RESOLVE TO WEAR CLOTHES THAT FIT IN THE YEAR AHEAD Bra measurements are hard to come by, no doubt thanks in part to the nature of getting measured in such an intimate area of the body.

But considering undergarments set the foundation for all clothing worn on top, this is one of the more important measurements to verify.

Enlist the help of a friend or family member to make measurements go more smoothly.

Here’s a Tip * If you like taking baths, you can invest in a second rubber bath mat to drape over the side of the tub. The edge will be nonslip, so you can hold on for support and your hands will not slide. * Sunburn happens in the winter too, especially on the slopes. Use a cotton ball soaked in cold tea to ease tight dry skin. Be sure you apply sunscreen to your face and wear eye protection when going out to play in the snow. * For drains slowed by grease, sprinkle a half-cup each of salt and baking soda down the drain, and follow it with an entire kettle or pot of boiling water. * If the smell in your cedar chest has faded, you can bring it back easily with extra-fine sandpaper. A very light sanding is all it takes in most cases. (c) 2023 King Features Synd., Inc.

STORING TOOLS PROPERLY REDUCES INJURY RISK AND PROMOTES ORGANIZATION Whether homeowners have a handful of tools or an entire collection of equipment, proper storage of these items means the difference between staying organized and safe or having to waste time looking for tools and running the risk of injury.

Tools often gravitate to other rooms of the house or become misplaced.

When they’re brought out for use, tools may not be returned to the toolbox or shed, taking up residence in drawers or closets or just being left out in the open.

Improper storage of tools also may create safety risks for the persons doing the renovation and other members of the household. The Consumer Product Safety Commission warns that hundreds of thousands of injuries treated at emergency rooms are related to power tools and workshop equipment. While the majority of these injuries occur while using the tools, improper tool storage can still cause injury.

By taking care of tools and keeping them orderly, homeowners can lengthen the life expectancy of their tools and reduce the likelihood of tool-related injury.

TIPS FOR STAYING SAFE AND CONNECTED DURING A MOVE (NAPSI) — Planning a move can be stressful, but planning a move in the midst of an unprecedented pandemic brings a new set of challenges. Stay safe and connected with some smart pre-move planning; here are some tips:

Online

Follow Approved Protocols — If you can’t postpone your move, take extra precautions before moving in to ensure your new place is clean. Follow general disinfecting guidelines set forth by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Among other surfaces, disinfect doors, door handles, bathrooms, kitchen appliances, countertops and—something many people don’t really think about—cabinet and doorknobs as well as light switches.

Safely Stay Connected — New work-from-home protocols and online schooling mean reliable Internet connectivity is more important than ever. Prior to your move, SmartMove can connect you to your local provider and help arrange new Touchless Installs that let you safely connect your tech services yourself. Cable companies deliver equipment with step-by-step activation information so you can set up your system on your own, or with support over the phone, online, through chat functionality or video tutorials. In most cases, no technician will need to enter your home.

Keep in Touch & Maintain Daily Routines — You may be staying in more, but don’t forget to take a break from unpacking boxes. Use your new online connection to find delivery services to help stock your pantry and fridge and refill prescriptions. Your new house will feel more like home if you take time to watch your favorite shows, maintain your exercise program or explore online courses that can help you discover new talents or resume old hobbies. Don’t forget to connect with friends through group video chats or viewing parties—you can even take your friends and family on a virtual tour of your new place!

POLL What area landmarks do you fondly remember that have changed dramatically or disappeared over the years?

- Highland Park’s Children’s Pavilion - Ice skating at Xerox Square’s rink - Midtown Plaza - Roseland Park - Sibley Square - The Can of Worms Poll Ends 1-9-2024

Poll Ended 1-2-2024 According to Forbes, the most popular goals for 2024 are fairly predictable. Which of the following most popular goals would you like to focus on in the New Year?

23.1% Improved finances 7.7% Improved fitness 15.4% Improved mental health 38.5% Improved physical health (lose weight, improve diet) 15.4% Less addiction/bad habits

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Blood Bank Turns Away Donor With High Iron Levels ---

DEAR DR. ROACH: Recently, I was rejected from donating plasma (not blood) because my iron that day was 57 mcmol/L, and the maximum allowable was 54 mcmol/L. I was rescheduled to get retested in a few days. The technician said to eat beans and similar foods to lower my iron levels.

I checked my own records and didn’t find any results that fell below the cutoff. My red blood cell count was 5.15; my white blood cell count was 6.0; my hemoglobin level was 16.1 g/dL; and my hematocrit level was 48.5%, all within the healthy range.

Which test results could they be referring to, and how do I lower my iron? -- S.L. ANSWER: Blood banks typically screen donors for anemia, which is frequently caused by iron deficiency, but I’m confused as to why they are screening you with iron tests because that is typically not done.

Moreover, they are telling you that your iron is too high, which is the opposite of the iron-deficiency anemia that is usually looked for.

I recommend that you see your own physician and get retested. If we take the blood bank at their word, and your iron level is too high, that raises the possibility of hereditary hemochromatosis (HH), which is caused by a defect of iron absorption. With this condition, your body absorbs as much iron as possible, even if it doesn’t need any. This causes iron overload, which damages the heart, liver, bone marrow, adrenal glands, skin and joints, just to name a few.

HH is easy to treat once the diagnosis is made.

However, making the diagnosis requires thinking about the possibility, and it’s uncommon enough that a lot of healthcare professionals don’t think about it right away. Your doctor should test your iron and ironbinding capacity, as well as your ferritin level, which tends to correlate with the total amount of body iron stores.

But I don’t want to jump to conclusions, which is why your own doctor should test you to see if you really do have excess iron. ***

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

UNDERSTANDING DEMENTIA Dementia presents itself through various symptoms, and memory loss alone is not enough to lead to a dementia diagnosis. Dementia can affect thinking and social abilities, but the Mayo Clinic notes that some dementias may be reversible. The following are some common symptoms of dementia: • Trouble communicating or finding words.

• Difficulty completing complex tasks.

• Challenges with planning and organization.

• Episodes of confusion and disorientation.

• Memory loss, which is often noticed by a third party.

• Personality changes that can include agitation, anxiety, inappropriate behavior and even hallucinations.

Apart from Alzheimer’s disease, which is a progressive disorder most common in people age 65 and older, there are other types of dementia.

The second most common is called “vascular dementia.” This results from damage to vessels that supply blood to the brain. This damage can be the result of stroke, smoking and other blood vessel conditions. Brain imaging can often detect blood vessel problems implicated in vascular dementia.

Dementia with Lewy bodies, or DLB, is another dementia that laymen may mistake for Alzheimer’s disease. The Alzheimer’s Association notes that people with DLB often have not only memory loss and cognitive problems common in Alzheimer’s, but they also display initial or early symptoms such as sleep disturbances, well-formed visual hallucinations, slowness, gait imbalance or other Parkinsonian movement features, which can lead to misdiagnosis.

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

How to Give Your Pet a Healthy, Happy New Year

Gemma. She doesn’t like visitors, humans or other live pets but she warms up to these friends.

Cats only meow to human friends. In addition to purring, cats will rub up against people to show affection. This trait also serves to mark territory.

Cats have scent glands around their faces, paws and tail area.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: This week, many Americans are celebrating their newest gift to the family: a cute puppy or kitten, duck or chicken, or pocket pets like hamsters and guinea pigs.

It’s also a time to form new resolutions in anticipation of the New Year.

I hope that new pet owners’ first resolution will be to establish a relationship with a veterinarian with expertise in their specific pet. Some pets need to start or continue a vaccination schedule so they grow up healthy -- puppies are at risk of contracting parvovirus, for example, so bolstering their immune system is very important.

Your vet can also provide advice and tips for caring for pets.

Guinea pigs, hamsters and rabbits communicate happiness or distress in unique ways that a new owner may not be familiar with. Puppies are wiggly and energetic. Kittens are curious and fearless. Vets can help new owners navigate these waters and provide regular checkups to help keep pets healthy. -- Dedicated Vet in Boston DEAR DEDICATED: Thank you for sending this! Establishing a care routine with a veterinarian is so important. It should sit at the top of owners’ to-do lists, along with providing comfortable warm bedding, a clean and safe environment, and especially for puppies, a daily training routine. Mark your calendar with key dates, including checkups with the vet, appointments with a trainer and regular resupply of food, litter, bedding and everything else your new pet needs.

IT PAYS TO USE CRATES WHEN TRAINING PUPPIES Many dog owners, particularly those who have never before had a dog, may hesitate to employ crates to train their puppies. That’s understandable, as on the surface it can seem cruel or inhumane to confine a living animal to a cage. However, the AKC notes that dogs are den animals that naturally seek out canine caves for security. That’s true whether dog owners provide crates for their puppies or not. So while humans may see crates as cruel, dogs very likely view their crates as secure places where they can go if they get scared or feel skittish. In fact, according to the AKC, dogs’ perception of crates is one reason why dog owners typically find it relatively easy to get their dogs to adjust to crates and ultimately enjoy them.

Competitive Wages • Benefits Growth/Advancement Opportunities GET A HANDLE ON WORK-RELATED STRESS Speak up about your stress. As noted, stress at the workplace can affect workers’ performance, which employers are looking to optimize.

Workers can speak to their employers if they feel their work environments are conducive to stress. Work in tandem with an employer to develop time-saving strategies that make it easier to get work done on time.

Supervisors may encourage employees to delegate more often, freeing up time to get their work done. Employers may also direct employees to wellness resources that can help them more effectively combat stress.

The outcomes of such discussions may never be known if workers never take the initiative and speak up about their stress.

WORKING PARENTS CAN CREATE BETTER WORK-LIFE BALANCE Many working parents struggle to maintain a healthy balance between their responsibilities at work and their obligations to their families. An inability to maintain that healthy balance can have adverse effects on men and women’s careers as well as the relationships they have with their families.

A 2015 survey of more than 2,000 adults commissioned by the workplace solution provider Workfront found that 38 percent of survey participants have missed life events because of a bad work-life balance. Access to technology that means work is never too far away might contribute to poor work-life balance, as 57 percent of respondents also acknowledged feeling that technology has ruined the definition of a family dinner.

Finding a healthy balance between work and life at home may require a concerted effort on the part of working parents, but there are ways to successfully juggle a career and family.

Apply to Rush-Henrietta Schools at www.rhnet.org FINDING WORK AFTER 50 Unemployment isn’t easy for anyone, regardless of their age. But unemployed men and women over 50 may find it especially difficult to find work.

Whether it’s a byproduct of age-related discrimination or any of a host of additional variables, jobless older workers often struggle to find work. In a 2016 analysis of government figures, the Schwartz Center for Economic Policy Analysis at the New School estimated that the jobless rate for workers 55 and older in August of 2016, six years after the Great Recession, was nearly 9 percent. At the time, the national jobless rate hovered around 5 percent.

Unemployed men and women over 50 who are struggling to find work can consider the following strategies as they look to rejoin the workforce.

Revisit your résumé. Unemployed men and women over 50 have no doubt updated their résumés to reflect their most recent professional experience.

But they may need to trim some of the fat in regard to their work life 10 or more years ago. Today’s hiring managers may only be concerned with recent experience that illustrates skillsets that are relevant to today’s jobs.

Men and women over 50 may consider their experience from 20 years ago invaluable, but if that experience does not meet the specific needs of the jobs they’re now seeking, then they should remove it from their résumés so hiring managers can quickly access the more relevant information from their work histories.

Embrace 21st century job hunting. Finding a job in the second decade of the 21st century is unlike job hunting in decades prior, and wholly different from how men and women over 50 looked for jobs upon beginning their professional lives. Networking can mean the difference between unemployment and landing a job. Go to job fairs attended by hiring managers and join professional organizations that host events where professionals in your field can gather.

Turn your age into a positive. Men and women over 50 should accept the likelihood that their new managers and/or hiring managers will be younger than them. When interviewing for a job, men and women over 50 should make an effort to showcase their enthusiasm about working with and learning from younger colleagues, while also noting their desire to commit long-term to a company. Some hiring managers may surprise older applicants, viewing them as potentially more reliable than younger workers simply looking to gain some experience in a particular industry before moving on to the next opportunity.

Make use of your existing down time. Another strategy unemployed men and women over 50 can try as they look for work is to make better use of their existing downtime. Enrolling in online courses can give prospective employers the impression that applicants over 50 are both tech-savvy and willing to learn new things. Each of those things can help men and women over 50 overcome any unjustified, tech-related stigmas that hiring managers may attach to older job candidates.

Finding work after 50 is not always easy, and job seekers may need to adjust their approach before they can get back in the workforce.

Holiday Good Samaritans Save the Day I wish to thank 3 VERY kind people when our car died at Wegmans Holt Rd parking lot Sat., 12/30 at 10:30AM. I foolishly left my phone at home with my AAA contact info.

A Gretchen’s Hallmark clerk let me use her phone to call my sister who wasn’t home. A Wegmans customer service person was very eager to help IF I couldn’t find a cable jump from another car in the lot. While I was in Wegmans, a man saw my husband with the hood up and offered a jump (he refused payment). The car started immediately and these 2 panic stricken seniors were SO relieved at the ‘kindness of strangers.’

Blessings to all of you and may I be so lucky to “pay this kindness forward!”

The Coffee Press - 12/20/23 @ 9:10AM I wanted to say thank you to a kind stranger who assisted me at The Coffee Press on 12/20/2023 at around 9:10-9:25AM. I was at The Coffee Press where they had frosted Christmas cookies displayed. I grabbed one and when I went to pay for it, I was told that it was Cash Only. As I was about to exit The Coffee Press a young man who was another customer stopped me and handed me a cookie and wished me a Merry Christmas. What this individual did not know at that moment was that I was trying to buy the cookie for my mom, who is in the final stages of dementia. Those frosted cookies are one of the few things that she enjoys and that’s why I wanted to purchase one to bring to her. She enjoyed them immensely. Unfortunately in my rush, I do not feel that I thanked this kind stranger enough and hope to return the favor and hope someone can help me.

The person was in their 20s, dark-haired and accompanied by a couple of friends.

Thanks! AP.

Get Off Your Cell Phone While shopping at our local big box store I ran into a mini traffic (shopping cart) jam. Four people trying to get down an isle at the same time.

We were all patiently waiting for a lady to move over then realized she was on her cell phone, oblivious to others. Finally, one squeezed past her and had the audacity to touch carts going through. The look she gave him was ridiculous!

I honestly believe if she said anything to him he would’ve grabbed her phone and thrown it across the store. If you’re on your phone, move out of the way. Plus nobody wants to listen to your conversations!

New Medical Building Needs Improvements The cavernous, centralized out-of-town medical building lacks aged/disabled community information. Barrier free, and medical bus transport parking information needs to become disseminated. Hours, phone numbers, and floor locations of these various, now centralized medical offices need to become publicly well-advertised.

While centralized services may be useful in urban areas, rural villages' smaller, convenient, local offices are at an unfortunate loss, especially with this region's tricky weather. Telephone calls to one's primary provider receptionists are often on hold for one half hour to make an appointment, which is much too long. These improvements could be implemented without great cost to corporate and make this behemoth more responsive to this aged, agrarian community's medical needs.
