FLU-FIGHTING TIPS: Frequent hand-washing with soap and water can stop germs from spreading. When soap and water is not available, alcohol-based hand sanitizers can help. People also should avoid touching their eyes, noses and mouths after being in public places or around someone who is ill.

REMEDY LANDSCAPE DRAINAGE PROBLEMS When confronted with drainage issues that cannot be remedied by other methods, homeowners may need to install drainage systems. Such systems often employ French drains that are built through or around the perimeter of a property. French drains are typically a trench that contains perforated plastic pipe and is backfilled with gravel. Water runs into these channels and gets swept away by the piping. Do-it-yourselfers may want to try installing drainage systems themselves. However, because excavation is necessary, it’s often best to have the property inspected and marked for utilities, then have the drainage system installed by professionals.

GUIDE TO PROPER TREE PRUNING When deciding how much to prune, less is usually more. All pruning can put some level of stress on the tree and increase its vulnerability to disease and insect infestation. A good rule of thumb is to never prune more than 25 percent of the crown. According to experts at TreeHelp.com, living branches should comprise at least two-thirds the height of the tree. In some instances, the rules may need to be bent if trees are interfering with utility lines or to meet community laws. However, always prune minimally to avoid damaging the tree.

Refresh Your Home for Spring Get rid of grime A whole season’s worth of dirt and dust accumulates during the cold winter months. A deep clean inside and out can restore your home to its former glory. Inside, take time to launder all of your linens, including curtains, rugs and bedding. Move furniture to vacuum behind and below, and don’t overlook dust and dirt magnets like mirrors, light fixtures and the insides of cabinets, especially higher shelves that see infrequent use. Outdoors, hose off or power-wash surfaces like windows, siding, decks and concrete to restore a crisp, clean appearance.

Unique gifts ideas for Mother’s Day Parts unknown: Moms who love to travel and experience other cultures would certainly appreciate a trip abroad or a domestic getaway to a region of the country they have yet to explore. Before booking any such trips, speak to your Mom and ask if there’s anywhere in particular she’d like to go. Such trips can be expensive, so adults might want to speak to their siblings and finance such an excursion together.

HOW TO ROAD TRIP IN AN ELECTRIC CAR Look for EV-friendly lodging. Many hotels now feature charging stations exclusively for guests with EVs. Some hotels include the cost of utilizing such stations in their parking fees, while others may charge an additional amount. Either way, the convenience of finding a hotel with its own charging station outweighs any extra costs, as cars can be charged overnight while guests are asleep, leaving more time to travel in a vehicle that’s fully charged each morning.

We Care About

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

Your Smiles

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Can Prilosec be Taken for More than 14 Days?

by Dr. Steve Sokolovskiy

TELEDENTISTRY Necessity is often called “the mother of Invention,” and during the recent challenges in providing routine healthcare, groundbreaking innovations have aided the practice of dentistry. Teledentistry is a recent innovation involving a dental health professional providing visual examinations or a professional consultation via technology and digital tools, such as video, to better serve their patients. Recent studies proved that teledentistry eliminated the unnecessary stress of getting to the dentist for many patients, especially those without reliable means of transportation or not living in close proximity to quality dental care. Teledentistry features also help determine if there is a dental emergency requiring an immediate office visit or if a patient’s condition can wait until his or her next routine dental checkup.

As part of their healthcare team we encourage our patients to make the commitment to do what it takes

to keep their teeth and gums in the best of shape. Problems with your oral health?

DEAR DR. ROACH: What’s the story with Prilosec? Doctors

P.S. In July of 1994, teledentistry got its first true opportunity when pictures of 15 patients’ mouths were transmitted from Fort McPherson, Georgia, to Fort Gordon, roughly 120 miles away.

MINIMIZE DARK CIRCLES UNDER THE EYES Undereye circles and swelling can be alleviated when people get to the source of the problem. A combination of treating the sources and masking the issue can help. In severe cases, individuals should visit their dermatologists.

routinely tell people with GERD or acid stomach to take this forever. Yet it clearly describes only a 14-day treatment on the box. A physician assistant told me that because of a rare infrequent condition some users have that the manufacturer is legally bound to post the 14-day limit, but that the general population can safely ignore it. Can you enlighten and reassure those of us whose physicians have said to take it long term? -- C.D.C. ANSWER: The patient instructions in the over-the-counter versions of proton pump inhibitors, such as omeprazole (Prilosec), do recommend a 14-day course. However, longer courses may indeed be prescribed by a licensed prescriber, such as a PA. Even so, there are relatively few people who need lifelong medication. Those who do may have a condition such as Barrett’s esophagus, in which PPIs -- the most potent medical treatment to suppress stomach acid -- are necessary. They not only relieve symptoms, they are also prescribed in hopes of reducing the risk of developing cancer of the esophagus. The data on this are still not clear.

For people with acid reflux (also called gastroesophageal reflux disease), PPIs are usually not needed lifelong.

However, it may still be reasonable to use these drugs long term if the prescriber feels the benefit outweighs the risk.

There are several risks of long-term use of PPIs. Stomach acids are important in protecting against bacteria, and two kinds of bacterial infections are more common in PPI users. The first is in the colon, especially of Clostridium difficile, where PPI users are about 30% more likely to be infected and may do so even without the antibiotic use that is the most common risk factor for C. diff. The second is pneumonia, although the apparent association may not be as strong as formerly thought.

Low stomach acid may decrease absorption of vitamins and minerals, especially magnesium, iron and vitamin B12.

PPIs were thought to increase the risk of a rare tumor, gastric carcinoid, based on data from rats, and of colon cancer.

Those risks have not been seen in humans. Early data suggest increased risk of kidney disease and dementia. That risk appears to be small, if it even exists.

Long-term PPI use has some risk of side effects and should be used only when there are benefits to PPIs that can’t be obtained with other treatments, including other medications and lifestyle changes. This especially includes better diet, weight loss when appropriate and not eating right before bed. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

ASSISTIVE DEVICES HELP PEOPLE REMAIN MOBILE Disabilities affect people from all walks of life. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that around 55 million Americans have a disability of some kind. Of these people, 33 million have a disability that makes it difficult for them to carry out some daily activities. Statistics Canada states that, as of 2012, 13.7 percent of the population age 15 years or older reported having a disability that could impact daily life.

People with disabilities may need assistive devices to reclaim some measure of their independence. For example, millions of people rely on wheelchairs or walking aids to get around. These are called assistive technology and rehabilitative devices, which include tools, equipment or products that can help people with disabilities get around more easily.

These devices may be as small as magnifying glasses for reading to as large as wheelchairs.

The National Institutes of Health state that 2.2 million people in the U.S depend on wheelchairs for day-to-day tasks and mobility. More than six million use canes, walkers or crutches to assist with mobility.

Assistive devices can be highly effective, but only when they are used properly and safely. Assistive devices should be measured for each user. Many walkers are height-adjustable. The width of a device also is important. A walker or another device that is too wide can affect mobility or require modifications to be made around the home. Weight is another consideration. The device should be lightweight so it can be maneuvered, but also weigh enough to provide enough stability to keep users upright.

Users should proceed slowly and favor their stronger sides when relying on canes or walkers. Devices should not be used to climb atop other items like step stools. Children should not be allowed to play with or ride on assistive devices. If there are safety belts or locks on any assistive technology, they should be put in place before use to prevent further injury.

WEDDING REGISTRY TIPS Don’t hesitate to include expensive items on your registry. Couples also may be hesitant to include especially expensive items on their wedding registries. However, the couples’ parents and other close relatives may be honored to purchase more expensive items, so couples should not feel embarrassed to include them on their lists.

It’s also important to note that many retailers, after couples’ wedding days have come and gone, discount registry items that weren’t purchased. So even if no one purchases the more expensive items, including them on a registry may significantly reduce their cost for couples who want to buy such items themselves after tying the knot.

ACCLIMATING TO A NEW NEIGHBORHOOD Get involved If you have children, you may have the advantage of meeting people at school functions or at the bus stop. Volunteer with the PTA/PTO or sign up to coach youth sports or serve as a scout leader. These opportunities will help expand the number of people you meet in your new community.

HOW TO DETERMINE IF IT’S TIME TO DOWNSIZE

REAL ESTATE SECTION

Space: Many people love the extra space that single-family homes provide. But seniors can take a walk through their homes and see how many rooms they still use on a consistent basis. If much of the home is unused, seniors can probably downsize without adversely affecting their daily lives.

Open House Saturday 4/30 from 11am-1pm Call 716-860-2222 to schedule your showing!

8564 Lake Street Rd., LeRoy: 5 beds, 2.5 baths, 2,896 sq. ft., 4-story barn, 3 car garage/ workshop, coop, 14.3 acres w/trails, inground pool, pond. $289,900

AUTO SECTION

RIDESHARING SAFETY TIPS Confirm vehicle maintenance and inspections. Private individuals and some smaller ridesharing services drive fewer hours per week than many taxi companies. That means personal vehicles may be in better shape than taxis. Drivers must maintain their vehicles and have them inspected according to local regulations. Passengers can ask to see service records and should only accept rides in vehicles that appear to be in good repair.

SENIOR NEWS By Matilda Charles Surviving Inflation Recent government figures outlined food price increases for one month. The numbers are grim.

Fruits and vegetables went up 2.3%, the highest since 2010. Dairy went up 1.9%, the highest since 2011. Cereals and bakery items went up 1.1%.

Averaged over the past 12 months, food prices have risen 8.6% (the highest increase since 1981), with poultry and fish climbing 13% and beef soaring 16%.

Wow! We knew it was bad because each time we go to the grocery store, we’re spending more to get less. But to see the figures laid out in print just brings home how bad things have gotten.

Bloomberg (www.bloomberg.com), whose economists we need to keep an eye on, predicts that this year we’ll pay an additional $5,200 for all household items (including gas, heating fuel and everything else) and services, which it calculates at $433 per month.

We need to reconsider how we feel about food banks. We seniors generally don’t want to do that, saying, “Oh, others need it more.” Well, at this point, maybe we are those others?

In a few days, I’ll be driving three of my senior neighbors to the food bank for the weekly pickup. It will be their first time, and they are nervous. But I made a scouting trip last week, parking across the street from the line of cars and walking over to talk to the person in charge. I was able to report back: No, they don’t take your name or ask questions (except maybe to ask if you’d prefer apple or orange juice). No, they’re not judgmental. No, it’s not leftover expired food, and the fruits and vegetables were fresh and lovely. The people were friendly and welcoming, happy to do what they were doing.

Just go to the food bank. You won’t be judged. (c) 2022 King Features Synd., Inc.

This week’s puzzle answer is elsewhere in this paper.

TAKING THE PAIN OUT OF LIVE EVENT MANAGEMENT (NAPSI)—Anyone involved in running a theater, festival, or a sporting or live music event knows all too well the difficulty of doing it on your own. Some event managers turn to third parties like Eventbrite or Ticketmaster to get help with critical ticket sales, but one of the biggest pain points is finding an effective ticketing solution that supports their brand. When ticketing, marketing, fundraising and donation activities are not synchronized, event managers spend more time managing their business rather than the event itself. This leads to lost profits and angry patrons.

Enriched Care includes: • 24/7 resident care aides • Nurse oversight of Program • Medication management • Assist w/bathing, hygiene & grooming

Rent always includes: • 3 meals daily • Housekeeping weekly • Bed Linen change weekly • Transportation 5 days/wk.

• Activities & Social Events • 24/7 Security Staff • Utilities

. . . . and much more!!

Rick Blair, co-founder of Artisan Center Theater in Hurst, TX, went through years of trying different ticket brokers to increase sales, but was put off by the high fees and lack of personal attention. He also found that the solutions he tried did not work well with his other tools. “I had separate platforms for ticketing, marketing, website updates and donor management. None of them talked to each other and the entire process was a mess,” he said.

Two years ago, he discovered the Vendini ticketing platform. Now the theater has an all-in-one system to handle VIP alerts and online, mobile and box office ticket sales that integrates with e-mail, social and direct marketing.

By using Vendini’s Patron Connect, Blair and his team are notified when a donor is coming to the show and where they will be sitting. “When I get the alert, I can rush to my office, write a thank-you card, and slip it onto the donor’s seat before they arrive. That has resulted in many new donations because everyone appreciates a personal touch. Patron Connect is one of my most powerful marketing tools.”

Vendini makes event execution simpler and faster. Event managers can create an event, specify dates and times, set pricing, and start selling tickets in minutes. Vendini’s live event management software helps managers like Blair run events more easily and effectively.

S E V RA Earth Day thanks!

For the past 10 years, Riga Recreation has participated in the Monroe County Park's Earth Day celebration by holding an annual Pick Up the Parks event at all Monroe County Parks. This year's initiative at Churchville Park was an overwhelming success with 58 community members volunteering their time to pick up trash and tree damage due to recent high winds. We even had two bins filled with pharmaceutical waste products brought in. Many thanks to the following organizations that participated this year: Village of Churchville, Town of Riga, Waste management, Churchville Lions and LEO Clubs, Newman-Riga Library, Chili Soccer Assn. and students from Churchville and Chestnut Ridge Elementary Schools. Many thanks to all! - David Thomas, Recreational Supervisor, Town of Riga Thank you!

Thank you to Bob Thompson for organizing and running the 5th annual Take Pride in Hemlock Litter Pick Up. Additionally, we would like to thank all the volunteers who came out to assist in this yearly project. We had all kinds of volunteers from Livonia school's National Honor society to a local business owner to several residents as well as Little Lakes volunteers all pitching in to make a difference. This year, it was noticeable that there was much less garbage. We feel that the "Take Pride in Hemlock" is spreading through this hamlet year-round. Keep up the great work!

Grateful!

What an amazing outpouring of folks who came to the Little Lakes Community Center in Hemlock for the free trees, shrubs, and plants giveaway on April 23rd! (Perhaps 100+ came early.) A big thank you to Tawn Feeney for purchasing the seedlings and handing them out in celebration of Earth Day. A number of people who didn't receive the giveaway came inside the Center for the first time and learned about what is offered here for them. Even if we ran short on trees, we hope you'll come back and take part in our many other events and classes. Thank you to all community members for their support of our activities.

Shameful It is a shame that the ship named after the Sullivan’s war heroes is in the disarray that it is. I can’t understand how a ship of one of the most powerful nations in the world could be let go to the point of sinking at the Navel Yard.

This is a slap in the face to all Veterans and moreover the heroes it was named after and the ones who served on this ship. I am a Vietnam Vet, and I am appalled that this could happen. It is bad enough that Veterans have to wait 40 years to get a disability rating when pushed out of the service. Someone should be [held accountable] for the way this ship has ended up.

Forgetfulness It appears to me that many people have forgotten how production all over the world seemed to come to a halt because of the COVID pandemic. These shutdowns caused shortages in many products, and thus prices for those products rose. These people also seem to have forgotten the backup in the ports that prevented shipments from getting to the marketplace, which also helped to cause shortages. I believe most of our economic problems can be traced directly to COVID. Be patient. Things will get better, hopefully sooner rather than later.

Sensitivity please!

To the woman who saw my father’s work van at my house and called his employer to try to report him for “goofing off.” His employer is very aware of his whereabouts and the fact that, unlike someone like you who always has access to bathroom facilities and a kitchen, he may be entitled to a break. May your husband and children always be entitled to the same considerations. In addition, my dad had just completed a messy job around the block from you. (Yes, we know you called!) He was unable to clean himself up thoroughly afterwards, as you would have been able to do in a home or office building. So, a convenient quick stop at his daughter’s house to use her facilities allowed him to, among other things, make himself more presentable before his next call and get water to go. I hope that if your loved ones have blue collar jobs one day, you will have gained more sensitivity to these issues. I would have addressed you in person, but I am much too angry, and I want others to be aware, as well.

PAW’S CORNER

Dog Bitten in Snout Keeps Licking Wound

One-on-one personal attention.

Let us pamper your pet in our mobile unit!!

Penny Saver

PUPPY PALACE Full Grooming Services

585-682-3219 DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My dog “Jesse” was bitten on the face by another dog, injuring his snout and nose so badly that it required several stitches. I can’t get Jesse to stop licking and pawing at the wound, and now he’s tearing out the stitches. The wound looks infected. What should I do? -Kamo M. DEAR KAMO: Head straight back to the veterinarian to get the wound treated for infection and closed up again. This time, have Jesse fitted for a cone-shaped E-collar. It’s jokingly called the “cone of shame,” but is an important medical device for helping to heal just such an injury.

Dogs really don’t like E-collars, and they can cause stress, but if he’s able to paw at the wound, it must be worn. You can take it off Jesse at mealtimes so he can access his food, but it must go right back on.

There are a few other protective collars available that are more comfortable, like padded rings, but these may not stop the pawing.

Jesse’s also licking his nose, which is understandable since it probably feels weird and swollen and itchy. This can be a problem area because dogs naturally lick their nose throughout the day. The vet may give you medicine to help it heal or may recommend an overthe-counter antibiotic ointment.

Put the medicine on as directed.

Help reduce the chance of infection by having clean, fresh water for Jesse to drink (to clean his tongue before licking his nose) and replacing any manky old dog toys (which have a lot of germs) with clean chew toys. Don’t let Jesse sniff at or eat nasty stuff (dogs love roadkill and other animals’ poo) until the wounds heal.

Hi! My name is

Holly, and I’m a sweet dog. I go to school twice a week and play with my friends and learn obedience. I won Dog of the Month and my parents are so proud of me. I love them a lot! Have a good day!

Send us a photo and brief write-up of your pet and we’ll feature it. Email to: sales@gvpennysaver.com or mail to: P.O. Box 340, Avon, NY 14414. Pets will be published at discretion of GVPS.

PET OBESITY IS A GROWING PROBLEM Many pet owners would never intentionally harm their companion animals. In fact, pet owners often go above and beyond to ensure their animals are well cared for and content. However, many well-meaning people may be inadvertently harming their pets with something they provide each and every day: food.

Obesity is on the rise among pets.

The Association for Pet Obesity Prevention says that 54 percent of dogs and 59 percent of cats in the United States were categorized as overweight or obese in 2016.

That marks an increase from 52.5 percent and 58.3 percent, respectively, from four years ago.

The majority of veterinarians think that pet obesity is a significant problem and nearly half of pet owners admit that their vets have discussed a pet’s ideal weight with them during pet health visits.

Batavia Mom Susan Maniace Continues Daughter’s Legacy

BY AMANDA K. DUDEK

I

t has been said that love accepts the risk of pain. It seems this can be most truly said of motherhood. Surely, there can be no greater love than a mother’s love and no greater pain than at the loss of one’s child. Yet, many brave mothers continue to cherish and honor their children’s memories. Susan Maniace is one such mother.

Batavia native Susan Maniace was blessed with two children, her older son (29) and her daughter, Olivia. Both of her children were born with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Maniace helped them face life head on. “I never let CF hold my kids back,” she said. “I wanted them to feel they had the most normal life possible.”

Always involved with supporting local children, Maniace spent nine years running Genesee County programs for at-risk youth. Then, she began working for Pavilion Central Schools where she taught 11th grade U.S. History and Government for 22 years. Sadly, CF brought her teaching career to a close.

“My daughter, Olivia, (Liv) always had many more health issues than my son,” she explained.

As she grew older, her health problems started to increase. “In September of 2019, Liv contracted a virus that attacked her lungs.” Olivia was flown to Cleveland Clinic in Ohio where she was on life support for three weeks.

The following month, she received a double lung transplant.

Olivia Maniace created the Liv Luv Breathe Foundation before passing away in 2021.

Despite everything, Liv wasn’t miserable. Her positive personality impacted many people, including several nurses who loved coming to her cheerful room. Sadly, on September 1st, 2021, Olivia Maniace passed away due to the complications of her treatment. She was 22-years-old.

“She was so tiny,” Maniace said. “Nurses from both Strong Memorial Hospital and Cleveland Clinic came to Liv’s celebration of life. One Cleveland nurse even got a CF tattoo in her memory.”

Susan Maniace now continues Liv Luv Breathe Care Packages in her daughter’s memory, continuing her kindhearted and generous legacy.

“We have made two big care package deliveries to two hospitals and two additional deliveries to two more hospitals,” she shared. “I have to continue what Liv started. She was always doing things for others all her life. I used to call her Mother Teresa!

I know she was so proud of Liv Luv Breathe, and I will keep it going as long as I can.”

“At first, she did very well, but after six months she contracted Post Transplant Lymphoma (PTLD),” said Maniace. “I retired from teaching in June 2020 to help care for my daughter.”

Olivia underwent chemotherapy, and although believed to be in the clear by August, she continued to get sick. In November 2020, doctors discovered her PTLD had returned. After more chemotherapy and this time, radiation as well, Olivia’s family thought she was on the mend at last.

It was during this time that Olivia began making Liv Luv Breathe care packages.

“After Liv graduated high school, she really couldn’t work or go to college due to her health,” said Maniace, adding that Olivia had enrolled in college and withdrawn three separate times. “She was already making care packages for sick girls whom others nominated, often through social media. She filled shoebox size packages with all types of comfort items like fuzzy socks, lotion, hand sanitizer, lip balm, journals, and little inspirations. Then, we would mail them.”

Understanding how hurt Olivia was not to be going off to college or getting a job like her friends, Maniace encouraged her daughter to turn her care package project into a foundation. “I wanted her to have something to look forward to and feel proud of during her own struggle. I told her, ‘What does it mean if someone is going to college or has a job? You can say you started your own foundation. That is more impressive than anything else.’”

Her daughter embraced the idea. “Every time she was out of the hospital, she would work on them,” said Maniace. But the sicker Olivia became, the harder it was for her to keep up. So, Maniace suggested delivering the care packages to the hospitals themselves so sick young women could open them when in the hospital. Liv agreed. Meanwhile, Maniace did all she could to keep her daughter’s spirits up.

“My attitude with her, even in the hospital, was that she was so lucky to come to such a nice place with such kind nurses,” she recalled. “We always brought positivity with us through positive quotes and positive décor for her hospital room.

Through everything, we focused on staying positive, being happy and giving to others. Giving to others is healing.”

Maniace is grateful for the way family friends and area communities have rallied around Liv Luv Breathe. “It is so important,” she said. “People have donated and offered to help. The Girl Scouts, of which Liv was once a member, held an ice-skating event to which fellow Girl Scouts had to bring something for Liv Luv Breathe for admission. In fact, Joe Canzoneri of Canzoneri’s Barbershop, a friend of my son, is putting on a Liv Luv Breathe Care Packages golf tournament on August 19th. The support has been amazing.”

STRANGE BUT TRUE

By Lucie Winborne * Irish author and politician Edmund Burke was not a skilled public speaker. In fact, his speeches at the House of Commons were so boring, many MPs left the building once he stood up. * While Jackie Robinson was laid up for two weeks in 1948 with a hamstring injury, the Dodgers secretly replaced him with Herschel Morowitz, a white man in black face. * Drinking seawater will cause rapid dehydration and, if enough is consumed, eventually death. Frozen seawater is a much safer alternative, since it contains only a tenth as much salt as the liquid form, due to the fact that the salt is separated from the water when freezing as it does not fit into the crystalline structure of ice.

DID YOU KNOW? How households earn their income has changed dramatically over the last several decades. According to a Pew Research Centeral analysis of the Decennial Census and American Community Surveys integrated Public Use Microdata Sample files, in 1960 only fathers worked in 70 percent of American households. That figure has dropped in each ensuing decade and by 2012 fathers were the sole earners in just 31 percent of American households. While one in four households in American were dual income households in 1960, by 2012 that figure had risen to 60 percent. While those figures represent dramatic changes, the number of households in which mothers are the sole earners has not changed all that much since 1960. In 1960, mothers were the sole earners in just 2 percent of American households. Fifty-two years later 6 percent of American households featured mothers as the sole earners.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

STRANGE BUT TRUE By Lucie Winborne * The first washing machine was invented in 1782 by H. Sidgier of Great Britain. His design was later honed by other inventors, including William Blackstone, who invented the first at-home washer as a birthday gift for his wife.

* “If you add a teaspoon of sugar to your biscuit mix or to the dough for rolls, it will help them to brown well, and they will come out of the oven with golden tops.”

-- J.R. in Michigan * Two ways to save money on laundry expenses: First, spring and summer are an excellent time to get into line-drying clothes -- especially towels and jeans that take longer to dry thoroughly in a dryer. Then, clean out and shorten your dryer’s vent hose to make your machine more energy efficient. It cuts down on drying time, too, saving you time AND money.

Are you unemployed, age 55+ and looking for work?

* “Got an odd job coming up?

Before you go out and purchase an expensive limited-use tool, check with friends and neighbors to see if you can borrow instead of buying. Check with local hardware stores to see if it’s cheaper to rent, too.” -- S.L. in Kentucky * “I have pets that leave hair and dirt on the couch. When I wash my cushion covers, one thing I always do is put them back on the pillows when they are not quite dry. They stretch better when they’re a little bit damp. I had a terrible time a few years ago when I let them dry all the way and couldn’t get them back on!”

-- H.P. in Arizona

8141 EAST MAIN RD. LEROY, NY 14482 ADVICE FOR A SUCCESSFUL CAREER CHANGE Research the job market. Look into the industries for the field you are considering. Is it the right time for success in this field? Industries tend to ebb and flow. Do not leave a job only to find the next career has few, if any, openings. Job growth projections are available through resources like the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

All local deliveries.

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