STRANGE BUT TRUE By Lucie Winborne * An armadillo’s shell is so hard that it can deflect a bullet, as a Texas man discovered to his chagrin when he took aim at one. The bullet ricocheted into his jaw and he had to be airlifted to a hospital, while the armadillo strolled away unscathed.

Today’s auto manufac turers understand that maximized cargo space is a feature many buyers w ant in their new vehicles. But even the most spacious car or SUV may not alw ays provide the right amount of space drivers need to haul large items. In such instanc es, roof rac ks are an asset, especially to avid travelers or outdoor enthusiasts.

Roof racks benefit travelers and everyday motorists in numerous w ays. Racks make it easy to transport cargo that does not fit the shape or size of a car trunk or cargo area of an SUV. Also, roof racks enable drivers to free up interior space and keep sight lines open, contributing to driver safety.

By boosting a vehicle’s storage space, roof racks essentially transform the top of a car or truck into a second trunk. M oving items up and outside of the car can free up additional legroom and give passengers greater comfort on longer trips. Plus, roof racks provide a sturdy surface on w hich to store kayaks, mountain bikes, furniture, surfboards, and more w ithout damaging the paint and finish of the vehicle.

Roof racks are sold in a variety of styles and applications. Roof boxes and bags also c an be purchased, if you have items that need to be protected from the elements.

M any auto manufacturers offer roof racks as an option on new vehicles, or they can be installed after-market by a qualified professional.

W hen purchasing roof racks, drivers should consider their needs and the size of the items they’re most likely to store.

Warning Signs A Tire Is About To Go Flat Tires often produce w arning signs that a flat or blow out is about to em erge, so drivers w ho w ant to avoid such unfortunate developm ents can inspect their tires for the follow ing signs.

• Varying w ear: Tires should exhibit the sam e type of w ear.

The w ear on front tires and back tires m ay differ, but one front tire should have the sam e am ount of w ear as the other and the sam e goes for the back tires. Uneven tread on tires indicates that the tire w ith m ore w ear could be about to go out.

• Worn tread: Em ploy the quarter test. Insert a quarter into the tread of the tire, w ith George Washington’s head upright. If you can see the hairline of the United States’ first president, then you need to replace the tire. Perform this test on each of your vehicle’s four tires.

• Low pressure: M ake sure their tires are at the m anufacturerrecom m ended pressure, w hich can be found in a vehicle ow ner’s m anual or by calling the tire m anufacturer or visiting their w ebsite. An under inflated tire is under stress that can cause the tire to blow out.

• Vibration: A car that vibrates excessively m ay do so because tires are dam aged. Whatever is behind a car that is vibrating, drivers should im m ediately take the car to their m echanic for an inspection.

• Physical damage to the tire: Som etim es tires exhibit physical dam age like bulges or cuts, and such signs could m ean a flat tire or blow out is just around the corner.

the age of 70 and just now be diagnosed with bipolar disorder? Are there degrees of impairment, like with autism -- some worse than others? -- C.S. ANSWER: The hallmark of bipolar disease is mania.

“Mania” has a specific meaning in psychiatry: It’s a very elevated mood, associated with high amounts of energy and an inability to think clearly, especially to see the consequences of one’s actions. Some common features of people in a manic episode include an inflated sense of self-worth, distractibility and racing ideas. People can be very talkative and feel little need to sleep.

Dangerously, people in a manic phase can spend large amounts of money and have many sexual indiscretions.

All diseases have a spectrum of severity, and some are quite wide. With bipolar disease in particular, however, there are four distinct forms of the disease. Bipolar I is the classic form, once called “manic depressive illness,” where people have episodes of mania, alternating with periods of normal behavior or depression. People with Bipolar II have depressive episodes and some “hypomanic” episodes: periods of high energy (and sometimes profound productivity), usually without the negative aspects of the “full” manic episode.

Cyclothymia is a rapid cycling between hypomania and mild depression. There is a fourth type, “unspecified,” where people have abnormal mood elevations but don’t meet criteria for the other types.

Bipolar disease usually has its onset in early adulthood, but sometimes in teens or even childhood. However, I have rarely seen bipolar disease diagnosed in someone as old as 70. It isn’t always clear whether the disease is just manifesting that late, or whether it has been around for many years, but compensated for by the person.

Some people don’t interact with a lot of family or friends, and manic or hypomanic episodes might be missed.

It’s possible the 70-year-old in question has a quite mild form.

Treatment for bipolar disorder can dramatically improve the quality of life of the person and of the family and friends affected by the illness. ***

The free booklet also contains helpful information about achieving monetary compensation for asbestos injuries, which hinges upon a timely filing of the claim and the ability to identify the specific asbestos products you used. In most instances, a “latency period” of several decades after exposure occurs before asbestos diseases develop, so most victims are in their 60s or older.

FORTIS SCHOOL OF NURSING AT ALL-STATE CAREER SCHOOL LAUNCHES PRACTICAL NURSING PROGRAM Program Meets Underserved Nursing Need in Philadelphia Area (NAPSI)—By 2030, the baby boomer generation, totaling more than 2.1 million in Pennsylvania, will be over 65. Many will require medical care at nonhospital settings such as long-term care facilities and community health centers. Yet, our country’s ability to care for this population will be impacted by the dwindling number of nurses.

In response, All-State Career School, a leading postsecondary institution in Essington, has launched a new Practical Nursing (PN) program to provide a pipeline of support to hospitals and other health care facilities in the South Philadelphia metropolitan area.

4. "If I sit still enough, you won't think I'm real!"

“One of our goals for this new PN program is to increase the number of well-prepared, professional, caring nurses who can be employed in this community,” said Dr. Sheila Burke, Vice President of Nursing for Education Affiliates.

The new Fortis School of Nursing at All-State Career School in Essington is the most recent offering in a network of schools managed by Education Affiliates, Inc., one of the largest nursing education providers in the U.S. The system currently educates over 4,000 nursing students nationwide and operates 29 nursing programs in 10 states.

“Southeast Pennsylvania is in dire need of nursing professionals and we’re excited to offer this new program to serve the community,” said Edward Rito, Area Campus President of All-State Career School in Essington. “We look forward to replicating the great success Fortis Institute’s practical nursing programs have experienced at its Scranton campus.”

HOW SMALL BUSINESSES CAN MAKE THE MOST OF LOCAL MARKETS Make things easy for customers. Cash was once king at community festivals and marketplaces, but the convenience of plastic and even touchless payments has long since replaced hard currency as consumers’ preferred method of payment. In fact, a recent study from Visa found that contactless payment usage in the United States grew by 150 percent between March 2019 and March 2020. Card readers are inexpensive and easy to use. Businesses can still accept cash payments, as accepting both cash and card increases the chances of making more money.

PRE-K REGISTRATION 2022-2023 PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

Dog Balks at Wheelchair DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My 9-yearold Shih Tzu “Mitzi” developed a hip problem due to an injury she suffered when much younger (she was a rescue). It’s become almost impossible for her to walk, and her veterinarian recommended she start using a “wheelie” harness to get around. The problem: Mitzi will not use the harness. It’s a struggle to get her into it, and then she just kind of lays there and whimpers once she’s in it. How can I get her to adjust to the harness? -- Claude C., Atlanta DEAR CLAUDE: You’ll need to try a couple of things: check the fit of the harness, and use some gentle encouragement (ahem, treats) to help Mitzi.

According to Eddie’s Wheels, which designs wheelchairs and support devices for pets, dogs that still have feeling or some mobility in their hind legs sometimes have more trouble adjusting to wheelchairs than dogs whose hind legs are paralyzed. Also, a poorly fitted wheelchair can cause a dog to feel uncomfortable in the harness.

So, check the fit of the wheelchair based on the manufacturer’s recommendations. If Mitzi’s wheelie allows her back legs to touch the ground, make sure that she can do so. This may alleviate her anxiety. If her back seems hunched, make sure the straps are at the correct length so she’s comfortable. If her back sags in the harness, she may need more support. And make sure her backside isn’t lifted into the air; this can cause strain on her front legs.

Once the fit is OK, give Mitzi lots of encouragement as you help her into the harness each day. Then, as she progresses, give her a reward at each step: when she first stands up in the harness, when she takes her first step, and so on. Always make it a positive experience, until she gets the hang of her new wheels.

The Livonia Elementary School will be offering half-day sessions for the 2022-2023 school year.

Leisure activities may be widely viewed as fun ways to fill up free time, but the benefits of leisure activities extend beyond beating boredom. A 2011 analysis published in the journal BBA Molecular Basis of Disease found that leisure activities have a positive impact on cognitive function and dementia. The analysis, conducted by researchers with the Aging Research Center in Stockholm who examined various studies regarding the relationship between certain activities and cognitive function, defined leisure activity as the voluntary use of free time for activities outside the home. After retirement, leisure time constitutes a large part of many retirees’ lives, and finding ways to fill that time is more beneficial than merely avoiding boredom.

The researchers behind the study concluded that the existing research is insufficient to draw any firm conclusions regarding the effects of certain types of leisure activities on the risk for dementia and cognitive decline, though they did note that multi-domain cognitive training has the potential to improve cognitive function in healthy older adults and slow decline in affected individuals.

A multi-domain approach to cognitive training involves memory, reasoning, problem-solving, and map reading, among other activities. Aging adults who embrace activities that require the use of such skills may find that they’re not only finding stimulating ways to fill their free time, but increasing their chances of long-term cognitive health as well.

Lima Horses in Crisis

BY HARRIETT RUBINS, CEO OF BEGIN AGAIN HORSE RESCUE

W

ho worries about old horses, injured horses, homeless donkeys, neglected equines? Rescues, sanctuaries, and some humane societies, that’s who. Sadly, many of the SPCAs have no facilities or resources for large animals. Winter sees rescues filled to overflowing because a growing number of owners can’t cope with added expenses incurred when pastures run out of grass or vet bills rise. No longer able to care for their horses, they seek help.

Begin Again Horse Rescue is one of the organizations that can step in, but it is full beyond capacity. It is now asking for help to find good adopters for each of eight wonderful “companion only” horses, as well as its other residents that are without use limitations. The companion horses may not be rideable, but they have good quality of life, able to spend many happy years as pets or as companions to other horses. Flora an Arabian mare, Rojo an ex-TB racehorse, Karma a draft-x mare, and Perdita a blind pony are good examples.

Flora, a beautiful Arabian mare, has a degenerative leg issue that will worsen if ridden. Rojo, an ex-racehorse, has bone chips in his knees and scars from being chased through a wire fence. Karma, a draft mare, had an accident as a baby that resulted in a pelvic fracture long since healed. Perdita is a blind large pony. Pongo is her guide.

They need to stay together, a difficult prospect to find. All adopters are required to be within a two-hour radius of Begin Again Horse Rescue.

There are others. They come to BAHR broken. We improve their lives, and when they are ready, they need soft landings.

retirement, able to care for them throughout their life.

But life changes for people too. Financial changes, divorce, severe illness or even the death of the owner or owner’s spouse are all reasons these horses find their ways to BAHR. One alternative for them may be euthanasia, which in some cases is a Perdita the pony is blind; Pongo is her “seeing eye.” valid and reasonable decision. Other fates the horses may face, if not surrendered, include abandonment and neglect, or to be sent to auction, where they risk being bought for slaughter. Although the USA has banned slaughter within the country, horses are loaded on huge trailers and shipped to Mexico or Canada, often under inhumane conditions. Unrideable horses sent to auction, given away, or sold at low prices are very much at risk of this fate.

When surrendered, the owner wants to be assured that his/her horse will be cared for during its 30+ year life. It’s a challenging, but not impossible, task to ensure. While reputable 501 (c-3) Rescues and Sanctuaries like Begin Again Horse Rescue are available, they all have limited resources and space. BAHR is run by volunteers with two parttime employees who provide continuity of care to the animals. It accepts both companion and rideable horses. The unrideable ones might take a year or more to rehabilitate and place.

Although Begin Again Horse Rescue is not a sanctuary, it keeps and maintains each equine until a good home is found. That might take years. “We don’t put animals to sleep because we are out of room,” co-founder, Jen Lilly, said.

“We are now forced to stop taking in new horses even though we have a waiting list full of horses needing our help. We will keep and maintain our residents until they are placed.”

Beautiful Aurora stood on cement in a dark stall for a year.

Her ankles developed ring bone.

Can you help, or do you know someone who can?

The Begin Again mission is to help at-risk horses, yet its facility is full. We can’t bring in another horse until some residents are adopted.

“Our staff is working as hard as it is able, and we can’t overextend any more than we already are, or we will short-change our residents,” said CEO Harriett Rubins. “These horses are no longer at risk. They are happy and healthy. They just need good homes. So, we need help finding those homes.”

Begin Again Horse Rescue, with veterinary guidance, assesses the physical and mental issues of each equine within the first weeks of it entering the program. Staff and volunteers care for them, train them, and help them to get over their fears. Some were taught to do tricks and/or liberty work to keep their minds active and develop bonds with humans. They are kind horses that need little, if any, extra maintenance to keep them comfortable. They are ready for adoption, awaiting forever homes.

When a horse can no longer do its job–can no longer race because it is too slow or injured, can no longer carry a rider, can no longer pull a wagon, but still has quality of life, BAHR believes they deserve a caring home. Many owners are committed to their horses through

Therefore, Begin Again Horse Rescue is asking for your help to place the horses that are ready to be loved and cared for by a family of their own. Through the months of December and January, adoption fees for Companion Only horses are waived, although tax deductible donations to the rescue are still appreciated. “We need to place these many wonderful horses. Please help us so that we can continue our mission. For the moment, we’re on hold,” added Harriett Rubins.

SENIOR NEWS By Matilda Charles

Looking Out for No. 1

Depending on where you live, you might be required to delay surgery because the hospital is full of COVID patients. That’s the news that’s spreading around the country.

It gets worse. If you have an emergency, the ambulance might be a long time in coming because they don’t have enough EMTs, or they might have to come from an adjacent town. Once you get to the hospital, you might be treated in a hallway because no exam rooms are open.

The biggest issues to keep us from needing medical attention are physical safety and health.

I’ve gone around my house to look at every inch of floor space to be sure there’s nothing that I could possibly trip on. I moved the laundry basket to the closet instead of leaving it near a path where I walk. In the living room I changed one frequently used lamp from a 50-75-100 watt bulb to one that brightens things up with 75-100-150 watts. I removed two small throw rugs ... just got rid of them.

Other things might seem small, but really aren’t. I found a balance class on YouTube and I’m following along every other day. I also found several videos on improving flexibility and stretching.

When it comes to diet, I made a quick call to my doctor’s office and inquired about vitamins. I was told that a low-dose vitamin C would be appropriate three times a week, and to add an orange to my diet the other days. Ask your doctor before you do this.

As much as I hate not being able to select my own items, I’ve gone back to picking up grocery orders at curbside to stay out of stores.

It’s up to us to take care of ourselves. That’s the bottom line when it comes to our health and safety. (c) 2022 King Features Synd., Inc.

Older properties tend to have a sense of charm that new ly built homes may lack. Perhaps it’s their lived-in feel or design elements that remind homeow ners of yesteryear that make older homes so popular among home buyers. W hat older homes have in character they may lack in modern amenities. For example, w hereas many homes are now built w ith energy efficiency in mind, older homes may not be so eco-friendly.

Fortunately, there are many w ays for homeow ners w ho love their older homes to keep that love going strong w hile making their homes more energy efficient at the same time.

SNOWPLOWING

As w inter w ears on, it’s not uncommon for people living in cold w eather climates to experience some cabin fever. W inter w eather confines many people to their homes, making many antsy to get out once the first signs of spring begin to appear.

In addition to contributing to cabin fever, w inter w eather can have a negative impact on indoor air quality. W hile air pollution is something most often associated w ith densely populated cities, the air inside homes is not immune to pollution, especially during long w inters w hen w indow s are often closed for months at a time. Though open w indow s in spring and summer can vastly improve indoor air quality, there are w ays to ensure that air stays fresh and healthy regardless of w hich season it happens to be.

FLU-FIGHTING TIPS: Annual flu shots administered in advance of flu season can help protect people and their families from getting the flu. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says that, in select situations, antiviral medications - which are usually prescribed to treat the flu and lessen symptoms - can reduce the chance of illness in people exposed to influenza.

Many over-the-counter medicines can alleviate symptoms of the flu, but cannot fend it off.

KITCHEN DESIGN WITH HEALTH AND ERGONOMICS IN MIND (NAPSI)—Whether you’re among the 50 million Americans over 65 (90 percent of whom hope to continue to age at home), the 60 percent of families with children at home, have other ability issues or safety concerns or think you could someday, incorporating ergonomic elements that promote a seamless experience in the kitchen can make it a more comfortable place for everyone for many years to come.

Smart Sinks Given the amount of time spent in front of the sink, selecting one that considers your lifestyle and how you cook should be a priority. Details such as the durability and hygienic qualities of a sink’s material along with its style and size can impact efficiency and comfort.

For example, the latest sink from BLANCO, a manufacturer of finely crafted sinks, is designed to enhance workflow and accommodate all users. A first of its kind, the IKON® 33” Apron 1 3/4 Bowl with Low Divide sink is made with the brand’s exclusive SILGRANIT granite composite material. Easy to clean and scratch resistant, patented SILGRANIT material is a repellent, nonporous surface that eliminates the need to use harsh chemicals when cleaning.

The IKON sink also has a convenient low divide that sits just 5 1/2” from the sink bottom, making it easier to handle large pots and baking sheets while still dividing the sink into cleaning and prepping bowls. The apron front or farmhouse design, minimizes the need to lean over as much and so helps reduce strain.

Optional accessories further enhance comfort and workflow. A floating grid provides an extra level within the sink so handling hot and heavy pots can be safer and easier. A Floating Cutting Board that fits right on top of the sink instantly creates another workspace beyond the countertop.

Faucets Semi-professional and pull-down faucet models help make clean-up more efficient with their easy-to-maneuver design and powerful dual spray features. To make washing hands, food and dishes easier, consider a faucet with sensor technology such as the BLANCO SOLENTA™ Senso Semi-Professional Kitchen Faucet that lets you turn on the water with a wave of your hand. You don’t have to touch the faucet with your hands to get them clean—or if they’re full.

Other ways to enhance the ergonomics in your kitchen include: • Use drawers instead of cabinets for storage so there’s less reaching • Install different countertop heights to accommodate various users • Raise the height of the dishwasher and oven if you can • Select nonporous counter materials like quartz that are easy to keep clean • Use LED lights for more brightness from less energy and that are cool to the touch • Consider an easy-to-clean induction cooking surface—it can reduce energy costs, too Learn More: For further facts about sinks and faucets that can make your kitchen safer, more efficient and even better looking, visit blancoamerica.com. ●

* Generally, for every degree you lower your thermostat during heating season, you reduce your energy costs by 3%. * Just in time for soup season (and my new year’s resolutions), here’s a great fat swap: Drain and rinse 2 cups of white beans and puree with a cup of no-sodium vegetable broth.

You can use this as a thickener in place of heavy cream for soups and stews. -- JoAnn

* To keep snow off your windshield, use a flannel-backed tablecloth stretched to cover both windshield and wipers. Put it flannel-side to the glass. Then you’ll be able to lift it (and the snow) off your windshield to drive. * Wondering what winter fruits and vegetables are in season? Here’s a sampling: apples, dates and pears, as well as citrus, like grapefruit, oranges and tangerines. For vegetables, consider endive, bok choy, Brussels sprouts, kale, leeks, mushrooms, parsnips, radicchio, rutabagas, sweet potatoes, turnips, yams and winter squash. * “Want to keep your pants from creasing on the hanger? Grab an empty paper-towel tube and slit it down the side. When you slip it over the bottom of the hanger, it creates a wide curve for the pants to lie across, and no more crease!” -- M.U. in Colorado * Remember that as temperatures drop and layers of clothing increase, children in a car seat need special consideration. Remove heavy coats before strapping in a small child or baby. Winter wear can compress during an accident, and it interferes with the straps.

Confused Why are we even talking about paying off college debts? They signed for the loan, then they should pay off their loan. Here’s a better idea: how about paying off medical debts instead, especially for cancer patients? School loans are a choice, cancer is not. If this administration wants to patronize and buy votes here’s a better way to earn them.

S E V RA Hometown People are Awesome We at the Livonia Historical Society would like to express our sincere appreciation to Wanda’s Restaurant, Valarie Singleton, and all of the ladies and gentlemen who baked goods, purchased baked goods and supported us during our Holiday Bake Sale. You know we could not have done it without all of you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. We can all be grateful for living in the Town of Livonia, Community Support & Spirit is great. Thank you!

Thank you, Tammy!

Thank you to Tammy at Gourmet Goodies in Victor for always welcoming me and my little ones with a big smile when we swing by after school for a croissant! When we stopped in for our Christmas cookies, you even had a present for my toddler.

He is still talking to everyone about the trucks Tammy gave him!

We can’t wait to stop by the new location this spring, but we will miss you until then!

Memories I thought of this year, 2021,a lot; the loss of people you love that are not here, and the appreciation of others who are here. – The Mother

The best present Instead of spending all your time running around, looking for the toy your child wants, why not give them the best present ever: your time? With all the problems out in the world today such as the shortages of supplies, Covid-19 and its mutations, and all of the environmental disasters, we could better use this time to remember what the season is all about and put Christ back into Christmas.

Road work Again, [local road] is closed in the same location by the same dip with no word when--if ever--it will be repaired. Why am I paying taxes in this town? It has been 35+ years that I have been here.

I curse the day that I bought this property. It seems like the only solution is to move out of [local town] and New York State.

Death of a senator The death of former Senator from Kansas, Robert Dole, was a sad day for the United States. It’s a shame that all politicians aren’t like Senator Dole in that he loved his country and put it ahead of his political party. He knew how to work together with his opponents to come up with a solution that would best serve the country as a whole. It may be too late for most of us to say thank you to him, but all politicians can still say thanks by following his lead in putting the welfare of our country ahead of their political party.

Drink, Drive & Toss I’m so disgusted with my neighbors or the users of my rural, partially-seasonal and dead-end road. As I walk my dogs and constantly pick up your garbage, “the beer can bandit” and “the tea tosser,” among others, are weekly and randomly tossing beer cans, tea containers, and other containers out of their vehicles’ windows. They apparently continue to drink and toss while driving down this road. It is so disheartening that these selfish people have no regard for the environment or for others.

UNDERSTANDING LIFE INSURANCE Choosing coverage. 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.

Eugenia B. Elflein “Jean” December 27, 2021 Lima: At age 93. She is survived by her loving daughter, Marianne ( James) Klick; sister, Anneliese (Markus) Hettle; 5 grandchildren; 4 great-grandchildren; several nieces and nephews. Jean was predeceased by her husband, Wilhelm “Willy” Elflein; daughter, Ramona Pogue; grandsons, William Klick and James Klick, and 4 siblings.

Jean was born on June 11, 1928 in Germany. She survived World War II as a teenager, and married her husband, Willy, in 1950. The family emigrated to America in 1956 with their two daughters. They immediately found employment, learned to speak English and became US citizens. Jean worked at Bausch & Lomb and Willy was a mason.

The family moved to Honeoye Falls in 1964 where they bought a tavern. They called it Willy’s Friendly Tavern. In 1985 they sold the tavern and semi retired to Lima where they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. Jean volunteered at the Lima and Avon group homes until she was 90 years old. She will be missed by her Honeoye Falls and Lima area friends.

Services and interment will be held at a time to be announced in the Spring of 2022. Interment Honeoye Falls Cemetery. In lieu of flowers memorials may be made to Lima Volunteer Ambulance, P.O. Box 355, Lima, NY 14485 or Lima Fire Department, P.O. Box 29A, Lima, NY 14485.

Charles P. Rinere December 31, 2021 CONESUS LAKE - Chuck died at home surrounded by his loving family on December 31, 2021 at the age of 68 after a long illness.

Chuck was predeceased by his father, Charles R. Rinere. Chuck retired in 2013 as a Captain and professional firefighter for the Town of Gates after a 35 year career there. He loved hunting and spending time with his family at Conesus Lake.

Chuck’s Funeral Mass was held Wednesday, January 5, 2022 at 10 AM at St. Rose Church, Lima. Interment St. Rose Cemetery, Lima.

“Amusement is the happiness of those who cannot think...” ~ Alexander Pope Although Pope was an English poet who lived during the early 1700s, his thought about amusement is extremely pertinent today, almost three centuries later. In fact, it may well be one of the eternal truths of all times.

It is only natural that we like to be amused from time to time, particularly after hard work has earned us a little relief.

However, there are too many people for whom being amused is a way of life. If these people would give themselves a chance to think, they might find a far greater satisfaction.

We can provide a dignified and comforting funeral service at a price within the means of any family. The decision on price is always made by the family we serve.

Jerry Dougherty - Jeff Deragon - Jim Murray THE BENEFITS OF PREPLANNING YOUR FUNERAL Preplanning ensures your wishes are honored. Men and women who formalize their funeral plans will ensure their wishes are honored. That can give men and women peace of mind and will provide peace of mind to the loved ones they leave behind, who can attend funeral services knowing those services are being conducted in adherence to their loved one’s wishes. Even men and women who discuss their wishes for their funerals with loved ones may not have those wishes honored if they are not put in writing.

Start A Career With International Character Pfisterer North America, Inc. • LeRoy, New York JOB TITLE: Rodurflex Team Assembler HOW TO NEGOTIATE (AND GET) A SALARY INCREASE Time it right. Many workers wait until they’ve become unsatisfied with their jobs to try to negotiate a raise, likely thinking that the higher salary will justify the stress or unhappiness they associate with their work. But workers may find it easier to discuss salary when they are happy and satisfied at work. Employers may sense your enthusiasm, and you’ll be more likely to focus on the positive rather than the negative aspects fueling your request.

RATE: $15.75 WORK WEEK: Monday-Friday 7:00am-3:30pm JOB SUMMARY: The assembler will be responsible for following the assembly schedule to ensure on-time delivery and to maximize efficiency and quality. This position will then be responsible for the assembly process which includes: following all assembly instructions, measurement and coordination of pieces, cutting rods to required length, cleaning and preparing materials for assembly, assisting in all assembly operations, applying and curing epoxy sealer, and packaging. The operator will also be responsible for maintaining all safety, quality and housekeeping standards in the work area. This is in addition to all other associated duties within the team.
