HOW TO MAKE EXISTING WINDOWS MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT
Caulk or add weatherstripping. Small cracks and gaps around windows, which are most often found around windows in older buildings, might not seem like a big deal, but such breaches can lead to considerable energy loss. The DOE recommends using caulk to seal cracks that are less than 1/4-inch wide on the parts of the window that do not move (i.e., frames and where the trim meets the wall). Caulk might be less effective at fixing leaks larger than 1/4 inch in width. Employ weatherstripping to address leaks on movable parts of the window. Properly applied weatherstripping should adequately seal windows when they are closed without making it difficult to open or close them later on. Weatherstripping is available in various materials.

GRICULTURE
22 MILLION PEOPLE
The rich history of agriculture in the U.S. attracted colonists to the area. Since most colonists were European, the styles of agricultural cultivation and production were Europe influenced as well. Colonists also brought a large amount of livestock with them to America, which caused changes in its natural landscape. As the population grew, farms expanded, and settlements moved from the east into the west. This caused the agricultural industry to grow exponentially, with a larger variety of produce being rooted.
There are 22 million people employed in the agriculture sector.
FEEDS 144 PEOPLE
Today every farmer feeds 144 people as compared to the one farmer for 25 people in the 1960s.
58.3 YEARS
The average time a farmer operator spends on the farm in a lifetime is 58.3 years.
RUBY BLACK:
Stepping Up for Soles4Souls
Penfield’s own Ruby Black is making a significant impact – one pair of shoes at a time. A passionate advocate for Soles4Souls, she dedicates her time to collecting and distributing footwear to those in need, ensuring that something as simple as a pair of shoes can lead to new opportunities.
Originally from Galveston, Texas, Ruby grew up in Maine before moving around a er attending the University of Southern Maine. She and her husband, Steve, along with their two beloved fur babies, PePe and Mateo, settled in Penfield six years ago. Her professional life is a balancing act between her full-time role as Executive Assistant and Director of Community & Employee Engagement at Volvo Cars Rochester and her part-time position at Designer Shoe Warehouse (DSW), where she focuses on their philanthropic initiatives.
Finding Purpose in Soles4Souls
Soles4Souls, a Tennessee-based nonprofit, turns unwanted shoes and clothing into opportunities for people in need. e organization focuses on four key initiatives, 4Relief, providing footwear and clothing to people in crisis situations, 4Opportunity, helping entrepreneurs in developing countries create sustainable businesses through shoe sales, 4EveryKid, delivering new shoes to children experiencing homelessness, 4 ePlanet, keeping shoes and clothing out of landfills to benefit both people and the environment.
Ruby’s involvement with Soles4Souls began in 2018 when DSW partnered with the organization. During the pandemic, as resources dwindled and the need grew, she deepened her commitment. She traveled to New York City and New Jersey to assist with shoe distributions and even ventured to the Navajo Nation and villages in Honduras to personally witness the profound impact of donated shoes.
“What attracted me most to Soles4Souls was that I could give something I already had – shoes! And I knew I was making a difference,” she says. “Some people can give money, which is great, but others can’t. Most of us have shoes we no longer wear, and instead of throwing them away, they can go to someone in need.”
Expanding the Mission
Her first shoe drive set a goal of 500 pairs – a number she wasn’t sure she could reach. But through persistence and growing community support, Ruby has been collecting shoes for five years now. She has established donation boxes at various local businesses, including Volvo Cars Rochester, Garber Honda, Chevy, and Randall, Pinnacle Hill Chiropractic, StretchLab Victor, LA Fitness East Ave, Medved Running & Walking, and others.
In 2024, Ruby’s efforts hit a huge milestone of 10,000 pairs collected between April and November, and this year, she aims to match or exceed that milestone, spending her free time collecting, sorting, and bagging shoes to support Soles4Souls’ initiatives.
As an ambassador for Soles4Souls, Ruby’s role extends beyond collection – she’s a voice for the organization, raising awareness and engaging others in the mission. Whether through social media, fundraising efforts, or personal outreach, she strives to connect with those willing to help.
A Philosophy of Giving
“Money is great, and we all know it is needed, but cleaning out your closet and giving away things (shoes!) you no longer need can have a HUGE impact!”
tries to pay it forward any time and any way she can.
Ruby Black’s dedication to Soles4Souls is a testament to the power of community-driven philanthropy. By simply donating a pair of shoes, anyone can be part of the change – one step at a time.
For Ruby, philanthropy isn’t just about financial donations. Instead, it’s about doing what you can when you can. “Money is great, and we all know it is needed, but cleaning out your closet and giving away things (shoes!) you no longer need can have a HUGE impact!”
According to the S4S website, the US throws away 13 million tons of clothing and footwear each year, which has a detrimental impact on the environment that disproportionately affects people who are economically vulnerable. By extending the life of shoes and clothing that might have otherwise been prematurely discarded, we care for both people and our planet.
Ruby says her heart is bigger than her wallet, but she knows “simple gestures like holding open a door or [offering] a smile can also have a HUGE impact. Happiness is the most important thing to me today,” suggesting we all “find things that make you happy and in turn you will make other people happy.” She believes happiness

How the Community Can Help
Ruby encourages everyone to participate in ways that fit their ability:
• Donate shoes – any style, size, or condition. New and gently used shoes are especially helpful for the 4Opportunity program, which is Ruby’s focus
• Host a shoe collection box at your workplace or special event
• Spread the word about Soles4Souls and its mission
• Participate in Ruby’s annual fundraising run, where every $20 raised provides a new pair of sneakers to children experiencing homelessness in the U.S.

My dog has cancer. What next?
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My Golden Retriever, “Jasmine,” was recently diagnosed with lymphoma. I’m devastated. She seemed to tire easily, so I took her to the vet for a checkup, where they said her lymph nodes were enlarged.They did a biopsy to confirm that it was cancer. My question is, what now? The vet said she needs more tests, but I’m not sure what happens after. -- Grace T., Hartford, Connecticut
DEARGRACE: I’m glad you took Jasmine right to the vet,because even though the diagnosis is a serious one, she can start getting treatment that much sooner.
According to the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine, lymphoma is sadly common in Golden Retrievers and other dog breeds. However, it can be treated, with chemotherapy as the primary therapy. Surgery might be recommended depending on the type of cancer.
Now that lymphoma has been confirmed through the biopsy, the next step is to determine how far the cancer has spread through Jasmine’s body. Several tests are done: blood tests, urinalysis, a bone marrow test, X-rays and sonograms. Some veterinary offices are equipped for these tests, but you may be referred to specialist care for more advanced testing. These tests are essential for developing an appropriate treatment plan for your dog.
If the vet has not yet followed up with next steps since the diagnosis was made, call and ask for more details and their recommendation. Most vets provide this information along with the diagnosis, so it’s worrisome that you don’t have a path forward. You can always select a different vet if you aren’t confident in the current one.

Thank you - to the person who paid for the quick grocery trip the kids and I took to HFMP a week ago last Wednesday. Sometimes we need a reminder that there ARE still kind people in this world. I for sure needed the reminder, going through a challenging season in life. Thank you, so much.
Good teenagers
My seventeen year old neighbor, Jack, was coming home from track practice only to see several cars driving over an American flag that had blown in the road from high winds. He was so appalled that cars were driving over it that he stopped his truck, stopped traffic, retrieved the flag, folded it, and returned it to the company it came from. There are still a lot of good teenagers around here. We are very proud of him.
We get it, we see you.
In our small town we have one chain coffee shop within one of our gas stations. They have eight (!!) of the large flags lining the street and corner with their logo. And even more so, they’re surrounding the small, local diner in the same parking lot. It’s obnoxious.
Burning garbage is illegal
For over four years now we have had to endure the toxic smoke that comes from our neighbors burn barrel. They burn now almost every day. Lots of us that live rurally have burn barrels that we burn sticks or paper in, but this family of pyromaniacs burns plastic and Styrofoam all the time in a barrel in the ditch on the edge of the road. Their garbage burns a black and grey smoke that makes it impossible to enjoy the outdoors. Most of the time they light it and then leave so they don’t have to breath it like we do. Let’s be clear about something. Burning garbage in NY state is illegal. Google it. Too bad no one enforces the law though. It stinks to have to endure such horrible neighbors who know the smoke bothers us, but don’t care. And get this, they actually pay for garbage pickup weekly.

SENIOR NEWS LINE

Scams against Seniors are getting worse
Data breaches and financial scams against seniors are at all-time highs. What was bad before is apparently even worse now.
Why do scammers target seniors? Here are the top reasons:
- They perceive that we have a lot of money. After all, we worked all those years ... we saved a lot of cash, they assume. And now we have huge pension and Social Security income that surely puts us in a high income bracket, they assume.
- Many of us grew up in an era when we were polite to people on the phone. Scammers take advantage of that and coax us into divulging private information.
- Many of us aren’t especially skilled with technology. We press buttons on our phone that we shouldn’t, or click links in strange email, not realizing that we’ve just enabled the download of a virus or made a connection to the scammers.
Here are a few suggestions for staying safe in the war with the scammers: Order your credit report from TransUnion, Equifax and Experian and go over them line by line. Be sure there isn’t anything you don’t recognize, that no extra loans show up and no additional names are listed. To do this, go online to annualcreditreport.com and order your free credit reports. If you spot something wrong, report it at IdentityTheft.gov or call the National Elder Fraud Hotline at 833-372-8311.
Lock down your credit at all three credit bureaus. This will keep anyone from opening credit in your name.
To learn safety on your electronic devices, ask your senior center, library or even your bank for a class on how to avoid falling for an online scam. And perhaps most valuable of all: Don’t feel the need to be polite if a stranger calls you on the phone and starts asking questions. Just hang up. Better yet, don’t answer if you don’t recognize the number.

Anesthesia Required for Colonoscopy Has a Very Low Risk of Delirium
Q.(Cleaning, X-rays, Comprehensive Exam) - Save $258 Expires 3/31/25
*Cannot be combined with insurance, discounts, or any other savings*
Dr. Julie Labrecque
2 S. Main Street, Manchester, NY 14504 Call now for an appointment: (315) 462-5633
DEAR DR. ROACH: My husband, who is 71, has been having some short-term memory problems over the past two years. We recently saw his primary care doctor, who asked him some questions and had him do a few tasks. He did fail a few of them. She agreed that there was something going on, and now we have to wait to see a neurologist.
He has an appointment for a colonoscopy next month, and I’m concerned about how the anesthesia will affect his already compromised short-term memory. I saw the same thing happen with my father; he was having the same issues and broke his leg, which required surgery. He was never the same afterward. He couldn’t live on his own anymore and required memory care right away. I have been told by medical staff at the hospital that this sometimes happens after a surgery because of anesthesia.
What are your thoughts about my husband’s upcoming colonoscopy? Should I be worried about what this will do to his memory issues? -- S.L.
ANSWER: There are many kinds of memory issues that can affect older adults, and while Alzheimer’s disease is the most common, this does not mean that your husband has it. Getting an evaluation by a neurologist is an excellent idea.
A.Anesthesia does not cause dementia. However, some people, like your father, do develop a complication called postoperative delirium. Delirium is different from dementia because it comes on quickly. The cause is almost always identifiable, whether it’s due to medical illness,surgery,infection,low oxygen,metabolic abnormalities (such as sodium levels), etc. Delirium can last for a very long time and often unmask dementia that had been previously well-controlled.
The risk of delirium after the usual medication for a colonoscopy is small. The inhalation agents given in general anesthesia are much more likely to cause delirium. While a colonoscopy can be performed without sedation, in my opinion, the risk of delirium after a colonoscopy with the usual sedation is so low that it is not necessary to forgo it.
