From the bottom of our hearts, we want to express our deepest gratitude to our community for the overwhelming love and support you have shown us during this incredibly difficult time following the loss of our son and brother, Spencer Wriley Schmidt, known as “Burger.” Your kind words, thoughtful gestures, flowers, delicious meals and simply being present have brought us immense comfort as we navigate through our grief. We will forever cherish the memories we have of Burger and the way our community came together to support us. His radiant smile and infectious laugh will never be forgotten.

A special thanks to TJ Woodward and Matt Meyer at Gilmartin’s for their assistance during this journey. We could not have imagined a more beautiful service than Paster John Keller provided for our family and friends.

Major Amie Feroleto

A TRAILBLAZING LEADER IN THE NEW YORK STATE POLICE

On January 2nd, Major Amie P. Feroleto made history as the first female commander of Troop A in the 107-year history of the New York State Police. As the 28th leader of the troop, she oversees all patrol and investigative operations across Western New York’s eight counties, managing a force of more than 400 sworn and civilian personnel. Her appointment marks a significant milestone in law enforcement and “sets an inspiring precedent for future leaders in law enforcement.”

A Journey Shaped by Family and Community

Born and raised in Castile, Feroleto’s path to law enforcement was not initially planned. A graduate of Letchworth Central School, eyeing a career in business management or human resources, she grew up in a family deeply involved in the community, with her mother serving as a foreign language teacher and her father as a retired State Corrections Lieutenant. It was her father’s encouragement that led her and her sister to take the New York State Police entrance exam, a decision that would ultimately shape Amie’s career (her sister is now a NYSP Lieutenant at the NYS Intelligence Center and her brother recently retired from the Air Force).

Feroleto earned her undergraduate degree in Business Administration from SUNY Geneseo in 2000 and earned a Master’s degree in Criminal Justice at the University at Albany two decades later. She credits her passion for lifelong learning as a driving force behind her continuous professional development, including specialized training in law enforcement leadership, emergency management, and critical incident response.

Outside of work, Feroleto prioritizes time with her fiancé and three boys, sharing a love of sports and outdoor activities like hiking, boating, kayaking, and just relaxing on Silver Lake. She is also an active member of the New York State Police so ball team, embracing the competitive spirit and camaraderie of the team while promoting teamwork and morale in a different capacity.

A Career Defined by Dedication and Leadership

Feroleto’s 22-year career has been marked by diverse assignments across multiple troops and roles. She began as a field training officer in Steuben County(TroopE),thenasatrooperinPlattsburgh(TroopB).Overtheyears, she climbed the ranks in Troop K (Westchester and Putnam Counties) and Troop D (Oneida, Herkimer, and Madison Counties), eventually becoming Administrative Captain in Canandaigua (Troop E). Her experience also includes time in Professional Standards Bureau and Communications, as well as special assignments including the State Fair Exhibit, State Police Summer Program, Child Seat Technician role, Promotion Exam Detail, and the Master’s Program.

Reflecting on her career trajectory, Feroleto says, “When I started as a young trooper, my long-term goal was to achieve the rank of Lieutenant, following in my father’s footsteps. Once I reached that milestone, I set my sights on something new, becoming the first female Major in Troop A. Now that I’ve reached that goal, I’m taking time to appreciate the journey and the people who helped me get here before deciding what’s next.”

Overcoming Challenges and Embracing Change

Like many in law enforcement, Feroleto has faced challenges, particularly in balancing career and family. Taking time off to raise her children posed concerns about falling behind, but she says she “reminded [herself] that raising a family was just as important as [her] career,” and she “made a conscious effort to be present for both.”

She has witnessed significant changes in the field, particularly regarding women’s roles. With national representation of women in policing historically at 11%, initiatives such as the 30x30 Initiative— aiming for 30% female recruits by 2030—are helping shi the landscape. Feroleto is deeply invested in these efforts, advocating for more women to pursue careers in law enforcement, and she said she’s “seen a noticeable rise in female recruits and leadership… the shi is encouraging… diversity, especially in leadership, is critical to strengthening our organization and enhancing how we serve our communities.”

Inspiring the Next Generation

As a mentor and leader, Feroleto emphasizes the importance of diversity in law enforcement. She recalls cutting her hair off before the academy to blend in, only to realize that the profession needs individuals from all backgrounds and perspectives. “If you have the dedication, integrity, and perseverance to pass the background, physical fitness exams, and psychological evaluations, then you belong in this profession. ere is no single ‘type’ of officer; what matters is your commitment to service and your ability to do the job with honor.”

She also recognizes the significance of her position as a role model for young women considering a career in law enforcement. “I once read that ‘you cannot be what you cannot see,’ and that resonates deeply with me. I want other women to see women in leadership positions and know that leadership roles are not only attainable but something to aspire to.”

Feroleto is inspired by her colleagues, whom she says, “ ey are my motivation every day.” She seeks to recognize and appreciate officers’ service, sacrifice, and responsibilities, “fostering an environment where professionalism, growth, and service are prioritized.”

Looking Ahead

As Major of Troop A, Feroleto remains focused on fostering professionalism, mentorship, and excellence within the New York State Police. She is committed to strengthening community relationships through initiatives like the Special Olympics and organizations such as New York Women in Law Enforcement (NYWLE) and the National Association of Women Law Enforcement Executives (NAWLE).

“If you have the dedication, integrity, and perseverance to pass the background, physical fitness exams, and psychological evaluations, then you belong in this profession. There is no single ‘type’ of officer; what matters is your commitment to service and your ability to do the job with honor.”
MAJOR AMIE P. FEROLETO

Her personal and professional goals remain intertwined—whether leading her team, coaching or cheering on her children, or bringing law enforcement and the public together in community initiatives, she seeks to continue making a positive impact on those around her. With her historic appointment, Major Amie Feroleto paves the way for future generations of law enforcement officers, proving that leadership, service, and perseverance know no bounds.

Bird Lover Is Troubled Over the

Possible Transmission of Bird Flu

Q.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have two bird feeders off my back deck. They hang from tall poles as a vain attempt to keep squirrels from eating all of the birdseed! But to refill them, I must take them down and handle them, and I recently wondered if I might be exposing myself to the new bird flu.

Is there any information about this possibility? Any possible transmission of the virus might have occurred to other bird lovers, too. --

ANSWER: The songbirds you are attracting to your feeders, such as cardinals, sparrows and woodpeckers, are not likely to be infected with avian influenza (“bird flu”). It generally infects waterfowl such as gulls and ducks.

CURE!!

Your fungal toenails

• Are you embarrassed to wear sandals or go barefoot because of thick, yellow nails?

• Now is the time to get treatment. If le untreated, fungal toenails can: affect your immune system, cause recurring athlete’s foot, infected ingrown toenails (requiring surgery) and discomfort wearing shoes, not to mention their unsightly appearance!

• Patients with diabetes, poor circulation and numbness to their feet can develop more serious problems.

• ere are also safer new topical medications available to help cure fungal toenails.

• A simple one-a-day pill for 3 months will usually cure fungal toenails within 6-9 months from the start of treatment.

• Treatment now may result in clear, thinner nails for the year 2025.

• Call now for an appointment to determine if you’re a candidate for this newer treatment.

NEW PATIENTS WELCOME

Most experts do not recommend taking down your feeders but do recommend a periodic cleaning of feeders and baths with a diluted bleach (10%) solution. You should wash your hands after refilling your feeders.

Those who keep poultry such as chickens, ducks, geese or turkeys (which may also be infected by bird flu) should not use feeders or baths that attract wild birds.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I see commercials about different kinds of pillows, asserting that they are better for you medically in various ways, especially with enhancing your sleep experience. This implies to me that conventional pillows can be bad for you. Is any of this true? -- W.R.G

A. A.

ANSWER: No, I wouldn’t say that conventional pillows are bad for you. However, there is evidence that in people with chronic neck pain, pillows made with latex or springs have been shown to reduce neck pain, waking symptoms and disability. They also enhance the satisfaction that people have with their pillows, but studies taken as an aggregate did not show an improvement in sleep quality. It seems that the height and composition of the pillow can affect the alignment of your neck bones.

If you aren’t having any problems, there is no reason to change. But if you wake up with a sore neck or have chronic neck pain, a special pillow might help, although I doubt there is one pillow that is right for everybody.

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. © 2025 King Features Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved

PREGNANCY GINGIVITIS

During pregnancy, hormonal changes (increased estrogen and progesterone) make a woman more susceptible to gingivitis, or gum disease. Gingivitis is inflammation of the gums, which can cause soreness and bleeding. According to the CDC, pregnancy gingivitis affects as many as 75 percent of pregnant women. Hormonal changes can lead to gum inflammation because of the body’s decreased ability to fight plaque bacteria coupled with increased blood flow to the gums. While there’s no evidence that shows mild gingivitis is harmful to the fetus or causes premature birth or miscarriages, gingivitis may lead to periodontitis (advanced gum disease), which has been linked to preterm birth and low birth weight. It can also lead to tooth lossifnottreated.

Honoring search and rescue dogs

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I’m writing to ask if you can call attention to search and rescue dogs, who do heroic work every day -- from the recent fires in southern California to avalanche rescues and more. I just think they’re amazing. -- Carlo in Missoula, Montana

DEAR CARLO: You’re absolutely right: Search and rescue (SAR) dogs do amazing work nearly every day in the U.S. and around the world. They are unique, highly trained working dogs, often specializing in types of rescue or recovery.

SAR dogs must be energetic but even-tempered, as they often work long hours in chaotic environments. They must be confident, motivated and responsive to their handler. Most are selected when they’re puppies, after a period of observation and interaction, and not every SAR candidate makes the cut, even at this early stage. Training can take at least two years, and most SAR dogs retire before they’re 9 or 10 years old, as the physical requirements can be demanding. There are two types of SAR dogs: air-scenting and trailing. An airscenting dog detects and follows airborne or wind-borne scents over a large area (up to 150 acres or a quarter mile in some instances) and follows them as close to the source as possible; cadaver dogs are one example. They frequently work off-lead and return to their handler to lead them to the source. A trailing dog can discern a specific scent, such as that of a missing person, and follow the exact track of that scent; they usually work on-lead with the handler, proceeding more slowly.

These dogs are so effective that they’re used in 70% of rescue missions worldwide, entering dangerous areas ahead of human teams to pinpoint survivors.

So, hats off to search and rescue dogs! And to their dedicated trainers and handlers.

CARMEN CAMPBELL SHARES HER EXPERT INSIGHTS AND ACTIONABLE ADVICE TO ELEVATE YOUR MARKETING GAME

CARMEN CAMPBELL

Marketing Consultant, Featured Media

RRecently, while researching current buying habits, one trend that really stoodouttomewashowconsumersare increasingly seeking ways to support local, small businesses in an effort to boostlocaleconomicgrowth.Icouldn’t help but think, “What a fantastic trend!” What’s even more exciting is that many of the businesses featured in the Genesee Valley Penny Saver are exactly that—local, small businesses. What makes this even more special are the incredible stories behind each business. Whether it’s a family-owned operation that’s been passed down through generations, a dream that began in a garage, or someone taking a leap of faith when presented with an opportunity, each business has its own unique journey to success. Over the weekend, while attending the Genesee County Chamber Awards, I had the chance to hear some of these

I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO SHOP LOCALLY AND HELP BOOST THE ECONOMIC GROWTH OF OUR OWN GENESEE COUNTY.

inspiringstoriesfirsthand.It’sclearthat behind each of these businesses is not just a product or service, but a story of perseverance, passion, and hardearned success.

I encourage everyone to shop locally and help boost the economic growth of our own Genesee County. Even better, take the time to discover the unique stories behind these businesses and the people who built them. With spring just around the corner, now is the perfect time to get outside, enjoy the sunshine, and support these incredible local establishments.

Remember, showing support doesn’t always require a purchase. You can leave a positive review online, write a heartfelt letter to the business, or simply spread the word through good old-fashioned word-of-mouth. Every little bit helps these businesses thrive and continue to make our community stronger.

BUDGET-FRIENDLY WAYS TO UPGRADE A LANDSCAPE

Upgrade walkways. Though it’s more expensive than adding planters and planting perennials, upgrading old and cracked walkways is a great way to give a property a whole new look. According to the renovation experts at HomeAdvisor, homeowners typically pay between $6 and $12 per square foot for new concrete walkway installation. Homeowners working on a budget can target spots where walkways have already cracked and fix those areas first before continuing the project piecemeal until all the old walkways have been replaced.

Fair Housing Statement

All real estate advertised in the Genesee Valley Penny Saver is subject to the Federal Fair Housing Act, which makes it illegal to advertise any preference, limitation, or discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, age, marital status, handicap, familial status, or national origin, or intention to make any such preference, limitation or discrimination. We will not knowingly accept any advertising for real estate which is in violation of the law. All persons are hereby informed that all dwellings advertised are available on an equal opportunity basis.

EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY

KEEP CRITTERS OUT OF YOUR HOUSE

Human beings are not the only creatures looking for warm and cozy spots to ride out autumn and winter. Very often wild animals see homes as the perfect spots to nest and survive the cold. Fall is a great time to inspect your home top to bottom and make sure there are no points of entry for unwanted guests. The Humane Society notes that deteriorated trim and fascia boards can make great entry points for animals like squirrels, raccoons, skunks, and possums. Other animals may bed down under porches or decks or even inside chimneys. Seal any holes or repair points that are penetrable by cold animals. Just be sure to inspect the home prior to sealing or capping any potential entry points to be certain there aren’t any animals already living inside. Otherwise you can trap unwanted animals in your home. Test possible entry points by sealing them loosely with a paper towel or insulation and see if the material gets pushed out.

SIMPLE WAYS TO TRIM HOME HEATING BILLS

Equip windows with necessary fortifications. Good Housekeeping Magazine estimates drafty windows add anywhere from 10 to 25 percent to your heating bill. So, open blinds during the day to soak up heat from the sun, and close them at dusk to keep the warm air inside. Drapes, weather stripping and caulking all help block drafts.

SENIOR NEWS LINE

Ge ing through the winter

The top five items tonight on my local news channel were automobile crashes caused by slick road surfaces. And these weren’t just little fender benders, although there was one of those that happened in a store parking lot. These five crashes produced crushed cars, serious injuries and yes, in one case, death of the occupant of the vehicle ... all because of the condition of the roads.

And while I hate to think of myself as a coward, more and more there are things I just don’t want to risk.

I check the weather news for the temperature before I venture out by car. If it’s too cold (or will be by the time I get home), the roads could be slick. Black ice is hard to see but once your vehicle is on it, there’s no steering. Too cold and I just stay home.

During a recent storm we had yet another power outage. I keep thermometers in the fridge to keep track of how warm the temperature gets. For iffy items, I just don’t take the chance that they might have gone bad. While several sources say to be sure the foods have stayed below 40 degrees in the fridge, the CDC puts a specific time limit on it: four hours in a refrigerator without power. After that time, throw it out.

Instead of waiting for a warm day (which isn’t going to happen soon) to melt the ice and snow on my walk and driveway, I hire someone to clear it, and I just pay the cost, even though it’s not a welcome expense.

And in case you’ve never looked it up, it appears that over the age of 45 is when we’re advised not to shovel snow because of the risk of heart attack! For me, 45 was a very long time ago!

anks, Newark Town Cop

My small dog got out. She was just a puppy in training still. As I ran down the street in Newark, an officer stopped and helped me save her. I would like to thank him again for going out of his way to help.

On Jan. 24th, I lost my pet, Marlee. I went to get a mate to be with my other furry friend. I called several rescue shelters and foster homes. No one happened to have a lap furry friend. I called the animal shelter in Batavia and I’m so happy I found you! I want to give a hug and love to Linda and Brenda, two volunteers there. They said to come and see what they have. They had what I wanted. These people were so great and understanding and awesome! We just love our new furry friend, whose name is now Dallas. Great job to all the staff. I am very pleased with the outcome. God bless you all. Thanks again!

Genesee Co. Animal Hospital

Co are Vet Pricing

Learn from my experience! I recently brought my two cats into a local Vet for their 3-year Rabies and FVRCP shots. When I called for the appt I specifically said, "shots only, that's all I can afford.” Well, much to my surprise when I was done, I received an invoice for $480! Yes, that's FOUR HUNDRED EIGHTY DOLLARS! I was not only charged for the shots, but the bill also included a $87.50 "Wellness Visit" for each kitty! I was beyond shocked. They only weighed my cats and asked me questions-OK? So, after the fact I called two other local Vets and here is the comparison pricing I received: 3-Year Rabies I was charged $118 for each kitty, while for the other 2 two Vets I called their pricing was $40/$50. Wellness Visit I was charged $87.50 for each kitty; other two Vets I called their pricing $50/$60. FVRCP I didn't question as it was a low cost. Please learn from my experience and remember this $480 bill I received and be sure to comparison shop your local Vets. Not all are created equal.

* On March 8, 1971, Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier meet for the “Fight of the Century” at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The bout marked Ali’s return after the boxing commission revoked his license over his refusal to fight in the Vietnam War. Frazier won by a unanimous decision.

* On March 9, 1981, a nuclear accident at a Japan Atomic Power Company plant in Tsuruga, Japan, exposes 59 workers to radiation. Sixteen tons of waste spilled into Wakasa Bay, but Japan’s Atomic Power Commission made no mention of the accident until more than a month later. By then, radioactive levels of seaweed in the area were found to be 10 times greater than normal.

EFFICIENCY AT WORK

Information is now seemingly always at our fingertips thanks to mobile devices like smartphones and tablets. While these devices may theoretically allow workers to become more productive, research suggests otherwise. Professor, researcher and author Gloria Mark with the University of California, Irvine says that activity switching and being frequently interrupted, including self-interruptions like checking social media and email, can lead people to develop short attention spans. That inability to focus for extended periods of time can adversely affect efficiency.

HOW WOMEN CAN KEEP THEIR CAREERS GOING FORWARD

Define career expectations. Defining career expectations early on can be beneficial in various ways. Such expectations can guide career choices and provide a road map that women can utilize to stay the professional course. This can help women make decisions about their careers when they come to forks in the road. For example, if a path to promotion seems blocked, women can examine their established career expectations to help them decide if it’s time to seek new employment. Defining career expectations also can help women effectively communicate with mentors about their goals, and mentors can then use that information when offering guidance. Expectations need not be concrete, and it’s likely they will change over time. But they can serve as an important foundation for anyone from young female professionals to experienced executives looking to make changes or determine the next step in their careers.

Retirement can seem like it will never come for young professionals. But time can be a sieve,andretirementagecanarrive in the blink of an eye. Young adults who have not planned accordingly for retirement can find themselves infinancialstraitsatapointintheir lives when they want to kick back and enjoy themselves. Financial experts advise that financially solventpeopleshouldbeginsaving aggressively for their retirements early on. Ideally people should start saving in their 20s when they first leave school and begin their careers. The sooner one saves, the more time money has to grow. Vanguard says that the person who saves $4,500 per year over a career spanning 45 years can reach a goal of having more than $1 million in savings by the time he or she retires. Compounding interest and investment matches from employers can further secure professionals’financialfutures.
