Cold w eather can cause starting problem s in diesel vehicles because the fuel tends to gel. One w ay to com bat gelling is to use an anti-gelling additive. Using an additive can im prove engine start up in cold w eather, im prove cold flow by preventing gelling and w ill clean deposits from fuel injectors, com bustion cham bers, intake valves and piston crow ns.

It’s easy to forget that basic m aintenance can prevent expensive repairs. Change your fuel filter. Using a dirty fuel filter can cause w ax crystals to collect, cutting off the fuel.

Change your m otor oil and your oil filter. Depending on the clim ate w here you live, consider changing the viscosity of your oil to help flow during the cold w inter m onths.

OXBO Supports the Byron Rescue Squad

XBO International of Byron stepped up to support the town of Byron in helping others!

The Byron Rescue Squad ambulance was showing its age. At twelve years old, it was in dire need of some care.

“Our rescue squad has many dedicated members,” EMT Captain Brad Nickerson said. “We have, in this time of closing ambulance services, expanded our own. Our team consists of some Advanced EMTs along with EMTs and regular firemen who happily pitch in when needed. Our team has dedicated over 1,000-man hours of their personal time answering calls. Plus hundreds of hours in trainings to keep their skills current when every minute counts!”

Although the Byron Fire Department pays for the squad’s insurance, lodging and fuel which helps greatly, the squad runs on donations to keep up on education, supplies and maintenance. That maintenance is costing the department more and more each year due to the aging of the ambulance.

“Our annual fund drive covers the bills only, but saving to replace our rig with donations seems unreachable, so for now we are just trying to keep it going,” Nickerson said.

This is where OXBO, Byron’s local industry, stepped in. The running boards on the rig were hanging on by a thread; they were unsafe. Also, the back bumpers were in rough shape, one was being held in place with a bungee cord.

New back bumpers!

EMT Laura Platt decided she would ask her husband, Doug, who works at OXBO to ask his boss, Chris Chadborn, if OXBO could help. Chadborn did not hesitate; he said. “Bring it down!” Assistant Chief, John Durand, and Platt drove the rig the couple miles to OXBO where a team immediately came out to assess the vehicle. The team determined that they could make new running boards and steps using the old ones as patterns.

Not wanting to keep the rig out of service, Steve Lockner, another Byron firefighter, along with Durand, removed the parts. Platt’s husband took

them to OXBO on his next work day. When Platt asked Chadborn about the cost of replacing those parts, he simply replied, “One hand washes the other.”

“Our ambulance looked a little rough as we continued to answer calls while the parts were in the process of being replaced by OXBO,” said Platt.

“But it wasn’t long before my husband, Doug, came home from work with the new shiny black running boards and bumpers.”

Both Lockner and Durand installed the new parts immediately. “Our rig was safe once again, and how great it looks with the new parts made to perfection!” said Platt.

“This Holiday Season the Byron Rescue Squad is very thankful to OXBO International for the gift of their expertise in metal works which has allowed us to continue helping our little community,” Platt continued. “Next year’s wish is to somehow secure funding to start the process of replacing our 12year old ambulance. A new ambulance would cost $200,000 - $300,000, not including the equipment. A new ambulance would give our dedicated and willing volunteers even more ways to come to the aid of our community.”

DID YOU KNOW? Should a person hear that a couple “tied the knot,” it’s immediately known that they got married. But just when and where does the term “tying the knot” come from? The phrase “tying the knot” is steeped in tradition, though the origins of the phrase remain open for debate. One origin story states that tying the knot can be traced back to the Roman empire, when brides wore girdles that were tied in knots, and the groom had to eventually untie those knots to consummate the marriage. Tying the knot also may be traced to the custom of handfasting.

The marriage contract was established between a bride and a groom by joining their hands together and tying them. Although accounts vary as to whether the hands were tied only during the ceremony or later, this is believed to be an ancient Renaissance or Celtic tradition. Others speculate that the phrase traces its origins to Hindu weddings in which brides and grooms tied a necklace of flowers as part of wedding tradition. Yet another theory suggests that the phrase can be traced back to the knotted string that supported beds prior to the use of metal springs. Therefore, in order to make a marriage bed, couples first needed to tie the knot. Knots also represent a difficult-to-break bond, which is why they have long been associated with marriage. In one unity tradition, couples may braid or knot together three strands, with one representing the bride, one symbolizing the groom and the third representing God as they join together in faith. Similarly, the phrase “getting hitched” is associated with knot-tying as well. The saying implies that two people are being tied together just like a horse is tied, or hitched, to a wagon.

WEDDING REGISTRY TIPS Vary the prices of items on the list. In addition to including more expensive items on the registry, make sure to include moderately priced and inexpensive items. This gives guests more options and ensures guests who might be spending a lot to travel to and from the wedding can still purchase gifts without digging too much deeper into their pockets.

Resolve to read more and reap the benefits It may be tempting to curl up on the couch and turn on the television to unwind, but research indicates that reading is one of the best workouts for the brain. The World Health Organization says that doctors diagnose nearly 10 million new cases of dementia each year. With so many people understandably concerned about any and all cognitive issues related to aging, the search is continually on to find ways to strengthen the mind’s muscle. It may be as simple as picking up a book.

People make New Year’s resolutions to improve their lives, and reading more can be a great way to do just that. According to the online health and wellness resource The Healthy (www.thehealthy. com), reading has been associated with language reception in the left temporal cortex of the brain. When this part of the brain processes written material, neurons begin working hard to transmit information. Research conducted by Stanford University indicated that MRI scans of people who are deep into a Jane Austen novel showed an increase in blood flowing to areas of the brain that control both cognitive and executive function.

When the brain is working efficiently, it may be less prone to some of the issues that can cause a decline in memory and brain function. Research published in the journal Neurology found frequent brain exercise through reading lowered mental decline by 32 percent.

Of course, the benefits of reading extend beyond the physical.

Literary fiction can help people be more empathetic. Getting lost in a book and the characters’ stories makes others more relatable. Reading has the potential to help a person understand what people are thinking, offers research published in the journal Science.

Picking up a good book also can help a person gain knowledge of new cultures, ideas and history and even improve vocabulary.

Picking up a newspaper or magazine, joining a book club or reading with children are just a few of the many ways to improve the mind through reading.

Men and women who work out in their homes can take the free weights outdoors to the backyard on nice days, allowing Mother Nature instead of the electric company to supply the lighting.

We Care About ut

Your Smiles

by Dr. Steve Sokolovskiy

A TOTAL KNOCKOUT While more than five million children’s and adult’s teeth are knocked out annually due to injury or accident, it is possible to replant these teeth if you know what to do.

The first tooth-saving step is to quickly pick up the knocked-out (“avulsed”) tooth by the crown (chewing surface), not the root.

Gently rinse it off under a stream of tap water. Do not scrub or use soap or chemicals. Then, place the tooth back in its socket, gently holding it by the crown. Slowly push it into place and hold it there. While it is possible to save a tooth that has been outside the mouth for an hour or more, it is best to contact a dentist immediately.

We’ll do all we can at BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL to help you not only keep your teeth, but to keep them healthy and strong and smiling their brightest. Our

philosophy is not only to treat dental needs, but more importantly, to educate our patients about preventing future problems from occurring and how deal with them when they do. When you are looking for state-of-the-art, personalized dentistry from people who really care, welcome to 6 Batavia City Centre. You can reach us at 585.343.4246 to schedule an appointment.

P.S. If it is not possible to reposition a knocked-out tooth in its socket, place it in a glass of water or milk and immediately call the dentist.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am 88 and have had osteoarthritis in my hands and knees since I was in my 50s. I began taking Tylenol and Advil for pain. But on a recommendation from a health food store clerk, I started taking turmeric. Since that first dose, I have never had to take any pain medication again. I also have not had a knee replacement. My specialist is very pleased with my condition, and encourages my use of turmeric. I plan to up the dose from 150 mg daily because of research that shows its benefits in avoiding Alzheimer’s disease. -- D.D.L. ANSWER: Turmeric has been shown to be helpful in some people with osteoarthritis, and is unlikely to have serious side effects; however, stomach upset is possible, and turmeric should be used with caution in people on warfarin or other anticoagulants.

However, there is no good evidence showing that turmeric prevents or treats dementia. ***

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have been hearing a lot about making yogurt at home. Is homemade yogurt a recipe for food poisoning? -- H.C. ANSWER: Homemade yogurt is easy to make, can be more healthy than store-bought as it has very little sugar, and can be made very safely with minimal precautions. The key is to make sure the milk is fresh and sterile, then to carefully add in healthy bacteria. All you need to do is boil fresh milk to a bare simmer (to kill any unhealthy bacteria); cool it down to 100-110 F (37-42 C), which is an optimal temperature for growth of the healthy bacteria that help prevent the growth of unhealthy bacteria or yeast; stir in a few tablespoons of plain yogurt with active healthy bacterial cultures; and keep it in a warm place for six to 12 hours or so. You can use the yogurt you just made as the starter for the next batch. Add in some pureed fresh fruit, and you have a healthier, tastier and cheaper yogurt than you can buy at the store. ***

DEAR DR. ROACH: I take 40 mg of lisinopril for high blood pressure. One doctor told me to take a 40 mg tablet in the morning, while another said to take 20 mg in the morning and 20 mg in the evening. Will separating the dosage better control my blood pressure? On average, mine is 130/75. -- M.A.P. ANSWER: For lisinopril in particular, taking the medication twice daily showed a better reduction in blood pressure than once daily, according to a study performed last year. People who took lisinopril twice daily had about a 10-point systolic (4 point diastolic) improvement in BP control, so your blood pressure might be more like 120/71 if you started taking it in two doses, if you are similar to the subjects in the study (that sounds like a big drop to me, despite the study results).

People who are doing just fine on once-daily lisinopril don’t need to change. Don’t make any changes in your medication without discussing it with your own doctor. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

DINING OUT WITH INFANTS New parents often need a respite from the near-constant demands of infants. Dining out can be one of those breaks. When a babysitter is unavailable or if you’re not yet comfortable leaving a little one with someone else, bringing baby along may be possible.

First, find a family-friendly restaurant or try an establishment that has outdoor seating where you can quickly distance yourself from other diners if need be. Time dining out around the baby’s feeding and sleeping schedule. Babies sated by a recent feeding and a relaxing car ride may be more inclined to sleep through your restaurant meal. Just in case, pack an extra bottle or prepare to breastfeed to keep your baby happy.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 2020

HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Events could inspire adventurous Lambs looking to make a major career or personal move. But as always, get all the facts before rushing into any sort of deal or commitment.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) What seems to be a great opportunity could cause even usually practical Taureans to ignore their inner caution cues. Best to move carefully to avoid falling into unseen traps.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Need a holiday now that the seasonal festivities are behind you? Good idea. Plan to go someplace wonderful. You’ll return refreshed and more than ready for a new challenge.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Progress continues to be made on that pesky workplace problem. Meanwhile, don’t assume a personal situation will work itself out. Best to get more involved earlier than later.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Catnaps are definitely recommended for Leos and Leonas who had been going at a hectic pace over the holidays. Adding relaxation time to your schedule helps restore your overdrawn energy reserves.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Sure, some of the new friends you made over the holidays might move out of your life at some point. But at least one might show significant “staying power” with some encouragement.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Encourage family members to join you in supporting a relative who could be facing a difficult emotional challenge in the New Year.

Showing your love and concern helps keep his or her hopes up.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) While a long-deferred decision suddenly might take on some urgency after news on a related matter, you still need to weigh all factors carefully before deciding one way or the other.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) This is a good time to reassess the earlier plan you made for the New Year. Some elements you felt you could depend on to make it work might no longer carry that assurance.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Forming a renewed connection with a former associate is only the first step toward working out your new plans. Be prepared for problems, and deal with them as soon as they arise.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A romantic situation that was going smoothly not too long ago might take a new turn. Be honest about your feelings before you decide whether to follow it or take another path.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) The wise Pisces (that’s you, of course) will make sure everyone knows your plan to keep your options open and listen to all sides of the situation before making any decisions.

BORN THIS WEEK: Your honest approach to life and living is always an inspiration for others fortunate enough to know you.

“Many motorists procrastinate when it comes to cleaning their vehicles,” said Rich White, executive director of the nonprofit Car Care Council.

“Whether you do it yourself or have it cleaned professionally, proactively keeping your car clean on the outside and tidy on the inside will pay big dividends when it comes to maintaining your vehicle’s value over time.”

Puzzle Answers This Week

The Car Care Council suggests five simple steps to keep a vehicle clean, helping protect it from the elements and preserve its value.

• Declutter—Start the cleaning process by removing excess clutter from inside the car as it can be distracting and hazardous, especially when debris finds its way near the gas and brake pedals. Don’t forget to clear out items that have accumulated in the trunk as they can add extra weight and reduce fuel efficiency.

TRADEMARKS FREQUENTLY USED AS GENERIC TERMS

• Clean the Interior—The next step is to thoroughly clean the interior, wash the windows, and clean and install floor mats. Be sure to vacuum on a regular basis. A clean and orderly interior lets you spot issues in the cabin so you can get them repaired before they get worse.

• Wash the Exterior—Give your car a good wash from top to bottom using products specifically made for automobiles. Always clean the tires and wheels before washing the body and don’t use the same washing mitt or cloth for both.

• Wax Twice a Year—Waxing not only protects a vehicle’s finish, it makes subsequent washing easier. Before proceeding, make sure there are no foreign particles on the paint. It’s important to note that waxing should be done in the shade, not direct sunlight.

• Fix Chips—If you find minor paint damage, cover the paint chips as quickly as possible to prevent further damage. For a quick fix until you can get paint touch-up supplies, dab a little clear nail polish on the scratch.

The Car Care Council is the source of information for the “Be Car Care Aware” consumer education campaign promoting the benefits of regular vehicle care, maintenance and repair to consumers.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 2020

PREVENT CO POISONING (NAPSI)—Each year, more than 400 people die from unintentional carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and more than 20,000 visit the emergency room. CO poisoning can be prevented with a few precautions: What To Do • Never use portable electric generators, charcoal grills or other similar devices inside your home, garage or in any confined area that can let carbon monoxide collect.

• Have your chimney, fireplace and woodstoves inspected before every heating season.

• Turn off space heaters before leaving a room or going to sleep.

• Never run your car engine for more than a few moments in a garage, even if the door to the outside is open. Fumes can build up quickly and can spread to the living area of your home.

• Look for clues that home appliances may be malfunctioning.

Common indicators include decreased hot water supply, soot on appliances, moisture inside windows, and furnaces not heating properly.

Refresh Your Home for Spring Reorganize cluttered areas If a room (or rooms) in your house are in disarray, start by reorganizing those often-used spaces to give them a like-new look and feel. Begin by removing everything from the room - including the furniture, if you’re able and separate your belongings into boxes or piles based on what you plan to put back in the room, move to another location and throw away or donate. Once you’ve cleaned the space, resituate the necessary furniture then place items you’re keeping back in their places in tidy fashion so they’re easy to locate.

• Install at least one carbon monoxide detector, connected to a monitoring center that operates 24/7, on every level of your home. Real protection comes from ADT—keeping your family safe from poisonous CO gas that can cause dizziness, unconsciousness and possibly death if undetected.

A Look Back…

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel

Life insurance is a product few people want to think about.

That’s perfectly understandable, as life insurance forces men and women to consider their own mortality. But life insurance is not something adults should avoid, especially if they have dependents.

Many people should consider life insurance when estate planning so they can provide security for their loved ones. But life insurance is a purchase unlike any other, and people may be confused or intimidated when attempting to purchase life insurance policies.

Deciding if you need coverage While life insurance seems like the kind of thing every person should have, that’s not necessarily the case. For example, single men and women with no dependents and no tax or debt concerns generally do not need life insurance. If you are single but have tax issues or a considerable amount of debt, then a life insurance policy can be used to pay those debts upon your death. Adults with dependents, such as a spouse and/or children, should consider purchasing life insurance, which can help your surviving dependents maintain their quality of life and pay their bills in the wake of your death.

Buying life insurance Much like various other types of insurance, life insurance can be purchased from an insurance agent or via an insurance company’s website.

When choosing a company from which to buy a life insurance policy, look for a company with a strong rating, as no one wants to end up being burned by a life insurance provider who goes out of business. Some people prefer to work with independent brokers who can share information about products from various providers rather than just the ones offered by the firm company-affiliated agents work for.

Choosing coverage When choosing coverage, you will no doubt be asked if you prefer term insurance or permanent insurance. Term insurance is the least expensive life insurance, and such policies only last for a predetermined number of years. Men and women may purchase life insurance policies if they only want life insurance until they retire or until their children reach adulthood. Permanent insurance is more expensive and will last from the moment you purchase the policy until your death. Many people choose permanent life insurance policies so the money their beneficiaries receive upon their death can be used to pay estate taxes. In addition, there is an investment component to permanent insurance policies, as a portion of the premiums on such policies is invested (policies will spell out how the money is invested) and allowed to grow taxfree so long as the policy is open. Term insurance only provides protection with no investments.

When choosing how much coverage to purchase, it’s easy to go overboard and aim for as much as possible. However, many financial advisors suggest purchasing enough coverage to pay for funeral costs and a level of income replacement you can comfortably afford. If your spouse does not work, you should consider purchasing enough coverage so he or she can afford to pay the family’s day-to-day cost of living expenses.

Life insurance merits serious consideration, and adults should do their homework and fully understand a policy before signing any contracts.

On Jan. 8, 1835, President Andrew Jackson achieves his goal of entirely paying off the United States’ national debt.

It was the only time in U.S. history that the national debt stood at zero, and it precipitated one of the worst financial crises in American history, the Panic of 1837.

On Jan. 9, 1861, a Union merchant ship is fired upon as it tries to deliver supplies to Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina, in the first exchange of shots between North and South. The shots were fired by gunner George E. Haynsworth, a cadet at The Citadel in Charleston.

On Jan. 7, 1927, the Harlem Globetrotters basketball team travels west from Chicago to play their first game, in Hinckley, Illinois. Coach Abe Saperstein decided to promote his new team’s racial makeup by naming them after Harlem, the famous black neighborhood of New York City.

In the not-so-distant past, extended families frequently lived in close proximity to one another. Such families shared meals and experiences and essentially grew up together. Nowadays, families separate for various reasons, such as job opportunities and cost of living concerns.

While there are advantages to spreading out, there are also some disadvantages, namely that grandparents and grandchildren may not see one another frequently enough. Even though people of different age groups may not entirely have the same interests, the interactions between generations can benefit both young people and their aging relatives.

Fostering intergenerational connections is a great way to broaden social circles, improve communication and learn new things.

Resolve to be a better parent Parenting is a challenging, yet rewarding role that many adults take on lovingly. Data from the U.S. Census Bureau indicates that there were 73.7 million children under age 18 living in families in 2016. Canadian Census results found roughly 5.8 million children living in private households with parents in 2016, the most recent year for data.

Parenting is a hard job that evolves as children age, and moms and dads may wonder if there is anything they can do to be better parents. Raising successful, happy and well-rounded children takes effort, and the following tips may help parents along the way.

Take care of yourself

It’s hard for parents to serve as good role models for their children if they aren’t taking care of themselves. A little self-reflection and some positive changes can help parents set strong examples for their youngsters.

Beware of comparisons

Parents often wonder what they may be doing wrong, especially when they see other children meeting milestones that their children may not be achieving.

According to Harvey Karp, MD, author of “The Happiest Toddler,” babies develop rapidly and each child is unique. One set of abilities is bound to develop faster than another, Karp says. Making comparisons between children, whether it’s with youngsters’ siblings or friends, can be a recipe for conflict and self-doubt.

Speak with a pediatrician if you have concerns about development.

Be an active listener

Being an attentive parent includes listening to youngsters. Encourage kids to share their points of view on activities or topics they feel are important. That can reassure children they know they can come to you without fear of reprisal, even when they may have been out of line. This strengthens the bond between parents and their children.

Explain you are human, too

Sometimes children need to see that their parents are not perfect to realize they needn’t be perfect either. The website Aha Parenting! recommends parents apologize when they are wrong and use such instances to teach kids that adults are human, too.

These are just a few of the many steps parents can take to form strong bonds with their children and be the best parents possible.

DID YOU KNOW? Wedding insurance can provide couples who are about to tie the knot with some peace of mind on their big days. Many wedding venues require couples carry liability coverage in the case of accidents, injuries or incidents. But wedding insurance policies may even surprise couples with regard to what they cover. Each policy is different, and couples may be able to customize wedding insurance policies to cover a host of items. Many policies cover couples in the wake of cancellations or postponements due to weather, damage to the facility or even a change of heart on the part of the couple holding the policy. But some policies may provide coverage for couples should their photographers and/or caterers fail to appear.

Policies may also cover lost, stolen or damaged items, including equipment rentals, bridal growns, jewelry, and/or gifts. Couples should speak with their wedding venue representative to determine if the venue offers extended coverage and ultimately compare those offerings to policy estimates they receive on their own.

Thank you to all the workers at Dollar General, Big M, the Post Office and C Bank, from Grandma Carol Creswell of Bloomfield.

I want to thank the nice person at the Tim Hortons Spencerport drive For weeks, our local grocery store has posted that they were reducing hours, closing at 8 p.m. Well, ok, but on Saturday, Nov. 9, I pulled into the parking lot at 7:51, and the employees were already in their cars, pulling out of the mostly empty employee parking lot. I checked cellphone time. I thought there might be a few left inside, so I watched as another customer went to the door, which was already locked. She shook the door.

No one came, so she walked back to her car, angrily yelling to me they were closed early.

I pulled out of the parking lot at 7:55 and went to another town to buy what I needed, but I had driven about 5 miles out of my way to buy locally; I won’t make that mistake again. Management is failing when employees close store before posted hours, alienating customers.

thru. I was just grabbing some coffee and a hot cocoa for myself and my handicapped mother.

It was Christmas Eve at about 11:30 am. When I pulled up to the window, the girl said the person ahead of me had paid for me and the car behind me.

What a wonderful thing to do! I have never had someone do that for me.

Your kindness will be paid forward. Thank you and Merry Christmas. - Sheila Ryan, Spencerport On 12/20/19 I was shopping at Tops Market in Batavia and got more restarted local operation - I drive by this farm Monday through Friday, and these birds are packed tighter than sardines. Most of them never venture outside. Even worse -- the barn doors remained open, with some birds outdoors due to crowding and others packed against open doors, even during our recent snow and extreme cold. I never see anyone around to monitor them. I fully support buying local, but these birds do not seem “as advertised” or well cared for. Drive by and see for yourselves before buying.

This is shameful.

I hate to rant; I really do but walking the canal from [local spot] to [local spot] should make all who do it rant in similar fashion. I’m a dog lover.

than I planned on. So, I asked for some help getting the bags to my car. It was very busy in the store due to Christmas (no help showed up) when suddenly a handsome stranger asked if he could help me and I said “yes.” He ignored the cell phone call from my plumber who called on the way to my car and put all away all my groceries and shut the trunk.

I blessed him and he wished me a Merry Christmas. Was this a young Santa Claus? I think so… This was so nice of a stranger. Don’t know his name, but he was so polite.

He brightened this 87-year old’s day! absolutely unacceptable! What are you thinking when you allow your dog to do so before you just walk away and forget about it? Equally disgusting is the person(s) who actually picks it up, bags it and then leaves the filled bag along the path on a stone or under a bush. What are you thinking?

Are you entitled? Do you think someone else will just come along and pick it up? You are responsible for your dog’s mess. I am not!

We are getting to that time of year when the weather becomes freezing and harsh.

Some people have been misinformed when it comes to dogs surviving outside during these times. They want to be warm and comfortable just like we do. Bring your pets inside, no matter what you use them for. No one around you wants to listen to them cry and bark all day and night because they’re hurting, freezing or going crazy in the tiny space they’re kept in 24/7.

MaryAnn, you are a Christmas angel. The boys appreciated the clothes.

I work as a cashier, and today I had what was probably the worst experience since I started cashiering with a mother and father and their completely undisciplined child.

The child seemed to be about seven or eight years old, so I’m not blaming him. The child shoved past me, tried to steal my personal property, attempted to press buttons on the cash register, and generally disturbed everyone in not only my line, but in my neighbors’ lines, as well. The parents pretty much just let their child run free. I sincerely hope that both are embarrassed about this. If you can’t control your child, then one of you should take him outside to your car.

Please do not come back to my store, or if you do, please stay out of my line. Everyone in the vicinity was mortified by your child’s behavior.

New Year, New Look!

Nothing can be more frustrating than wanting to begin a project only to spend precious time looking for tools. Almost as important as the investment in tools is the investment in tool storage.

Hardwood or metal tool chests feature various drawers and cabinets that can house tools of different sizes. By keeping tools in a chest, they’re easy to find and more likely to stay sharp and in good condition.

Metal tools should be stored in a cool, dry area, as dust and moisture can cause rusting issues on metal tools. One way to alleviate rust is to spray metal tools with a product like WD-40 to serve as a moisture barrier, then store them in closed drawers or containers.

All tools do not necessarily have to be stored in a garage or work shed. Many homeowners like to keep smaller tools in the house so that frequently used items are within reach. A hammer, wrench, pliers, and a few screwdrivers are handy tools to have around inside the house.

TYPES OF AERATORS Spike aerator: The experts at Pennington note that spike aerators employ solid, spike-like tines to poke holes in the soil. These aerators leave the spikes in the soil. Some people wear spiked aeration shoes while walking around the yard to mimic the effects of spike aerators.

THE BIBLE SAYS: “Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might know that I am the LORD your God.” (Deuteronomy 29:6) “Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.”

(Proverbs 20:1) “It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:”(Proverbs 31:4) “Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!” (Isaiah 5:11) “But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.” (Isaiah 28:7) “Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.” (Isaiah 29:9) For further help, write: Burke Hill Bible Church, P.

STUDY SHOWS GIFT CARDS CAN GIVE A BOOST TO SMALL BUSINESSES (NAPSI)—If you own or run any of America’s nearly 31 million small businesses, recent research reveals gift cards can be a real gift to your bottom line. According to a 2019 Small Business Gift Card Study commissioned by First Data, now Fiserv, gift card programs help small business owners bring in more sales, attract new customers, and build relationships with their customers.

Small Businesses, Big Benefits Not only do gift cards benefit a business, consumers expect them to be available at their favorite stores. In fact, 74 percent of consumers surveyed said they regularly buy gift cards from small businesses. And for business owners, offering gift cards can:

The Town of Elba is seeking residents interested in serving on one of the Town’s following boards:

Town Board, Zoning Board or Board of Assessment Review.

Letters of interest and resumes should be directed to Town Supervisor, Donna Hynes, 7 Maple Avenue, PO Box 295, Elba, NY 14058 by January 24, 2020. Please indicate in your letter which board(s) you would be interested in.

• Grow sales—Nearly 80 percent of consumers said if they have a gift card valued at 88 cents, they will visit the store to redeem it • Attract customers—90 percent of consumers who receive a gift card from a small business they have never visited said they would shop at that business and return in the future • Build loyalty—56 percent of consumers who shop at small businesses join their loyalty or frequent shopper programs. Of consumers that join loyalty programs at small businesses, 73 percent said gift cards are a preferred way for their loyalty to be rewarded.

Restaurants, Coffee Shops, and Salons When asked about the ideal gift card to give someone, or receive and use themselves, consumers agreed on their top three: casual dining restaurants; coffee shops; personal services (i.e., hair or nail salon).

Other popular businesses from which to give or receive gift cards included supermarket/ grocery stores, entertainment/movie theaters, and quick-serve restaurants.

Employee Incentives Gift cards are often a popular choice for employers who use them to say thank you or reward a job well done. For 90 percent of consumers, they’ve not only received a gift card from their employer, but view it as an incentive to reward their hard work.

Additional Findings • When purchasing gift cards, 60 percent of consumers prefer plastic cards or paper certificates, but interest in digital gift cards is growing.

• 58 percent of small business owners said plastic gift cards cost the business owner less to manage than paper certificates. Learn more about gift cards at www.firstdata. com/giftcards.

Please call Sydney Clark regarding hiring, benefits & applications.

Email: sydneyc@fmlbuffalo.com. Phone 716-818-2523

When leaving a job, professionals should always be courteous and considerate toward their current employers.

Emphasize organization. Much of the stress associated with relocating can be traced to the logistics of uprooting oneself and one’s family.

Men and women who are unaccustomed to making lists may want to start, as doing so can help keep track of all the tasks that need to be completed before hitting the road. Various unique tasks, from canceling utilities to changing insurance policies, must be completed before moving, and it’s easy to lose track of what’s been done and what hasn’t. Maintaining a to-do list and checking off tasks as they’re completed can simplify the relocation process.
