MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel * On Jan. 11, 1973, the owners of America’s 24 major league baseball teams vote to allow teams in the American League to use a “designated pinch-hitter” that could bat for the pitcher, while still allowing the pitcher to stay in the game.

TIPS FOR REALIZING GOALS IN THE YEAR AHEAD The dawn of a new year represents a chance to start anew and set goals for the months ahead. New Year’s resolutions are often made to provide the motivation people need to improve their lives and make a new year as productive and happy as possible.

While people who make New Year’s resolutions fully intend to realize those goals, few actually stick to the game plan. According to researchers at the University of Scranton, just 8 percent of people who make their New Year’s resolutions actually achieve those resolutions. While that might make it seem like the odds are against men and women who have resolved to improve their lives in the year ahead, adults can realize their goals for the new year and beyond.

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.

H(c) 2023 King Features Synd., Inc.

Send your tips, comments or questions to ask@pawscorner.com. .

Send us a photo! and a brief write-up of your pet and we’ll feature it!

Submit at: gvpennysaver.com under Share With Us or mail to: P.O. Box 340, Avon, NY 14414.

Pets will be published at discretion of GVPS.

DID YOU KNOW ?

Refresh Your Home for Spring Eliminate the extras While you’re freshening up the house, it’s the perfect time to purge unwanted and unused items, but remember that items in good condition can actually do good for those in need. By donating clothing, electronics, furniture, household goods and vehicles to be sold in The Salvation Army Family and Thrift Stores, you can help transform lives in your local community. A good rule of thumb: if you haven’t used it in the last year and it doesn’t have special sentimental value, it’s probably time to let it go.

Exercise is a great w ay to maintain a healthy mind and body. M any people begin a new year by making resolutions to lose w eight or build musc le. Too often, how ever, men and w omen get stuck in an exercise rut, follow ing the same exercise routine w eek after w eek. Not only can this be boring, fitness experts advise that it’s nec essary to c hange an exercise routine periodically to continue to see results. It’s one reason w hy many fitness clubs unveil new classes every few w eeks. Just w hen you master the choreography of a class, it’s time to change! W ith repetition, the body adapts and grow s accustomed to the routine, using less energy as a result. That can affect your ability to lose w eight.

Changing your w orkout forces your body to w ork harder, producing better results. If you exercise w ith a trainer, discuss w ays to modify your normal routine to surprise your body.

Inc reased intensity, interval training, adding sprints to running, taking different classes, or even increasing the frequency of your w orkouts may do the trick.

The winning pet will have $50 donated to a local animal shelter in his/her name.

COMMON CAUSES OF TOOTHACHES

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

Damaged fillings or dental sealants: When fillings or sealants come out, vulnerable parts of the teeth become exposed. This can result in pain.

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.

TAME STRESS AND IMPROVE HEALTH Stress can affect people of any age. While small amounts of stress may stimulate adrenaline responses and help people power through difficult projects or solve problems, chronic stress can impact the mind and body in harmful ways.

WebMD defines stress as any change in the environment that requires the body to react and adjust in response. The body may react to stress physically, emotionally and/or mentally. Positive stress, called eustress, can take the form of getting a new job with greater responsibilities.

However, it’s the bad stress - distress - that can cause tension and other negative consequences.

Money, health and relationships are some of the common contributors to stress in the United States. Seventy-seven percent of Americans regularly experience physical symptoms caused by stress, and 73 percent experience psychological symptoms from stress. Statistics Canada indicated that, in 2014, the most recent year for which data is available, 23 percent of Canadians ages 15 and older (6.7 million people) reported that most days were “quite a bit” or “extremely” stressful.

Stress can have many implications. When the body is stressed, muscles tense up and chronic stress can cause the muscles in the body to stay taut and tense for long periods of time, says the American Psychological Association. This may lead to tension headaches and musculoskeletal disorders.

The Mayo Clinic advises that stress can cause fatigue, changes in sex drive, stomach upset, and difficulty sleeping. Stress also affects mood, potentially resulting in lack of motivation or focus, anxiety, sadness, and/ or angry outbursts.

Healthline links chronic stress to behaviors such as overeating, not eating enough, alcohol or drug abuse, and social withdrawal.

Reducing stress is a priority for many people. Although it is not an easy undertaking, slowly removing stressors from one’s life and taking steps toward changing one’s responses to stressful situations can help. There are many stress-management strategies, and not every one is right for all individuals. However, the following techniques may be helpful.

• Exercise: Regular physical activity can help reduce stress.

• Meditation: Mindful meditation, deep breathing, yoga, and tai chi are ways to focus the brain away from stressful situations.

• Socialization: Talking and spending time with friends or family can relieve stress.

• Hobbies: Crafts, hobbies and other engaging activities can direct attention away from stress.

• Talk therapy: Seeing a therapist may help some people work through stress and discover additional techniques to change how they respond to stress.

• Situation changes: Changing a job, residence or a condition that removes a source of stress may be handy.

Many people suffer from stress, which can be very harmful if not dealt with healthily and readily.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

By Lucie Winborne * The first footprints on the moon will remain there for a million years.

Keep track of your progress. Keep a resolutions journal or start a blog that allows you to write about your efforts. If your goal is to pay down debt, make a spreadsheet that tracks your progress.

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

Susan B. Anthony House: A Glimpse into the Heart of Suffrage History

BY SUZIE WELLS

I

n preparation for the upcoming Day of History competition, my daughter and her groupmates recently joined their teacher at Rochester’s Susan B. Anthony house. Thankfully, the group didn’t mind me and another daughter tagging along for the tour that day. What a treasure right in town!

Unassuming from the outside (though a little taller than expected, and we learned Anthony’s team outgrew the space and raised the roof to add a third floor so the team could have more space), I would never have imagined 17 Madison St. held such a treasure. On our visit, we toured the spaces Anthony, her family, and her suffragist team called home through those incredible years. The preservation and education organization has done an incredible job bringing history alive for visitors. Their goal/vision statement of inspiring others through Anthony’s life and work truly seems effective.

Born in Adams, MA in 1820, the second of seven children, Anthony attended school in Battenville, NY but she and her sister were pulled from school when their father Daniel learned the girls weren’t allowed to learn the same subjects as the boys. The Anthony family then opened their own home to serve as a school, teaching boys and girls as equals. The family moved to Rochester in 1845, and the following year Susan began teaching at Canajoharie Academy.

The Anthony household became a meeting place for anti-slavery activists such as Frederick Douglass. In 1851, Anthony attended an anti-slavery convention in Seneca Falls, and the rest was history.

Never one to allow someone else to tell her what to think or say, Anthony met with Amelia Bloomer (founder of the very-practical pants, allowing women freedom of movement with their attire) and listened to impassioned speeches at the convention. There, she also met Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

Anthony and Stanton ended up quite the pair as the movement gained traction. Anthony is known for her confidence, her courage in the face of adversity, her legal expertise, and her poignant speeches. The SBA House docent shared a few nuggets such as Anthony’s purposeful choice to always wear modest, no frills, black and white acceptably feminine outfits so her audience would pay attention to her ideas and not simply comment on or criticize her for statement-making attire, such as happened when Bloomer and other such revolutionaries tried to share their opinions but with socially unacceptable bloomers on.

Anthony, her sister Mary, and their mother Lucy, moved into the Madison St. home in 1865 as tenants. Lucy purchased the home a year later, and Mary purchased it from her mother in 1873. Susan purposefully never married, so she could focus on her anti-slavery and women’s rights campaign, free to travel solo and spread the word. Traveling often by train or coach, Anthony traveled light but became known for her purse.

swim,” and they call for the doctor, the nurse, and the lady with the alligator purse. Over the years, I had forgotten how the rhyme went, except that versions always had the lady with the alligator purse prescribe something other than penicillin or aspirin as the doctor and nurse did (I seem to remember she prescribes pizza). According to the docent, the rhyme ends with the lady with the alligator purse saying “Vote!” We should all treasure our freedom and rights to vote by educating ourselves on the issues of the day, and making our voices heard through the ballot box as women such as Anthony worked hard to attain.

“One of the world’s greatest revolutionaries,” Anthony was famously arrested in Rochester in 1872 for voting when it was not yet socially acceptable (and debatably legal) for women to do so.

As the docent explained, Anthony happily let herself be arrested instead of quietly paying a fine and being scolded. As she awaited trial, she continued to lecture and spread ideas of women’s and African American rights, stirring up so much controversy that she had to be tried in the next county over. Hence, the Ontario County Courthouse in Canandaigua famously hosted her trial.

Anthony’s trial itself caused controversy. She was fined $100 after the judge refused to hear Anthony’s arguments and ordered the jury to find her guilty. However, as the docent explained with a laugh, Anthony never paid that fine because she felt it unjust.

Anthony died in 1906, unfortunately years before women officially attained the right to vote, but to this day, women across Rochester trek to Mt. Hope Cemetery, placing their I Voted stickers on her grave, paying homage and thanking Anthony for her hard work and service.

February 7th, the organization celebrates Anthony’s birthday “in the same way [she] hosted her birthday celebrations during her lifetime; this will be an opportunity to encourage one another in the pursuit of equality and give in support of the mission.” Explore the “Tracks of Change” laid by Susan B. Anthony that guide us to a stronger, more just community,” as the organization says.

What an incredible historical resource we have right in the city.

Upstairs in Anthony’s office, when the docent showed us Anthony’s iconic alligator purse and recollected the children’s rhyme of Miss Lulu (I remember Miss Lucy or even Miss Suzie, which was fun, because my own name was in a song not made up by me) and her baby, Tiny Tim, who she “put in the bathtub to see if he could

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.

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.

Follow up with colleagues you’ve worked with in the past to see if there’s anything you can do for them or to check in on how a project you discussed with them is going. Staying in touch can shed light on job opportunities or open other doors that might facilitate your job search.

Determine how much space you truly need. Current business owners and prospective owners can save substantial amounts of money and avoid wasting energy by giving ample thought to how much office space they truly need. Large office spaces may not be necessary for businesses that recently downsized staff, while those starting out may want to start in small spaces before upgrading to larger spaces if and when their businesses expand. Small business owners leasing their office space can speak with their leasing agents to determine if they can include a clause in their lease that allows them to move into larger spaces if the need arises before their existing leases expire.

DID YOU KNOW?

CALL TO REGISTER: (585) 344-7704 RELOCATING FOR A NEW JOB Inquire about relocation assistance. The Allied survey found that 63 percent of companies offered relocation packages. That’s a considerable perk, as moving can be expensive, especially for adults moving to different parts of the country. Asking about relocation expenses before being offered a job can be tricky, but some companies may mention such packages in their job ads or in their initial meetings with out-of-town candidates.

According to Gallup’s 2021 Economy and Personal Finance survey, the average individual in the United States is retiring earlier than many people might expect. Gallup found that the average retirement age was 62, which is two years earlier than the working respondents indicated they planned to retire. Canadians are retiring a little bit later than their American counterparts, as Statistics Canada reports the average retirement age in Canada is just over 63 and a half. The average retirement age is worth noting, as studies routinely find that many working professionals greatest concern about retiring is that they won’t have enough money saved to meet their needs. By recognizing that they may end up retiring earlier than they initially planned, professionals can make a concerted effort to save more money in the years ahead.
