STRANGE BUT TRUE By Lucie Winborne * Early cosmetic surgeons used a procedure known as paraffin wax rhinoplasty, in which they would inject hot liquid wax into a patient’s nose and mold it into the desired shape. Not only was this dangerous, but, no surprise, it really didn’t work.

We’ve Been Busy!

Our local family-owned business continues to grow and evolve in 2024 and we want to take this opportunity to share with you all we have going on to start the year.

Printing We’re very excited to announce our long-term investment in new printing equipment that will arrive in February. We’re incredibly grateful for the history and longevity of our current machines, which arrived in the 1980s from East Germany. But as our capabilities have grown since then, so too has our need to update how we serve you. You might notice our Penny Saver size adjust to a standard 8.5x11 magazine format in the coming weeks. You might also notice the colors, registration and overall quality of our printing improve. We’re investing in us, so that we can invest in you for many years to come.

A New Edition Coming this spring we’ll be adding a new weekly tenth edition in Wayne/Ontario counties. It will be distributed in the Macedon, Palmyra, Newark, Clifton Springs and Phelps communities.

Please help us name this new edition by going online to gvpennysaver.com/nameit.

UNDERSTANDING DEMENTIA

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Defining Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and Finding Out How to Treat It ---

DEAR DR. ROACH: Please explain Hashimoto’s disease. I have heard that it is rare, but two colleagues have recently been diagnosed. We all work in a very high-stress field. -- J.H. ANSWER: Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is not at all a rare disease. It occurs in up to 10% of the population and much more frequently in women than men.

Although people can be diagnosed at a young age, it is more common at older ages. It is caused by an autoimmune reaction to different parts of the thyroid, with thyroglobulin and thyroid peroxidase antibodies commonly found. TSH receptor antibodies are found on occasion.

Hashimoto’s thyroiditis most commonly causes low thyroid levels, although there may be a period of time early in the disease where thyroid levels are high. Not everybody with antibodies will develop low thyroid levels. The thyroid is sometimes enlarged, but a careful exam will usually show that the gland is firm, showing that immune cells have infiltrated the gland.

Treatment of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis involves replacing the thyroid hormone that the gland can no longer make. The dose depends on body size to a certain extent, but needs to be adjusted based on lab results.

Most people are treated with levothyroxine, also called T4, which is the primary hormone made by the thyroid.

T4 is converted to T3 (also called triiodothyronine, the active form of the hormone) in various tissues outside the thyroid. T3 only stays in the body for a short while before it is destroyed, so a once-daily treatment with T4, which lasts longer, allows the body to convert T4 to T3.

Most people do very well with T4 treatment. A minority of people cannot efficiently make the active T3 form, in which case-combination treatment can be considered.

Unfortunately, T3 must be dosed twice daily.

It is thought that stress hormones play a role, since stress does seem to increase the risk of developing an autoimmune thyroid disease like Hashimoto’s.

Dementia presents itself through various symptoms, and memory loss alone is not enough to lead to a dementia diagnosis. Dementia can affect thinking and social abilities, but the Mayo Clinic notes that some dementias may be reversible. The following are some common symptoms of dementia: • Trouble communicating or finding words.

• Difficulty completing complex tasks.

• Challenges with planning and organization.

• Episodes of confusion and disorientation.

• Memory loss, which is often noticed by a third party.

• Personality changes that can include agitation, anxiety, inappropriate behavior and even hallucinations.

Apart from Alzheimer’s disease, which is a progressive disorder most common in people age 65 and older, there are other types of dementia.

The second most common is called “vascular dementia.” This results from damage to vessels that supply blood to the brain. This damage can be the result of stroke, smoking and other blood vessel conditions. Brain imaging can often detect blood vessel problems implicated in vascular dementia.

Dementia with Lewy bodies, or DLB, is another dementia that laymen may mistake for Alzheimer’s disease. The Alzheimer’s Association notes that people with DLB often have not only memory loss and cognitive problems common in Alzheimer’s, but they also display initial or early symptoms such as sleep disturbances, well-formed visual hallucinations, slowness, gait imbalance or other Parkinsonian movement features, which can lead to misdiagnosis.

HOW RISING FOOD DEMAND IS AFFECTING FARMING

REAL ESTATE SECTION

Decreased commercial farming interest: Fewer people are working in farming. Land prices for expansion, new government mandates and regulations, and the impact of immigration and trade policies have made farming less attractive than it once was.

Fewer commercial operations result in a diminished food commodity output.

Here’s a Tip • File this one under safety AND energy smarts: Clean the dryer vent after every load. Clean the dryer vent screen monthly with a gentle soap and water bath.

Rinse well and dry thoroughly before inserting back into your dryer.

• “I used to struggle with plastic wrap every time I tried to use it. But now, it’s a breeze since I learned to do these two things: One, keep plastic wrap in the freezer. It unrolls evenly, not one side or the other. Two, use a serrated knife to cut it instead of relying on the metal strip down the side of the box. You lay it out on the counter, and just run the knife down the edge you want to cut. Works like magic, and it’s no longer frustrating.” -- G.S. in Georgia • Store an apple or two with your potatoes to keep them from sprouting. Be sure to check them often.

TIPS FOR REALIZING GOALS IN THE YEAR AHEAD Make your goals public. By publicly declaring your intention to improve your life, you’re putting some positive pressure on yourself to fully commit to your goal. Friends and loved ones can be great sources of support, and once they’re aware of your efforts, you likely won’t want to let them down. Once you have decided on a resolution, post your short-term and long-term goals to your Facebook page or let your immediate family and closest friends know of your goals in person. Their encouragement can help you stay on track, and they may even offer to help you realize your goals.

HOW CONSUMERS CAN SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT LOCAL BUSINESSES Share experiences through word-of-mouth. Word-of-mouth marketing still works, and consumers can play an important role in ensuring that it benefits local businesses.

According to the marketing solution experts at Hibü, word-of-mouth marketing remains the most popular way to recommend a business. Consumers trust what others say about a business, so positive experiences with a local firm can be shared with family, friends and neighbors looking for similar services.

David Buckel: The Batavian Who Died to Call Attention to Earth’s Plight B Y D AV I D R E I L LY Edited and printed with permission from Reilly’s Small Town Talk, originally published in The Batavian, 7/28/2020

D

avid Buckel was an environmentalist, an LGBTQ advocate, and an attorney. He started his life in Batavia. He ended it in 2018 in New York City to draw attention to the plight of the Earth at a time when it seems so many people are focused on other things.

David was born in Batavia on June 13, 1957, the son of an agricultural consultant and a florist. He was a bright student. At Batavia High School, where he graduated from in 1975, he was a member of the National Honor Society and voted the boy Most Likely to Succeed by his classmates. He participated in varsity cross-country, track, and tennis.

David went on to college at the University of Rochester, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in 1980. After graduation, he worked as an attendant caring for in-home hospice patients. After earning a Juris Doctorate degree in 1987 from Cornell University Law School, David began his career as an attorney. While living in Rochester, David was introduced by friends to a man named Terry Kaelber. They hit it off, became a couple, and moved to New York City.

Inspired by his earlier hospice work, David began his career at Legal Aid, assisting those in need of legal help but who otherwise couldn’t afford it.

In 1995, David began working for Lambda Legal, which helped LGBT (Q was added to the initialism starting in 1996) youth, and he became a director of the organization’s marriage project.

During his tenure at Lambda Legal, David was part of the counsel responsible for two big victories: In 1996, the court ruling in Nabozny v.

Podlesny established a legal precedent to protect LGBTQ students from being bullied in all school systems, and in 2001, David was one of the attorneys for JoAnn Brandon, who won a lawsuit in Nebraska against a local sheriff for failing to protect her transgender child who was raped and murdered in 1993.

In 2008, David retired from Lambda Legal to devote his time and energy to helping preserve the environment. He became an expert in composting and the reuse of organic garbage. He spent several years interning at Red Hook’s Columbia Street Farm in Brooklyn, where he learned the intricacies of composting peoples’ kitchen waste into fertilizer to grow more food. Red Hook had been built on old baseball diamonds to become the biggest urban farm in the United States.

Eventually, David applied his talent for organizing and planning to become the director of the Brooklyn operation. With the assistance of volunteers, Red Hook processed 225 tons of compost every year. David cultivated his workforce of volunteers as well as he did the organic material, and he was respected, even beloved, by them. Several workers said he changed their lives.

increasingly upset with the trajectory of government action and inaction.

In early 2018, David emailed his assistant at Red Hook with details on everything to do in case of his absence. He also labeled everything at the site, equipment, tools, and supplies. His assistant asked him if he was thinking of retiring, but he assured him he was not.

Then, before dawn on the morning of April 14th, David Buckel left his Brooklyn home and headed to a nearby park.

He told no one he was leaving. He stopped at a patch of grass off the walkway and apparently built a small wall of earth around himself. He sent an email to the media detailing what he was about to do, poured a flammable substance on himself, and lit it on fire.

Within a minute or two, David was dead.

The obvious reaction was shock and sadness. His family, friends, coworkers, former colleagues, and former classmates were bewildered.

They couldn’t believe that a quiet, gentle, private man who cared so deeply for others would choose such a public way to end his life. He hadn’t even said goodbye to his loved ones.

David’s final email stated: “My early death by fossil fuel reflects what we are doing to ourselves.” No one will ever completely understand why he chose to make a statement and end his life in such a horrific way. But hopefully, people, including Batavians from the community where he grew up, will remember him for the contributions he made to the world and as the good, kind, helpful person he was.

As he developed his passion for tending to the environment, David pursued a parallel interest in Buddhism, with its tenets of inner peace and caring for others. Buddhist protest methods likely contributed to his untimely end.

DID YOU KNOW?

Spinal muscular atrophy, or SMA, is the most common cause of mortality in infants. According to the Muscular Dystrophy Association, SMA is a motor neuron disease that affects the central nervous system, peripheral nervous system and voluntary muscle movement. WebMD notes that the severity of SMA varies widely, but the disease is known to weaken muscles and can cause difficulty eating, breathing and walking. In the past, infants diagnosed with SMA typically did not survive more than two years, but the MDA notes that doctors now prefer to avoid making rigid predictions on life expectancy based strictly on age of onset.

Seasonal [Local Bridge] is BS Why is the [local bridge] closed in the Summer? It makes it pretty tough to ride a bike between [local town] and [local town]! Also, why didn’t they make the thing 20 feet higher than it is? Seems like they could have done a lot better job with that bridge than they did!

Would it really be so tough to change the schedule to let people get across in September, October, and April?

We need authority to step up I work at a store in my local town and in my dept. we had a bullying situation.

This person tried to ignore the individuals who would harass them, made rude comments or just blatantly gave dirty looks just to get them going. It was horrible to see them stressed or in tears because of this unnecessary drama.

This person went to the two different managers to tell them what was going on. Their response was “Just ignore it” or “I’m not a HS Principal, just figure out a way to deal with it.” ARE YOU KIDDING ME? When we first start we have to watch videos on harassment and bullying and afterwards we need to sign a paper stating that we watched it.

The video clearly states that if you are experiencing uncomfortable situations like this, the person to go to was your manager. And they have the audacity to tell them to just ignore it? Do your job as a manager and help protect the employees you’re supposed to oversee and help keep protected from situations like this!

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

Does Pet Insurance Extend to Pet Sitters?

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I left my dog Shep in the care of a pet sitter for a week while I was away on business. The sitter texted me that Shep cut his paw during a walk in the nearby woods, and they took him to my veterinarian for care. Shep is doing fine now. I have pet insurance, but I don’t think it’s my responsibility to pay for this. The injury occurred while the sitter was walking him. The sitter says that injury and illness are my responsibility to cover. Who should pay? -- Bill in Chicago

Talk more with the sitter to get more details. In the meantime, pay the vet and submit the reimbursement claim to the pet insurance company.

Professional sitters routinely include a statement in their contract with clients that any illness or injury is the responsibility of the client. This protects them from financial loss if something does happen. However, if they are accused of deliberately neglecting or abusing a pet in their care, that statement won’t protect them.

Thank you for your support...from your local pizzeria!

DEAR BILL: Did the sitter give any details of how Shep was injured?

The circumstances are important. For example, if Shep was on-leash and stepped on an unexpected piece of debris in the path, that’s different than if Shep was let off-leash and was running free in the woods. But, if you normally let him off-leash in the woods and instructed the sitter that it was OK to do that, then that’s another consideration.

On this note, I’ll add that sitters should purchase liability insurance that specifically covers them and their business in case a claim is made against them -- or worse, if they’re injured while caring for someone else’s pet.
