HOME HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING

And so by degrees the winter wore away... and the chill, bitter, windy, early spring came round. The comic almanacks give us dreadful pictures of January and February; but, in truth, the months which should be made to look gloomy in England are March and April. Let no man boast himself that he has got through the perils of winter till at least the seventh of May.

~Anthony Trollope (1815–1882), The Chronicles of Barsetshire, Vol. III: Doctor Thorne, “Chapter XLVII: How the Bride Was Received, and Who Were Asked to the Wedding,” 1858

Our life is March weather, savage and serene in one hour. We go forth austere, dedicated, believing in the iron links of Destiny, and will not turn on our heel to save our life: but a book, or a bust, or only the sound of a name, shoots a spark through the nerves, and we suddenly believe in will...

FUN FACTS W O R L D WILDLIFE DAY

This date marks the day the UN signed the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.

I am the smallest of my living species. I have the narrowest black stripes of any of my subspecies and I am also the darkest in orange compared to other subspecies. I weigh 260 lbs on average and grow up to 8ft long.

Why is World Wildlife Day important? We all share one planet. Ensuring Earth remains a thriving, living, breathing planet means taking care of everything in it. Overfishing can result in disastrous economic problems for coastal communities dependent on the trade. The loss of a species can lead to changes in the local environment, which can directly a ect the humans living there. Wildlife conservation is an integral part of creating a sustainable world.

I have a paler coat than most subspecies of my kind, and large, dark, widely spaced rosettes with thick, unbroken rings. They weigh 70-105 pounds. I have a thick coat that can grow as long as 7 centimeters in winter.

I am one of the world’s largest living primates. I have muscular arms, a massive chest, and broad hands and feet — and longer hair and shorter arms than my lowland cousins. My thick black hair helps insulate from cold weather.

I reach a shoulder height of between 6.6 and 10.5 ft, weigh between 4,400 and 8,800 lbs, and have 20 pairs of ribs. I typically have smaller tusks. My skin color is lighter than that of maximus and indicus with the least depigmentation.

You may think my skin is black, but it is dark gray or dark brown. I am 10.812.0 ft long and 1,760-3,080 lbs. I have a large head, short neck and short, thick legs. I also have a prehensile, pointed upper lip.

My habitat consists of the lowland rainforests and tropical, swamp, and mountain forests on the island of Borne. I have a round face with a dark red coat. I have strong hands and hand-like feet, along with flexible hips and long arms that allow me to live primarily in treetops.

NEW WAY TO SAVE ALL SHELTER PETS

(NAPSI)—The lives of nearly 733,000 cats and dogs could be saved with the help of caring humans and an innovative Web-based platform introduced this week by Best Friends Animal Society.

Envisioned as a tool to help animal lovers help their communities save more pets, the new community lifesaving dashboard combines groundbreaking data visualization technology with the most comprehensive data set on animal welfare ever published.

Two years in the making, the tool crowdsources, validates and translates complex data about the dogs and cats in U.S.shelters.

It brings an unprecedented level of transparency to the animal welfare movement, unlocking new opportunities for saving pets by providing a detailed picture showing precisely—on a city, state and community level—where cats and dogs need to be saved.

For the first time, anyone with a smartphone or computer will be able to easily access his or her community’s snapshot of how many cats and dogs need to be saved and find tools to help individual shelters save more pets. The organization used independent research, government data and even FOIA requests to create the most comprehensive data set on animal welfare ever published.

Best Friends CEO Julie Castle says the investment in data was necessary to achievetheorganization’sgoalofbringing thewholecountryno-killby2025.

“Up until two years ago,we didn’t even know how many shelters existed,” she said.“Howcanyoupossiblysaveallthe animals if you don’t even know how many need to be saved?

“With this data in hand, our goal to save every savable pet by 2025 is finally within reach,” Castle said. To explore the community lifesaving dashboard,visit BestFriends.org/2025.

Clicker Training Can Help Your Dog Love to Learn

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: What is the value of training dogs using a clicker? I have tried using a clicker to train my dog Atlas, but he didn’t listen very well. When should I click at him -- when he’s misbehaving? Or when he’s doing something right? And how can he tell? --

John H., Spring eld, Massachusetts

DEAR JOHN: Clicker training, or “mark and reward” training, can seem almost magical in terms of how quickly and enthusiastically a dog learns. But that magic only happens when it’s being done correctly.

Basically, you press the clicker device when your dog does precisely the thing that you are trying to train him to do. And you follow up immediately (like, within a second) with a reward -- usually a little bit of a treat. So, here’s how it is done:

-- Decide on one behavior that you want your dog to learn in your training session. Start with a basic behavior, like “sit,” “come here,” “lie down” or “give paw.”

-- Give Atlas the command. If he doesn’t follow the command, don’t click.

-- As soon as he follows the command, click once and give him a little treat.

-- Repeat the process again and again until he follows the command immediately.

By associating the clicker noise with a command and a reward, Atlas will quickly build a positive association with the command. is works for many types of training, from basic obedience to agility to job-speci c commands. But you start with just one command at a time.

Also, consider working with a trainer, either one on one or in a group training setting. You’ll pick up many training skills quickly. It’s worth the investment.

Preowned Items Can Be Good For The Environment

Scan local advertisements: Church bulletins, newspaper classified ads and online bullet boards typically boast a number of items for sale, many of which are being sold at a fraction of the cost of new items. Before embarking on shopping trips, check these advertisements to see if there are any preowned items that meet your needs.

In addition, there are a number of social media groups that enable members to advertise their items for sale. Others are encouraged to inquire about the sales and make their own offers. Though it might take some effort, it is possible to get brand-name used merchandise for less.

Statins and Thiazides

Acutely Increase Blood Sugar, Risk of Diabetes

DEAR DR. ROACH: My question regards the results of my fasting glucose tests for the past couple of years. I am 81 and weigh around 150 pounds. The medications I am taking concern me, with relevance to the A1C levels of my quarterly blood work. My A1C levels have mostly been near mid-5%; the last showed 6%. Medications relevant to this that I am suspicious of are 100-12.5 mg of losartan/hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) and 20 mg of simvastatin. I have read that these medications can have an effect of raising blood glucose. My doctor is adamant that this does not exist, but it seems to me that there is a conflict on this. Should I perhaps ask him to change those medications because of my blood sugar? I am concerned about issues with the thiazide and the statin. -- P.R.

ANSWER: There isn’t a conflict. You are absolutely right that both simvastatin (like all statins) and HCTZ (like all thiazides) increase blood sugar and the risk of diabetes. The risk, however, is small. For thiazides, the risk of high blood sugar seems tied to potassium levels -- the lower the potassium, the higher the risk of diabetes. Interestingly, the losartan in combination with the HCTZ you are taking tend to raise potassium levels, so that combination may have a lower risk of worsening blood sugar levels than taking HCTZ alone. You are already taking the smallest effective dose of thiazide. The risk of statins seems greater in higher doses and with more potent statins, like atorvastatin and rosuvastatin; however, the risk is still small. About one person in 100 treated with a high-dose intensive statin, such as 40 mg of atorvastatin for five years, would be expected to get diabetes, while a dosage of 20 mg of simvastatin would be expected to have an even lower risk.

The conflict isn’t whether the increased risk exists (it does), but whether the treatments to prevent heart attack and stroke are worth the increased risk. For nearly all people, the benefit of keeping blood pressure and cholesterol under control greatly outweighs the small increased risk of diabetes.

Given your normal A1C level, I would say your risk is low, and I do not generally recommend changing treatment based on your concern over blood sugar.

SENIOR NEWS

By Matilda Charles Shrink ation: Beating em at eir Own Game

“Shrink ation.” at’s a word that’s been in the news lately, and one that we need to pay attention to.

We know prices are increasing on our groceries. We see it every time we look at the price tags on the shelves when we shop, and certainly at the checkout. But shrink ation is a di erent thing and can be harder to spot. Shrink ation is sneaky price increases.

In shrink ation, the prices don’t go up, but what we get comes down. is is impacting most things across grocery stores, including dairy, shampoo, meats, frozen foods, toilet paper, pet food, pastries, candy bars, laundry detergent, sliced cheese, tea bags ... well, everything.

Example: e price of a can of beans stays the same, but we get fewer ounces. Example: e price of a loaf of bread stays the same, but it’s smaller. Same with cereal, which you’ll have noticed when the box sizes changed.

In my case, one particular item (frozen meatballs) at my local store dropped from 64 meatballs to 56 ... fewer for the same money.

Keep an eye on the unit pricing on the tag on the grocery store shelf. Yes, it’s in tiny print (which is one reason to carry a small magnifying glass at all times), but the numbers will tell you the unit price per uid ounce, pound or count. Over time you’ll be able to see if you’re getting less for your money.

Look at generics to save money (and, in many cases, get a better product) or just change brands. Buy more than one if the price is good, but watch the expiration dates.

Lastly, consider signing up for a store’s loyalty card if you get cash bene ts for doing so, and sign up for the emailed weekly sales yer to shop from.

By shopping carefully, we can beat them at their own game.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

FAMILY-FRIENDLY WINTER ACTIVITIES

Snowman building: Perhaps no outdoor winter activity is more conducive to family fun than building a snowman. The season’s first substantial snowfall provides the perfect opportunity for parents and their children to start building some snowmen. While “snowman building” is unlikely to find its way onto any gym schedules, building a snowman provides a great workout. Lifting snow is great strength training, while pushing snow to form Frosty’s body is a great way to get in some cardiovascular exercise.

President Joe Biden’s initiative, aimed at providing targeted debt relief to millions of student-loan borrowers, is now before the Supreme Court. Opponents to the program say it amounts to an unlawful attempt to erase an estimated $430 billion of federal student loan debt under the guise of the pandemic. What side do you fall on regarding student loan forgiveness?

• The effects of the pandemic are still being felt by many Americans and I agree that loan forgiveness needs to happen.

• Students borrowed this money expecting to pay it back and should.

• Loan forgiveness is a noble idea but shouldn’t we fix the system first?

* If you have a plastic-bristle broom that is starting to get really ragged and it’s time to replace it, don’t get rid of it. Turn it into a scrub broom. Trim the bristles down to about an inch. You can even cut them at an angle. Then you can use this broom to scrub stubborn spots. The bristles are nice and tight when they are so short.

* Check your windshield wiper blades. Are they smeary? Before you replace them, use a paper towel and rubbing alcohol to clean the blades. They might have life left in them yet!

* Still fire season in your neck of the woods? Most of us know not to burn magazine inserts or anything plastic, but did you know that you CAN add some spice to your fire? Save the peel from your citrus fruits (oranges, tangerines, grapefruit -- even lemons and limes) to add to your fire. They burn well, and they smell great!

* “We had a piece of linoleum left over when we replaced the kitchen flooring. It was almost a perfect size to put over our picnic table. We use it for crafts and whenever we don’t want anything to fall through the boards. It stores neatly against the wall behind our outdoor shelves when we aren’t using it!”

-- R. in Minnesota

* If you have a light bulb that has broken off in the socket and you need to get it out to replace it, use needlenose pliers to grab the metal ring and unscrew it. Be sure to turn the light off first! If that doesn’t work, you might be able to use a bar of soap to grab any glass shards sticking out, and unscrew it that way.

* “When I put on my stockings, I put on my dish gloves first. It sounds silly, but I do not have any snags in my stockings, and the grip of the gloves makes them easy to pull up and adjust for a perfect fit.” -- W.M. in New York

FAMOUS HORSES

HOW TO STAY MENTALLY SHARP AFTER RETIREMENT

Make exercise part of your retirement routine. A lack of structure may seem enticing to individuals who have spent decades working. However, many retirees find that little structure loses it appeal quickly after calling it quits.When creating a new routine in retirement, include regular exercise. According to the Mayo Clinic, studies indicate that people who are physically active are less likely to experience a decline in their mental function. So daily exercise not only gives retirees something to do,but also benefits their brains.

ARNOLD, CHURCHVILLE DOG, NOMINATED FOR ROC TOP PET

BY LORI BRUTON

He may be a senior, but he sure is feisty.”

What else does the Verona Street Animal Society do besides the annual Roc Top Pet contest? Plenty. If you’re looking to adopt a pet, check their website to read available animals’ bios. Many of the pets at Verona are strays, so they may not have information regarding history, but each pet is examined by the clinical and technical teams to ensure the animal is healthy, ready for a home, and to provide as much information as possible.

Verona Street Animal Society also assists with lost and found pets. ey also help license, spay and neuter, provide rehoming support and pet safety assistance, as well as other assistance.

Pet Ale beer. e brewmasters from ree Heads Brewery will make a specialty blend to be featured at their brewery and in local Wegmans stores. Winners will be announced at a special release party in March.

e best prize is bragging rights and recognition from the community of the Top Pet. e rst prize winner will receive a custom-engraved Roc Top Pet plaque/cheese board, a six-pack of the dog’s new beer, a professional photo session, a decorated dog cookie box, a bandana, a canvas bag and pub glass, two general admission tickets to see the Wood Brothers and Shovels & Ropes at the Perinton Center Stage Amphitheater on June 11, Paw Balm, and a $20 gi card.

What a great way to raise funds for Verona Street Animal Society, which supports Rochester Animal Services. Last year, the Society raised over $32K for pets. ey help create safe neighborhoods, support the human-animal bond, and save and enhance human/animal lives.

A Churchville dog nominated for Roc Top Pet is Arnold, a Maltese. He is almost 16 years old. He enjoys hanging out on the porch and watching the world and people go by. Arnold loves watching the Bu alo Bills with his people. In the summertime, he loves being on the water in a boat with his humans. Arnold likes to be included in conversations around the home bar. Oh, and treats. He loves food. He is a little guy with a huge personality. Arnold is a loyal buddy.

JackieLewert,Arnold’sowner,said,“Arnoldhasbeenwithme since I graduated college. He has been with me through so many life events. He spent the rst year living in Churchville with me and my family. He was with me for my rst apartment, meeting my husband, Ian, walking down the aisle in our wedding, and moving back to Churchville when we bought our rst house in 2020. He likes to meander through Churchville Park with us.

Monetary and item donations are always welcome to help maintain and improve the comfort and care of the animals at the shelter. Donations also help provide access to resources for pet owners in under-served neighborhoods. All food and treat donations must be unopened. Drop o any donations at the shelter during business hours.

How else can you help? Volunteer at the shelter. Volunteers are essential to the success of the organization. Giving your time and hearts to the animals makes a big di erence in the organization’s mission. Many activities involve direct contact with the animals. ere are also other volunteer opportunities that provide supportive and administrative functions. Visit their volunteer page to nd the role perfect for you.

For more information on Verona Street Animal Society, visit https://www.vsas.org/ or call 585-428-7274.

When you are in Churchville, keep an eye out for Arnold. He’ll be glad to meet you.

Huge Thank You!

To the wonderful person who found my wallet at the plaza on Commerce Drive in Victor on February 18th and turned it in to a store. You have no idea how much you helped a stranger! My wallet contained my license, cash, gift cards and a charge card. Everything was still there. I will never forget your selflessness! You are a miracle to me.

The Stranger whose kindness restored my faith today!

I wanted to get my sincere thank you out to the gentleman who pulled me out of a slushy frozen mess in the parking lot near the ATM in Churchville today. After struggling trying to dig out my old beat up 2WD truck on my own for nearly half an hour to no avail... I wish I had taken the time to ask the gentleman’s name and shake his hand. Your kindness was truly unexpected and words cannot express how much you helped me not only get out of my predicament, but how much you improved my frustration and the somewhat angry and rude mood I had started my day with. Thank you so much for the assistance and for your kind words and demeanor. It meant more than you know.

Thank you

Many thanks to the kind and honest person who found my purse at Wegman’s and returned it to the customer service desk. Your action was much appreciated!

How clean is your street?

A big thumbs down to my neighbor who thinks it's his job to clean the street. Cleaning up debris in the street is good; dumping it in your neighbor’s yard, not so good. Now this is not trash. It is ice and snow buildup along the curb. It's not in anyone's way and it will melt. Now it's piled in my front yard along with all the dirt and stones that the plow has scraped up. It looks terrible and was totally unnecessary! Do you think when it melts he will come over and clean that up? No. So you're retired and bored, me too! The next time you feel the need to clean the street, please use your own yard as the dumping ground.

Stop turning small towns into the inner city

I moved out here a little over 10 years ago. I am so disappointed in how so many stores and restaurants are being built in the same parking lots. Like one in front of the other, looking like the big inner cities. Too many apartments now going up on every corner too. The bright lights in the store windows are awful and make it look like downtown pawn shops all along the main drag. Enough is enough, crime goes up and areas start to look like trash with all these businesses on top of each other. The rush hour is bad enough. The more you keep putting up here, the more traffic. Please leave some dignity to this town.

GET A HANDLE ON WORK-RELATED STRESS

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

The American Psychological Association notes that stressful workenvironmentscancontribute to a host of physical problems, including headache, sleep disturbances and short temper. Chronic stress can produce more serious consequences such as high blood pressure while also weakening sufferers’ immune systems. Stress at the workplace also can make it difficult to concentrate, which in turn can compromise workers’ abilities to perform at the peak of their abilities. That supports the notion that stress is a problem for both employees and employers. As a result, finding ways to reduce that stress should be a team effort. Getting a handle on stress can be difficult. Since so many people trace their stress to the jobs they needtogetby,theymightthinkit’s impossible to address that stress without derailing their careers. But there are a handful of ways for professionals to get a handle on their stress without negatively affecting their careers.

DID YOU KNOW?

Retirement can seem like it will never come for young professionals. But time can be a sieve,andretirementagecanarrive in the blink of an eye. Young adults who have not planned accordingly for retirement can find themselves infinancialstraitsatapointintheir lives when they want to kick back and enjoy themselves. Financial experts advise that financially solventpeopleshouldbeginsaving aggressively for their retirements early on. Ideally people should start saving in their 20s when they first leave school and begin their careers. The sooner one saves, the more time money has to grow. Vanguard says that the person who saves $4,500 per year over a career spanning 45 years can reach a goal of having more than $1 million in savings by the time he or she retires. Compounding interest and investment matches from employers can further secure professionals’financialfutures.

DID YOU KNOW?

AccordingtoGallup’s2021EconomyandPersonalFinancesurvey,theaverageindividual 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.

WARM UP WITH STEW ON COLD WINTER NIGHTS

Serves 6 generously

2 pounds beef shoulder, cut into 2-inch pieces (see note)

1 onion, cut into large dice

2 carrots, cut into large dice

2 stalks celery, cut into large dice

2 dried bay leaves

4 sprigs fresh thyme

7 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley

1/4 teaspoon black

peppercorns

1 bottle red wine

Salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon canola oil

1/4 pound slab bacon, cut into large dice

1/2 stick (4 tablespoons)

unsalted butter

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

4 cups beef stock

2 large Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into large dice

1. Put the beef chunks in a large bowl and add the onion, carrots and celery. In a piece of cheesecloth, tie together a bouquet of garni of the bay leaves, thyme, parsley, and peppercorns and add to the bowl. Pour in the bottle of wine. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator overnight, stirring the mixture once or twice over the course of the evening.

2. The next day, remove the meat from the marinade and dry the pieces in a shallow pan lined with several layers of paper towels. Remove the vegetables and reserve them separately, along with the bouquet garni. Reserve the wine. Season the beef with salt and pepper.

3. In a large Dutch oven over medium heat, warm the canola oil. Add the bacon and cook until browned and the fat is rendered, about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pot and set aside. In single-layer batches, brown the beef chunks on all sides, then set aside. Brown the reserved onions, carrots and celery, about 10 minutes. Add additional canola oil to the pot if there is not enough bacon fat to brown all of the beef and vegetables.

4. Return the beef to the pot with the vegetables and add 3 tablespoons of the butter. Sprinkle with the flour and cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes. Add the reserved wine and deglaze the pot, scraping up all the browned bits from the bottom. Add the bacon and stock and bring to a boil. Skim off the scum that rises to the top; once the scum is removed, add the bouquet garni. Simmer, covered, over medium-low heat until the beef is very tender, about 11/2 hours. Remove the bouquet garni.

5. Toward the end of the beef’s cooking time, bring the potatoes to a boil in a separate saucepan covered generously with salted water. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes.

6. In a medium sauté pan, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Add the pearl onions and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms to the onions and cook until both onions and mushrooms are golden brown, about 5 minutes longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

7. Serve the stew in bowls, garnished with the pearl onions, mushrooms and potatoes.

Note: When shopping for beef, you won’t find a cut labeled “beef shoulder” - what you want is either a chuck roast of some sort or, from a bit lower on the shoulder, a cut labeled either “arm roast” or “round bone roast.”
