nurses figures to grow in the years to come.According to the U.S. Bureau

expected to retire by 2022. Couple that with an existing nursing shortage, and the BLS projects a need for 1.1 million registered nurses in the near future. A shortage also figures to affect Canada, where the Canadian Nurses Association recently estimated that the country would be forced to confront a nursing shortage of roughly 60,000 nurses by 2022. Various factors are contributing to the nursing shortage in both countries, including an increasingly large aging population that will require more and more nurses to meet its health care needs. In the United States, the Affordable Care Act, which was passed in 2010, increased access to health care for millions of people across the country, thereby creating a greater need for nurses and other health care professionals. In addition, a greater emphasis on preventive care in many countries across the globe figures to compel more people to visit their physicians even when they’re otherwise feeling healthy. As more people prioritize preventive care, the need for more nurses will likely increase.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF HONEY

Soothes sore throat: Taking a tablespoon of honey to relieve itchy, dry throats and coughs can be effective. In a study published in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, it was determined that honey could be just as effective at stemming cough as the popular medicine dextromethorphan.

CARE FOR TOOLS

PROPERLY

Homeowners often choose to save money and learn valuable skills by doing their own home improvement projects. These minor or major renovations are made much more successful by having the right tools for the job. Investing in good tools can be smart, but those tools are only effective if they are accessible and in good repair. Homeowners who emphasize taking care of their tools can make DIY projects that much easier and more rewarding.

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

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

Emotional Support Animals

Are a Lifelong Responsibility

DEAR 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.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Family History of Breast Cancer Prompts Man to Get Examined

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.

CHEWING GUM TO PREVENT CAVITIES

When it comes to dental health, saliva is your best friend (after brushing and flossing, of course). Saliva provides a host of benefits to your mouth and teeth: it neutralizes decay-causing acids, washes away food and debris, fights disease, and increases calcium and phosphate, both of which help build tooth enamel. Chewing sugarless gum for twenty minutes after meals is a clinically proven way to increase the flow of saliva, improve mouth health, and decrease the risk of tooth decay. Gums labeled with the ADA seal are always sugar free, so look for their symbol when you shop. While chewing gum that contains sugar will also increase the flow of saliva, the bacteria produced by the sugar creates decay-causing acids.

Many people are not aware of the important role saliva plays in

oral health. Or that a simple pack of gum can work wonders towards achieving optimum oral hygiene

. At BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL, we pride ourselves in knowing the ways we can help keep your teeth and gums, and therefore your entire body, healthy and strong. Enjoy the feeling of a fresh, clean, healthy mouth – call 585.343.4246 for an appointment at 6 Batavia City Centre. We’ll help you keep your teeth and gums in the best shape possible. We’ll give you a reason to smile!

P.S. Sugarless gum is sweetened by substances such as stevia, xylitol, sorbitol, mannitol, or aspartame.

Toys for Tots

The Memorial Day Detachment #468, Marine Corps League would like to thank everyone who donated toys or money to the 2022 Toys for Tots campaign. Your generous donations allowed us to provide over 2,100 children over 6,400 toys through our participating agencies. Many children who would otherwise not have received a new toy for Christmas were able to have a Merry Christmas because of our partnerships with the participating agencies who worked with us to make sure that as many children as possible were given the opportunity to open presents containing new toys on Christmas morning. Every child deserves a little Christmas and your generosity allowed those children to have a merry one. Thank you.

Awesome Hats off to Karen Uhl, owner of Wadsworth Grill. She is always helping people out, giving her heart and soul to friends and the community. Thanks, Karen!

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!

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.

SENIOR NEWS

By Matilda Charles

Having 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.

TIPS FOR REALIZING GOALS IN THE YEAR AHEAD

Make your goals public. By publicly declaring your intention to improve your life, you’re putting some positive pressure on yourself to fully commit to your goal. Friends and loved ones can be great sources of support, and once they’re aware of your efforts, you likely won’t want to let them down. Once you have decided on a resolution, post your short-term and long-term goals to your Facebook page or let your immediate family and closest friends know of your goals in person. Their encouragement can help you stay on track, and they may even offer to help you realize your goals.

Shopping for an assisted living facility

Check on licensing. In the United States, each state has its own licensing requirements for assisted living facilities. Confirm a facility is licensed and that it meets the expectations of the local regulatory agency. In addition, check with the Better Business Bureau to see if any complaints have been filed against the home.

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.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

How to pack a suitcase: Roll pants and tops, adding to suitcase first, toward the handle side. Then add heavy items (shoes, boots) toward the wheel end. Make sure you choose the right size case for the trip; too much room will cause items to shift around.

MAKE THE YEAR AHEAD CLUTTER-FREE

Many people feel the dawn of a new year provides an opportunity to clean the slate and begin anew. That notion can be applied in various ways, including around the house.

Cleaning the slate at home may involve reducing clutter around the house. Clutter can gradually overtake a home’s interior, turning a once pristine home into one overwhelmed with nonessential items. As intimidating as clutter can seem, discarding it is easier than it may appear.

“Goodwill is earned by many acts; it can be lost by one…”

GET A HANDLE ON WORK-RELATED STRESS

Work-related stress is an all too common problem in workplaces across the globe. According to the American Institute of Stress, 80 percent of workers report feeling stress on the job. Perhaps most troubling, nearly half of those people admit they need help in learning how to manage their stress.

The American Psychological Association notes that stressful workenvironmentscancontribute to a host of physical problems, including headache, sleep disturbances and short temper.

Chronic stress can produce more serious consequences such as high blood pressure while also weakening sufferers’ immune systems. Stress at the workplace also can make it difficult to concentrate, which in turn can compromise workers’ abilities to perform at the peak of their abilities. That supports the notion that stress is a problem for both employees and employers. As a result, finding ways to reduce that stress should be a team effort.

Getting a handle on stress can be difficult. Since so many people trace their stress to the jobs they need to get by, they might think it’s impossible to address that stress without derailing their careers. But there are a handful of ways for professionals to get a handle on their stress without negatively affecting their careers.

Negotiating raises can be nervewracking. But men and women should not hesitate to ask for compensation commensurate with their experience.

George Santos has admitted that he lied about much of his personal history and resume in order to get elected to Congress. What are your thoughts on embellishments/lies in order to obtain a job?

• Everybody does it and I’m fine with it.

• It is wrong, but do what you need to do to get ahead.

• It is absolutely wrong under any circumstance.

HOW TO NEGOTIATE (AND GET) A SALARY INCREASE

Don’t share why you want the raise. When discussing a potential raise, keep it about business and avoid personal reasons. You’re more likely to get the raise if you keep personal reasons (i.e. bills piling up, school expenses, family vacations) out of the mix. Maintain your professionalism during the discussion. Otherwise, you may risk losing your boss’s respect.

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.

Puzzle Answers This Week

WORDS ASSOCIATED WITH HAIR COLOR

My name is Alice Bean. Let me tell you why I am the luckiest cat alive. After being dropped off in a very unfamiliar place by previous owners, I was left to fend for myself. I strolled up to a house that gave me food, but they also reached out to help me find shelter. I ended up at a home that let’s just say, once you’re here you most likely don’t leave. I am perfectly content hanging out here with 2 cat sisters, cat brother and my humans.
