day to see what their job entails. Find out what the pitfalls of this business may be, and what makes it fun to do. Finally, o er to pet sit for a friend who’s going out of town for a day or two to get direct experience and really see if it’s something that you’d like to do full time.

TIPS FOR COMFORTABLE CAMPING

Invest in quality gear - In addition to the tent, campers will need a tarp/ground cover to place under the tent. This helps prevent moisture seepage from the soil. Next, determine how everyone will sleep, whether on the ground or in cots. Cots can be the most comfortable options, but they take up a lot of space and can be heavy to transport - which is less than ideal when backpacking to a campsite. Inflatable mattresses or sleeping pads can be used in conjunction with sleeping bags to provide a soft, cushioned surface. Some are affordable at $40 while others may cost as much as $300. Costlier options may be best for frequent campers.

* Need sliced mushrooms for your salad or recipe? They are hard to cut, but you might have a perfect tool for doing the job already in your kitchen. If you have an egg slicer, get it out. It works very well for mushrooms, and it’s easier to use than trying to cut those slices yourself. -- J.R. in Utah

Next, visit the Small Business Administration’s website (www. sba.gov) and check out its Learning Center section, which has several micro-courses that teach how to start up and run a small business. Being able to combine core business skills with a love for and dedication to pets is a great platform to start on. Best of luck.

SENIOR NEWS

Funeral Planning: Don’t Be Rushed

One life event we don’t want to think about having to do for a loved one is planning a funeral. But sometimes we must, and it can be stressful and loaded with the potential to be scammed in some way.

A small amount of help is coming. e Federal Trade Commission wants online funeral pricing. And it makes sense. When you need to organize a funeral, emotions are running high. You won’t be at your best when it comes to thinking about pricing and services.

Back in 1984, the FTC created the Funeral Rule, but it only requires funeral homes to show lists of the prices of caskets and any outer burial containers, such as a grave liner. And it was only required that a potential customer be given those prices in person, certainly not by phone. To make it worse, funeral homes only had to show pictures or the item itself a er the prices were disclosed.

By then, of course, you were at the funeral home, unhappy and sad and stressed. e last thing you wanted to do is treat it like a car purchase and shop around. So you signed the paperwork on the spot, possibly paid too much and maybe didn’t get the items and services you wanted.

ere are a few ways to ensure that your vulnerability at that time isn’t exploited.

Before you leave the house to organize a funeral, go online to check local funeral home websites. ey might be among the very few to actually post pricing and services.

Take someone with you.

Get the price list (in writing) of what the funeral home o ers.

Before you sign any paperwork, contact the Funeral Consumers Alliance (funerals.org) and get their advice. ere’s a group in every state. On their website, click on “Consumers” and scroll down to “Don’t Know Where To Begin? Start Here.”

Remember: Take your time.

HOFFMAN SCULPTURE RECEIVES WARM WELCOME FROM THE FLOWER CITY AT DRYDEN THEATRE

BY JODY GREER

Last year when the George Eastman Museum unveiled the bronze, life-sized sculpture of Fairport native and famed actor Philip Seymour Ho man in May, its future in Rochester was unclear. e sculpture was cra ed by David Annand and commissioned by lm producer James Declan Tobin with funding provided by the Sumner Roy Kates Charitable Trust.

Originally, the sculpture was to reside at e Eastman Museum for a certain amount of time, then make its journey to New York City. Ho man was a graduate of NYU Tisch School of the Arts and was a well-known inhabitant of New York’s West Village. Many of Ho man’s movies were lmed in New York City as well, so Tobin initially felt New York was the appropriate location to memorialize the actor’s spirit. A er further discussions between James Declan Tobin and Bruce Barnes, Director at Eastman Museum, however, the Museum board recently voted unanimously to retain the sculpture in Rochester permanently.

e sculpture has since received an overwhelming response from the community and is now considered a point of pride for all Rochesterians. It was an easy decision to make according to Ho man’s mother, Marilyn O’Connor, who says, “We had a wonderful response from the community. e response was so positive, the question was, why is it not staying here? It belongs here, he’s from here. A lot of people hug him and take sel es with the sculpture. I walk by and say, ‘Hi Phil” on my way to the Dryden.”

Although creating a sculpture wasn’t the rst idea Tobin had in mind when it came to keeping the legacy of Ho man alive. He established two scholarships in Ho man’s name at his alma mater, NYU. However, a er viewing artist David Annand’s work, it was only a matter of time before Tobin conceptualized a bust of Ho man, began the six-yearlong project. O’Connor adds, “David Annand made a bust, then he entered it into a European competition and won and everyone was thrilled, so it became about how would we add the body to this. It was sort of one step at a time, then came the unveiling and David called it the high point of his career. It was his rst sculpture in the United States.”

Ho man, who passed in 2014, was an Academy Award winner for his compelling work in Capote (2005) and acted in over 50 lms throughout his career. Ho man is arguably one of the most celebrated actors of his time.

With the sculpture project, Ho man was essentially brought home to where his roots began, and where he rst considered acting as a profession. It’s a poignant and emotional tribute for Ho man’s family and all who enjoyed his artistry. Tobin considers Ho man one of the single greatest actors of his generation, which O’Connor feels attered to hear. She says, “It’s a wonderful compliment and it’s a good thought, but I think Phil would have just laughed because he knew and respected other actors. I don’t think he would have accepted the mantle so easily.”

e Eastman Museum is known worldwide as the world’s oldest photography museum, housing collections in elds of photography and cinema as well as cinematic technology. ey are world-renowned leaders and experts in lm preservation. While Eastman may not be the originally intended site, few argue there’s a more appropriate location for the sculpture and for bringing Ho man home at last.

Barnes says the Eastman Museum board is grateful for the opportunity to keep the sculpture permanently in Rochester, NY. He says, “ e George Eastman Museum is thrilled to be able to honor Philip Seymour Ho man and his contributions to cinema by having this wonderful sculpture of him near the entrance to our Dryden eatre.”

is year in honor of Ho man’s legacy, the Dryden eatre will host twenty-four of Ho man’s lms as part of a year-long series. e series, which kicked o in January, will feature many of Ho man’s most memorable lms, a touching tribute for the decorated actor who called the Flower City home.

HOMETOWN

RAVES

Kindness!

While leaving my SUV to enter Tops in Avon on March 3rd, a young man was coming out with a large bouquet of flowers. I said, “Oh, flowers for me? You shouldn’t have.” We both laughed and went on our ways. When I came out, my daughter (who had waited in the car) had a bouquet of flowers on her lap. She said the man came over, said he was a Christian, and God wanted him to give the flowers to me and he would go back in and get more for his wife. My daughter said thank you and my mom will cry, which I did. What he did not know was that our family had a very difficult week. I will think of his kindness each time I look at these flowers and when the time is right will do the same for someone else. They say bad people are taking over our world, but I continue to believe that the good ones are all over; we just don’t hear as much about them. Many thanks to this kind man.

HONESTY & KINDNESS OF LIVING IN SMALL TOWN!

I can't express my gratitude and thanks enough to the volunteers and the two Amish women who spent 2 hours in the freezing cold February 25th helping me look for the money i dropped in the parking lot of the Church Thrift shop in Livonia. Your assistance and kindness will not be forgotten. It meant more than you will ever know.

A HUGE THANK YOU

To the individual(s) who paid for our dinner on January 19th at the Finger Lakes Public House. Our family had just come from my niece’s mother’s funeral. We just want you to know, from the bottom of our hearts, that your thoughtfulness did not go unnoticed. We want to say a huge thank you, and to let everyone know that there are still wonderful and caring individuals out there.

TECHNICALLY HANDICAPPED

My rant is to open the eyes of the masses to the technically handicapped. I am one of them. At 68 years of age I fall in the gap of no major training of computers, smart phones, etc. I am also on a fixed income and can’t afford all the gadgets nor the price of the Internet. When I need help for things that have to be done online. I have to hire someone to do so. Every shop, restaurant, government, and medical office has some form, deal or discount that is only online. Having no cell phone, computer to access these deals, or forms, etc. Life for myself with technology is extremely frustrating! I only ask that businesses and the government, etc. stop discriminating against my handicap as they do for the physically handicapped, waiting just a while longer until demanding things be only assessed online until every generation is technically taught at a young age. Yes, I have taken classes available at libraries. I also do not want a government issued phone. Do others agree?

LIFE'S SHORT - WHY WASTE IT CRITICIZING OTHERS?

Life is short. Why do people aleays have to criticize each other for choices they make? We each only have one life to live. Just because someone does things differently than you would doesn't mean you should chastise them for it!

ICE AND SNOW, TAKE IT SLOW

When we get a snowstorm in Western NY, why do people all of a sudden become race car drivers who cut each other off and make people slam on their brakes, maneuvering precariously in the icy snow?! Ice and snow, take it slow.

Champion Asphalt Maintenance is now accepting applications for employment for our season starting in April.

THE RIGHT WAY TO UPDATE A RÉSUMÉ

Put your own voice in the résumé. Rather than using standard verbiage on your résumé, personalize what you want to say. Hiring managers want to hire a human, not a machine. When speaking about yourself, be sure to use strong action words that define your skills even further. HR professionals cite terms like “managed,” “achieved” and “improved” as examples of positive, assertive words.
