Tri-County Edition - Genesee Valley Penny Saver 11-25-2022

is the gentlest, loveliest festival of the revolving yearand yet, for all that, when it speaks, its voice has strong authority.

Shopping locally is a great way to benefit your community and, in many instances, your bottom line. When consumers shop locally, they help stimulate their local economies, creating jobs for their neighbors by helping local businesses grow and thrive. Shopping locally also saves shoppers long trips to the mall that can waste expensive fuel, especially if consumers don’t find what they’re looking for. Shopping locally is especially important when the economy is struggling, as smaller businesses are not always as capable of bearing the brunt of a recession as larger ones.

Penny Saver

We both were rescues and our mom adopted us at different times, but we love each other a lot. We play all the time and love our walks. We even stick together when mom turns her head, and we sneak through the field to visit our neighbor. When we hear mom call us then we know fun time’s over and we have to go home.

Hi, I’m Niko and my brother behind me is Angel.

BUDGET-FRIENDLY WAYS TO UPGRADE A LANDSCAPE

Plant to create privacy. Homeowners spent more time at home than ever before during the pandemic, and some might have grown tired of seeing what their neighbors are up to. Fencing might be the first solution homeowners consider when looking to make their landscapes more private. But new fencing installation can be expensive, costing homeowners between $1,667 and $4,075 on average, according to BobVila.com. A more costly and natural solution is to plant trees around the perimeter. Speak with a local landscaping professional, who can survey the property to see which trees might thrive and provide the privacy homeowners want.

MAKE THE MOST OF LIMITED SPACE

Reconsider your furniture. Furniture can make rooms feel cozy, cramped or spacious. For homeowners with limited space in their homes, furniture that also can be used as storage can save space without sacrificing comfort. For the bedroom, choose a storage bed if the quarters are cramped and it’s difficult to find space for two dressers. Such beds also can be used to store bed linens if closet space is limited. Purchase storage ottomans and/or end tables with storage beneath to make living areas feel less cramped.

Thanksgiving Traditions WINNERS applepie

Our Thanksgiving tradition started in an e ort for all family members to play a game together, from the very young to the eldest of the group. I found some basic Thanksgiving-themed picture BINGO boards from the internet, broke out the colored pencils to give them some pizazz, and glued the boards on construction paper. 16 years later the tradition continues, with the same worn BINGO boards (including slight tears, faded construction paper, and water stains). Despite the tattered boards, kids and adults alike ask when we are playing BINGO on Thanksgiving Day to find out who will win the coveted prizes, which may include lottery tickets, small stu ed animals, candy, or mystery bags. This holiday tradition has become as important as the Thanksgiving parade, football, and turkey!

Every year, we put a small honeycomb tissue paper turkey decoration in the middle of the table. One of us inevitably puts a small pile of raisins underneath the turkey's tail. It's perfect because the turkey already has an embarrassed look on his face, so after the little "addition," he really has something to be embarrassed about.

Suzanne A. Lanyak

My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is Pie Day. Mom and Dad use to have us 6 kids all at their house for turkey day. Then we all got married and started having kids and the rooms were getting smaller and smaller. Mom decided to make the Saturday after Thanksgiving “Pie Day” where everyone brought pies. There were so many di erent kinds. After eating a big turkey dinner, who had room for pie? So Pie Day was perfect. You ate desserts all day. We would enjoy the daywith family and have so much fun and therewasn’t alot ofclean up after.MomandDadarebothgonenowandwe still have Pie Day. I’m sure Mom and Dad are watching and happy the tradition continues.

Break the wishbone for good luck. It may soundsilly,butthisisarealthing! Aftercarving the turkey, the wishbone, a Y-shaped bone that carries much superstition, gets set aside to dry. Once the meal is over, two people make their wishes and break the wishbone. Whoever ends up with the bigger piece is said to have their wish come true and good luck for the upcoming year.

Sherry Dalcin

Butter Lamb. My dad, who passed 10 years ago, used to cook our Thanksgiving turkey dinner and always purchased a butter lamb for the middle of the table. Now every Thanksgiving I buy a butter lamb for our table and thank him for this special family tradition that keeps his memory alive.

Avoiding Holiday Shopping Scams

It’s that time of year again when we do holiday shopping, much of it online. It’s also the time when more scammers come out.

And what is it scammers want most? ey want your personal information so they can turn it into cash and fraudulent purchases.

Here are a few ways to avoid getting scammed online this holiday season:

Beware sales emails that include links, even if the email is from a store you usually use. ieves are very good at making their scam pages look genuine. Instead of clicking a link, open a web browser and go directly to the website itself. Sometimes the email will request that you update your account information. Instead, call the store and ask if they’ve sent out that request.

Beware the tracking emails you get with updates about packages that you’re expecting. Remember that genuine FedEx and UPS emails won’t ask for any personal information from you. Don’t click links. Go directly to the website.

Be careful where you shop online. Check reviews to see what others have to say. Avoid those with few or low ratings.

Consider using Amazon for most of your online purchases and having a Prime membership. Amazon is good at protecting customers when it comes to you receiving damaged items or not receiving any items at all. A Prime membership now costs $139 a year, but it includes free shipping, free movies and videos, and more.

If you are scammed, report it. Call your bank and the police, and then notify the Elder Fraud Hotline at 833-372-8311.

A goal for 2023: Go inside your bank to do your transaction now and then. Yes, it’s easier to just use the drive-up window for deposits and cash withdrawals, but there is a lot to be said for letting them put a face to a name. Once they know you and your banking habits, they’re more able to quickly identify anything that might be wrong.

Door Prize

Since 1986

Harke’s three sons were members of Troop 4070 when he held a small farm toy swap in 1986 as a fundraiser. is is his thirty-seventh annual Farm Toy Show and Auction. Harke maintains a nationwide network of nearly 1,400 dealers and collectors. “Our dealers and collectors travel from twenty- ve states and Canada to attend. ey are very generous with consignment items. Dealers know that they can build a quality collection quickly through our auction,” says Harke.

Harke prints over 1,400 postcard invitations featuring a picture of the door prize. e boys of the Troop apply address labels and stamps during a Troop meeting. Harke takes an advertisement in Toy Farmer Magazine. e event typically sees over 1,200 people over two days.†

Geneseo Boy Scout

Organizer Doug Harke, with a small part of his farm toy collection. Harke is looking forward to his 37th year a er starting the show in 1986.

A highlight of every Farm Toy Show is the door prize that Doug Harke refurbishes and donates. As a member of the National Farm Toy Show Hall of Fame, Harke is known for his expertise in authentic and detailed restoration work. “ is year’s door prize is a Minneapolis-Moline 445 with New Idea loader. Real ones were produced in the late 1950s. is toy is a stock high-detail model with some minor modi cations. e model was produced several years ago by Spec Cast of Dyersville, Iowa,” noted Harke.

e door prize started with a custom tractor with a mounted plow in 2005. A picture of this tractor was on the postcard and our badge each year. A er exhausting the variety of domestic tractor brands, he has created one with a loader or a dozer blade in 2015.

“Farm equipment dealers used to sell farm toys only around the holidays. In the 1970s, manufacturers listened to dealers and decided to havethemavailableallyear. isledtoaninventoryboomforcollectors, and the hobby took right o ,” says Harke.”

At the heart of the Farm Toy Show are the Scouts, says Geneseo Scoutmaster and Eagle Scout Bryan French. “Our Scouts will set up, receive, unload, move items at the auction, and sell concessions,” says French, “they make the show possible”.

Dann Auctioneers of Canandaigua will headline the auction Friday night, continuing a family tradition of over 20 years of service at the Farm Toy Auction. Steve “Doc” Wiener of Geneseo Rotary will run concessions again this year.

Local supporters include Geneseo Kiwanis, M&R Automotive, Dann Auctioneers, Geneseo Central School, and Sigma Tau Psi Fraternity and Omega Beta Psi Fraternities of SUNY Geneseo. ese local volunteers contribute over 600 service hours over the two-day event.

Impact of the Farm Toy Show

OverDoug’s37yearsofservicetotheTroop,morethan90Scoutsinour troop have earned the rank of Eagle Scout. At an average of 250 hours per Eagle Scout project, this means that the Farm Toy Show has raised over $210,000 and made over 22,500 hours of community service from our Scouts possible.

About Geneseo Troop 4070

Established in 1968, Geneseo Troop 4070 is celebrating y-four years of service in 2022-2023. e Troop is sending 10 Scouts and 2 adult Scout leaders to the 2023 National Scouting Jamboree at Summit Bechtel Scout Reserve in West Virginia from July 19-28, 2023. e Geneseo Central Presbyterian Church charters the troop.

Avon Food Drive

Thank you to all the residents who responded to Saturday’s food drive when the Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts went door to door. Sorry if we missed your house. There is a drop box outside the pantry and many others around town!

Cal-Mum MiddleSchool Veteran's breakfast

The Cal-Mum Middle School Veteran's breakfast was a genuine surprise. The students and faculty were so thoughtful and helpful, while the chorus singing was fantastic. I really felt humbled as I walked through the double line of applauding student faculty and principal. Wow! Thank you doesn't seem like enough to say.

Thank you!

Thank you to the wonderful people who bought our drinks for us (they were a wonderful couple with 2 beautiful children). Then there were 3 awesome people who were across from us who paid for our dinner. This was my birthday celebration on Election Day. My husband has Alzheimer's disease and had a stroke. He was overwhelmed with emotions. We were so moved that complete strangers would think of us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Our only child is out of state and she does everything she can for us, but with 4 children and a husband who travels all over the country she couldn't be here this year.

Genesee Valley Penny Saver readers are the best!

We recently posted a plea on the Penny Saver's "Give and Take" feature for a headboard needed as a set piece for the Pembroke Junior Senior High School spring musical. (The Sound of Music -- you may remember the scene.) We were amazed at the number of people who took the time to call us and happily offer to give away what they had. We were so pleased when we found one close to home. We nevertheless called back all the others who had offered to help to thank them for their kindness and generosity. In these difficult times this is an example of American generosity, friendship, and kindness, irrespective of any political, cultural, or other differences. People found our call for help in the Penny Saver. They didn't need to call us, but they did. What a wonderful story and spirit with which to enter the upcoming holiday season!

Great Respondence of Village

A few days ago my roommate fell and ended up with broken hips and femur. I had to call for help to get him up. The service was great from the local ambulance and fire company. A special thanks to Billy, Town Supervisor, and the rest of the crew– keep up the great job! : ) The happy ending: my roommate is in rehab now on a slow recovery. Thank you all again; there are some good people in this small town. God bless you all.

Thank you!

On Thursday, 11-17, I was loading my car after shopping in BJs. I accidentally dropped my phone while I was doing this. I heard the noise but looked around and saw nothing, so I left and went home. Then I realized my phone was missing. The noise must have been my phone. I went back to the parking lot and found my phone standing up against the bottom of the shopping cart corral. Some nice person must have found it and took it out of harm’s way and left it where I would see it. Thank you so much. There are still good, thoughtful people in the world and you are one.

Parks Department

Thank you to all the County parks workers who take care of the parks all year. I spend a lot of time in Dewitt Park and walk around the lake. The park is always clean and the restrooms are well taken care of. I appreciate your hard work.

Pet Buying Scam Leaves Owner Heartbroken

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I got scammed! I can’t believe it. For decades, I’ve purchased speci c dog breeds from reputable breeders locally and up to a few hundred miles away. But last year I decided to purchase a dog from overseas, speci cally Europe, because I wanted a speci c breed and there were none available locally. Normally I would happily y over myself to meet the prospective pet, but due to travel restrictions during the pandemic, that was not possible. ere’s a lot to my story of being scammed, but in the interest of time I will just say that I paid out several thousand dollars to a scammer who looked very legitimate online, and at the end of the day, no dog ever arrived. I want to warn other people who are thinking about buying a dog from overseas to be very careful. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. -- Heartbroken in Dallas

DEAR HEARTBROKEN: ank you for sharing your story. It will help so many other potential owners to avoid pet-buying pitfalls.

Overseas pet-buying scams have increased dramatically in the past few years -- so much so that such purchases, especially from Eastern Europe, were banned temporarily. But scammers don’t care about bans, and they’ll do anything to get money from people who just want a pet.

If you haven’t done so yet, report the scammer to authorities. File a report locally with your city’s police department. If you wired money to the scammer, contact the service provider to report the incident. Report the incident on pet scam websites, social media and anywhere that pet owners chat.

e International Pet And Animal Transportation Association has more strategies to report scammers here: www.ipata.org/pet-scams.

Were you scammed when trying to buy a pet? Tell us your story at ask@pawscorner.com.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Supplement With Good Potential Still Needs to Be Better Studied

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have a friend with multiple health problems, mostly digestive and throat issues, who has recently discovered the supplement astaxanthin through his treatment with a nutritionist. He is extremely optimistic that this supplement is his ticket to better health. He said it was developed by a biochemical engineer. As a doctor, would you recommend this for your patients? He says it is a powerful antioxidant and reduces inflammation. He also believes it will destroy any cancer cells. -- N.H.

ANSWER: Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring pigment related to vitamin A that was first isolated from a lobster in 1938. It indeed has both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It has been used as a coloring agent in salmon, and is also naturally found in salmon. Most astaxanthin sold commercially is synthesized from petroleum products.

As a supplement, astaxanthin has been best studied to treat and prevent skin damage from aging. Multiple small studies have shown that it can improve skin appearance and function when used orally or topically. There is also some evidence it can reduce DNA damage from ultraviolet light.

The ability to reduce the type of damage that may ultimately lead to skin cancer is a far cry from the ability to “destroy any cancer cell.” There is no secret or hidden cure to cancer.

The Food and Drug Administration categorizes astaxanthin as “generally regarded as safe.” As I have often said, since supplements are not tightly regulated in the United States, you must rely on the manufacturer providing you with what they say they are, and there have been many, many instances where that has not been the case (in general, not about astaxanthin in particular).

Being conservative, I would say this supplement has potential, but I can’t recommend it until it has been better studied.

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.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

By Lucie Winborne

* In Ethiopia, a spot known as “The Gateway to Hell” is one of the hottest on earth, with air that’s toxic to humans. Scientists have found organisms in its acid pools that are capable of surviving without oxygen.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

* “During the holidays, our schedules change so much, it’s hard to keep track. I used to write and re-write our family calendar, but now I just make a grid for the days/weeks, and I use Post-it notes to enter parties, school obligations and anything that is a ‘maybe.’ It’s much easier to move around, and to add or delete events as needed.” -- via email

* “Fasten all buttons, snaps, fasteners and zippers on your clothes before washing and drying. It will help them keep their shape. Turn socks inside out, too. It will help prevent them from getting fuzzballs.” -- M.W. from Saskatchewan, Canada

* “I pick up extra coffee mugs from second-hand stores, then clean and fill them with hot chocolate packets, small coffees and wrapped tea bags and a few little chocolate bars. These make nice little gifts for friends and service people. I am on a fixed budget, but I find that I can be generous this way.” -- T.L. in North Carolina

* When mailing packages, keep in mind that secure cargo is tightly packed. You don’t have to buy expensive packing peanuts or bubble wrap; you can use what’s around. For instance, plastic grocery bags are always in abundance. They can be tucked into any spare room and they barely weigh a thing. Same with newspaper; fill all the available space so that nothing bounces around in transit. Save your bubble wrap for the following tip.

* “When mailing cookies, make sure they are packed well. Use an appropriate size container, and give layers some space by separating them with small sheets of bubble wrap. My cookies arrive intact every time.” -- J.J. in Florida

HOLIDAY FUN FACTS

“Jingle Bells” originally was a Thanksgiving song, and it was first performed by composer/organist James Lord Pierpont at his church’s Thanksgiving concert.

Elementary School Principal General Education Teacher (K-6) Special Education Teacher (6-12)

ADDITIONAL SUBSTITUTE POSITIONS: Teachers (Certi ed and Uncerti ed) RNs & LPNs • Food Service Workers Interviews upon receipt of application. Deadline: Continual Recruitment

Keep the momentum. It can be tempting to phone it in as you near departure day, but this is inadvisable. Do your job to the best of your ability up until you say your goodbyes.

AVOID FINANCIAL PERIL AFTER A JOB LOSS

Losing a job can be devastating. Even in a strong market, companies can go out of business or reduce payroll. Being let go can initially tug at one’s pride, and after a layoff sets in,it may cause individuals to start worrying for their financial futures.While many people can survive and may even enjoy a few weeks of rest and relaxation after a job loss, financial concerns may surface soon thereafter. A 2017 GOBankingRates survey found that more than half of American adults have less than $1,000 in their savings accounts. Financial planners typically advise people to have at least three month’s worth of earnings socked away for emergency situations, like a medical issue or a job loss. Even though the survey also found more than a quarter (27 percent) of respondents have $10,000 or more saved, that might not be enough to survive a job loss for six months or more.

A job loss can come as a shock. However, with level-headedness and smart planning, many people can avoid dire financial situations in the wake of a layoff.

BOOST ENERGY AT THE OFFICE

Squeeze in a midday workout. Numerous studies have shown the many benefits to daily exercise, but professionals may not know that exercise can help improve their productivity at the office. A 2005 study from researchers at the then-named Leeds Metropolitan University in England asked 200 workers to answer questions regarding their productivity on days when they exercised at lunchtime and days when they did not exercise. Sixty percent said their job performance, including their ability to meet deadlines and manage their time, improved by a considerable amount on the days when they exercised.

The human soul is slow to discover the real excellence of things given to us by a bountiful Creator, and not until the shadows of death begin to gather around the object that we love, do we see its worth and beauty. Autumn is the dim shadow that clusters about the sweet, precious things that God has created in the realm of nature. While it robs them of life, it tears away the veil and reveals the golden gem of beauty and sweetness. Beauty lurks in all the dim old aisles of nature, and we discover it at last.
