HOW TO DETERMINE IF IT’S TIME TO DOWNSIZE
Market: The real estate market is another factor to consider when deciding if the time is right to downsize. A seller’s market can help seniors get the biggest return on their real estate investment,potentially helping them make up for meager retirement savings.For example, home prices skyrocketed across the country during the COVID-19 pandemic, making that a great time for sellers to put their homes on the market. Seniors selling to downsize may capitalize on such spikes since they won’t be looking to turn around and buy larger, equally expensive homes once they sell their current place. If the market is down and seniors can withstand the work and cost a little longer, it may be best to wait until things bounce back in sellers’ favor.

SENIOR NEWS LINE
By Matilda Charles
Reasons to smile
With all the negative, questionable and just plain bad news out there lately, I’ll take good news anywhere I can find it.
And one place is the website Good News Network (www. goodnewsnetwork.org). GNN, started in 1997, currently has 21,000 good news stories from around the world. Categories range from life, to gardening, to health, business and more.
There’s a free app for the phone, and if you don’t like to see ads, you can pay a yearly fee of $15 to get rid of them. Or click the “Subscribe” button to get a free bit of good news in your email each day.
There’s even a GNN book: “And Now, The Good News: 20 Years of Inspiring News Stories,” by Geri Weis-Corbley, available on Amazon in paperback. The reviews for the book are great, saying that the short stories are real mood-lifters. I’ll be ordering it. Here’s an example: The bank that lost 66 of its employees on 9/11 have paid to put all those employees’ kids through college. How great is that?!
Here’s another one from the book: A piece of a family farm was being sold at auction and a very young family member wanted to bid and hopefully win back the property. By common agreement, all the other 200 farmers at the auction stayed silent while the young family member was bidding.He won back the family’s farm land.
The Good News Network isn’t the only bright spot. Positive News (www.positive.news) will send a good news email once a week. The categories range from society to science to economics and more. It’s British, which makes it even more interesting.
If you’d rather look around on your own, do an online search for good news, positive world news or even good news for seniors. You’re sure to find something to smile about!

POSTCARDS FROM PET CAMPERS
Families throughout Western NY enjoy camping in state parks like Letchworth, Hamlin Beach, and even at lakeside campgrounds along Conesus and Silver Lake. More and more are bringing pets along for the adventure! Dogs especially love hiking trails, sleeping in tents, and sneaking a hot dog if someone drops one by the fire. Before heading out, be sure your pet’s flea/tick protection is up to date and that their vaccinations are current and many campgrounds often require it. And don’t forget the dog bed, they’ve earned a spot by the campfire too.
ANSWERS TO COMMON PET FOSTERING QUESTIONS
Who pays for fostering costs? The question of financing foster care depends on the organization one works with. Most shelters or rescue organizations will cover at least some of the costs of supplies and medical care. However, this is not always the case. It is important for potential foster parents to understand the commitment fostering requires before signing up.

Dog Makes Odd Breathing Noise
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Recently, I had my 9-year-old, part-poodle/Maltese dog’s teeth cleaned. The vet had to pull two teeth as well. Since this was done, “Scoobie” seems to make an odd noise as he is breathing. I feel like this is due to the tube they put down his throat as they cleaned his teeth. When I got him home, he had a hacking cough, which subsided about three days later. But the noise he makes when breathing continues. He doesn’t seem to be in pain, though. I like our vet a lot and hate to question him, so hopefully you can help me out or let me know what I could ask the vet. -- Valeeta R., Montgomery, Alabama
DEAR VALEETA: A good veterinarian will not mind extra questions from a pet owner,so I encourage you to contact your vet and describe Scoobie’s breathing noise.
In fact, you should go ahead and bring Scoobie in to have thevetcheckoutthenoiseinpersonsohecanruleoutany serious issues.Pets that are put under general anesthesia for certain procedures (such as the tooth scaling Scoobie had) can develop complications afterward, ranging from stress reactions to major health emergencies. Don’t be worried about bothering your vet -- your dog’s health is the most important thing here.
Ask lots of questions, and insist on straightforward answers from the vet -- not answers designed just to make you feel better.If afterward you feel that you didn’t receive satisfactory answers, or if Scoobie doesn’t improve, take your dog to another vet for a second opinion.

My Friend, Linda by Sylva Palmer
I never had a sister, Only brothers and my sons. Although I love them dearly ey weren’t into “girlie” fun.
A lady moved in down the street, So I took a little walk. She turned out to be a friendly sort And we began to talk and talk.
roughout the years our bond grew strong, And we discussed all sorts of things. We talked of books and TV shows, Politics, weather and our offspring.
We sometimes got in trouble, Like getting lost out in the woods; Or trying on some gaudy hats, Laughing louder than we should.
Our coffee time was sacred. Nothing stopped our daily meet. During COVID we set up outside Observing a safe six feet.
But tragically my friend got sick. She fought for four long years. is month will mark a year gone by, And I still can’t stop the tears.
She was my friend, my confidant, My sounding board, “my sister,” And as long as I live on I know I’ll always miss her.
Rest in peace, Linda
Examining the Common and Available Treatments for Gallstones &body mind
FEATURED BUSINESSES
By Keith Roach, M.D.
DEAR DR. ROACH: What advice do you have for the treatment of gallstones? -- N.W.
ANSWER: Gallstones are common (6% of men and 9% of women will get one over a lifetime) and are mostly composed of bile salts and cholesterol. The goal of treatment is to reduce symptoms and the risk of complications. Depending on the size and composition of a person’s gallstones, there are different therapies available.
Themostcommontreatmentforsymptomaticgallstonesissurgery. Surgery is highly effective, although there are complications such as bleeding, infection and leaks. About 10% of people will develop diarrhea after surgery, which tends to get better over weeks to months but sometimes requires treatment with a bileacid-binding drug like cholestyramine. Surgery is performed laparoscopically, which means faster healing times.
For people who are not good candidates for surgery (such as those with significant medical illnesses) or people who do not want surgery, there are other options. Medications given by mouth, such as ursodiol (Actigall), can dissolve gallstones, but this can take a long time, usually several years. People with smaller stones that are mostly made of cholesterol can be good candidates for this treatment. However, it is not 100% effective.
Another option is a tube placed into the gallbladder through the abdominal wall to drain bile, which is also sometimes done to remove stones, but I have seldom seen it done. Similarly, shockwave treatment, which is commonly used for kidney stones, is rarely used but can be a reasonable option in people with only one or two stones.

AUTOMOTIVE EXPERT KATIE COLELLA:
On A Mission to Help Women and Girls Feel “Pretty Powerful”
BY KATRINA M. RANDALL
“I like it when women tell me things aren’t as difficult as they were in their head. I like them to come out of my class with a light bulb, like, ‘Wow, I can do this.’”
KATIE COLELLA
According to a report from global consulting company Ducker Carlisle, women comprise only 2% of all automotive technicians, and the automotive technician career has the widest gender gap of all service personnel positions. As a female automotive technician in a male-dominated industry, Katie Colella of Palmyra has felt the loneliness of the gender gap.
at’s why in 2017, she launched Pretty Powerful, a nonprofit dedicated to teaching women and girls automotive skills. As co-owner of Reapers Custom, Pretty Powerful is a passion project born from Colella’s journey that started when she was 19, working as a secretary in an auto garage.
Sitting in an office was never the right fit for Colella, who is a hands-on sort of person with a flair for the creative. So, when she watched the guys in the garage painting a car one day, she knew she wanted to try it. e guys made her a deal: If she could convince a customer to let her apply her skills to their car, she was in. So that’s just what she did.
An older gentleman who drove a white Buick gave her the go ahead to repaint his bumper, which is when she realized her true calling. is set her on the path to earn a degree in business management while taking automotive classes. She continued to follow her passion post-graduation with a job in the same shop she started out in – but she missed female companionship.
In search of more women in her industry, she found a camp for middle school girls in Troy, NY. Camp “Rosie’s Girls” (a er Rosie the Riveter) was run out of the Emma Willard School for girls and focused on teaching girls skills from male-dominated industries, like firefighting and carpentry. It was a natural fit for Colella, who found a passion for teaching automotive skills to girls during the four years she taught at the camp.
When the camp shut down, Colella wanted to continue her work, and Pretty Powerful was conceived. She says, “My whole goal is to empower women to be self-sufficient and to know that they can do it. I want to provide them an atmosphere where they won’t be judged. ere’s no judgement in my classes; there’s no silly questions.”
KATIE COLELLA TEACHING WOMEN ABOUT CAR MAINTENANCE
a car, roadside emergencies, how to change oil, and how to change a tire. According to Colella, the hardest part of changing your tire really is needing a little extra brute strength, but she has tips for that. When she teaches how to change a flat, it’s done as if it were a real situation. is means no special tools, just the ones most cars come with.

Currently, she’s teaching a class once a month through Mozaic, a chapter of Arc New York, and may soon offer her program through her local library. In addition to automotive maintenance and roadside emergency basics, she also teaches about women in automotive history. For instance, Charlotte Bridgwood was a vaudeville performer born in 1861 who is also credited with inventing the first electronically operated automatic windshield cleaner, called the “Storm Windshield Cleaner.”
As for the older gentleman who let her fix his bumper more than 20 years ago, she’s never forgotten him. He believed in her, and she carries that forward through her work of empowerment and self-sufficiency. Colella says, “I like it when women tell me things aren’t as difficult as they were in their head. I like them to come out of my class with a light bulb, like, ‘Wow, I can do this.’” A er all, she says, “You can be pretty, and you can be powerful – and that makes you pretty powerful.”

Inspiration: One oft-overlooked benefit of working with professional contractors is the likelihood that they can draw up ideas for projects that homeowners might otherwise never have thought up on their own. Homeowners without specific ideas in mind can ask contractors to come up with various scenarios before committing to a particular one. Veteran contractors can draw on years of experience to create designs that DIYers might be incapable of coming up with and/or incapable of seeing through to completion.

For example, homeowners may need to get by with just one bedroom nightstand and may even need to replace their existing nightstands with something more compact. Discarding living room end tables and downsizing to a smaller coffee table also can help homeowners make smaller common areas more welcoming and less cluttered.

Does Your Family Have a Fire Escape Plan? (Family Features) When a home fire occurs, you have very little time to get out. A working smoke alarm doubles your chances of survival, yet more than twenty percent of American homes are without them. Energizer and the International Association of Fire Chiefs teamed up to address this problem by providing vital fire safety information to families. Make a Plan Installing smoke alarms on every level of the home and developing a plan of escape can give your family precious minutes to get out and get to safety. Draw a floor plan of your home and sketch exit routes out of every room. Make sure you have a fire escape ladder long enough to reach the ground from upstairs rooms.

STAY SAFE IN BRIGHT DRIVING CONDITIONS
Weather often contributes to motor vehicle accidents. Snow, rain and other factors that compromise drivers’ vision can make driving hazardous, but there’s a dark side to sunny skies as well.
Glare from the sun can compromise drivers’ vision and lead to driving mishaps, regardless of drivers’ experience or skill level. The sun can pack a powerful punch any time during the day, but can be especially hazardous in the early morning sunrise and late-afternoon sunset.
A 2017 study published in the journal Medicine titled, “Life-threatening motor vehicle crashes in bright sunlight” looked at the risks posed by bright sunlight. Researchers found that the risk of a life-threatening crash was 16 percent higher during bright sunlight than during normal weather. Researchers concluded that bright sunlight may create visual illusions that lead to driver error, including poor distance judgement.
Plentifulsunlightisoftenahallmarkofspringandsummer,butsun-blindness is a real concern for drivers. As anyone who has turned into blazing sun only to discover their windshield has been rendered opaque by sun glare can attest, driving on sunny days can be challenging. Unfortunately, the sun might create substantial glare during rush hour, making driving during these times more dangerous and accidents more likely.

PITFALLS TO AVOID FALLING INTO DEBT
Retail credit cards: Many retailers offer their own credit cards. Consumers may be enticed to sign up for such cards by the opportunity for instant, and often significant, savings. For example, a home improvement store may offer an immediate 25 percent discount to customers who sign up for a store credit card and use the card to make a purchase.As enticing as such savings can be, consumers should recognize that a recent study by CreditCards.com found that the average retail credit card APR is 25.9 percent. That’s more than 6 percent higher than a general purpose credit card. Consumers who cannot pay balances in full each month could end up paying much more in interest if they use retail credit cards instead of general purpose cards.

Randy P. Wheaton
July 26, 2025
Honeoye: At age 70, Randy passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, July 26, 2025, in Naples, NY. He was born on March 17, 1955, in Canandaigua, NY, to the late James and Kathryn (Sloan) Wheaton. In addition to his parents, Randy is predeceased by his sister, Noelle Overfield.
Survived by his beloved wife of 44 years, Lynne (Hanna) Wheaton; his children, Benjamin Wheaton, Amber (John) Mastin, his siblings, Deborah (Michael) Sweeney, Bruce Wheaton, Brett “Stu” (Connie) Wheaton; his uncle, Lee Wheaton; his grandchildren, Gabriel Wheaton, Jay Wheaton, Rachel Burton, Emily Burton, Melanie Burton, Lucas Mastin, and Delia Mastin; along with several extended family members and many dear friends.
Randy Wheaton was a man who wore his heart on his sleeve, and there was never a doubt about where you stood with him. He lived with love, loyalty, and honesty at the center of everything he did. Above all else, Randy cherished his family and friends. His love was constant and fierce, and he made sure the people in his life felt it. Whether it was dropping by for a surprise visit or showing up to lend a hand, no matter how big or small the need, Randy was always there.
Randy lived for adventure. He spent his childhood summers at the Double Diamond Ranch, his grandparents’ ranch, where his lifelong love of animals, horses, and open skies took root. He visited his Uncle Lee’s horse ranch in Oklahoma whenever he could. Lee, a champion bull rider, was one of Randy’s heroes. Randy even dabbled in horse trick riding himself. He graduated from Honeoye Central School in 1974, where he was a gi ed athlete. He still holds the school’s high jump record, a testament to both his
THE BENEFITS OF PREPLANNING YOUR FUNERAL

Few people want to think about their deaths, and fewer still want to think about dying suddenly and/ordyingyoung.Preplanningafuneralandsettingmoneyasideearlycan protect and help families faced with sudden deaths. That can be especially important for young parents, who won’t want to leave their spouses and children financially destitute should they suddenly pass away.
natural talent and determination.
He was the proud owner of Randy Wheaton’s Contracting in Honeoye, where he specialized in siding and windows. Known throughout the area for his exceptional cra smanship and work ethic, Randy treated every job like a piece of art. He brought creativity and precision to everything he built, and his reputation reflected that. His work was more than a trade. It was an extension of who he was: an artist, a perfectionist, and a man who took pride in doing things right.
He liked artists like Marty Robbins or Johnny Cash. Whenever he got a new album, he’d play it on repeat until every word and note were second nature. He loved traveling and never turned down a chance to escape into sunshine, music, and motion. But what Randy truly loved were spontaneous road trips and epic adventures, o en setting out with no particular destination, just a desire to see where the wind would take him. Animals of every kind found refuge with him, from raccoons and possums to injured birds and strays, because his heart had room for them all.
More than any accolade or accomplishment, Randy’s true legacy is found in the love he shared with his wife, Lynne. ey were together for 48 years, 44 of them married, and built a beautiful life filled with laughter, loyalty, and unforgettable memories. He adored his children and grandchildren, always finding ways to connect, support, and show up with that signature blend of love and mischief that only he could pull off.
Randy’s life was an adventure, and he lived every chapter of it to the fullest. A celebration of life gathering will be held and announced at a future date. To send a condolence or share a memory please visit: www.doughertyfuneralhomes.com

An aspect of estate planning concerns funeral arrangements. Many people prefer to make their own funeral and burial plans so that these heart-wrenching decisions do not fall on the shoulders of grieving family members. Funeral planning may include choosing a burial plot, selecting a casket, indicating cremation, and paying for everything in advance so there is no financial burden on surviving family members.

HOW CONSUMERS CAN SHOW THEIR SUPPORT FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES
Take charge of your to-go order: Convenience became the name of the game when ordering food during the pandemic. Curbside pickup service was offered as a safety measure, and many restaurants that never previously offered delivery or takeout started to do so to generate revenue at a time when in-person dining was limited if not disallowed. Some restaurants began offering delivery through apps like Grubhub or Uber Eats, and though that may be convenient for diners, restaurants must pay a fee to utilize those apps. In lieu of ordering through a third party delivery service, consumers can take charge of their to-go orders and pick up the food themselves. That saves restaurants the delivery app surcharge, allowing them to increase net profits on the meals they sell.

A heartfelt thank you to the parking and office staff of the Orleans County 4H Fair for their courtesy, thoughtfulness, and follow-up. Our precious granddaughter lost an item that is very special to her at a few levels within minutes of walking away from our parked car. With heavy hearts, we went to the fair office to inquire about lost and found, and our number and the item description were taken with a promise to call if it was found. As it is a high demand item, we expected nothing, but to my surprise, I got a call two days later that it had been found! A very, very special thank you again to fair staff for follow-through and honesty. These lessons are more valuable than the item itself and I thank you all for being a part of the village it takes to raise a child right! We also had a wonderful time at the fair! Great job, as always!
Libraries
I am so grateful for our libraries. I have the fondest memories of weekly trips to the library with my father. Now I can share that experience with my grandson. We attend the weekly story time at two libraries. He is able to enjoy fabulous stories, engage in craft projects, and/or dance and play with other children. Of course, libraries offer more than that. They provide internet access for those who do not have it at home. They provide employment resources for those looking for jobs. They offer a variety of fun classes and build community. Of course, you can always find a good read there. Our communities are enriched by our libraries. And thank you to the librarians who make it happen.

THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT RETURNING TO SCHOOL
Adults who hope to return to school might be surprised to learn that the educational landscape has changed considerably since they were last in a classroom. Collegestudentsarenolongerjust young men and women who begin pursuing degrees right out of high school. In fact, the number of adults returning to the classroom has increased considerably, often making younger students the exception rather than the rule, says the college financial planner Straighter Line. According to the U.S. Department of Education, college students 25 years or older comprise 40 percent of all students enrolled in college.
Adults who are thinking about returning to school are urged to fill out the free applications for student aid to see if they qualify. Grants and scholarships may be available, and some workers find that employers may match funds or offer some assistance to finance job training courses. Many schools now offer online courses that make it easier for working adults to pursue their degrees.
Many working adults are returning to school to pursue new or advanced degrees, as more colleges and universities are facilitating such pursuits.

Start by setting limits on screen time to help shift their attention to other activities like reading. Becoming a reading role model by showing your own love for books is another powerful way to inspire kids. Make books more accessible by taking them to the library, buying books from their favorite genres, or introducing digital reading options like e-readers. Finally, don’t worry about the content—they don’t have to read classic novels! As long as it’s age-appropriate, let them enjoy whatever books capture their interest, whether comic books or magazines. Read, Kids, Read!
In today’s digital world, getting kids to pick up a book can be a challenge. While reading offers countless benefits, from boosting creativity to improving vocabulary, many children are spending less time reading for fun. Parents who want to encourage their kids to read more can try several effective strategies to foster a love of reading that lasts a lifetime.
