CELEBRATE SAFELY THIS NEW YEAR’S EVE Host responsibly. Even people who don’t intend to leave their homes can take steps to make New Year’s Eve safer for everyone. If you’re hosting a party at home, do so responsibly, making sure none of your guests overindulge and making the party less about drinking and more about having fun. Shift the focus from toasting drinks to games and activities that don’t include alcohol. Make sure to have plenty of food and nonalcoholic beverages on hand and encourage people who are drinking to eat full meals and drink water throughout the night. People who fill up on food and water during the party may feel full, which may discourage them from having extra drinks. While many people will expect to drink alcohol on New Year’s Eve, don’t stock up on too much alcohol, the availability of which may encourage guests to overindulge. Hosts also should keep the phone numbers of local taxi services handy just in case some guests cannot drive themselves home safely.

RESOLVE TO WEAR CLOTHES THAT FIT IN THE YEAR AHEAD Bra measurements are hard to come by, no doubt thanks in part to the nature of getting measured in such an intimate area of the body.

But considering undergarments set the foundation for all clothing worn on top, this is one of the more important measurements to verify.

Enlist the help of a friend or family member to make measurements go more smoothly.

DEAR JAKE: Pets can be a lot of fun to introduce in casual business meetings, but they can’t always be present, especially if your boss has forbidden it. Here are some things you can try: -- Create a “go to work” routine. We tend to follow the same format every morning (wake up, drink coffee, get dressed, sit at our computer), so add two things to the routine: attention time with Rusty, and leaving for work. Give Rusty 10-15 minutes of undivided attention somewhere between coffee and getting dressed. Once you’re dressed, say “I’m going to work!” loudly, and ignore Rusty for several minutes.

-- Make Rusty more comfortable when separated from you. Put his favorite cat bed, toys and drinking water into the bathroom when he’s sequestered.

-- Teach “go away” signals. Make a hissing noise or snap your fingers when Rusty tries to jump up.

-- Set up physical barriers around the desk, like sticky-side-up duct tape.

-- Wear headphones during calls if Rusty continues to meow.

-- Incorporate “attention breaks” during the day where Rusty gets your undivided attention, away from the desk.

The more structure you can build into a remote workday, the better. If Rusty can count on a comfortable, sequestered space during meetings, plus regular attention breaks from you, he may settle down -- and save your job.

pandemic, my cat “Rusty” would jump into my lap or roam across my keyboard during Zoom meetings with the rest of my team. Everyone thought it was funny. Last month I was hired to work remotely for a new company. My supervisor told me the cat cannot appear on screen. If I put Rusty into the bathroom during video calls (I have a studio apartment), he yowls loudly until I let him out. What can I do? I need to keep this job. -- Jake V., Alexandria, Virginia

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 31, 2021

SENIOR NEWS By Matilda Charles Lending a Helping Hand I’ve been looking at 2022, hoping to find some value in my time and money in this chaotic world we find ourselves in, a chaos that doesn’t show any sign of ending soon. Two new activities have found their way to my to-do list.

For several months I’ve been buying a food donation card each time I shop at a certain grocery store. It’s not much, but I believe I can continue to do this. My goal is to make it through the year without missing one time. These cards are given to the local food bank, which can then use that money to buy food at a discounted rate. This has more financial benefit than if I purchased food at the regular store rate and delivered it to them. I know the food banks around here have been scrambling to keep supplies available, especially since they’re serving more families than ever before. Maybe my humble donation will help just a little bit.

The other item on my new to-do list is probably the more valuable.

I’ll be collecting groceries weekly for three very elderly people in the neighborhood. I learned that two of them had been ordering groceries for curbside pickup -- and taking taxis to go get them because they don’t drive. The third ordered her groceries for curbside, but has had them delivered.

So, instead of the extra expense of taxi or delivery, I’ll pick up their orders myself. I did a test run with one to be certain there was no problem with me using someone else’s credit card to pay for the curbside pickup. The bonus is that these three neighbors, who had never met, now know each other and talk frequently. I understand that there has already been a bit of coupon swapping and recipe sharing.

Maybe 2022 will be a good year after all. (c) 2021 King Features Synd., Inc.

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

The Crossword Puzzle is provided by Tribune Media Services.

DEAR DR. ROACH: How much mercury is safe? --

585.286.3664

A.C.

ANSWER: The chemical element mercury exists in three forms: elemental mercury, which is the kind in thermometers; inorganic mercury, especially mercuric chloride; and organic mercury, including methyl and ethyl mercury. All of these have toxicities, but the types of toxicities are different for each, and the safe level depends on which type it is.

Elemental mercury is dangerous primarily when it is inhaled, which occurs mainly in occupational settings.

Accidental swallowing of the small amount of mercury in a thermometer has very low toxicity, but I still don’t recommend it. Inorganic mercury is seldom a problem, as it is almost never used these days in the U.S. and Canada. Most products containing this form of mercury have been banned.

Methyl mercury is the major concern for consumers, as this is found in fish. It accumulates in the environment, and tends to be worst in larger fish, which eat the smaller fish and over their lifetime accumulate the methyl mercury, which was formerly used as a fungicide. The Environmental Protection Agency warns an average-size person not to exceed 70 mcg per day of methyl mercury: Below this dose, toxicity is unlikely.

This translates to two to three servings of fish per week, but no more than one serving of highest-risk fish for methyl mercury per week. High-risk sources include most tuna, halibut and snapper.

Ethyl mercury is significantly less toxic than methyl mercury, as it is removed from the body more quickly.

There is no EPA recommendation for ethyl mercury levels. Ethyl mercury has been used as a preservative in vaccines, but it has been removed from all childhood and most adult vaccines. It is still used in some flu vaccines -- the ones in multidose vials: Singleuse vials do not need a preservative. The amount of ethyl mercury in a flu shot is less than the more dangerous methyl mercury found in a can of tuna. ***

Wild salmon may have greater nutritional value than farmed salmon thanks to the more diversified diet consumed by wild salmon.

We Care About

Your Smiles

by Dr. Steve Sokolovskiy

DENTISTS STRIVE TO REDUCE PATIENT ANXIETY Much of our population experiences dental anxiety, with over 20% of people reporting they avoid going to the dentist because of fear. In response to patient avoidance, the dental industry is making progress in mitigating the stressful factors of pain and uncertain outcomes.

To relieve the fear of the experience completely, sedation dentistry is available. This involves using medication to induce a relaxed sleep-like state for procedures ranging from routine cleanings and fillings to complex treatments. In cosmetic dentistry, a source of stress may stem from uncertainty about results that are going to be life-long. Providing patients with tangible visuals, technology such as virtual results, mockups using 3D-printed trials, or a combination of these, relieves patient expectations and anxieties.

No matter what your oral concerns may be, we want you to be comfortable coming to our office. We try to make all our patients’ visits as relaxing as possible. If you are hesitant about visiting the dentist and haven’t done so in a while, we invite you to call us at BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL and find out how satisfying, rewarding, and even life-changing a visit to the dentist can be. For full-service, patient-friendly dental care in a comfortable atmosphere, make an appointment today at 6 Batavia City Centre. You can reach us at 585.343.4246.

P. S. Types of sedation used in dentistry include inhaled, oral, IV, and general anesthesia.

Modern cars are technological marvels, and it turns out drivers may value tech over all else, including their choice of automaker. A 2017 study from Autotrader asked 1,000 participants an assortment of questions about technology and car buying. Roughly 60 percent of millennial car shoppers and more than 40 percent of baby boomers indicated they would switch vehicle brands just to get the technology features they want. Drivers are even willing to pay extra for their preferred tech. The Autotrader study found that the average shopper would pay an extra $2,276 to get the right tech features.

By JoAnn Derson * To save a pot of burning soup, remove from the burner and DO NOT stir. Pour the unburned contents into a new pot, while trying not to disturb the burnedon bottom of the pot. * Experts say that those who keep track of their nutrition and exercise are more likely to keep it up. This can be as simple as a pencil and notebook paired with a calorie guidebook, or one of the many great apps for your smartphone.

In any case, set yourself up for success this year. You deserve it! * After-Christmas sales are a great time to buy not only gift wrap (look for solid colors that you can use all year long), holiday cards and decorations, but also next season’s winter wear. Things like scarves and gloves can be great bargains. And even coats can go on sale. Take advantage -- especially if you have kids -- and buy up. -- A.K. in Tennessee * Want to include more produce in your diet? Sources say prep is the step that makes it work. Clean, chop, slice and otherwise prepare all your produce choices for the week on the day you shop. When it’s ready and waiting, you’re less likely to skip it in favor of something more convenient (and likely less nutritious).

HOMETOWN PHOTOS Secret Santa While enjoying breakfast around 9am on December 24th at Wanda's in Livonia, our waitress informed us someone paid the bills for all the diners. Thank you! What a kind gesture! Will pass this good deed on!

S E V RA

I love LeRoy I came from [local town] and moved to Leroy in 1994, and the rest is history!

Stolen American Flag I’m 85, a Navy Veteran and a worker in public service my entire life. I am a proud American and have always had an American flag flying from the front of my house.

A few days ago, the flag was, for the first time in my life, stolen. Presumably whoever took it thinks of themselves as an upstanding patriot. It’s not the monetary value that counts, but the idea that stealing a flag that stands for the principles of honesty and honor is okay. It’s all very sad.

Response to Foreign Aid I’m curious as to why you selected Israel to complain about when the U.S. sends 13.4 million dollars per day to Afghanistan, and this year announced that we would be sending Afghanistan an additional 64 million.

Foreign Aid missing facts The aid sent to Israel is less than Afghanistan receives, yet a recent rant singled out Israel. 74% of aid to Israel is spent with USA companies. Therefore, the money is being given back to towns in the USA, which was the writer’s complaint. We also benefit every day from Israel’s technological innovations. Attacking Israel without sharing other relevant details is [wrong]. Rants should stick to local issues, like garbage cans and road maintenance.

Turn signals The number of people using their turn signals while dropping off their little ones at the local elementary school is appalling. Zero. Zero parents signaled to other drivers their intent on where to drive while carrying their precious children in the car. If a parent were to pull out and cause an accident, that parent is going to come out of that car screaming at the other car because their 7 year old is in it and how dare they hit them, despite the parent being the one to pull out in front of the oncoming car without a warning of any kind. Turn signals exist for a reason. Please use them.

Left lane drivers Who’s never heard the saying, “Slower traffic stay to the right?” Obviously some drivers haven’t. I passed a pickup on the right because he was slower. Passed through a couple intersections and moved over into the left lane when my turn came up. I moved into the turn lane and turned. As he passed, he blew his horn. No, I didn’t cut him off. There was plenty of distance between us. He shouldn’t have been there in the first place let alone getting upset when I did have to slow to turn. A little hint for the pickup: If you’re going to be an idiot, don’t be one while driving your truck with your business name all over it.

Christmas trees Another year, another price increase on Christmas trees. $54 for a tree? No thanks. I visited a tree farm on [local road] this year, and one of the owners admitted to me when one tree farm raises their prices they all do. Let me translate that for you. They don’t want competition, because competition drives prices down not up. The tree farms have been raising their prices at a year after year rate of $3.20. At that rate, given the current prices, you can expect to pay about $100 for your tree in 15 years.

How much is too much for you? Getting your Christmas tree should be an enjoyable experience that doesn’t have to break the bank.

Happy New Year!

Moving Forward in 2022

BY AMANDA DUDEK

A

fter nearly two pandemic years, it can be challenging to look forward to 2022 with a sense of hope and optimism.

Pandemic protocols are constantly in flux. New and often seemingly conflicting information continues to stream across all forms of media. This continuing pandemic landscape can feel as unstable as shifting sands or ocean waves during a storm.

Family: We may not always agree with or get along with all our family members. However, the bonds of family are some of the strongest and most enduring ones we experience. With family, we find the shared experiences that help shape our identity as well as ongoing comfort and support.

Future: No matter the challenges of the present, there is always something new up ahead, always a bend in the road around which we cannot see. Another adage encourages us, “Nothing endures but change.” Reaching this future can be as simple as putting one foot in front of the other; that is, it is continuing on each day. Eventually, one day at a time, we will walk out of this together.

Like a storm, no pandemic lasts forever. Everything has its time.

All the struggles of the present are temporary. No one knows when the pandemic roar will quiet into a seasonal growl, it is not eternal.

Studies will continue. Understanding will increase, and vaccines and treatments will only continue to improve. Time, as the adage promises, will heal all “wounds.”

As we enter 2022, always remember that everything is temporary. Find your stars, your constants, and step boldly into the new year. All it takes is one step at a time.

But how does one navigate in the meanwhile?

Since time immemorial, sailors have been navigating by the stars.

With no land in sight on a changeable and trackless expanse, the stars remained a constant by which to find one’s way home again.

In some ways, these pandemic years are like an ocean, and we have been swept out to sea. If we wish to find our way “home,” we must navigate by our “stars.” Although these stars are not always the same, some are true for many.

Faith: What we believe is central to who we are. These beliefs help us to make sense of the world around us as well as our experiences in it. They can help put even challenging experiences like a pandemic into perspective while offering hope, comfort, and guidance.

WAYS TO SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES

MAKE THE YEAR AHEAD CLUTTER-FREE Adopt an “out with the old, in with the new” mantra. Resolve to discard old items after purchasing new ones or receiving birthday or holiday gifts.

Hanging on to old items because they can still function and serve some utility is a recipe for a cluttered home. Anytime you or a family member brings a new item into your home, make sure the item it’s replacing finds its way out the door.

Shop at small businesses regularly.

STRANGE BUT TRUE By Lucie Winborne * During the entire run of Gilligan’s Island, it was never revealed if “Gilligan” was his first or last name.

A note of thanks and a wish for joy as we unwrap another Christmas Season.

Meeting all of you and forging new friendships has made this a wonderful year.

Thank you for welcoming me.

Here’s to a successful 2022!

THE RIGHT WAY TO LEAVE A JOB Don’t shirk responsibilities. It can be tempting to slack off when another job awaits.

The popular job-hunting site Monster.com says it can be human nature to do less when long-term accountability is removed. However, you never know when you might need a referral or even a new job. Leaving a bitter taste in the mouth of your employer at the end of your work history can put a black mark on your employee record.

DID YOU KNOW? Brief breaks during the work day can dramatically improve one’s ability to focus on a task. A 2011 study published in the journal Cognition found that brief mental breaks can improve focus on a prolonged task. The study’s authors tested participants’ ability to focus on a repetitive computerized task for 50 minutes under various conditions. The control group performed the task without breaks or diversions. The switch group and non-switch group memorized four digits before performing the task and were directed to respond if they saw one of the digits on the screen while performing the task. The switch group was the only group to be presented with the digits twice during the experiment, and both groups were tested on their memory of the digits at the end of the task. Most participants’ performance declined considerably over the course of the 50-minute task. However, the performance of those in the switch group did not decline at all, as the two brief breaks to respond to the digits allowed them to maintain their focus throughout the experiment. The researchers behind the study concluded that the switch group’s performance was steady because the brain is built to detect and respond to change, and its performance will actually suffer if it must maintain prolonged attention on a single task without taking a break. Professionals with a lot on their plates may see their performance improve by taking frequent mental breaks throughout the workday.
