Parents who want to encourage their children to volunteer may find their effortsatdoingsoaremoreconvincing if they volunteer themselves. A 2013 study published in the Journal of Adolescence examined the effects that parents who volunteer and talk about volunteering have on children. Researchers found that the children of volunteers were 27 percent more likely to volunteer than children whose parents did not volunteer. In addition,adolescents were 47 percent more likely to volunteer when their parents volunteered and talked about volunteering with their children.

Winter Activity: Painting
It looks like we’re in for a long winter, with extremely cold temperatures in several places. Many of us are already realizing that we just don’t want to go out in that. But what shall we do to occupy ourselves while we’re at home?
I don’t know how it started, but in my neighborhood this winter the favorite activity has become ... painting. Each day new photos of “works of art” are sent around via cellphones as the idea spreads. I decided to join in. Between the internet and home deliveries, we have access to everything we need without going out!
My first step was to do a YouTube search for painting lessons. Right at the top was “Beginner’s Guide to Painting,” and I was off and running. On YouTube it’s possible to narrow down the search results to the subjects you’re most interested in learning to paint, whether it’s sunsets, flowers, mountains, snow scenes, cats, dogs, lakes, vintage cars, beaches -- if it can be painted, there’s a tutorial for it. The topics can be further broken down by watercolor and acrylic painting. There are even videos that outline what supplies you need.
Some suggestions, if you’d like to paint:
Unless you have a store near you that will ship or deliver supplies to you, look online for the big names such as Michaels, Joann and Hobby Lobby as places to start.
You need paint and water, and something to paint on, such as paper or canvas panels, plus a selection of brushes. Add in a small plastic palette for mixing colors.
Look for beginner kits that have a selection of a dozen or so small tubes of acrylic paint colors or a dozen watercolors in a metal tray.
If you fear you have no real talent for painting, I invite you to explore Acrylic Squeegee Painting on YouTube. That technique can make anyone an artist!

Dietary fiber: The Mayo Clinic notes that dietary fiber refers to the parts of plant foods that the human body cannot digest or absorb. Fiber is typically classified as soluble, which refers to types of fiber that dissolve in water, and insoluble, which is used to describe types of fiber that promote movement of material through the digestive system. Soluble fiber can help lower blood cholesterol and glucose levels, while insoluble can help people who suffer from constipation or irregular stools.

HOME FIRE RISKS INCREASE AS WEATHER COOLS
(NAPSI)—The fall and winter seasons bring cooler temperatures,holidays,and images of cozy nights by the fireplace. Yet the change in seasons also comes withthechanceof severeweatherandan increaseinfirerisks.AccordingtotheU.S. Fire Administration, more home fires occur in winter than in any other season.
“Holiday decorations, space heaters, generators, and fireplaces all present fire hazards if not properly used and maintained,” said Steve Hirsch, chair of the National Volunteer Fire Council. “Residents should be aware of the dangers and take the steps to make sure their families and homes are protected.”
Follow these tips to minimize home fire and safety risks:
• Install smoke alarms in every sleeping room, outside each separate sleeping area, and on every level of the home. Test monthly to ensure they work.
• Install carbon monoxide alarms and test them at least once a month.
• Know where the gas, electric, and water main shut-off controls are and how to use them.
• Place fire extinguishers in the kitchen, garage, and living room, and make sure all household members know how to use them.
• Develop a home fire escape plan and practice it with the entire family.
• Keep portable generators outside and away from the home.
• Install a screen in front of each fireplace or wood stove. Store cooled ashes in a metal container outside the home.
• Have chimneys professionally inspected and cleaned every year.
• Keep anything that can burn at least three feet away from fireplaces, radiators, space heaters, or other heat source.
• Never leave lit candles unattended, and keep them out of the reach of children and pets.
• If using a live Christmas tree, keep it adequatelywateredandgetridof itafter Christmas or when it gets dry.
Residents can also take an active role in protecting their communities from hazards such as fires, medical emergencies, and much more. Fire departmentsacrossthecountryarelooking for volunteers to serve as firefighters, EMS providers,and auxiliary members.
“The majority of firefighters in the U.S. are volunteers—neighbors helping neighbors in an incredible and rewarding way,” said Hirsch. “We need more people to answer the call to serve.”
Training is provided by the department, and volunteers can serve in a variety of roles, from providing life-saving emergency response services to conducting fire prevention programs and disaster preparedness planning.

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.

Understanding the Mechanisms Behind a Nuclear Stress Test
Discover the Human Touch in Hearing Technology
DEAR DR. ROACH: I had a comment about your recent column on nuclear stress tests. As an 87-year-old person who has experienced atrial fibrillation and a mild stroke, I have had two nuclear stress tests done. In both cases, I told the supervising nurse I wanted to go to the max limits that they would allow. Even though I attempted to prepare by briskly walking up the hill close to my home and thought I was doing well on the treadmill, I failed to reach the final parameters that they were seeking.
To get me there, I was injected with something (the name escapes me) that is supposed to achieve the same result as the final stage of a nuclear stress test. As I recall the discussion, the nurse stated that many couldn’t get as far as I did. Medications were a way for them to obtain the needed results. -- J.M.
Q. A.
ANSWER: Stress testing may be done for several reasons, but the most common is to determine whether there are blockages in the arteries in the heart that are severe enough to limit blood flow. When ordering a stress test, the clinician has to decide how to stress the heart and get information from it.
In people who can exercise (meaning they don’t have an orthopedic or neurological condition that keeps them from being able to move), then using exercise is the best approach in almost all cases. Exercise is safer since you can stop doing it at any time, and it also provides useful information. People who can exercise for a longer time (9 minutes on a standard protocol called a Bruce) have a very good prognosis; whereas if you can’t make it to 3 minutes, this is a poor prognosis.
The treadmill gets steeper and faster every 3 minutes on a Bruce protocol so that eventually even an Olympic athlete has to give up. The goal is to get to maximum exercise where a person simply can’t go any further. The person who runs the stress test looks for any sign of incipient heart damage through an electrocardiogram (EKG), a blood pressure monitor, or symptoms so that the test can be stopped if it seems dangerous.
Despite trying really hard, some people cannot get their heart rate and blood pressure high enough where the stress test can diagnose heart disease. In this case, the exercise stress test is converted to a pharmacologic stress test. A medication, such as dobutamine, is given to make the heart beat faster and stronger until the adequate workload is achieved.
Many of my patients tell me that this is uncomfortable, and more than once, I have heard someone say, “My heart was going to jump out of my chest.” If there are signs of danger, the medication can be stopped, and in some cases, a reversal agent is given.
Once the heart is at an adequate level of exertion,abnormalities in the blood flow can be detected by the EKG. However, the test’s sensitivity can be improved by looking at blood flow through a radioactive chemical injected in the blood, which can measure blood flow to various regions of the heart more precisely. The sensitivity can also be improved by examining the heart’s wall movement through echocardiography. In other cases, a more limited stress test is done to determine the safety of exercise. This is often done after a heart attack to determine which exercises a person can do as part of their cardiac rehab.
Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu. (c) 2025 King Features Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved

SAFE WAYS TO DEAL WITH SINUS PRESSURE
Sinuses are bony, hollow, air-filled cavities inside the face and skull. They are located in the low-center of the forehead, behind the eyes and in bones behind the nose. Cedars-Sinai Medical Center says the sinuses lighten the skull and produce a mucus that moisturizes the inside of the nose. Unfortunately, when colds or the flu strike, sinuses may become one of the first spots affected by these illnesses.
When the sinuses are working properly, mucus will drain into the nasal passages or out the back of the throat. Most of this drainage goes unnoticed. However, the American Sinus Institute says that factors such as allergies, illness, weather changes, dehydration, and dry air can make the sinus mucus thicker and drainage more difficult. This is when problems like infection, stuffiness or throat irritation may occur.
In order to combat sinus congestion and drainage concerns, people may try certain strategies that include flushing the sinuses and thinning the mucus. It is imperative to use safe flushing methods to keep the sinuses healthy.
Neti pots are among the more popular methods to flushing sinuses. These small teapot-like devices with elongated snouts have become a fixture in many medicine cabinets. Because they are drug-free alternatives, they can be handy for those worried about antihistamines making them drowsy or reacting with other drugs. Neti pots and other nasal irrigation systems use saline to moisten and clear out nasal passages to promote drainage of sinus cavities. However, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, using these devices improperly can increase one’s risk of infection. CBS News says that neti pots have even been linked to the deadly Naegleria fowleri, which is otherwise known as the “braineating” amoeba.
The key to preventing infection is to only use previously boiled, sterile or distilled water to irrigate. Tap water is not adequately filtered, says the FDA, and may contain low levels of organisms that can stay alive in nasal passages and potentially cause serious infections.
Those who are concerned about nasal irrigation safety may be wise to skip neti pots and use pre-packaged, sterile saline solutions that are bottled for the purpose of alleviating congestion. However, when prepared water is used in a clean neti pot or other device, these methods can be perfectly safe.
Sinuses can get clogged for many reasons. To free up breathing, people are urged to consult their physicians to learn more about how to safely irrigate their nasal passages.

Cold weather can be deadly for outdoor cats
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I care for a rescued barn cat who refuses to come indoors -- she will come onto the porch for food and water, and let me pet her, but that’s about it. I was able to get “Gertie” spayed a few years back, so that’s no longer a problem. However, I worry about her in the cold weather. What do you recommend to keep outdoor cats from suffering in freezing temperatures?
-- Caroline in Roanoke, Virginia
DEAR CAROLINE: Shelter is important during the coldest months of the year, and even if an outdoor cat has survived OK in past winters, that can change -- especially as they get older.
Food, water and shelter are the three biggest things you can provide to help an outdoor cat survive and remain healthy during the winter. Place fresh water in a container that won’t freeze easily, such as a thick-walled dish.
The Humane Society of the United States recommends building (or purchasing) an outdoor cat shelter that is appropriatefortheirsize--nottoosnug,butnotsolargethat it can’t hold in the cat’s body heat (www.humanesociety. org/resources/how-care-outdoor-cats-winter).
You can line the inside of the shelter with Mylar sheets that reflect body heat even better. For bedding, an old pillowcase filled with packing peanuts or crumpled newspaper is helpful, or you can use straw. Place the shelter near where you’ve observed the cat resting, or try placing it on the porch next to her food and water. (Don’t put water inside the shelter in case it spills.)
Remove and replace bedding every couple of weeks to keep things fresh and help maintain warmth. Send your tips, comments or questions to ask@pawscorner.com. (c) 2025 King Features Synd., Inc.

DearAmazingPerson
Thank you, thank you, thank you to the wonderful person who found and turned in my anniversay ring at the Geneseo Walmart on February 1st. I was absolutely heartsick when I realized it was missing. You are a wonderful, amazing and honest person and have proven to me that there are still great people in this world!
You are an angel in my eyes!
On Friday, a couple of weeks ago, I came out of Tops in Dansville and my car wouldn’t start. Tried a couple of times and due to the radio and heat being on and because it was about 11 degrees out it just wouldn’t! A young lady knocked on my window and asked if I needed help. I said my car won’t start, and she said give me 10 minutes, I’ll go home and get my jumper cables. She drove away in a fairly new Ford pickup and sure enough she came back. By that time my car recouped enough power to start. I ran over to tell her it started and thanked her. I can’t tell you how much that meant to an older person that this young person would be so kind! I didn’t get her name but I certainly would know her if I saw her again! Thank you!

A-Salted
While I do appreciate having safe roads to drive on during snowy winter weather, I am dismayed at the amount of salt that coats the roads in our village and town. Not only is it terrible for the environment, it is a waste of taxpayer money, not just for the salt but with the price of fuel.
Plows are out on roads that are clear of snow at all hours of the day and night (can you say overtime?). I passed 6 plows on a 15 minute drive to a nearby town last night. Highway departments, please show some restraint and implement sensible salting and plowing policies!

UNDERSTAND HARDINESS ZONES BEFORE PLANTING
Gardening benefits the environment in myriad ways. Maintaining natural landscapes and preserving green spaces can reduce the collective carbon footprint of the human race. Trees, flowers and other greenery filter the air and create welcoming habitats for all species of animals and insects.
Many home gardeners set out each spring to create landscapes that cater to all of the senses. But choosing plants that are unlikely to thrive in certain climates can lead to dissatisfaction and premature plant demise and may require gardeners to use more fertilizers, pesticides and other not-so-Earth-friendly techniques to help plants thrive.
One of the more important steps gardeners can take before spring arrives is to educate themselves about plant hardiness zones. Hardiness zones are defined by the average climatic conditions of the region and are broken down into various zones. The USDA Hardiness Zone map divides North America into 13 separate zones. Each zone is marked by 10 F incremental differences from the last zone. In some versions of the map, each zone is further divided into “a” and “b” regions.
The National Gardening Association says the USDA Hardiness Zone Map was revised in 2012. The latest version was jointly developed by the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service and Oregon State University’s PRISM Climate Group. To help develop the new map, the USDA and Oregon State University requested that horticultural and climatic experts review the zones in their geographic areas. As a result, the zone boundaries in the 2012 edition of the map have shifted in many areas. Canada’s Hardiness Zone map, updated in 2010, uses nine different zones.
Zone maps are tools that show where permanent landscape plants can adapt. Home gardeners who are looking for shrubs or perennials to last year after year should recognize that such plants must tolerate year-round conditions, including the lowest and highest temperatures and the amount of precipitation. Snow cover and humidity also can impact a plant’s propensity to thrive.
While zone maps are not perfect, they can be useful in planning and ensuring the survival of future gardens. Plant and seed manufacturer Burpee says that other factors to consider that also affect the viability of plants include wind, moisture and soil conditions.

COLD WEATHER WILDLIFE IN HOMES BOOSTS DISEASE AND P
Many people may practice the “love thy neighbor” creed, but when it comes to four-legged wildlife such as raccoons, squirrels, and opossum that often seek refuge in yards and homes when outdoor temperatures dip and food sources become scarce, they are best kept at an arm’s length. As community development has thinned natural habitats and forced these critters into residential areas and lessened their fears of people, the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) has found that many areas of the country continue to report increased encounters with nuisance wildlife.
“While it can be a unique experience to spot wildlife in neighborhoods, these animals should be discouraged from taking up residence,” advises Missy Henriksen, vice president of public affairs for the NPMA. “Not only can they damage property, many are vectors of disease, most notably rabies.”
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 40,000 people are exposed to rabies each year, a viral infection passed through the bite and saliva of an infected mammal. Raccoons, foxes, skunks, coyotes and bats are the most commonly reported animals infected with rabies. Because of the risks associated with these pests, homeowners should take extra precautions to protect against them.
PITCH IN AND SAVE MONEY
Home improvement projects can be expensive. While the size and complexity of a project will affect how expensive the project is, homeowners can expect to shell out a pretty penny when they renovate or remodel areas of their home.
According to HomeAdvisor, an online resource for homeowners looking to connect with home improvement, maintenance and repair professionals, the average bathroom remodeling project costs $9,348, while the average home addition costs slightly less than $41,000. But renovation-minded homeowners need not reconsider their commitment to remodeling, as there are various ways to cut the costs associated with home improvement projects.
One such way is for homeowners to pitch in and do some of the work themselves. Calculating labor costs can be difficult, as such costs can vary greatly depending on the project, the contractor and the amount of hired help that contractor intends to employ. However, some estimates suggest labor will account for anywhere from 25 to 50 percent of the overall cost of the project. So it’s no surprise that homeowners can save themselves substantial amounts of money by doing some of the work themselves. Homeowners who intend to do some of the labor themselves should discuss this plan with contractors during the vetting process. Before hiring a contractor, make sure homeowners’ expected labor contributions are clearly defined in the contract. It’s best to leave the most
of a project to the professionals.
GENESEO GROVELAND EMERGENCY FOOD PANTRY
CrockpotsandRecipes BringCheerandComfort
BY DEB MACLEAN
is year, the Geneseo Groveland Emergency Food Pantry had an extra gi for clients participating in the Holiday Program.
e story begins with the image of chicken legs in a crockpot on a Facebook page. Knowing that we had chicken legs at the pantry, and that they can be hard to cook, the idea started to take shape. What if we were to gi our clients a crockpot? Was it even economically feasible? everynextweek,wereceivedanemailaboutagrant opportunity with Excellus BlueCross BlueShield. While the Health Equity Innovation Award funding was intended to support efforts to decrease health disparities in those living in rural or urban areas who may be at higher risk for poor health outcomes, we figured it was worth a shot and applied for the grant, upselling the nutritional benefits of using a crockpot.
Much to our delight, we were awarded the grant to purchase the crockpots. At the same time, Amazon washavingaPrimeDayssale,andwouldn’tyouknow, crockpots were on sale. We ordered 70, the number we always use for holiday planning, to be delivered to various volunteers’ homes for transport to the pantry.
Once the 70 crockpots were in-house, we got busy preparing for distribution. Because what good is a crockpot without a recipe? Since we provide a nice ham for Christmas dinner, we decided to include a recipe for heating the ham in the crockpot with brown sugar as well as another recipe for ham & bean soup, along with all the ingredients.
en on to the gi wrapping. We are fortunate enough to have the students from the LIVES Program volunteer at the pantry to help us on a regular basis. e LIVES Program (Learning Independence, Vocational, and Educational Skills) is a four-year transition program located on the campus of the State University of New York College at Geneseo. e students have been volunteering at the pantryforquiteafewyearsnow,makingkidbags,checking dates, and occasionally doing some shopping. Between the students and the regular pantry volunteers, all of the crockpots were wrapped and ready to go.
With the help of the Central Presbyterian Youth Group and the Geneseo Rotary, the crockpots were all delivered or picked up at the pantry on December 21st as part of the 2024 Holiday Program.
Not only were we able to provide our clients with a means by which they can cook tasty and nutritious meals, we now have the opportunity to provide crockpot theme bags throughout the year. A theme bag contains all the ingredients for a meal, including the recipe. We love theme bags almost as much as our clients!
is year, with the help of the community, our Holiday Program helped over 200 local families with anksgiving and Christmas dinner and provided gi s for 250 children.
e recipe is a sample, not the one provided by the writer.
CrockpotHam&BeanSoup
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb dried white beans (e.g., navy or great northern)
1 ham bone or 2 cups diced ham
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 carrots, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
4 cups chicken broth (or water with bouillon cubes)
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp thyme (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:
Rinse the dried beans and remove any debris. If you prefer, soak the beans overnight in water, then drain before adding them to the crockpot. (You can skip this step, but it helps with cooking time and digestibility.)
In the crockpot, add the beans, ham bone (or diced ham), onion, garlic, carrots, celery, chicken broth, bay leaf, and thyme.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4-5 hours, until the beans are tender and the ham is falling off the bone.
If you used a ham bone, remove it, shred the meat, and return it to the soup. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy! Add a slice of crusty bread for the perfect meal.

FACTS ABOUT FEBRUARY
Both January and February originally had 28 days. However, at the time, even numbers were considered to bring bad luck, so Pompilius added another day to January. However, February was left with 28 days and had long been considered an unlucky month.
