Plan when to hold the sale by looking at the calendar and choosing an open weekend. Many people host their yard sales on Friday, Saturday or Sunday mornings, theorizing that this is when the most people will be free to browse their wares.
Begin early in the morning so that shoppers will not need to disrupt their schedules much to visit neighborhood sales. A 7 a.m. start time will attract the early birds and free up most of the day.

DID YOU KNOW? According to the National Autism Association, autism is a bio-neurological developmental disability that affects the normal development of the brain in various areas. Those areas include social interaction, communication skills and cognitive function.Autism generally appears before a child reaches his or her third birthday, and the NAA notes it is diagnosed four times as often in boys than it is in girls. Roughly 40 percent of children with autism do not speak, but parents whose children speak between the ages of 12 and 18 months should know that such youngsters can still ultimately be diagnosed with autism. In such instances,the NAA notes that children lose the words they previously learned.Incidences of autism appear to be on the rise,though the reasons for that remain unclear. According to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the prevalence of autism had risen to one in every 59 children by 2018.That’s twice as great as the rate in 2004, when the CDC reported one in 125 children were diagnosed with autism.
CELEBRATE ENERGY STAR DAY - EVERY DAY
(NAPSI)—Every Fall, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) celebrates ENERGY STAR Day to raise awareness about the benefits of saving energy today, tomorrow, and for good. The typical household spends about $2,000 a year on energy bills. American consumers interested in saving money on their utility bills can look for the blue ENERGY STAR label to identify products—in categories such as electronics, appliances, smart thermostats, and lighting-that have been independently certified to use less energy. According to the EPA, outfitting your home with these products could save you 30 percent—or about $575—on your household energy bills, while avoiding more than 5,500 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. Utilities, product manufacturers, and retailers around the country join the celebration and offer special deals that help make energy efficiency accessible and affordable for everyone. In some communities, manufacturers of ENERGY STAR certified light bulbs work with electric utilities to provide low-cost LED bulbs at major discount and DIY retailers. For more information visit www.energystar.gov/SaveForGood. Since 1992, ENERGY STAR and its partners have helped American families and businesses save nearly 4 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity and achieve over 3 billion metric tons of greenhouse gas reductions.

Do you have HEEL pain or ARCH pain?
HEEL SPUR SYNDROME/PLANTAR FASCIITIS
is a common problem among people who are active. It starts as a dull intermittent pain in the heel and progresses to a sharp persistent pain. Classically, it is worse in the morning with the first few steps, after sitting, after standing or after walking.
• Plantar fasciitis often begins with irritation and tearing of the fibrous band of tissue on the bottom of the foot, which may eventually result in the formation of a heel spur.
• 95% of our patients’ symptoms are resolved with conservative treatment, avoiding surgical intervention.
• We also offer surgical procedures with the best post op success rates using Endoscopic Plantar Fasciotomy techniques (minimal incisions and scarring; often back in a shoe in 1 week).

Taking Preventative Measures Against Sun Exposure Is Essential
DEAR DR. ROACH: I have a question about suntanning. First off, I want to say that I get yearly skin cancer checks, love the sun, and hardly ever use suntan lotion. I monitor my time outside, so as not to get a sunburn. I see warnings about certain days being high ultraviolet (UV) days. Are they talking about UVA or UVB, and which one gives you a tan? -- S.K.
ANSWER: You’re not going to like my answer, because all types of UV light exposure, whether they lead to a sunburn or suntan, cause damage to the skin and lead to an increased risk of skin cancer. A tan from sunlight leads to a small degree of protection against further UV light damage, but there is still ongoing skin damage with UV light exposure. Even people with very dark skin are susceptible to skin cancer, although their risk is a lot less than others. UVA light is more constant throughout the year and penetrates deeper into the skin. UVB light is stronger near the equator, at higher altitudes, and closer to the summer solstice. The UV index reported by the National Weather Service considers both UVA and UVB light in its calculations, as well as the time of year, altitude, and cloud cover.
Both UVA and UVB light cause the skin to tan, but tanning from UVA light alone (for example, in a tanning machine) doesn’t provide any protection from the sun. So, while I am at least glad that you aren’t exposing yourself enough to get burned, I don’t agree with being out in the sun to get tanned. I do recommend the liberal use of a sunscreen with protection against both UVA and UVB. It needs to be used in a large-enough quantity to provide protection -- approximately an ounce for an average-sized body, plus another teaspoon for the face and neck. I recommend a high-SPF sunscreen (30 or more). I buy mineral sunscreens such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide for myself and my family. Finally, sunscreen needs to be reapplied regularly, especially when exercising or swimming.

NATURAL WAYS TO FIGHT FALL ALLERGIES
Stay away from pollen. Stay away from pollen and prevent it from being tracked indoors. Remove shoes when walking through the door. Take off clothes worn outside and launder them promptly, showering to wash pollen off of the body. Use an air conditioner or keep windows closed when the pollen count is high.
DEALING WITH A DIASTEMA
Staying out of the sun, wearing sun-protective clothing, and wearing sunscreen will not only help you avoid cancer, but also help you avoid problems that I see in my older patients, who did what you did when they were young. Now they have thinned skin that bleeds easily, as well as “age spots” and other signs of skin damage from the sun, including wrinkles.
A diastema is a gap between teeth that most notably occurs between the two front teeth. Some people are genetically predisposed, but a diastema can also be caused by missing teeth, smaller teeth, a problem with the tissue between the lips and gums, and an abnormal swallowing reflex. Diastemas usually don’t cause oral health or dental issues, but your dentist may recommend treatments to fill larger gaps that can affect chewing and bite. Diastema gaps can be closed with orthodontics that bring the teeth closer together. In some cases, an implant may be recommended to fill an empty space. Porcelain veneers can be applied to widen teeth and close smaller gaps. Dental bonding also works well to close smaller gaps.
At BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL, improving the look, health, and function of your smile is our
primary focus. From cosmetic dentistry to general family dentistry to preventive care, we are dedicated to working with our patients toward the goal of achieving the healthiest, most attractive smiles possible. Are you curious how today’s dental procedures can virtually change your life? We’d be glad to tell you about the many ways we can help make your smile a dazzling one, from closing up gaps to teeth whitening. Just call us at, 585.343.4246, 6 Batavia City Centre.
P.S. Diastemas are common in herbivores like sheep, rabbits, and beavers. The gap helps them move food to the cheeks, so they can eat more efficiently.

1/4 cup fine, dry breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons plain yogurt
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon fine kosher or sea salt
Cumin Yogurt Sauce
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Toppings
2 large red onions, thickly sliced
2 large beefsteak tomatoes, thickly sliced
4 seeded hamburger buns
Olive oil, for brushing
Kosher or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 cup shredded lettuce
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Prepare a medium-hot fire in your grill.
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, yogurt,turmeric,coriander,cumin, and salt until well-blended. Form into four 3/4-inch-thick patties.
For the cumin yogurt sauce, combine the cumin and yogurt together in a bowl until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Grill the tomatoes for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Turn the burgers once after 7 to 8 minutes, then grill for another 7 to 8 minutes, or until the burgers are no longer pink inside and an instant-read thermometer registers 160 F in the center of each patty.
Grill the onions for about 8 to 9 minutes, turning once halfway through the cooking time, or until softened and slightly charred. During the last minutes of grilling, toast the buns, cut side down, directly over the fire.
To serve, place a patty on each bun. Top with a slice of grilled onion, tomato and 1/4 cup of lettuce mixture and a dollop of yogurt sauce. Serve the extra grilled onion and tomato slices on the side.

According to the ASPCA, the number of dogs and cats euthanized in United States animal shelters has declined significantly since 2011. The ASPCA reports that approximately 1.5 million shelter animals are euthanized each year. That number is high, but it marks an improvement over 2011, when roughly 2.6 million dogs and cats were euthanized. The ASPCA credits part of this decline in euthanizations to an increase in animal adoptions and greater success at returning stray animals to their owners.Recent data indicates that roughly 3.2 million shelter animals are adopted each year, with a 50/50 split between dogs and cats. A greater emphasis on adoption can help reduce euthanization statistics even further.
Fine kosher or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Prepare a hot fire in your grill.
Toss the beans with olive oil and place in a perforated grill basket or wok set on a baking sheet.
For the Lemon Verbena Pesto, combine the lemon verbena, garlic, cheese, and nuts in a food processor and pulse to puree. Slowly add the olive oil with the processor running until the mixture thickens and emulsifies, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper. The pesto will keep in the refrigerator for 7 to 10 days, or it may be frozen for up to 3 months.
Place the grill wok or basket directly over the fire and stir-grill, tossing the beans with wooden paddles or grill spatulas until crisp-tender, about 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer the grilled beans to a large bowl and toss with about 1/4 cup of the Lemon Verbena Pesto or to taste.

SOME OF WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON IN THE RACE FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY APPEARS TO BE IMPROPER; SOME PUBLISHED INFORMATION IS INCORRECT; SOME OF THE DRASTIC ATTACKS & CLAIMS AGAINST DISTRICT ATTORNEY MCMCCAFFREY DID NOT INCLUDE THE **WHOLE** TRUTH; THE PUBLIC HAS BEEN MISLED THERE NEEDS TO BE CLARIFICATION THAT DISTRICT ATTORNEYS ARE ABSOLUTELY PROHIBITED FROM PARTICIPATING IN POLITICAL ACTIVITIES (EXCEPT DURING A YEAR THEY ARE UP FOR RE-ELECTION)
INTRODUCTION
Given what has been going on throughout the past months, I could no longer sit back and watch. In some ways, this is almost an UNFORGIVABLE TRAVESTY.
My first contact with law enforcement started 55 years ago, when I was a member of a Law Enforcement Explorer post operated by the Livingston County Sheriff ’s Office. A er high school I earned criminal justice degrees from Monroe Community College and the Rochester Institute of Technology. During my college years I was a part-time deputy sheriff for Livingston County. As soon as I graduated from college, I entered Albany Law School. I graduated in 1980 and was admitted to the Bar in February of 1981. I was in private practice in civil law. In January 1982 the late, then-District Attorney, later County Court Judge eodore Wiggins appointed me as assistant district attorney for Livingston. I served for ten years until illness forced me to leave.
DISTRICT ATTORNEYS PROHIBITED FROM ENGAGING IN ANY POLITICAL OR LEGISLATIVE ACTIVITY (EXCEPT DURING YEAR OF RE-ELECTION)
I have seen various comments on Facebook and elsewhere from people talking about whether, for District Attorney, they are going to vote Blue or Red. Or similar declarations, including those who might never vote for a candidate of one party or other.
District Attorneys and Judges are about the only public officials who, by LAW, ARE PROHIBITED FROM PARTICIPATING IN GOVERNMENT WHERE VOTES ARE TAKEN. Village Boards, Town Boards, City offices and County Supervisors are the opposite. It is THESE offices that automatically are subject to political party influence, if desired. A Town Board might have before it a major matter. If the board’s composition is 3 Democrats and 1 Republican, you can figure what will happen. When the big drive gets going the following year, and the four members are 2 and 2, the Town Supervisor can cast the tie-breaking vote. His or her political party is interesting. We are hearing many times a day, even without asking, about the polls at the national level. What will be the count of Republicans versus Democrats in the Senate. We hear plenty.
e District Attorney is the opposite. He or she does not participate where political party can make a difference. A DA stands by himself. So do judges. us, in this election for DA, if a candidate shows to be a member of a political party, your vote will do nothing to change affect Democrat or Republican.
A vote for the candidate of your choice does not affect any political party.
I’m explaining all of this because sometimes a color or letter immediately decides where the vote will go. Offices such as DA usually involve many factors. If a voter thinks through everything and votes according to the actual person, that’s better. ey do not have to flip a coin or vote one way or other.
In legislative bodies, from village boards to the U.S. Senate in Washington, other members of the same political party o en side with each other. A vote for a District Attorney will have no affect on anything else. A vote for a Democrat in Washington DC is an entirely different story.
MY MAIN REASON FOR PUBLISHING THIS IS NOT TO CAMPAIGN FOR EITHER PARTY; RATHER IT IS TO CLARIFY AND BRING ATTENTION TO SEVERAL THINGS THAT I BELIEVE ARE IMPROPER.
Ashley Williams, who is challenging Incumbent Greg McCaffrey, has made a number of very strong statements against Mr. McCaffrey. e following are her statements and a basic response:
CAP COURT
Complaint was that DA McCaffrey was not attending the sessions.
is was implemented by the State. It was to do something about complaints that newly arrested people were having to sit in a jail cell for several days at a time. e Administrative Judge of the Seventh Judicial District assigned one of the new courts to Livingston County. DA McCaffrey had objected because neither he nor his office was getting papers they needed. He had objected to some of the provisions in the beginning.
I have a written statement from DA McCaffrey that his office first appeared in the court on December 21, 2023.
CONTROVERSY: e challenger issued a recent statement that the DA did not go to the court until a er she announced her candidacy.
DA McCaffrey’s statement said the challenger announced at the end of January, 2024.
e wording of her comment made it clear that, as far as she was concerned, the DA didn’t do anything until she announced
1. WRONGDOING: Challenger sent a copy of letter within past two weeks -- almost 2-1/2 years a er it was initially sent. e letter is originally dated June 21, 2022.
Since the DA’s office started appearing December 21, 2023, there was neither reason nor justification to send out the copy of the letter.
2. WRONGDOING: at letter was apparently put together to get more clout for getting the DA’s office what they were entitled. Mr. McCaffrey says that the letter, signed by the seven law enforcement officers, WAS SUPPOSED TO BE KEPT IN THE STRICTEST OF CONFIDENCE. Evidently there is now a problem about that part.
e letter signed by the seven law enforcement people has some very strong language in it.
As these various mailings and statements are pieced together like a puzzle, it ends up to be, in my opinion, a very strong appearance of a calculated SMEAR CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
3. WRONGDOING: e challenger had several printed words in different places that she was endorsed by certain police or law enforcement people. THIS ONE IS OUTRAGEOUS AND DESPICABLE ON HER PART.
e challenger completely failed to disclose to the public that her husband is a Captain in the Livingston County Sherrif’s Office.
Even worse is that the Captain supervises the Investigators in the Criminal Investigation Division. e investigators work directly with the District Attorney. e investigators no longer feel comfortable using a private side door into the DA’s office. ey apparently feel the need to go through the public area so they won’t be accused of siding with the DA.
I have seen these things before from the sheriff ’s office. ey are rather tight-knit, which is fine. But when the CAPTAIN’S wife is running, what would you expect?
4. WRONGDOING: e challenger has made multiple derogatory comments about former Governor Andrew Cuomo. One statement says that District Attorney McCaffrey was appointed by “disgraced Governor Cuomo.”
5. WRONGDOING: e challenger has made an unnecessary big production – in poor taste – about the photograph of DA McCaffrey with Governor Cuomo. e appointment was some twelve years ago. e conduct of the challenger is intended to again, taint DA McCaffrey. In addition, the challenger wrote some very snide, disrespectful comments on social media. Her words said that the DA reports to or deals with a faction in New York City and Washington DC. at is an outrageous allegation.
6. WRONGDOING: e challenger has absolutely, improperly, publicly stated that the DA has failed to do something about the “no bail.” Governors know about the problems from that law all over the country. e DA can’t just decide to jump into something. He cannot change the law. e “bully-pulpit” hopefully allows for a little common sense. ere has to be a mass of legislators banning together to get that law fixed. e DA’s position is that his time is better spent doing DA work in the courtroom.
When all of these things are looked at one-by-one, and then considered together, there is a very strong case of inappropriate or improper conduct on the part of the challenger.
e qualities and abilities of District Attorney McCaffrey are miles ahead of the challenger. ere is no question about that. Nevertheless, even if their skills, abilities and experience were about the same, she should be eliminated because of these various stunts and improprieties.
THERE IS NO WAY IN THE WORLD THAT ASHLEY WILLIAMS SHOULD EVER BE DISTRICT ATTORNEY -- IN THIS COUNTY OR ANY OTHER COUNTY.
A District Attorney MUST have unquestionable honesty, and impeccable character. She has neither.
Questions of disciplinary action remain open.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

HIKING: Hiking is a fun activity that can be enjoyed nearly year-round, but it’s especially enjoyable in the fall. That’s because few things in nature are as captivating as a park or forest when the fall foliage is in full bloom. Early fall also boasts ideal temperatures for hiking, as the mercury likely won’t rise enough or sink low enough to produce the kind of extreme temperatures that can compromise a hiker’s afternoon. Instead, fall temperatures tend to be mild and comfortable, allowing hikers to fully enjoy their often beautiful surroundings.

November 2 , 2024
The ancient indigenous people of Mexico have practiced rituals celebrating the lives of past ancestors for around 3,000 years. The celebration that is now known as the Day of the Dead originally landed on the ninth month of the Aztec calendar and was observed for the entire month. In the 20th century, the month long festivities were condensed to three days called The Days of the Dead: Halloween on October 31, Day of the Innocents on November 1, and Day of the Dead on November 2.

Chicken BBQ
Dog clean up
Our little hamlet is such a special place to live. Our volunteer firemen and women recently got up very early to make HUNDREDS of chicken for the annual chicken BBQ. What a wonderful meal it was and we so appreciated and enjoyed the work these people did.
Church Sale
Please, it is not that hard to pick up after your dog goes potty! So many people just leave it. Children play in parks, people walk on trails and paths and other dogs should have the right to enjoy the outdoors as well. Don’t leave your dog’s mess for someone else to clean up or for it to cause issues. Be respectful and responsible. You chose to get a dog and cleaning up after them goes right along with having them; it’s not that hard.
Inexperienced or rushed construction worker
I saw the [local church] ad in your Penny Saver and was glad they put it in there because I went to it and let me tell you, the sale was the best The ladies had everything so well organized and each item was priced and so very neat and they only had clean, workable items and clothes. And the price for the items were a steal!! I can't thank the ladies enough for the time and effort they all did to make this sale so enjoyable and just so perfect. I can't wait for next year's sale!
Saw construction ahead so took an alternative route through a nearby neighborhood to stay out of the construction workers’ way and avoid delays. Came up to a large loader which was fine because he was in his own lane, with no other cars or obstacles on that stretch of road. Stayed in my lane, even hugging the right side to give plenty of room. As we passed each other going opposite directions towards each other, a golf cart ATV behind him came whipping out in reverse, almost all the way over into my lane just to turn the thing around. I made sure to stay in my lane the whole time (about 25 mph, not 50) and we might have come within a few feet of each other as he popped out because he was whipping almost all the way over into my lane with little warning/reason though there were no cones or flagman or anything like that so he should have looked first before whipping out so fast and so far or turn tighter because those things have a tighter turning radius than that or do a 3pt turn. But he yelled at me.
SIGHTS TO SEE AT FALL HARVEST FESTIVALS
Leaf-peeping opportunities - Some festivals are geared around chances to view the fall foliage that abounds in primarily rural areas. A mountain or forest backdrop adds vibrant color to any event. Coastal areas may set up fall foliage cruises that let guests see the leaves from a new perspective.

ELSIE’S STEWED APPLES
Serves 6 to 8
2 to 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 pounds apples, peeled, cored and cut into thick slices
1/2 cup honey, preferably sage honey
1/2 cup white wine
Zest of 1 lemon
Juice of 1 lemon
Fresh sage sprigs for garnish
1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the apples, turn the heat to high and sauté until they begin to brown on the edges, about 5 minutes. If some are getting too well done, remove them and place on a plate while the rest continue to cook, then return them to the skillet when all are done.
2. Reduce the heat to low and add the honey, wine, lemon zest, lemon juice, and 1/2 cup water. Cover and allow to cook until the apples are tender but still firm; you don’t want them to turn into applesauce.
3. Serve this in a bowl, tuck in a couple sprigs of fresh sage from your garden, and tell your guests all about sage honey.

KEEP YOUR PETS SAFE THIS HALLOWEEN
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Can you remind your readers that Halloween can present many dangers to pets? ank you. -- Clara in Atlanta
DEAR CLARA: You’re absolutely right! While it can be lots of fun to celebrate Halloween with your pet, owners need to protect them from risks that can endanger them during the fun.
If you’re having a Halloween party, consider sending your pet to a friend or family member for the evening or give them a safe place to hang out while the guests are there -- like your bedroom or a back room. Make sure they have a comfy bed or blanket, water and toys.
You can bring a pet out to meet the party guests if they are well socialized and calm in group settings. Once your dog or cat (or rabbit or bird or iguana) has said hello to everyone, take them back to their safe room.
Costumes on pets are so much fun, but be sure that the costume isn’t constrictive and that wearing it doesn’t cause them anxiety. A few minutes at a time is recommended -- enough time to get some cute photos for your Instagram.
Keep all candies, cookies and sweet treats out of reach of your pets. Chocolate is especially dangerous for dogs. Likewise, if you have party snacks out, keep them up high. Avocado, onions and grapes are also dangerous foods for dogs and cats.
If you’re trick-or-treating with your pet, keep them on a leash at all times. at includes cats! It’s dark, the streets are unfamiliar and there are lots of strange characters walking around. Your pet can get scared and run off.
With advance preparation, you can have a safe, fun and happy Halloween!

Around and around the house the leaves fall thick—but never fast, for they come circling down with a dead lightness that is sombre and slow. Let the gardener sweep and sweep the turf as he will, and press the leaves into full barrows, and wheel them off, still they lie ankle-deep.
~Charles Dickens, Bleak House

SEPARATED BY CRISIS, REUNITED BY VOLUNTEERS
(NAPSI)—Each year, armed conflicts and natural disasters wreak havoc on a global scale. Yet even after the immediate crisis passes, the devastation can last much longer— particularly when families are torn apartamidstcircumstanceandchaos.
In these cases, family members are often left with few resources and no sense of where to begin their quest to find their missing loved ones. Fortunately, there is a worldwide organization that works to reconnect families who have been separated by internationalcrises.
The American Red Cross—part of the world’s largest humanitarian network— offers free and confidential services, strivingtoreconnectlovedoneswhen:
• Families are separated as a result of international conflict, disaster, migration or other humanitarian emergency.
• Families have already tried normal channels of communication to reconnect.
• The family member making the inquiry is a relative who had been in direct contact with the sought personbeforethecrisisoccurred.
Across international boundaries, the organization offers a beacon of hope for families to be reunited.And though the process can take time, Red Cross volunteers do everything in their power—from phone calls and online searches, to in-person interviews and worldwide travel—to fulfill families’ hopes.
“These people have broken hearts,” said Fidele, a Red Cross volunteer from Burundi who was previously reunited with his father after a 20year search. “We ask questions about what their loved one looks like or where they last lived to help us with our search. These questions bring them back to the time they were forced to separate from their families.”
Little Words, Big Impact
Theorganizationalsomakesitpossible fordisplacedindividualstoreachoutto their families—even half a world away. The family messages transmitted by the American Red Cross can be very brief, but the three short words—“I am alive”—maybeallthatisneededtoease themindsof distraughtlovedones.
To begin a search, contact your local Red Cross chapter—the critical link in your community to the global Red Cross Red Crescent network. You can also call the free national helpline at (844)782-9441.
From Latin America and Africa to Asia and Europe, the American Red Cross helps people in some of the world’s most at-risk communities. This work is powered by the generosity of volunteers and donors. To learn more visitredcross.org/international.
MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel * On Nov. 2, 1960, a landmark obscenity case over “Lady Chatterley’s Lover,” by D.H. Lawrence, ends in the acquittal of Penguin Books. The publisher had been sued for obscenity in publishing an unexpurgated version of the novel, which deals with the affair between the wife of a landowner and the estate’s gamekeeper.
There is a great deal of wisdom in Dr. Johnson’s epigram. For those who might not be familiar with any words he used, Dr. Johnson is remembered chiefly as a lexicographer, and developed one of the first authoritative dictionaries.
Johnson tells us that if we want to eliminate a bad habit, it is easier to abstain entirely than try to practice moderation. Once we have conditioned ourselves to make the effort, we’ll find it as easy to abstain as to “cut down”…a practice which only serves to keep our bad habit alive.
We serve families of all faiths and creeds with dignity and good taste. We are locally owned and operated and take a sincere interest in all who come to us for our professional aid.

RÉSUMÉ WRITING RULES TO FOLLOW
Be brief yet effective
A concise design is key. Many recruiters spend little to no time reviewing the hordes of résumés they receive. In fact, automated résumé bots may initially screen the documents to thin the crowd. According to data from the 12th annual Mystery Job Candidate survey by CareerXRoads, the average recruiter spends six seconds looking at a résumé. If a résumé is lengthy or doesn’t attract attention, it will likely be ignored. Stick to a single-page and make sure wording is brief but meaty.

GET A HANDLE ON WORK-RELATED STRESS
Take more time off. According to the “State of American Vacation 2016” report from Project: Time Off, American workers failed to use 658 million vacation days in 2015. Vacation is not just a time to get away, but a valuable, effective way for workers to recharge. The APA notes that avoiding the negative effects of chronic stress and burnout requires workers to take time away to replenish and return to their pre-stress level of functioning. Taking time off to disconnect from work and avoid thinking about work can be just what workers need to overcome their work-related stress. And plenty of workers have the time to take off; they just need to take it.

DID YOU KNOW?
Numerous studies have found that vacationing produces a host of health benefits. The ongoing Framingham Heart Study, which began in 1948 and is currently studying its third generation of participants, found that men who did not take a vacation for several years were 30 percent more likely to have heart attacks than men who took time off. In addition, the FHS found women who take a vacation only once every six years or less were nearly eight times as likely to develop coronary heart disease or have a heart attack as women who vacation at least twice per year. Vacations also have been linked to lower stress levels, as a study from the American Psychological Association concluded that vacations reduce stress by removing people from activities and environments that are the sources of their stress. Vacations can even benefit employers, as an internal study from the professional services firm Ernst & Young found that employees’ year-end performance ratings improved by 8 percent for each additional 10 hours of vacation time they took.
