April Fool, n. The March fool with another month added to his folly

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

* “Revive the look of indoor plant leaves by rubbing the leaves with mineral oil on a soft cloth. Just wipe nicely, and it makes a big difference. Through the years, I have used this tip for both my real plants and plastic plants.”

-- J.D. in Alabama

* Lime juice and vinegar both make good meat tenderizers. You can purchase tougher cuts of meat, season with spices and lime/vinegar and marinate for 10-15 minutes before cooking. It is a great way to ease your meat budget. Steaks are getting expensive!

* “To make onion rings easier to cut (less stinging eyes) and to have the layers separate better when making onion rings, I put my onions in the freezer for about 10 minutes before peeling. They don’t freeze, but they do get nice and cold.” -- O.F. in Florida

* Looking for a more natural way to clean? Here’s two for the bathroom: Clean chrome with baking soda on a soft, damp cloth. Follow up with vinegar for some shine. Spray lightly and wipe away with a clean cloth.

* “Men: Make your own aftershave. Thin a bottle of baby lotion with a little rubbing alcohol. Put in a hand lotion bottle, and use half a squirt. No sting, and soft, smooth skin.” -- T.G. in Illinois

* Add a single teaspoon of rice to the saltshaker in order to keep too many grains of salt from coming out at a time.

Prepare For The Unexpected

In case something does happen to your vehicle this winter and you are stranded for an extended period of time, it’s important to keep a few essential items on board. Assemble an emergency kit containing a blanket, gloves, ice scraper, flares, flashlight, water and basic first aid items. Make sure to also carry a cell phone when you travel, particularly if bad weather is expected.

DINING OUT WITH CHILDREN

Active children can learn table manners and restaurant behavior early on through practice. These lessons can open children up to new food experiences and help them grow accustomed to social settings. Do not set your child up to fail by selecting a restaurant that is too fancy or quiet. Save those restaurants for when your company is adults only. A place that is used to noise (and moderate mess) is better.

Bring along some games, toys and other trinkets to keep their attention. Try playing games, such as counting the packets of sugar or finding people wearing red shirts.

Avoid dining out with a tired child, and be prompt in selecting meals and eating. This is not a time to linger, as youngsters’ attention spans and willingness to sit still tend to be minimal. Be prepared to leave with a to-go box if a child proves unruly.

Miles Davis (1926-1991): Compared to other jazz legends, Illinois-born Miles Davis was introduced to music rather late. It wasn’t until Davis was 13 years old that his father introduced him to the trumpet, an introduction that would dramatically alter the course of jazz music. Under the tutelage of local music school director Elwood Buchanan, Davis learnedtoplaythetrumpetwithout vibrato, which Biography.com notes marked a departure from the style of trumpet-playing popular at the time. A true pioneer, Davis is considered one of the most influential figures in the history of jazz and 20th century music.

SENIOR NEWS

Is It Taxable?

By Matilda Charles

A er preparing my own taxes annually for over 40 years, I’m about to have someone else do them for me for the rst time.

is is not without concerns, of course, but the people who volunteer to prepare taxes at the senior center are trained. ey’re part of the AARP income tax assistance program, which means they’re IRS-certi ed and therefore will know about any recent changes to tax law ... which will be handy at this point.

As of this writing, the IRS is telling people to hold o sending in their tax returns for 2022. e reason: So many states handed out so many types of money during the pandemic that the IRS isn’t sure yet what is and isn’t taxable. For example, checks designated as “rebates” might or might not be taxable. A Covid disaster emergency relief check is not. However, in some cases, the issue is complicated by whether you do or do not itemize. People in at least 22 states are caught in this dilemma.

If you haven’t done your taxes yet and want help, or if you want to make a note for next year, do an online search for “AARP Foundation Tax-Aide Locator.” Once on the site, scroll down and enter your ZIP code or town in the search eld to nd the locations near you.

Be sure to ask about the forms you’ll need to pick up and ll out before your appointment, and whether you’ll be going inside or waiting in the parking lot.

e other good news is that this AARP service is free. For me it means I don’t need to spend $50 once again to buy the computer so ware and do it myself and hope I haven’t made an error somewhere ... perhaps with guessing wrong about whether that state check I received is or isn’t taxable.

BEGIN PLANNING KIDS’ SUMMER RECREATION NOW

EXPLORE ALL OPTIONS. Camps come in more flavors than ever before. Certain camps may be faith-based ministries while others may focus on particular sports. Band camps and art camps may appeal to creative kids. Also, there are plenty of general-interest camps that offer various activities without narrowing in on any particular one. Parents may need to choose between a sleepaway camp or day camps, depending on which camp experience they want for their children.

WORK PANTS: THE NEXT GENERATION

(NAPSI)—Just as technology has had a major effect on the kind of work people do, it has also changed the clothes in which they do that work. For example, with hard work in mind, a new collection of pants has been created by Carhartt with a unique blend of durability and functionality.

“Our company has been around for nearly 130 years, and throughout our history, we’ve continued to improve our product offerings to fit the needs of our hardworking consumers,” says Deb Ferraro, vice president of product development at Carhartt. “This new collection of pants reinforces our commitment to setting a new standard for workwear.”

Carhartt’s Steel Multi-Pocket pant, Steel Double-Front pant, and Steel Cargo pant feature the brand’s Full Swing® technology and a fabric blend of cotton, nylon and spandex. First introduced in 2015, Full Swing® uses stretch panels to provide ease of movement in the joints, improving hardworking consumers’ range of motion where they need it most—both on and off the job.

Additionally, each of the new pant styles is equipped with knee pad openings designed to fit the company’s most recent innovation in knee protection. The Carhartt knee pad features a strapless, honeycomb design that maximizes durability and comfort, providing an easy-to-wear solution for impact protection.

The launch of these new work pants coincides with a celebration of Carhartt’s oldest work pants. The classic Firm Duck Double-Front Work Dungaree was first introduced to the company’s product line in 1939, and it is now the focal point of the brand’s latest campaign celebrating its sewing, cutting and distribution associates. The video highlights the product details while unveiling the craftsmanship behind every pair of the B01 Firm Duck Double-Front Work Dungarees.

TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL DRIVING VACATION:

Schedule a tuneup beforehand. Before departing, ensure your vehicle is in good working order to reduce the likelihood of a breakdown. Make sure you have a spare tire and tire-changing tools, just in case.

BEGIN PLANNING KIDS’ SUMMER RECREATION NOW

If camp seems out of reach, look into local summer recreation programs at parks or schools. Such programs may not be as extensive as those offered by camps, but they can quell kids’ boredom and keep children occupied during the day.

HOW TO SUPPORT STUDENTS INTERESTED IN THE ARTS

Research local performing arts schools. Children who exhibit an especially strong interest in the arts may benefit from enrolling in a school that specializes in performing arts. Such schools may be open to kids as young as five and extend all the way through high school. Some performing arts schools require prospective students to audition or apply. Arts high schools still offer instruction in core academic subjects, but parents should explore each school’s curriculum before deciding if a given school is right for their children.

High Doses of Vitamins

Lead to Vitamin Toxicity

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have been diagnosed with vitamin D toxicity, according to the blood work from a month ago -- my result was 122 ng/mL. I was taking high doses of vitamin D3 in pill form (15,000 IU a day for three years) bought from a drugstore. I have stopped taking it, but I need to know how long it will take to have a normal amount in my body. (Weeks, months?) Can you shed any light on this question? I would like to take it again when my level comes down, but in a lower amount. Also, by any chance, would the high amount of D3 in my system have any correlation to a diagnosis of stenosis of the aortic valve? -- C.I.

ANSWER: Vitamin D toxicity is not common. I have seen one case in my career requiring hospitalization, due to a very high elevation of the blood calcium level. Vitamin D increases absorption of calcium from food through the intestines.

In addition, calcium can come out of bones in people with very high levels of vitamin D. With high vitamin D levels, calcium levels can also become dangerously high. Common symptoms of very high calcium levels include constipation, nausea and vomiting, muscle weakness, kidney stones, and neurological symptoms, including poor concentration and fatigue. These symptoms tend to happen at levels higher than yours, above 150 ng/mL. Years of high calcium levels can absolutely cause existing heart valve disease to worsen quickly.

In cases of acute intoxication from vitamin D, available treatments include steroids and pamidronate (an injectable medicine similar to alendronate and other drugs used to treat osteoporosis), which can quickly bring the calcium levels back down to normal.

Without this kind of intervention, a vitamin D level will still come down on its own, only more gradually. Vitamin D3 is removed slowly from the body, because it can go into fat tissue. It takes about two months for half the excess to be removed from the body, but because the active forms are removed more quickly, toxicity from excess vitamin D3 usually only lasts for weeks, not months. Still, you are likely not to need any vitamin D for many months, and if you do take it again, do not exceed the safe dose of 5,000 IU a day. I recommend you also get your blood levels tested. Recent studies have questioned the benefit of supplemental vitamin D for most people, although some people, such as those with osteoporosis and low vitamin D levels, probably still benefit.

I’m very glad you wrote. Many people still don’t know that excess of some vitamins can occasionally be dangerous. Vitamin A is the other vitamin where high levels can be very dangerous.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu.

RECOGNIZE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS HOUSEHOLD CHEMICALS

Air fresheners: These seemingly innocuous products may be doing more harm than good. Information published in a 2015 issue of The Journal of Toxicological Sciences linked air fresheners to volatile organic compounds, or VOCs. They also may contain ultra-fine particles of formaldehyde and phenol. In addition, National Geographic’s The Green Guide states that many air fresheners contain nerve-deadening chemicals that coat nasal passages and temporarily block one’s sense of smell. Many widely available air fresheners use phthalates, which are linked to hormonal and reproductive issues, birth defects and developmental disorders. In lieu of chemical air fresheners, spray diluted essential oils around the house.

DENTAL EMERGENCIES

When does a dental problem become an emergency? Some issues need immediate attention, while others can wait until your next dental checkup. A dental emergency is any problem that requires immediate attention, like severe pain, bleeding that won’t stop, the risk of losing a tooth, or an infection.Otherexamplesareasudden or severely painful toothache, sudden swelling in the mouth or jaw, exposed nerves, knocked out or fractured teeth, abscesses, and objects lodged in the teeth or gums. Missing fillings and crowns can also be considered dental emergencies, due to the risk of further damage and infection. If you’re not sure if your issue requires an emergency visit,call your dentist to discuss your symptoms.

It’s so much easier to prevent a dental tragedy than have to treat it when it turns serious. Place your

oral health in our capable hands at BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL. We’ll work together as a team with you to achieve the long-term benefits that quality dentistry affords. You can trust us to help you keep on top of a healthy dental profile that will serve you well into your future.

DID YOU KNOW?

The U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs estimates that around eight million adults in the United States experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in a given year. Women experience PTSD at a much greater rate than men. Estimates from the USDVA indicate that 10 percent of women and 4 percent of men are affected by PTSD. Instances of PTSD are similarly prevalent in Canada, where the Canadian Psychological Association estimates that around 8 percent of Canadians who experience a traumatic event develop PTSD.Though no one is immune to PTSD, rates of the disorder among combat veterans are significantly higher than the rates among the general population. USDVA reports that one study of 1,938 veterans found that the prevalence rate among Gulf War veterans was around 14 percent, while an older study from the American Psychological Association found that about 30 percent of Vietnam War veterans had PTSD in their lifetime.

UPGRADE ATTIC INSULATION TO SAVE ON ENERGY EXPENSES

(NAPSI)—One of the most cost-effective ways to make your home more comfortable year-round is to add insulation to your attic, including the attic trap or access door. By sealing uncontrolled air leaks, points out the U.S. Department of Energy, you can save 10 percent to 20 percent on your heating and cooling bills. Fortunately, this can be a relatively easy task.

Why Improve Your Insulation

Animproperlyinsulatedatticcanbeapreventablesourceofenergylossand unnecessary expense. Over time, insulation can settle or compact, which reduces its R-value. An insulating material’s resistance to conductive heat flow is measured or rated in terms of its thermal resistance or R-value— the higher the R-value, the greater the insulating effectiveness. A breezy attic may also result in drifts or shifts in your original insulation, leaving gaps where heat can escape. By topping up your attic insulation, you’ll increase thethermallevel,reducingyouroverallenergyusageandsavingyoumoney.

How To Do It

A simple way to do this is to topup the existing insulation in your attic. This is oneprojectthathomeownerscanoftentackleforthemselves.Lookfortimesaving, easy-to-install products, such as stone wool batts, that are easy to work with and don’t require costly blower rentals, protective clothing or an investment in expensive equipment.

You can easily add Rockwool ComfortBatt insulation on top of most existing insulationtoincreaseR-valueinanatticwithouthavingtodoanyremediation orremovalfirst.Thebattswillremainstableandwon’tshiftaftertheyareput in place, ensuring upgraded thermal protection. They’re also:

• Easily cut

• Noncombustible

• Excellent for sound absorbency

• Not likely to rot or promote growth of fungi or mildew

• Water and moisture resistant.

To apply the insulation, simply begin in one corner of the attic, open the bag and place the stone wool batts as needed to get a consistent layer throughout the attic. Make sure to cover spaces around ducts, wiring and piping, converting these awkward spaces into energy-saving areas.

HOW TO CUT COSTS ON HOME RENOVATIONS

Do some prep work: You might be able to save by doing some of the demolition and preparatory work yourself. For example, you can tear up old carpeting before the installation of new tile floors. Perhaps you can mend and patch up walls before a paint job.

Does Your Family Have a Fire Escape Plan? (Family Features) When a home fire occurs, you have very little time to get out. A working smoke alarm doubles your chances of survival, yet more than twenty percent of American homes are without them. Energizer and the International Association of Fire Chiefs teamed up to address this problem by providing vital fire safety information to families. Make a Plan Installing smoke alarms on every level of the home and developing a plan of escape can give your family precious minutes to get out and get to safety. Draw a floor plan of your home and sketch exit routes out of every room. Make sure you have a fire escape ladder long enough to reach the ground from upstairs rooms. Assign an outside meeting place, so you can quickly locate each other

Keep it covered. Covered bins can serve as a seating area and also a place to store shoes, hats and scarves.

What Expecting Parents Can Do To Make Their Homes Safer

• Conceal cables and cords. Cable and cord concealers are inexpensive and easily installed. Often used to cover cords hanging down from mounted televisions, concealers also can be used to hide cords coming from computers, lamps and other items that can pose a threat to young children.

• Avoid hand-me-down kids’ furniture. The older a piece of furniture is, the less likely it is that the item will meet current safety guidelines. Some parents may be tempted to let their children sleep in the same crib they slept in as kids decades ago, but it’s safer to eschew nostalgia in favor of products that meet the latest safety standards.

• Get rid of potential choking hazards. Prior to bringing their babies home, expecting parents can remove all small trinkets and other items that curious children may want to put in their mouths. When buying toys for kids, read the packaging to make sure each item is safe for babies and avoid buying or accepting any gifts with small pieces.

• Store all medicines on high shelves behind cabinet doors. Vitamins and medicines should be stored on high shelves behind cabinet doors. If kids can see them, they’ll likely try to grab them. Hiding medicines on high shelves behind closed cabinet doors reduces the risk that kids will be poisoned and suffer a fallrelated injury.

BEGIN AGAIN RESCUES AND REHABILITATES LOCAL HORSES

BY DANNY LINSNER

Unfortunately for Timmy, more tragedy would strike. e family’s patriarch passed away and the family was forced to sell the house and move, leaving Timmy behind. e family found Timmy had been sold to an unknown buyer and the family had no leads to Timmy’s whereabouts.

A er four years of searching, a family friend was searching Begin Again’s website when she noticed the picture of a horse that looked like Timmy. Even though the horse had a di erent color, she knew it was Timmy and she told the family as much. e family returned to Begin Again and signed the paperwork to bring Timmy to their new home, where he has been ever since.

As the old saying goes, all good things must come to an end. However, at the Begin Again Horse Rescue in Lima, that doesn’t have to be the case. e horse rescue, as their name suggests, provides abandoned or struggling horses a chance at a better life through rehabilitation and a chance to have a ful lling life for many years to come.

Located in Lima on Route 15A near the intersection with Woodru Road, the farm consists of horses found to be neglected or abused. rough the help of volunteers, these horses are adopted and rehabbed, and then sent to other places where they can receive proper care from a loving family.

e Begin Again Horse Rescue is only a temporary home for horses, so that means horses are constantly coming and going from the farm. e Horse Rescue usually accepts horses from private owners, county horse facilities, or from livestock auctions where the horse will most likely be sold to slaughter.

Most horses adopted by Begin Again Horse Rescue come from within a two-hour radius of the farm, which allows the farm to adopt horses to local farms and families. Many horses have gone on to be successful outside the rescue.

Last year, one horse adopted from BAHR, Holy Smoke, competed in Harrisburg, PA in the Horse World Expo in the Rescued to Stardom Training challenge. e BAHR sends a horse to this expo every year.

Other horses’ success outside of the horse rescue include Timmy, adopted by Begin Again in 2016 a er its previous owner could not manage the horse’s health. Timmy was 100 pounds underweight and had skin and eye infections. He started his rehab assignment with BAHR and in 2017, he was sent to a family looking for a 4-H mount.

However, this went poorly, and the family had to send Timmy back to Begin Again. Many at the rescue thought Timmy would spend the rest of his life at Begin Again, but that would prove not to be the case.

In 2018, another local family was looking for a horse to adopt and Timmy seemed a good t for them. e family trained Timmy for show, and he participated in AQHA shows and at the New York State Fair. However, Timmy’s demeanor prevented him from showing for long and the family decided it would be fruitless to force Timmy to do something he didn’t want to do.

Another project Begin Again Horse Rescue participates in is Project Microchip, which started in 2021. Placing a microchip on horses tracks them a er they leave the horse rescue to identify them if they ever get lost. e microchips also track horses’ diseases and to prevent their spread. e chip is inserted into the le side of the horses’ neck, with which insertion BAHR says the horses feel no pain.

BAHR has been recognized nationally for their work in horse rehabilitation. ey received Guardian status from the Equus Foundation, received grants from the ASPCA and the Doris Day Foundation, and was named the 2020 Horse Rescue of the Year by the Equis Saves Foundation.

e Begin Again Horse Rescue is completely run by volunteers, except for daily caretakers, and survives solely on donations from the general population.

To volunteer, you must sign a liability agreement on the BAHR website and attend a Saturday morning two-hour orientation. Volunteers under the age of 14 must have parental supervision, and all volunteers are limited to one shi a week, either in the morning or a ernoon.

To contact BAHR, email info@beginagainrescue.org or call (585) 322-2427.

RAVES

Thank You

A big thank you to the person who removed the top of the tree that fell across my driveway. I really appreciate your thoughtfulness (as well as your strength).

One reader’s take on the garbage plate discussion I had to try that fish stick substitution at my local plate joint. Not only did they do it and do it well, but my plate guy offered me tuna salad instead of mac salad! I was hesitant at first because mac salad is my favorite part, but the tuna and capers with extra mayo were a perfect complement to the plate. It added a fresh bite, a nice foil to the richer meat sauce and raw onion. Dig in with a celery stick instead of a spoon for added deliciousness and health!

Calling the Cops!

My sincere and heartfelt thanks to the fellow sufferers at the Mobil Car Wash in Lakeville on February 8, 2023 from 3:15-3:30 who witnessed a confrontation between Generation Z and a 60s person. During a dirty car day I had a 20 minute wait in line. Once it was my turn a large black truck came at me from the EXIT and tried to play chicken. We were now inches apart, but I kept driving forward to pay. Then the dude exited his truck while screaming that I had cheated (cheated a cheater?), and if I hit him he would sue me. It got even brighter when, upon exiting the tunnel, I saw a Livingston County Sheriff parked right by the door. Somebody had called the cops! Other people saw what was going on, and they didn’t like it. My faith in humanity and common purpose soared. I know it’s only a car wash, but we are all on this earth together and equal. Selfish jerks who cut the line anyplace are not really winning anything but our collective contempt—and sometimes vigilance.

Tailgaters

I’m fed up with tailgaters. No matter how fast or slow or time of day there’s always an idiot who tailgates. With deer and other animals out, it’s plain stupid to drive close. Even in daylight some won’t pass or back off and give space. Maybe your eyesight is poor and you need to follow close, sort of like a guide dog. Maybe you’re in a hurry to get somewhere and safety doesn’t matter. Consider the car in front of you who’s worried if they do have to stop or turn you’ll rear end them. Front and rear dash cameras can be used in court. Remember that next time you tailgate.

"Mind My Own Business?" Yeah, you should

To the person who wrote in condemning 'obese' people for costing you more in health insurance, shame on you. There is NO proof that being in a larger body causes poorer health. There IS a correlation between those two things and that is likely due to poor medical care and trauma caused by incessant weight stigma (by people like you). 95% of people who lose weight on diets gain it all back within 2-5 years. Intentional weight loss is not sustainable. So, keep your non-evidence based and oppressive opinions to yourself.

Sore Eye in Your Town

I traveled through town on a nice Sunday in February, looking at the old buildings on Main Street. I admired the old historical building on Main Street and looked across the driveway when something caught my eye: a pickup loaded with trash, along with trash and debris on the side of the house and back. What a disappointment. I proceeded to turn south. While admiring another building, what caught my eye were saws, trailers, wood; you name it, it was there.

Your town is very old. Why don't main drag streets keep clean? Where's the code office? Do they have one? It has been a long time since we came through this town. We really wanted to see the old buildings, but this was a sore eye maker.

WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR MOBILE PHONE ETIQUETTE

Keep private conversations private. When the phone rings while you are in public and you don’t want to allow the call to go to voicemail, answer the call and immediately and politely explain that you are in public. This indicates to the person on the other end of the line that you do not want to broadcast potentially sensitive information to strangers, while also showing those around you that you respect them enough to reserve such conservations for private settings.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

* Similar to how human babies suck their thumbs for comfort, baby elephants suck on their trunks.

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

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My cat Huey will let me pet him for a few seconds, and then he’ll nip at my ngers or knuckles. Am I doing something wrong? How can I get him to stop that behavior? -- Sarah W., Boston

DEAR SARAH: Nipping at your hand while being petted is a very common cat behavior (or misbehavior, depending on which end of the bite you’re on). It stems from instinctive behaviors that a cat learns from the time they’re born through adulthood.

Ideally, the best time to curb biting behavior is when they’re kittens, but not everyone has that luxury -- people who’ve adopted adult cats, for example, or owners who thought a kitten nipping their knuckles was cute, until that kitten turned into a full-grown, biting cat.

As you’ve probably noticed, yelling, “No” at a cat doesn’t always get the desired e ect. Instead, gently discourage this behavior. Pet your cat as usual, but as soon as he begins to bite, withdraw your hand and turn your body partly or totally away from him. You want to communicate that biting means he won’t get your attention any longer.

Another option, before settling in front of the television with Huey snuggled up next to you, is to smear a tiny bit of peanut butter or another favorite treat across your knuckles. Let him lick your knuckles periodically while you pet him. e instant he tries to bite, take your hand away. Essentially, you want Huey to not see your hand as a toy or an attention-getter. It will take a few tries, but most cats pick up on your intentions a er a while, so be patient and consistent with this training.

Does your cat bite? How did you solve it? Tell us at ask@pawscorner. com.

WAYS TO SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES

If you own a small business, keep business cards, flyers or a sign advertising another small business in the area to show mutual support.

DID YOU KNOW? Without pollinators, more than 100 crops grown in the United States would not be able to thrive. Plants, including various fruits, vegetables, nuts and more, rely on pollinators to ensure to transport pollen. Though many plants are self-pollinating and others are pollinated by the wind or water, many others rely on insects and animals to become pollinated. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says birds, bees, bats, butterflies, moths, flies, beetles, and small mammals all can work as pollinators. Examples of crops pollinated by pollinators include apples,squash and almonds.Animals and insects help pollinate more than 75 percent of the world’s flowering plants, and nearly 75 percent of all crops, according to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Unfortunately, pesticide use can diminish the number of natural pollinators. Natural gardening and pest-control can help protect the habitats of pollinators.

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.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE DRAFTING A LIVING WILL

Do I have firm feelings about life-saving methods? A living will allows you to spell out preferences on insertion of feeding tubes, if you want specialized hydration, if you want to be hooked up to life support if brain function is minimal, and a host of other scenarios.

Jerome “Jerry” David Dougherty, born January 18, 1946, the middle child among the brood of 11 born to Harold and Phyllis Dougherty, passed peacefully at his cherished home on the lake, February 20, 2023. Jerry was a proud and faithful husband, predeceased by his wife of 51 years, Kimberly Dougherty, just 19 days earlier, and father to Jennifer (Tim), John (Mark) and Colleen (Bryan) to which he gave more life, love and inspiration than he could ever imagine. But being Papa to Ruairi, Gideon and Killian was undeniably his most treasured role in this life. Never did his Irish eyes smile more than when telling a story about his beautiful, smart granddaughter or his witty, fun and mischievous little buddies. And while at a distance, he never hesitated a moment to ask about his inherited grandsons Fisher and West.

Jerry is survived by his sisters, Cheryl Bryar (Bill), Pam Arrigenna (Peter), Kay McAfee (Ron); brothers, Kevin, Peter (Barb); brother-in-law, Steve Harrison (Kathy) and dozens of loving and loved nieces, nephews, grand-nieces and grand-nephews. He was predeceased by his sisters, Marcia Quinlan (Kevin), Karen Arrigenna (Jim), MaryJane Stoltman (Paul); sister-in-law, Susan Dougherty and brothers, Jim (Eileen) and John.

Jerry’s love for life, his family, his friends, his faith, his fellow Rotarians and anyone walking down the street willing to strike up a conversation was a contagious gi that was irresistible. ere was never a time that a party of 5 to 500 wasn’t called for, as long as he could convince Kim to get out the invitations and pull together the right food. He just needed time to make sure he had enough Baileys and Jameson on hand and to fastidiously manicure his lawn.

Which, of course, meant engaging his longest and most loyal friend, Ernie, and his dedicated helper, Luke.

Jerry, with his faithful better half, Kim, by his side, was an unstoppable force for good times, great laughs and generous giving. Most notably this was seen in his passion and commitment to his community as a Rotarian, living the motto “Service Above Self” every day. But, if you were lucky enough to be brought into the ‘family,’ whether by blood, sharing a Baileys, a Notre Dame bus trip or simply showing up for his favorite 3rd of July celebrations on the lake, you knew and felt his love of life, his goodwill and loyal friendship. Like Kim, he was also the beloved “American parent” to so many foreign exchange students and used that opportunity to learn about and travel the world. He treasured his years of both morning co ee at the Village restaurant and a ernoon co ee at Pizzaland. More recently the stories stemmed from “the lunch bunch” and an a ernoon co ee at Ernie and Joanne’s.

Jerry’s was a life well-lived and leaves many stories to be told of Adirondack summer vacations, shing and skiing trips with his buddies, holiday parties and beautiful sunsets on the Florida beach. While he leaves countless friends and family to remember him, Jerry le this world to celebrate with the countless many treasured family and friends with whom we know he is already having a party. You are invited to celebrate with family and friends, as he did for so many and as only he would have it. Calling hours will be Sunday, February 26, 2023 from 2-6PM at the Stephenson – Dougherty Funeral Home, 350 Genesee Street, Avon. His Funeral Mass will be held Monday, February 27, 2023 at 11:30AM at St. Agnes Church, 96 Prospect Street, Avon. Interment St. Agnes Cemetery, Avon. Donations in his honor may be made to the Avon Food Pantry.

All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.

IMPROVE ALERTNESS DURING THE WORKDAY

Snack healthy. Professionals who find themselves needing a snack in the mid- to lateafternoon can sate their hunger and give themselves an energy boost by snacking healthy. Avoid snacks like potato chips that tend to be high in fat and low in nutrition. Foods that are high in fiber and/or protein can provide a longer energy boost and quell the afternoon hunger pangs at the same time. Fresh fruit and Greek yogurt fit the bill.

EFFICIENCY AT WORK

We are a top performing skilled nursing facility that promotes a high quality of care. We are seeking supportive, team-orientated, caring, and compassionate individuals to join our team. Applications can be completed online at: www.leroyvillagegreen.com or in person at LeRoy Village Green

10 Munson Street LeRoy, NY 14482

Employment is contingent on successful completion of pre-placement physical and criminal background.

Diversity creates a healthier atmosphere.

People with multiple hobbies recognize there are many great ways to spend one’s time. But even people with plenty of ways to pass their time may find themselves wasting time each day, a phenomenon that seems to be growing.

In its 2014 “Wasting Time at Work” survey, Salary.com found that 89 percent of participants acknowledged wasting time at work each day. That marked a sharp increase from a year prior, when 69 percent of workers surveyed reported wasting time at work. Thirty-one percent of workers surveyed admitted wasting roughly 30 minutes per day, while another 31 percent estimated they waste around one hour each day. Perhaps the most surprising finding from the survey was that 4 percent of participants admitted they waste four or more hours, or at least half a typically eight-hour workday, at work each day. Some people might be wasting time out of sheer boredom, but many may be able to trace all those squandered minutes and hours to inefficiency.
