CHRISTMAS TREE VARIETIES

Auctions & Antiques _____________________11

Living Christmas tree, which refers to those with their roots still intact, are popular among eco-conscious holiday enthusiasts. That’s because living trees can be promptly planted after they’ve served their purpose indoors.

STAFFORD NURSERIES TREE FARM

$35.00 includes tax

Opt for a moderately sized tree, as root balls on larger trees can be heavy and difficult to move. Living trees can typically be kept indoors for around seven to 10 days before they will need to be returned outside. Move such trees to a sheltered outdoor area for one to two weeks so they can reacclimate to the climate. So long as the ground is not frozen, trees can then be planted when the reacclimation period ends. Better Homes and Gardens suggests selecting a mild day to plant the tree.

HEMP HAS SIGNIFICANT HEALTH BENEFITS FOR PETS (NAPSI)—NaturVet’s veterinarian-formulated pet supplements have progressed over the last 25 years to keep up with the ever-changing needs of pet parents. NaturVet’s newest Hemp for Health product line includes four top products—Allergy, Calming, Immune and Joint— that are now available enhanced with Hemp Seed Oil and Hemp Seed Powder, sharing the same great original base formulas that pet parents have relied on for years. Although marijuana and hemp come from the same cannabis family, the plants are completely different in function, cultivation and application. Hemp is grown specifically for agricultural purposes and has been used for hundreds of years in textiles, body care products, paper products, industrial products and building materials. Most importantly, hemp is nonpsychoactive and cannot get your pet high.

Hemp has significant health benefits for pets. Hemp is high in fiber; a great source of plant-based protein; is rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids; and contains phytonutrients, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and 20 amino acids. Hemp Seed Oil and Hemp Seed Powder work synergistically with other active ingredients to help provide support for allergies, stress and anxiety, joints, aches and discomfort, the immune system, and overall health and wellness. For more information on NaturVet products, please visit www.NaturVet.com or call (888) 628-8783.

I lived on the streets for the first years of my life and kept having litters of kittens. I was then captured and taken to be fixed and given shots. I was finally given a name, Katie. My four kittens were also rescued and good homes were found for them. In fact, one of my daughters was taken in by the lady across the street. My street buddy, Goldie, and I were raised in a nice home with a lady who loved us dearly. As time went along, I developed a tumor and had to be on medicine to slow the growth of it for the rest of my life. It was thanks to Dr. Edwards and his wonderful staff at Brockport Animal Hospital that I was able to live 13 years. In November, 2019 my tumor had grown so much that I had to be put to sleep. My mom and Goldie miss me dearly, but I had a wonderful life. TRI-COUNTY EDITION

Get rid of your old holiday lights. Still using the same Christmas lights you used in 1995? Such lights are likely incandescent bulbs that are considerably less efficient than today’s LED Christmas lights. The Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy notes that LED lights consume 75 percent less energy and last 25 times longer than incandescent lighting. In addition, the OEERE says that LED holiday lights are easier to install and that as many as 25 strings of lights can be connected end-to-end without overloading a wall socket.

HOW COUPLES CAN BENEFIT FROM HIRING LOCAL WEDDING VENDORS: Local vendors will be familiar with the area and possibly even the location where the wedding will be held. That can help couples avoid having to give directions, discuss venue protocols, and handle other tasks that must be worked out with non-local vendors. For example, local photographers familiar with a particular venue will know all of the best places to get shots, and some vendors may have preexisting relationships with venue representatives that could ensure wedding day operations go smoothly.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH By Keith Roach, M.D.

Size Determines Risk of Aneurysm Rupture ---

DEAR DR. ROACH: My boyfriend recently was diagnosed with an aneurysm. The report says the abdominal aorta is 3.02 cm in largest dimension and recommends screening every six months. Do we need to see a cardiologist for a second opinion? Is there medication to help? -- B.S. ANSWER: The aorta is the largest blood vessel in the body. It comes directly off the left ventricle of the heart and supplies blood to the entire body. It may become enlarged either in the chest (a thoracic aneurysm) or in the abdomen. Abdominal aortic aneurisms are more common in men, especially over 65, and smoking is the biggest risk factor. There are contributing familial conditions as well, such as Marfan syndrome. Most people have an abdominal aorta that is no bigger than 3 cm, so your boyfriend is just barely over the cutoff. His risk for rupture, the dreaded complication of an AAA, is negligible at this size. I agree with the screening recommendations, and would advise tobacco cessation if he smokes, regular moderate exercise and control of blood pressure if high. Seeing a cardiologist would be very reasonable: Your boyfriend could get personalized advice on risk reduction. Although aspirin and statin drugs may have a benefit, the evidence for it is weak. Most experts do not recommend them unless there are other indications for taking them. ***

DEAR DR. ROACH: I had a hernia operation in 2015. The

Magic Maze TOLKIEN CHARACTERS

repair included insertion of mesh patches that now have been recalled. Since the operation, I have had many health issues. Is there a blood test or other test to see if the mesh is the cause of my problems? Should I have it removed and replaced? I am 83. -- J.C.L. ANSWER: Surgical mesh is commonly used in hernia repair, as well as in many gynecologic surgeries. Mesh reduces the need for re-operation. However, there is an increased rate of long-term complications that partially offsets the benefit of using mesh. Complications related to the mesh can be very serious, such as bowel obstruction, perforation or bleeding; these usually require urgent surgery. However, symptoms also may be less specific, and include pain, non-healing wounds and infection. Of people with a mesh repair, 4% to 6% had evidence of complications after five years of follow-up, according to a well-done study from Denmark. I am aware of recalled mesh products (49 out of the top 50 results on a web search were from personal injury law firms; the 50th was from the Food and Drug Administration) and reports of significantly higher complication rates from recalled (as well as from counterfeit) mesh. Without knowing more about your health issues, it is difficult to weigh in on whether the mesh is likely to be causing it. There is no simple blood or imaging test that will give a definitive answer. However, if your symptoms are among those possibly related to mesh complication, it absolutely would be appropriate to have a discussion with your surgeon about the upsides and downsides of a re-operation. I would be cautious about recommending another surgery for an 83-year-old, unless the symptoms are significant and your surgeon feels they are likely due to mesh complications. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

A Look Back… MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel

Travel Trends To Inspire Your 2020 Vacation Planning (NAPS)—Some things never change when it comes to traveling with friends and family, but every year new trends arise as travelers discover new places and ways to travel. With data and insights from its global vacation rental marketplace, Vrbo identified where, how and why Americans will travel for vacation in 2020. Up-and-coming destinations Travelers are always looking for “off-the-beaten path” or “hidden gem” destinations for their next trip. The top emerging domestic destinations all have one thing in common: the great outdoors. From ghost towns to sea islands, adventurous travelers are visiting places like Big Bend National Park, Olympic National Park and Chattahoochee National Forest. “This is the third year in a row travelers’ desire to be outdoors has filled the up-and-coming destinations list,” said Vrbo Travel Expert Melanie Fish. “Clearly, people want the comforts of a home away from home while soaking in scenery.” On the rise: same-city stays Same-city stays refer to people booking vacation rentals in their own city—not to be confused with staycations, which involve staying at your own home. The top single place that Chicago Vrbo renters come from is Chicago, and that rings true for a number of major American cities, including Philadelphia, Dallas and Atlanta. Another emerging travel phenomenon may come into play: celecations, when families and friends gather to celebrate special occasions. People who live in town may rent a vacation home to host and comfortably accommodate groups of guests for a holiday or a milestone life event. Hottest international beach destinations Where are trendsetting travelers heading to the beach in 2020? Portugal. The country took three of the top five spots on Vrbo’s list of international beach destinations: Vila Nova de Gaia, Porto and Lisbon. Portugal is known for its affordability and for some of the best waves in Europe. Other destinations include Chania, Greece and Catania, Italy. Drivable destinations: moving up More Americans are taking short-stay vacations of two or three days—likely an outgrowth of flexible time-off policies and prioritization of experiences with people over material goods. Whether it’s a long weekend or a day trip, an exceptional vacation destination is less than a tank of gas away! In fact, Vrbo’s top five short-stay destinations are all less than 300 miles away from the top origin markets that guests were traveling from. From urban getaways to nature escapes, travelers are taking short trips to these top destinations: St. Louis; McCurtain County (Broken Bow), Okla.; Newton County, Ark.; Grays Harbor County, Wash. and Ruidoso, New Mexico.

On Dec. 16, 1773, in Boston Harbor, a group of Massachusetts colonists disguised as Mohawk Indians board three British tea ships and dump 342 chests of tea into the harbor. The raid was in protest of the British Parliament’s Tea Act of 1773, which granted the East India Company a virtual monopoly on the American tea trade. On Dec. 19, 1843, Charles Dickens’ classic story “A Christmas Carol” is published. Dickens was sent to work in a factory at age 12 when his father was thrown into debtors’ prison. On Dec. 22, 1864, Union Gen. William Sherman presents the city of Savannah, Georgia, to President Abraham Lincoln. Sherman captured the key Confederate port after his famous March to the Sea from Atlanta.

Thank you, Batavia! Thank you to the downtown businesses in Batavia for the beautiful window decorations. We love coming down Main Street and seeing all the festive lights and decorations!

My, my, with all the chaos in the world, this rant keeps surfacing about someone assisting a handicapped person in a wheelchair, without being asked to do so. Calm down about someone being concerned about you. You really have your teeth in this. My mom was handicapped with polio, and she was an independent woman who did many things in her life. Yet, she was gracious and gladly accepted help or assistance when needed. She never viewed assistance as a form of someone having pity for her. In a world where many lack care and concern for others, I think you should appreciate the kind act of others. Also, if you don’t want help or feel it as an assault, then you can still graciously decline the kind gesture. Enjoy the life you have!

Gratitude to an honest gentleman! My heartfelt thanks to the gentleman who found my little purse in the Batavia WalMart parking lot on Monday, December 2 and immediately turned it and its contents in to the Customer Service department. It must have fallen off my arm while walking to my car. I never expected to find it already waiting for me, intact, in the few minutes it took me to return to the store. I am deeply grateful for your honesty and integrity. Have a blessed Christmas!

Pleasant surprise at the RPO concert! My wife and I were in line to get our RPO tickets at Livonia High School when a woman came up and handed us a ticket. We were stunned to find that the admission was fully paid and never had a chance to thank the woman. So, a very public Thank You for your kindness!

To the dog owners who walk their dogs at [local park] and then leave little plastic bags of dog poop all over the place - stop! Cleaning up after your dog does not mean leaving bags of poop for others to pick up. Take it with you and dispose of it in your garbage. Leaving it is lazy and disgusting!

very appreciative of his kind and caring help. Would you rather he keeps walking by, leaving the person stranded? Your thought pattern is very odd. I hope I never have to read another rant about this again.

Time and again, a person in a wheelchair complains and apparently doesn’t appreciate the kindness that perfect strangers display toward them when they offer to help. How sad! Just a couple of days ago, my adult son inquired when he saw someone in a motorized wheelchair having difficulty. Their battery had gone dead. He was able to get help and push the person to an area where the battery could be recharged. The person was

Isn’t it a state law that when drivers use their windshield wipers that they must use their headlights as well? Wondering why police don’t ticket cars that don’t do this. Can anyone explain why every year retailers locally and nationally start pushing Christmas sales when it isn’t even Halloween yet? Plus, this year Black Friday seems to be occurring every week. Can’t we just enjoy the holiday?

WORKING PARENTS CAN CREATE BETTER WORK-LIFE BALANCE Set reasonable goals. Much of the difficulty men and women experience in regard to finding a healthy work-life balance may be a byproduct of working parents spreading themselves too thin. Setting reasonable goals can help avoid that, but doing so requires taking commitments to one’s employer and family into consideration before agreeing to take on new projects or setting deadlines for projects to be completed. This should be applied to both work and home. If a work deadline is unreasonable, professionals should discuss that with their employers, who might change the deadline or arrange for extra persons to work on the project. At home, parents should avoid taking on too many projects, such as chaperoning a child’s dance or coaching a sports team, if doing so will adversely affect the amount of time they get to spend with their families.

Retirement can seem like it will never come for young professionals. But time can be a sieve, and retirement age can arrive in the blink of an eye. Young adults who have not planned accordingly for retirement can find themselves in financial straits at a point in their lives when they want to kick back and enjoy themselves. Financial experts from Money, CNN and The Motley Fool advise that financially solvent people should begin saving 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’ financial futures.

MAXIMIZE EARNING POTENTIAL WITH VACATION RENTAL PROPERTIES (NAPSI)—It is often said that, in real estate, it’s all about “location, location, location.” However, when it comes to rental properties, the key to maximizing their potential is all about “timing, timing, timing.” New vacation home rental industry data shows early fall is the ideal time to buy a property to quickly turn the investment into profit. Here’s why: • In order to plan ahead for spring and summer trips, many travelers book their vacation rental accommodations in January and February, according to a survey of vacation rental owners conducted by vacation rental website VRBO. • Meanwhile, Quicken Loans data shows it takes about 155 days to shop for a new vacation home, purchase it, and get the newly acquired property ready. This means a prospective vacation homeowner should shop at least five months before vacation rentals’ busy booking season in January and February to get everything prepared to rent to travelers looking for the comforts of a whole home, whether it’s a beachfront condo or a cozy mountain cabin. “We often see, at this time of year after travelers have wrapped up their summer trips, that they wish they had a vacation home of their own to return to next year,” says Bill Furlong, vice president of HomeAway, Americas. “This schedule may not follow traditional trends of the real estate calendar, but early fall is the right time to buy so preparations can be done by January, when people search for next summer’s vacation rental.” A survey of vacation rental owners who list with HomeAway and VRBO shows that more than half of them say they can cover 75 percent or more of their mortgage payments each year from rental income.ii For those interested in getting into the burgeoning vacation rental business, VRBO’s Earn Tool can help them evaluate how much a specific property can potentially earn through vacation rental income. By visiting www. vrbo.com/earn and entering the vacation home’s address and basic property information, current and aspiring vacation homeowners can get an estimate of annual rental income potential based on comparable properties already successfully renting on VRBO. “The popularity of vacation rentals continues to grow each year,” says Furlong. “An early start and an informed shopping experience with the help of VRBO’s Earn Tool can create a significant financial opportunity for those looking to enter the vacation rental industry.”
