TIPS FOR REALIZING GOALS IN THE YEAR AHEAD Keep track of your progress. Keep a resolutions journal or start a blog that allows you to write about your efforts. If your goal is to pay down debt, make a spreadsheet that tracks your progress.

That spreadsheet might be more motivational than simply seeing a loan or credit card balance gradually reduce on your monthly statement. Writing about your trials and errors can help others and also provide a great way for you to explore your approach and tinker with it to ensure your ultimate success.

What to do after an auto accident

calls Auto We doinservice LeRoy! Satisfaction!

The insurance experts at GEICO® advise individuals involved in an accident to first determine if any of the involved parties suffered an injury. If you are injured, stay put. If not, check on the condition of the other driver. At this point do not admit any fault or reveal any policy limits.

Next, make a call to emergency services to request assistance from the police and an ambulance, if necessary.

The goal of owner, Jamie Merica, is your complete satisfaction!

Gather evidence Have the police write up an accident report. You should take pictures of the damage to your vehicle, the other vehicle, if possible, and the scene of the accident, including any skid marks, debris and/or property damage. If there are any witnesses to the accident, get their names and contact information. You'll need this information when filing an insurance claim.

Exchange information Collect the names, phone numbers, addresses and email addresses of other drivers and vehicle occupants and exchange insurance information with all drivers involved. That includes the insurance company name, policy number and the name of the insured.

If possible, pull the vehicle over to a safe, well-lit public location.

This is especially important if you believe you were the victim of a staged accident, says the Insurance Information Institute. If the car will cause another road hazard, it is best to move it over to the side and use flashers to alert oncoming traffic. It is important that you don't leave the scene, according to American Property Casualty Insurance Association.

768-7959

Notify a friend or family member Even if the accident is not serious, you may want to call a friend or family member to provide emotional support. If you've been injured, a friend or family member can meet you at the hospital and/or arrange to have your vehicle towed or returned home while you get the care you need.

Automotive accidents can be nerve-wracking. Knowing the steps to take can alleviate some stress. SC233728

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

Aggressive Dogs Keep Owner Away From the Dog Park

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel * On Jan. 15, 1870, the first recorded use of a donkey to represent the Democratic Party appears in Harper’s Weekly, drawn by political illustrator Thomas Nast. Four years later, Nash originated the use of an elephant to symbolize the Republican Party in a Harper’s Weekly cartoon. * On Jan. 16, 1938, Benny Goodman brings jazz to Carnegie Hall, a notion so outlandish at the time that Goodman himself initially laughed off the idea. The concert at the citadel of American high culture sold out weeks in advance. * On Jan. 17, 1950, 11 men steal more than $2 million ($22 million today) from the Brink’s Armored Car depot in Boston. It was the perfect crime --almost -- as the culprits weren’t caught until January 1956, just days before the statute of limitations for the theft expired.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I’ve had to change the time of day that I visit the local dog park, because a new neighbor brings his two huge, aggressive dogs each morning at the same time as I do. They charge other humans, chase and snarl at other dogs, and make it impossible for other dogs to socialize calmly. The neighbor does nothing to control them and tells other owners that it’s their fault that his dogs are acting aggressive. To prevent injury to my dog (or myself), I now wait until after work to go.

But this is inconvenient for everyone in the neighborhood. How do I address this problem? -- Dog Mom in New York DEAR DOG MOM: You’re doing the right thing by changing the time that you bring your dog to the park. It’s important to remove a dog from a situation you perceive as potentially dangerous or traumatic for them, and protecting them from harm.

That’s only the first step, however. The new dogs are terrorizing other dogs within the park, making life miserable for them and their owners. It’s not fair, nor is it right.

Dog parks within a city or town typically have rules of conduct posted at each entrance, but sometimes they’re vague. It’s up to each owner to properly train and socialize their dogs, and to keep them away from the park if they can’t control rough play, aggression or reactivity.

Report the problem to the organization in charge of maintaining the dog park. This may be a community group or the municipal parks department. Contacting animal control is another option. Write down the dates and times that incidents have occurred. If there is no active community group for the dog park, consider starting one so that owners can air their grievances and work out problems as a group.

BRAIN-HEALTHY HABITS TO EMBRACE Cognitive decline is a condition that is often associated with aging, but even middle-aged people can experience memory loss or cognition issues.

The Alzheimer’s Association says that more than five million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. By 2050, that number could rise to as high as 16 million people. More than 747,000 Canadians are living with Alzheimer’s or another dementia, says the Canadian Alzheimer’s Association.

Although there is no definitive way to prevent dementia, living a long, vibrant life may be possible by encouraging some healthy habits for the brain. It is never too late or too early to begin health and lifestyle changes.

Exercise: Becoming more active can improve brain volume, reduce risk for dementia and improve thinking and memory skills. The journal Neurology found that older people who vigorously exercise performed better on cognitive tests than others of the same age, placing them at the equivalent of 10 years younger. Increased blood flow that occurs with physical activity may help generate new neurons in the hippocampus, an area of the brain involved with learning and memory.

The Harvard Medical School says aerobic exercise may help improve brain tissue by improving blood flow and reducing the chances of injury to the brain from cholesterol buildup in blood vessels.

Quit smoking: The Alzheimer’s Association indicates that evidence shows smoking increases the risk of cognitive decline. Smoking can impair blood flow to the brain and cause small strokes that may damage blood vessels.

Eat healthy foods: Foods that are good for the heart and blood vessels also are good for the brain. These include fresh fruits and vegetables, GENESEE VALLEY PENNY SAVER ● GVPENNYSAVER.COM 1-866-812-8111

whole grains, fish-based proteins, unsaturated fats, and foods containing omega-3 fatty acids. Neurologists state that, while research on diet and cognitive function is limited, diets, such as Mediterranean and Mediterranean-DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension), may contribute to a lower risk of cognitive issues.

Consume caffeine: Caffeine may help boost memory performance and brain health. A Journal of Nutrition study found people ages 70 and older who consumed more caffeine scored better on tests of mental function than those who consumed less caffeine. Caffeine may help improve attention span, cognitive function and feelings of well-being. Information from Psychology Today also indicates caffeine may help in the storage of dopamine, which can reduce feelings of depression and anxiety. In addition, compounds in cocoa and coffee beans may improve vascular health and help repair cellular damage due to high antioxidant levels.

Work the brain: Engaging in mentally stimulating activities can create new brain connections and more backup circuits, states Dr. Joel Salinas, a neurologist at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital. Working the brain through puzzles, reading and participating in social situations can stimulate the release of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a molecule essential for repairing brain cells and creating connections between them.

A good way to combine these lifestyle factors is to take an exercise class with friends, mixing the social, stimulation and exercise recommendations together.

Cognitive decline can come with aging, but through healthy habits, people can reduce their risk of memory loss and dementia.

DID YOU KNOW? A landmark study conducted by researchers in the United Kingdom discovered a notable link between low to moderate alcohol consumption and breast cancer risk. According to the Million Women Study, every 10 grams (roughly 0.35 ounces) of alcohol a woman consumed per day was associated with a 12 percent increase in her risk for breast cancer. The Million Women Study focused on various areas of women’s health but included 28,000 women who had breast cancer. In addition, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism notes that more than 100 epidemiologic studies have examined a potential association between alcohol consumption and the risk for breast cancer, consistently finding that risk for the disease increases as alcohol intake increases.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Hot Flashes Persist Well Past Menopause and Thyroidectomy

--DEAR DR. ROACH: I am 81 and had a thyroidectomy in 2017.

My whole thyroid gland was removed. I also had a little bit of cancer.

I have started to get hot flashes again. I had originally been on thyroid medicine before and after surgery. Then I was put on levothyroxine and decided to try NP Thyroid. I was doing better on NP Thyroid, then started getting the hot flashes again. At this point, for several reasons, I would rather stay on NP Thyroid for the time being.

I was wondering if there is anything I can take for hot flashes?

Years ago, in my 50s, I took estrogen, which helped, but this is a different time. I have spoken with other people who are also having hot flashes again. -- Anon.

ANSWER: Hot flashes are common -- about 75% of women in North America will experience them around the time of menopause. It’s not uncommon for hot flashes to go away, then return, but I personally haven’t seen them recur after 30 or so years. I’d be concerned that there may be another cause for them, which brings me to your thyroid.

Elevated levels of thyroid hormone can cause sensations very similar to hot flashes. One reason that I, along with most endocrinologists, recommend against products like NP Thyroid is because most of those products come from pigs. There are two thyroid hormones: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).

Humans have a different ratio of T3 and T4 than pigs do, with T4 getting converted into the active form, T3. T3 is then quickly broken down, so if it’s used, it needs to be dosed twice daily.

As a result, if a person takes NP Thyroid, their thyroid levels are too high during one part of the day and too low during another.

This isn’t good for anyone; the “high times” not only cause hot flashes, but also predispose people to atrial fibrillation. But it’s particularly a problem in a person with a history of thyroid cancer, where we want the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH, the hormone in the pituitary gland that regulates the activity of the thyroid gland) to be on the lower side.

If the thyroid blood levels get low in the afternoon/evening when the T3 in NP Thyroid is gone, that can theoretically increase the risk of cancer recurrence as the TSH rises in response. So, in my opinion, you should be on levothyroxine, not NP Thyroid. (I do have a handful of patients who take levothyroxine and also take T3 twice daily. Some people are unable to convert T4 to T3 efficiently.)

Estrogen is the most effective treatment for hot flashes, but it increases the risk of heart disease when used by women more than 10 years away from menopause. I don’t normally prescribe it to a woman in her 80s. However, there is a new medication called fezolinetant (Veozah), which is highly effective and reduced hot flashes by 93% in a trial. My only patient on it so far has reported 100% cessation of her hot flashes.

There are other rare causes of hot flashes, including tumors that secrete substances, such as carcinoid tumors, and tumors that secrete adrenalin-like hormones (pheochromocytomas).

AVOIDING FOODS WITH HIDDEN SUGARS Sugar is the number one cause of tooth decay. Even if you try to avoid sugar, you may be eating more than you realize because sugar is hidden in many of our seemingly healthy food products. Foods with natural sugars that don’t taste sweet, like milk, can trick you into ingesting more sugar than you planned. Foods with low sugar on the label—like chips, crackers, and bread—are carbohydrates that begin converting to sugar as soon as they enter your mouth. Products labeled with “no added sugar,” like some juices, are still loaded with natural sugars that harm your teeth.

Approach condiments, sauces, and salad dressings with caution: these are some of our most common sources of hidden sugars.

diet is a fundamental defense against tooth decay, the same as diligent brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings are. We also believe our skilled and dedicated dental team is one of our greatest assets here at 6 Batavia City Centre, where our high standards of quality and integrity sincerely motivate us to achieve the best results for our family of patients.

If it’s been awhile since your last visit, why not call for an appointment today at 585.343.4246. We accept most insurances.

P.S. Many bottled condiments, sauces, and salad dressings can be made easily at home, without the sugar, for a fraction of the price of the store-bought version.

RECOGNIZE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS HOUSEHOLD CHEMICALS All-purpose cleaners: Many cleaners list bleach and ammonia among their ingredients. Bleach may be listed as sodium hypochlorite.

When used as directed in a well-ventilated space, bleach and ammonia can be relatively safe. However, fumes from bleach or ammonia can cause rashes and skin irritation and irritate the eyes and respiratory tract. Bleach and ammonia should never be mixed because mixing the two can produce a deadly chloramine gas.

Vinegar and baking soda can be used as a replacement for many household cleaning products, and these alternatives have virtually no dangerous side effects.

Riga Recreation Christmas Happenings Kudos to Mr. Erik Reinhart and his Varsity Vocals singing group from the Churchville-Chili High School Music Department for putting on our annual Christmas Concert at the Raymond C. Adams Cobblestone Hall to ring in the Holiday Season.

Additional Kudos to Riga’s Secret Santa and his elves...Ryan, Matt, Sue and “Winston The Wonder Dog” as they sleighed the roads of Riga searching for uniquely decorated homes in order to present them with gift certificates purchased from local businesses.

Homeowners were SO surprised by Santa’s early arrival.

Merry Christmas to All and to All a Good Night.

Gratitude Finland has been rated the world’s most “happiest” country. Connection with nature, community and simplicity are three of the major factors cited as to the Finnish quality of life. However, there is an over-riding factor that they’ve learned that stands out for them and perhaps for us - gratitude.

To quote: “The Nordic countries are united in their embrace of curbed aspirations for the best possible life.

This mentality is famously captured in the Law of Jante -- a set of commandments believed to capture something essential about the Nordic disposition,” he explains. They include: “You’re not to think you are anything special” and “You’re not to imagine yourself better than we are.” Which, as Savolainen points out, is pretty much the opposite of America’s endless pursuit of personal and national exceptionalism. This is a great time of year to take stock of what we all have and be grateful. Amen.

[Local Paid Newspaper] Delivery Service I’ve been a subscriber to [local paid newspaper] for 70 plus years. Our new delivery person refuses to drop my paper off at the back of my short drive on the ramp so I can easily pick it up. I’ve posted a sign at my drive asking them to do this to no avail.

They drop it in the gutter and if it rains it gets wet and if it snows the plow takes it away. Am I only person in [local town] to have this problem and is there anything that can be done to help? I’m 96 years old!

Fake service animals (dogs) Stop with all these fake service dogs! And stop bringing those fakes into the stores... it’s dirty!

They stink. If you have these dogs around people, bathe them please. Don’t just spray them. Dirty and air freshener/perfume doesn’t mix well. The dirty is still there.

Seems like any Dr will write off for a *pet.

And you can purchase vests online. It’s become too much because you get away with it.

THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF DAIRY Heart health benefits: Some people avoid dairy because of perceptions that it is bad for cardiac health. A report presented at the 2018 Congress of the European Society of Cardiology that looked at 20 studies involving around 25,000 people found no association between the consumption of most dairy products (including whole fat varieties) and cardiovascular disease. The only exception was milk, but the results showed one would have to drink almost a liter of milk a day for a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. Still, the American Heart Association recommends adults choose fat-free or low-fat dairy products whenever possible. Also, a 2018 study published in the British Journal of Nutrition found men who ate plenty of fermented dairy products like yogurt and cheese had a smaller risk of coronary artery disease than men who ate less.

GREEN WAYS TO CLEAN UP SNOW Although residents of chilly climates come to expect the flakes and gathering snow mounds, some people never quite get used to the cleanup involved in keeping neighborhoods safe and accessible.

In M arch 2014, North America w as covered by the third-highest amount of snow that late in the season since record keeping began in 1966, according to NOAA’s U.S. National Ice Center. Snow can begin in September and October in some northern areas and stretch on until early spring. It pays to learn the best w ays to deal w ith snow and to incorporate some environmentally friendly strategies as w ell.

The most eco-friendly w ay to remove snow is to w ait until the spring thaw w hen it’ll melt. Unfortunately that is not practical for most people.

Here’s a Tip * If you lose a contact lens, you can try turning off the lights and using a flashlight held perpendicular to the floor. They sort of reflect the light, and as you move the beam of light across the floor, it will flash. This has helped me many times. I am a little clumsy when I put my contacts in. Thanks! -- R.E. in South Carolina * Great diet control tip: When serving dinner, portion out the meal, then pack up the leftovers right away. You won’t be as tempted to go back and have seconds, nor stuff a few more mouthfuls in when cleaning up later. * I have a medicine that I take with every meal. Surprisingly, it’s difficult to remember whether I took it already when I’m eating on the go or out with friends. I keep small containers in my purse labeled “lunch” and “dinner,” each with one pill inside. Before I eat, I look in the container. If a pill is there, it means I forgot to take it. Then I refill the container when I get home and it’s ready for next time. (c) 2024 King Features Synd., Inc.

Research shows that an appropriate exercise program can improve your muscle strength and flexibility as you age. Progressive resistance training, where muscles are exercised against resistance that gets more difficult as strength improves, has been shown to help prevent frailty.

Your bones want you to exercise. Osteoporosis, or weak bones, affects more than half of Americans over the age of 54. Exercises that keep you on your feet, like walking, jogging or dancing, and exercises using resistance such as weight lifting, can improve bone strength or reduce bone loss.

Terry’s Two Decades of Dedication: A Glimpse into Wild Wings, Inc. and the Passion for Nature

BY SUZIE WELLS

N

estled on the edge of Mendon Ponds Park, Wild Wings Inc. stands as a beacon of hope for injured and non-releasable birds of prey. With both the iconic bird of prey facility and the Mendon Ponds Park Nature Center, this not-for-profit organization has an incredible team of volunteers and staff helping make a profound impact on the community. At its helm is Terry, Executive Director, whose dedication to wildlife and nature has spanned two decades.

Terry’s journey with Wild Wings began 20 years ago, driven by a shared passion for animals and “my son and I wanted to volunteer with animals because of our interest in birds.” Originally from Irondequoit, now residing in Henrietta, Terry’s connection to the community has deepened over the years, committed to connecting people with the natural world to help foster a greater appreciation for it.

Terry emphasizes the crucial role Wild Wings plays in wildlife conservation, reflecting that, “The animals at Wild Wings would be euthanized due to their injuries if not placed at an organization like Wild Wings. We are able to care for them, give them a second chance at life, and educate the public about their species and the environment.”

With around 40 dedicated volunteers, Wild Wings thrives on the support of its community. Daily operations involve the feeding and cleaning of animals and their enclosures, coupled with ongoing facility maintenance. The tireless efforts of volunteers ensure that the organization fulfills its mission.

For Terry, every day at Wild Wings brings new adventures.

The eclectic mix of caring for animals, providing educational programs, and the dynamic nature of the work keeps him engaged. Terry’s favorite moments are those spent educating the public, especially children, witnessing the joy on their faces as they encounter animals up close.

Addressing common questions from the public, Terry underscores the importance of understanding an animal’s story. Each resident at Wild Wings has a tale of injury, whether from a car collision or gunshot wound.

These creatures, permanently injured and non-releasable, live out their lives as educational ambassadors, offering invaluable lessons about the resilience of wildlife.

“Seeing the curiosity and interest sparked in them is rewarding, and hopefully, it ignites a lifelong passion for learning about nature,” Terry shares, emphasizing the transformative power of firsthand wildlife encounters.

However, the journey is not without its challenges. Wild Wings operates without funding from Monroe County, relying on public support through donations, fundraisers, and fees for special events.

The financial sustainability of the organization is an ongoing concern, requiring constant effort and community involvement.

Wild Wings’ impact on the community is profound.

The organization, true to its mission, does not charge admission, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to learn about nature. Visitors often contribute either monetarily or by donating items from the organization’s wish list, contributing to the continuous care of the animals.

Spreading the word about the organization is equally vital, as Terry notes that some visitors to the park may not be aware of the facility.

Terry encourages a hands-off approach to wild animals unless they are injured. Seeking help from licensed wildlife rehabbers ensures the best chance of successful rehabilitation and release. Terry’s hope is that everyone develops a greater appreciation for animals and the environment, fostering a culture of respect for wildlife and the natural world.

As Wild Wings continues to evolve, Terry remains at the forefront, steering the organization towards greater heights. Terry’s two decades of unwavering commitment stand as a testament to the transformative power of education, compassion, and community involvement in the realm of wildlife conservation. Through Wild Wings, Terry continues to inspire generations to come, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of environmental education and preservation.

“We typically host 300+ programs each year, ranging from school visits to special events like owl prowls and bat walks. These programs not only raise awareness but also generate funds crucial for the wellbeing of our animals,” Terry explains.

DID YOU KNOW? According to Mental Health America, individuals’ reactions to the death of a loved one can elicit unique emotions linked to their relationship to the deceased. For example, MHA, a community-based nonprofit focused on promoting mental health, notes that a child’s death could inspire different feelings than the loss of an elderly spouse. When parents lose a child, that death may arouse a sense of injustice that can overwhelm the child’s parents as they contemplate lost potential, unfulfilled dreams and, in certain instances, the child’s suffering. Elderly individuals who lose a spouse may be overcome by feelings of loneliness. Recognition of these different reactions is important because it can help individuals and their support networks more effectively cope with their grief.

“Amusement is the happiness of those who cannot think...” ~ Alexander Pope Although Pope was an English poet who lived during the early 1700s, his thought about amusement is extremely pertinent today, almost three centuries later. In fact, it may well be one of the eternal truths of all times.

It is only natural that we like to be amused from time to time, particularly after hard work has earned us a little relief.

However, there are too many people for whom being amused is a way of life. If these people would give themselves a chance to think, they might find a far greater satisfaction.

We can provide a dignified and comforting funeral service at a price within the means of any family. The decision on price is always made by the family we serve.

General eulogy preparation tips: * Eulogies are for the living, and for everyone at a remembrance service. * Be brief. People listen for three to five minutes. After five minutes, people stop listening. * Do a bit of research. Talk to others. What are some childhood memories? Was there a favorite lesson learned? Was there a favorite quote or an inspiring song? What was the deceased like at work? What were some favorite accomplishments? * Write out the eulogy. Even if you are an experienced speaker, during the emotional time of a rememberance service it is especially easy to wander. * Write and speak from the heart. Be yourself. * Practice the eulogy. Time it. Rehearse in front of an audience (one or two people). Listen to their feedback. Edit. Practice again. * Have a back-up plan. In case you are unable to begin or finish, have someone else prepared to deliver the eulogy for you.
