DID YOU KNOW? A study from the Gap Year Association found that 77 percent of students who take a gap year do so between high school and college. Parents may not know how to react when their soon-to-be or newly minted high school graduates bring up the idea of taking a gap year, but additional findings from the GYA’s “National Alumni Survey” might inspire parents to look at gap years more positively. For example, the survey, the findings of which were based on the responses of hundreds of American and Canadian citizens who had taken gap years in the past, found that 98 percent of respondents indicated their gap years helped them develop as a person, while 96 percent felt their gap years improved their self-confidence. In addition, 84 percent of respondents felt that they acquired skills to be successful in their careers during their gap years. Perhaps of most interest to parents of high school students contemplating gap years is that 73 percent of survey respondents felt their gap years increased their readiness for college and 57 percent said their gap years helped them determine what they wanted to study in college.

THE TYPE OF LODGING ACCOMMODATION

Hotel: Hotels cater to people who will be staying a few nights. They often feature spacious lobbies and some amenities, such as swimming pools or exercise rooms. Some hotels have restaurants attached to them. Hotels are among the most popular accommodations. According to the travel resource Dauntless Jaunter, hotels are categorized according to a “star” rating system.

· 1-star: This is a bare essentials hotel that offers just the basics with no extra bells and whistles.

· 2-star: A two-star hotel is usually reasonably priced and has minimal services and amenities and a neutral decor.

· 3-star: This hotel is meant to offer an above-average stay as far as options and amenities. Modern conveniences can be expected at three-star properties.

· 4-and 5-star: These hotels offer deluxe service and guests can expect luxury amenities and a wide range of offerings at these properties. However, they also can expect to pay more for accommodations.

DID YOU KNOW? Women spend considerably more time each day than men engaging in various household activities. According to the 2019 “American Time Use Survey” from the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, women spend an average of 2.16 hours each day on household activities, while men spend an average of 1.39 hours on such pursuits. The survey identifies household activities as housework such as interior cleaning and laundry, but also other activities such as managing the household’s finances and preparing food. Women also spend roughly twice as much time as men caring for and helping household members. Such figures may reflect gender roles that date back several decades if not longer, even though family situations have long since changed as more and more women have entered and remained in the workforce. For instance, the BLS survey found that, in 2019, men spent an average of 7.96 hours per day working, while women spent 7.15 hours per day working. Such figures support the notion that many households can share household activities more equitably between spouses.

FACTS: ABOUT THE SOLAR ECLIPSE

Rare Occurrence: Total solar eclipses are relatively rare events. On average, they occur somewhere on Earth roughly every 18 months, but each specific location may only experience a total solar eclipse once every few decades.

Viewing Safety: It’s essential to use proper eye protection when viewing a solar eclipse to prevent damage to your eyes. Specialized solar viewing glasses or eclipse glasses are necessary to safely observe the sun during the event.

Animal Behavior: During a solar eclipse, animals may exhibit unusual behaviors. Birds may return to their nests, thinking it’s nighttime, and nocturnal animals may become active.

Scientific Research: Solar eclipses provide scientists with valuable opportunities to study the sun’s outer atmosphere, known as the corona, which is typically obscured by the sun’s brightness. Researchers can observe and analyze the corona’s structure and dynamics during the brief period of totality.

Eclipse Chasers: Some enthusiasts, known as “eclipse chasers,” travel the world to witness solar eclipses in different locations. ey plan their travels meticulously to ensure they’re in the path of totality for the most spectacular views.

Holy Thursday, which falls on the Thursday before Easter Sunday, commemorates The Last Supper of Jesus Christ. During The Last Supper, Jesus,whoChristiansbelieveistheSonofGod,establishedthesacrament of Holy Communion. The Last Supper was the final meal Jesus enjoyed with his disciples in Jerusalem, and it was during The Last Supper when Jesus predicted one of those disciples would ultimately betray him. Holy Thursday is sometimes referred to as “Maundy Thursday,” a reference to the religious rite of maundy, which is the washing of the feet. The Last Supper and the rite of maundy are connected because it was during The Last Supper that Jesus washed the feet of his disciples. Though The Last Supper, during which Jesus gave his disciples bread, telling them it was his body, and wine, telling them it was his blood, is celebrated at every Mass as part of the Liturgy of the Eucharist, Holy Thursday Mass places even greater emphasis on this significant event.

PALM SUNDAY

On what is now called “Palm Sunday,” Jesus Christ rode a donkey into Jerusalem while villagers welcomed him and waved palm branches. This is mentioned in each of the Biblical Gospels and occurs a week before His subsequent resurrection. Jesus possibly rode a donkey rather than a horse as a sign of peace, as a war-waging king might ride a horse. The “Passion of the Christ” is typically read during Palm Sunday masses.

THE MEANING BEHIND EASTER SYMBOLS

Clothing: New clothing is another symbol of Easter that traces its origins back further than many Christians may realize. It’s customary for present-day Christians to don their Sunday best when attending Easter Sunday Mass, and the tradition of looking sharp on Easter can be traced to the early Christians, who would wear new white robes for baptisms during Easter services. Eventually, all Easter celebrants began to wear new clothes during Easter services.

• Have stubborn stains in the toilet? Put some teeth in your cleaning job by dropping in a denture-cleaning tablet and letting it sit overnight. In the morning, scrub and flush. It just might do the job.

• “Lighten blemish spots on your skin with lemon juice. Just dab on several times per day.” -- O.M. in Georgia

Byron-Bergen Basketball Coach Roxanne Noeth Made Section V History

BY GRETCHEN SPITTLER

On Saturday, March 2, 2024, Roxanne Noeth made Section V Athletics history by becoming the first woman to coach a boys varsity basketball team to a sectional championship in the 103-year history of the organization. e win marks the first sectional championship in Byron-Bergen boys basketball history. e only other Byron-Bergen basketball sectional championship was in 1984 when 9th grader Noeth was called up from JV to help the girls varsity team to victory.

As a member of that championship 1984 team, Noeth carved out a place for herself in Byron-Bergen athletics’ history, setting the single game scoring record in 1987, which was tied in 2022 by varsity boys’ basketball player, Corden Zimmerman, and broken by boys’ captain, Braedyn Chambry, this season. Noeth still holds the girls’ basketball single game scoring record and was inducted into the Byron-Bergen Athletics Hall of Fame in 2010.

A er graduation, Noeth attended St. John Fisher where she played Division III basketball and so ball. She is also a member of the St. John Fisher Athletics Hall of Fame. She coached collegiate women’s basketball at RIT before stepping away to raise her children. She returned to Byron-Bergen basketball in 2009 when she volunteered for her children’s basketball teams. In 2017, she was hired as head coach of the boys’ varsity team.

Noeth was hired by Athletic Director Rich Hannan and Superintendent Pat McGee, who was High School Principal at the time. Hannan says, “I couldn’t be prouder of Coach Noeth and the job she has done with this program. I have watched her build the team for many years now. She is extremely knowledgeable and puts her heart and soul into giving her athletes the best opportunity possible to achieve their greatest potential. She leaves no stone unturned and is always prepared. Her passion rubs off on her team and you can see it in her players.”

Outside the Byron-Bergen community, Noeth noticed some raised eyebrows. Despite the abundance of men coaching girls’ teams, Noeth was o en the only woman in the room for boys’ basketball. According to Noeth, the first three years as head coach were tough, but she soon made a name for herself and the team within the division. In 2023, she became the first woman named Section V Class C3 Coach of the Year for Boys Basketball, a title she kept for the 2024 season in C2.

McGee says, “Coach Noeth is an excellent role model for her players and all our future coaches. e Sectionals win was huge for

our community, but I also feel the enormous impact it has made on the future of Section V coaching.”

Byron-Bergen Assistant Principal Katie Grattan says, “Seeing Coach Noeth raise the Sectional trophy was a reminder of what is possible. e future coaches of Section V are watching.”

When asked about her legacy, Noeth states, “ e impact of my coaching a boys’ team, the impact it is having on young girls and women, it’s definitely a positive side effect, but it’s not why I coach. I love this team. I love this sport. I’m just a coach. I’m excited for my alma mater because a lot of great players have played there, and they’ve never achieved this level of success.”

ough Byron-Bergen lost their Class C crossover game, and the season is finished now, their historic win will surely carry their spirits for a while.

With time to reflect on the public’s reception of her achievement, Noeth admits it is important for people to see women in maledominated positions, and she understands why people now see her as such an important figure.

However, Noeth says, “A coach is only as good as their players. I was a player myself. I know. With the current seniors graduating, I have to prove myself again, we have to prove ourselves again.” She explains her unique perspective as a female coaching boys: “ ere are things I pick up on in their day-to-day routines, their mental state [...] that may get overlooked by male coaches.” Perhaps that’s what makes her such a good coach.

Since that historic win, Noeth says she o en fields questions about the future. Specifically asked if she’s going to retire now that she achieved the ultimate coaching milestone, she says, “I don’t feel like I’m done. I still have something to offer.” She explains that each year is a fresh challenge, a new lineup of players to bring together as a team.

She loves the challenge each season brings, and she looks forward to next season, working to create a cohesive, thriving team again. When she hears current and upcoming players are excited that she will return, that gives her added motivation to return for them.

Is It Necessary To Stop Viagra After a Stroke?

DEAR DR. ROACH: My husband had a small stroke last spring, causing a minor loss of vision in his left eye. He is 81 and an otherwise active man. He has even been told by several doctors that he can drive. One doctor told him to stop using meclizine and Viagra. Another physician said that he didn’t see a problem with taking the meds. Both physicians are very skilled. Whose advice should he follow? -- M.M.

ANSWER: A stroke is caused by the death of brain cells, most commonly due to poor blood flow in the brain, and it’s critical to avoid any medication that will increase the risk of stroke. Meclizine is an antihistamine medicine most commonly used for motion sickness and sometimes used for vertigo. Although it has been reported to cause blurry vision, the risk of taking meclizine in a person with a history of a stroke is minimal.

The situation with Viagra is more complex. A rare side effect of Viagra is nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), affecting one in every 10,000 people over 50. A person with a history of NAION should not take Viagra.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT NERVE INJURIES

What causes peripheral nerve injuries? Johns Hopkins Medicine indicates that peripheral nerve injuries can occur after suffering a laceration (a cut or tear in the nerve tissue), severe bruising, stretching, electrical injury, or drug injection injury. Gunshot wounds also can cause peripheral nerve injuries.

WHEN A TOOTH MIGRATES

There isn’t good evidence that Viagra is dangerous for a person who had a stroke. One trial suggested that there was benefit in reducing the size of a stroke with Viagra. However, Viagra does lower blood pressure by a few points, so if your husband’s blood pressure is on the borderline, this might be an issue.

I can’t give you a definitive answer, but most authorities say that a man who is stable, has good blood pressure and is more than six months out from his stroke does need not stop Viagra.

Teeth continue to shift inside your mouth for your entire life. Minor changes in tooth alignment are normal, often caused by loss of density and elasticity in bones and connective tissue as we age. But some tooth migrations are caused by periodontal disease (advanced gum disease). Periodontal disease causes gums to pull away from teeth (recede) and bone loss, which loosen teeth. When caused by periodontal disease, the condition is called pathologic tooth migration (PTM). The front teeth are most affected and may shift, rotate, become displaced from the socket, or a combination of these. Injuries, teeth grinding, missing teeth, and even habits like thumb sucking or nail-biting cause normal tooth movement but can also cause moderate migration.

Want to improve your smile? You’ll be happy to know there are many techniques your dentist has to alter and otherwise enhance your appearance and give you good reason to smile. Let BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL help you choose the best method for your particular circumstances. If it’s time to stop hiding your smile, we invite you to experience the kind of up-to-date, knowledgeable dental care we provide here at 6 Batavia City Centre. We have office hours by appointment—call 585.343.4246.

P.S. Orthodontic treatments, dental procedures like bridges and implants, and addressing issues like teeth grinding can all help restore migratory teeth to their rightful positions.

I think the true gardener is a lover of his flowers, not a critic of them. I think the true gardener is the reverent servant of Nature, not her truculent, wife-beating master. I think the true gardener, the older he grows, should more and more develop a humble, grateful and uncertain spirit. ~Reginald Farrer, In a Yorkshire Garden, 1909

AVOID ACHES AND PAINS WHEN GARDENING

Maintain good posture. Back injuries have a tendency to linger, which can keep gardeners indoors and out of their gardens. When gardening, maintain good posture to prevent back injuries. Gardening back braces can protect the back by providing support and making it easier for gardeners to maintain their posture. Tool pouches attached to gardening stools or chairs also can be less taxing on the back than gardening belts tied around the waist.

MAKE EASTER EGGS LAST

Families gather on Easter to participate in many different traditions that have been passed down through time. One such tradition is coloring Easter eggs. Millions of eggs are harvested and sold this time of year to be included in Easter festivities. However, soon after egg hunts have been completed and family dinners are brought to the table, those colored eggs may be relegated to the trash. When colored with foodgrade dyes, such as those manufactured and readily available around Easter, the eggs remain safe to eat. Colored eggs that are stored in a refrigerator can last up to a week if their shells remain intact. Peeled eggs may last up to five days, says the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service. Once eggs are boiled and dyed, they should be promptly put into the refrigerator to keep them fresh and edible. It’s adviseable to use plastic, wood or papier-mâché eggs for Easter egg hunts, as eggs made of such materials will not spoil. Otherwise, hide and refrigerate hardboiled eggs if this task can be completed within two hours. After that time frame, the eggs have the potential to spoil. By eating colored eggs, you can reduce waste and add a tasty appetizer to Easter meals.

VENT BRIGHTER

Save the Wall

Please walk facing the oncoming traffic!

Every time we passed by the old stone wall in Geneseo, my grandma would lament over the fallen stones and disrepair of the historical and prominent feature that hugs the edge of downtown. What the Save the Wall group is doing by rebuilding the crumbled stone wall is a true service to the community and to history itself. Please know that we notice and appreciate the hard work it takes to fix it. The wall looks amazing and grandma would be so delighted and proud of everyone who worked so hard to fix it. Thank You!

I’m Welcoming Spring!

After years of walking to and from work I’m retired now, but I continue to walk daily to stay in shape. Most of the streets and roads in my neighborhood do not have sidewalks so I have to walk along the edge of the roadway or shoulder (if available). From a child I was always taught to walk facing the oncoming traffic which in America usually means to walk to the left side. Before sharing this “vent” I even checked several websites to see if that is still the rule and yes, it is. So it annoys me when I have to change sides to avoid an oncoming walkeroften with a dog or dogs - that is walking WITH the oncoming traffic instead of facing it. Don’t they know that is dangerous when they can’t see the oncoming traffic or don’t they care they endanger my welfare by forcing me to temporarily cross the road to avoid them?

The beginning of spring in Western New York is like a welcome relief after the long winter months. There’s a shift in the air as the days get longer and the weather starts to warm up (hopefully consistently soon) and as everything starts to come back to life like the buds on trees and flowers starting to bloom. I’m ready to get outside and enjoy the fresh air, whether it’s taking a walk in the park or simply sitting outside and soaking up the sunshine.

Public Decency

Pop Ups and Markets

I appreciate the effort and dedication that goes into markets, which are noticeably gaining more and more popularity even in our “small” towns. I love supporting real artisans and discovering one-of-a-kind items while spending time out in my community. There’s something special about seeing the hardworking owners/creators/sellers, hearing their stories, and knowing that each purchase directly supports their passion and livelihood.

I recently attended a high school sporting event with my grandchild and had to ask the man behind me to please “not use that language” as he was spewing out vulgarity. My husband and I were at a restaurant a week later and asked to move our seating because the person in the booth behind us was using the same vulgar word every other sentence. The signs on people’s vehicles and in people’s yards displaying vulgarity has increased. What has happened to our society? We are not going to change a person’s behavior but if you are tired of this then please contact your local and state representatives. There is a big difference between “free speech” and public obscenity. How a person talks in a private setting or their homes is their business but why should any of us have to hear/see that by going to public places or driving down the street in our cars? If enough people take the time to complain to our leaders it just might make a difference, especially since this has gotten so out of hand.

EXPLORE HOSPICE OPTIONS FOR END-OF-LIFE CARE

Hospice is not only directed toward the person experiencing a life-limiting illness or injury, but is also designed to offer support and resources to family members to help them better cope with the end of a loved one’s life.

“The obscure we see eventually. The completely obvious, it seems, takes longer.....” ~ Edward R. Murrow

In our interpersonal relationships, how often we suddenly wake up to a situation that should have been obvious from the beginning. In some cases, we may not want to face up to an unpleasant fact so we ignore it and pretend to search for other solutions.

For some reason, the more obvious a thing or an idea may be, the easier it avoids detection. The lesson here is that, when we must find an answer, we should check out the obvious first, rather than come to it as a last resort.

Over the years, we have served a great number of families in this community. Most of them came to us on the recommendation of other families who appreciated our thoughtful consideration.

If you are a former employee of Eastman Kodak in Rochester, NY between 1979 and 1998 please contact Mr. Boccuzzi’s attorney, Christopher Hersom, at: Belluck & Fox, LLP • 877-534-2503 (Toll Free Number)

Email: tcarini@belluckfox.com

Any information would be greatly appreciated. ank you.

Failure to budget: A budget is the most effective way for individuals to gain control of their spending. That lesson seems to resonate more with young people than older men and women. A 2019 poll from Debt.com found that 74 percent of consumers between the ages of 23 and 38 use a budget to govern their spending, while only 67 percent of consumers between the ages of 39 and 54 use a budget. A failure to budget can increase the risk of spending impulsively and make it hard for consumers to see what’s coming in and what’s going out. That’s a recipe for accumulating debt.

THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN PASSOVER AND EASTER

To the casual observer, Passover and Easter may not to seem to have much in common. While the two holidays are celebrated by people of different faiths, they share certain similarities. Both Passover and Easter celebrate fundamental tenets of their respective faiths. For Christians, Easter commemorates the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, a moment that has shaped the lives of faithful Christians ever since. During Passover, Jews honor a moment in history that helped free slaves from captivity and shape them into the people of Israel. In addition, historians believe that the Passion of Christ, which is the short final period of Jesus’ life, occurred during the observance ofPesach,orPassover.Duringthis time, Jesus went to Jerusalem in response to a mandate to appear at the Temple. It also is believed that the Last Supper described in all four Gospels was likely a Passover seder. Liberation and rebirth also are at the heart of both holidays.

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

The cause of Hoarsness when barking…

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My little dog Barnsey is quite a barker for a terrier, but for the past several days his bark has been very hoarse. He sometimes snorts or sneezes, too. I make sure he has plenty of water, but I’m not sure what else to do. It doesn’t seem to be getting better. -- Faye H., Hartford, Connecticut

DEAR FAYE: is is a perfect time to take Barnsey to the vet. Chronic hoarseness when barking can have several different causes, and the veterinarian can better evaluate him to see what’s happening.

I’ll go over some of the reasons for a barker suddenly getting hoarse. Laryngitis is a common diagnosis, but it’s important to figure out the cause. A bacterial or viral infection may be the culprit, or gastroesophageal reflux (where stomach acid flows up into the esophageal tract, causing irritation and inflammation).

Less common causes are masses or tumors growing on or near the dog’s larynx, or other conditions affecting the larynx. ese may require surgery, and the vet will discuss this option with you.

e vet will evaluate Barnsey to see if he has an infection, acid reflux, or if the hoarse barking has another cause. ey’ll then be able to recommend an effective treatment. For example, a bacterial infection would likely be treated with antibiotics. A viral infection has to run its course, but Barnsey would be treated with medications to make him comfortable and reduce inflammation.

If acid reflux is the suspected culprit, the vet may recommend changes to his feeding schedule and the amount of food at each meal. You can also try different varieties of dog food.
