SIGHTS TO SEE AT FALL HARVEST FESTIVALS
Cider stations - Lemonade stands that are staples of summer give way to hot or cold cider offerings come the fall. Cold ciders are perfect for an unseasonably warm fall day while warm varieties are tailor-made for days when there’s a chill in the air.
HONEOYE CENTRAL SCHOOL DAY OF CARING:
Making a Difference
BY NANCY HEALY AND PENNY HENSLER
Folks are used to seeing our rolling hills rich with fall colors this time of year - red, orange, and yellow - but purple? blue? hot pink? If you saw groups of similarly dressed students throughout the community and school grounds on Friday, October 3, you saw Honeoye Central School’s third annual Day of Caring in action! Once again, the focus was on bonding with classmates, enhancing school-community connections, and encouraging volunteerism.
Every student from pre-K to grade 12 donned their color-coded 2025 Day of Caring t-shirts, designed by an HCS senior, as they arrived at school. Elementary students spent the day focused on lending a helping hand on campus by planting bulbs with the Garden Club, writing cards to nursing home residents, making hygiene bags for homeless shelter clients, creating a kindness chain, or designing Bulldog posters. Before most of the middle- and high school students headed off campus to their worksites, they signed their class banners in the gym and came up with a “battle cry” cheer to represent their grade. ey then gathered
in the auditorium to hear recipients of last year’s Day of Caring efforts speak briefly about how their places were positively impacted by the work students did. With an energetic send off and quick snack in hand, groups le for their worksites, ready to tackle this year’s projects.
Our sensational Seniors headed to Ontario County Park to paint picnic tables, with a trio working on a mural at Sandy Bottom park. Multiple jubilant Junior teams scattered to Canadice Town Hall, Little Lakes Community Center, Honeoye UCC, St. Mary’s Church Seeds of Love clothing closet, and Honeoye Junior Baseball fields for gardening, painting, and organizing tasks. Groups of super Sophomores helped with painting projects throughout Richmond, including the parking overlook, trail kiosks, Sandy Bottom Park, and the Abbey Road Schoolhouse. Our fantastic Freshmen split up to help in Bristol at Levi Corser Park, the Fire Department, and the Bristol Library, doing some gardening and cleaning up a meditation walk, while others lent a helping hand inside and outside at Allen’s Hill Library.
Best parts of the day? Senior Natalee P said, “Being able to see people smile at the work we’d done.” Freshman Millie R said, “A er putting mulch down at the park, I liked seeing how happy the guys were that we helped out.”
Our middle schoolers were not to be outdone! e 8th graders worked at Sandy Bottom Park painting picnic tables, parking barricade bumpers, and inside the pavilions. 7th graders tackled projects on the school’s campus, including sprucing up one of the courtyards with birdhouses they made and painted, weeding, painting inspirational rocks, and planting bulbs. 6th graders headed to the Honeoye Community Garden, Richmond Town Hall, and Richmond Fire Department to do some painting, bulb planting, and winterizing
And lest you think it was all work and no play, students were treated to cider and donut holes at the clothing closet, had time to be silly on the playground, and as 6th grader Madison B reports, “My favorite part of the day was at the firehouse when I got soaked holding the hose!”
A er a productive morning of volunteering, students returned to campus for a pizza lunch with a DJ and lawn games, and then, joined by the elementary school, assembled in the baseball field for a drone photo of the entire student body before filing into the auditorium for a slide show video recapping this exciting day. Younger students returned to their wing while the older students gathered back in the gym for the day’s final event - a rousing Pep Assembly with grade competitions and games, accompanied by the high school band!
Our students’ “many hands” certainly made “light work” of various projects throughout the district. A huge thank you to our teachers, administration, community members, and many sponsors for supporting their efforts and making this day possible. Our goal continues to be inspiring our students to be good citizens and carry the joy of helping others and their communities beyond their years at Honeoye.

Chikungunya Disease Leaves Woman in Immense Pain for Years
Q. A.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I have a friend who lives in Paraguay and had been diagnosed with chikungunya. It has been extremely painful for her for several years. Her doctor prescribed 90 mg of etoricoxib daily and a shot of duodecadron once a month.
I’ve never heard of chikungunya, and the medical care she is getting seems sketchy. I wish there was a solution for her immense pain. Do you have any knowledge of this virus and/or the medication for it? Are you aware of any new or trial drugs that might be worth trying? -- J.
ANSWER: Chikungunya may not sound like a real medical condition, but it is a viral disease that was first found in West Africa. It has since spread to the Caribbean and the Americas with transmission occurring in the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and a few cases in Florida.
It is spread mainly through mosquitoes. The word “chikungunya” is from an African language and roughly translates to “stooped walk” due to the joint pain caused by the disease. In addition to joint pain, people with chikungunya usually have a fever and a skin rash. Headache and even meningitis may occur. However, joint pain is the most common long-term complication.
While most people will clear their joint symptoms within six months, symptoms can go on for years in some people. Your friend is receiving a COX-2 inhibitor (etoricoxib), which has the potential for heart damage, so it is not approved in the United States. She is also on a chronic steroid, dexamethasone, which is used in North America but may not be the best long-term treatment as it has numerous long-term side effects. In North America, people with chronic joint pain from chikungunya are treated similarly to those with rheumatoid arthritis. This often includes methotrexate or another disease-modifying antirheumatic drug. I urge your friend to see a rheumatologist.
Q.
DEAR DR. ROACH: In your column, I frequently read letters from people who have to get up during the night to urinate. My husband had this problem and got up hourly. We assumed it was as a prostate issue.
After prostate surgery, he had a catheter for a few days, and we found that he was producing almost two liters of urine at night. The urologist immediately ordered a sleep study to determine if sleep apnea was present.
He tested positive, was started on a CPAP machine, and only needed to get up once on the very first night. It changed his life. -- D.S.
A.
ANSWER: I thank D.S. for writing. Obstructive sleep apnea is a well-known cause for urinating at night, but we often forget to think about it. A really useful tool for sleep apnea, the STOPBang questionnaire, doesn’t include excessive urinating at night, but your letter is a good reminder that we should consider this diagnosis in people who are at risk for sleep apnea.
The risk factors in the STOP-Bang questionnaire are Snoring; Tired enough to fall asleep easily during the day; Observed stopped breathing or gasping for breath during the night; high blood Pressure; a Body mass index over 35; an Age older than 50; a Neck size larger than 16 inches (40 cenitmeters); and the Gender of male.
A person who answers positively to three or more of these risk factors should at least prompt a consideration of whether sleep apnea is likely enough to test the person for it.
There’s so much happening at your local libraries!

I step outside and the chilly air tightens the skin on my bare arms. Summer has ended all too quickly, and some of the leaves on the trees have already started to burn with the colors of fall. Fall colors.... so bright and intense and beautiful. It’s like nature is trying to fill you up with color, to saturate you so you can stockpile it before winter turns everything muted and dreary.
Autumn repays the earth the leaves which summer lent it.
~Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742–1799), translated by Norman Alliston, 1908

SENIOR NEWS LINE

Don’t touch the thermostat
By the time you read this, many of us in cold-weather areas will be listening for (and dreading) the click sound that heralds the arrival of warm air through the furnace vents. The dread comes in when we mentally calculate just how much it’s costing us to stay warm.
The temptation, always, is to set the thermostat at a lower temperature and cut costs. However, for seniors this can be dangerous. We’re no longer physically equipped to handle cold and are vulnerable to hypothermia if the temperature is too low. If you already have a preexisting condition, your risks are even higher.The National Institute on Aging suggests that we don’t set our indoor temperature to lower than 68-70 degrees. And the math doesn’t really support lowering the temperature too much.
Rule of thumb is that for every degree you lower the temperature, you can save 1-3% on your costs. If your monthly bill is $100, that means you can potentially save $1-$3 on your costs. If you’re gone for the day, they say that if you lower your thermostat by 7-10 degrees for an eight-hour day, you can save 10% on your bill. But when you come home it’s going to be very cold inside and take hours to warm up to your normal temperature, with the furnace running every minute.
Ways to stay warm:
Investing in the clear plastic film that covers windows on the inside can block a lot of cold air that blows in through even the most modern windows. Experts say this can save 10-30% on your heating bill. Based on my experiences, I believe this. Open the curtains on the sunny side of the house to let the sun in during the day. Have an annual inspection of your furnace to keep it running well.
And put on an insulated vest. You’ll be surprised how much warmer you’ll feel!

Readers sound off on dog peeing in a neighbor’s yard
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Unbelievable that someone wouldn’t take responsibility for keeping their dog off the neighbor’s property! I just wanted to thank you for your response to the question. -LEOnard H.
DEAR PAWS: Although you were correct that any dog should not go on a neighbor’s lawn, you also may have hurt the chances for shelter dogs to get homes. We have had dogs for years, and they did their business in our yard, but we did not have a yard full of awful bare spots surrounded by yellow dying grass. What you stated could, sadly, make a family decide not to adopt a dog. -- Nancy D., via email
DEAR NANCY: While I’m not sure why being a responsible neighbor would preclude a family from adopting a dog, I’m happy that you agree with me about the bigger problem: trespassing into a neighbor’s yard to pee in it.
DEAR PAWS: We have a 7-year-old female Great Pyrenees dog and about 3 acres of lawn. I can tell exactly where our dog has peed, because the 8- to 10-inch area of grass is much greener and about 2 inches taller than the adjacent grass. She also goes on our various neighbors’ lawns near the edge of the street, and I’ve never noticed any yellowing or dead grass areas. So, what gives? Is our dog unique or is it the breed, or maybe what she eats? All the best. -- Gary S.
DEAR GARY: Some strains of grass are more resistant to the nitrogen in dog urine (Kentucky bluegrass, for one), but no grass is completely tolerant of pee. Again, the bigger problem is that a pet owner felt it was just fine to let their pet walk onto their neighbor’s lawn to “fertilize” it.
Tansy is a Nederlandse Kooikerhondje. Her heritage is a duck hunting breed. She loves the water and what better way to cool off on a hot summer day!
IT PAYS TO USE CRATES WHEN TRAINING PUPPIES
Many dog owners, particularly those who have never before had a dog, may hesitate to employ crates to train their puppies. That’s understandable, as on the surface it can seem cruel or inhumane to confine a living animal to a cage. However, the AKC notes that dogs are den animals that naturally seek out canine caves for security. That’s true whether dog owners provide crates for their puppies or not. So while humans may see crates as cruel, dogs very likely view their crates as secure places where they can go if they get scared or feel skittish. In fact, according to the AKC, dogs’ perception of crates is one reason why dog owners typically find it relatively easy to get their dogs to adjust to crates and ultimately enjoy them.

Express Yourself!
There was a vent a few weeks ago about people not wearing ‘enough clothing’ in public to which I was appalled, because I’ve never seen a vent about all the men mowing their lawns shirtless in our community. The right to express ourselves through creative clothing is something I love to see on others and would never judge, especially with the temperatures summer brings us. A few days later, as I was shopping, I happened to notice an elderly lady with a thin shirt and black bra underneath, to which I got a burst of joy that even the older generations like to dress spicy sometimes!
Book Boxes
Over the years I’ve lost many in my book club. We would exchange books between the group. We would gather them from yard sales, book sales, splurge on a few of our favorite authors. Now it’s just two of us. So, finding these book boxes is a great joy. I now put my done books in there and slip in a few children’s books from my collection.
Hideous Solar Farms
My wife and I moved out here to this local county for the beautiful landscapes, rolling hills, peace, gratitude, and quiet 16 years ago. Now, before our eyes are this hideous slew of solar farms popping up everywhere. The problem is they did a very bad job of hiding them from the street views. Some solar farms planted trees which are half dead and not replaced. When these boards approve of the use, why don’t they follow through with covering these ugly solar farms and make the owners or companies maintain these 20-year use garbage and require they replant the trees and plant plenty? This county is getting ruined. And speaking environmentally, where are the panels to go after their 20-year use? SAY NO TO SOLAR FARMS. I see this every day and they are building so many more. Just great.
Medical Office’s Voicemail

If it wasn’t so annoying, it would be comical when I hear these on their voicemail messages: 1. “Your call will be answered in the order it was received” (how else would it be answered?) 2. “This call is being recorded for quality and training purposes” (really? I wonder if this really occurs?) 3. “We are experiencing a higher volume of calls than usual” (I called back at 3am and got the same message, so forgive my skepticism). Why can’t a real, live person answer patients’ calls?

Beautiful souls went to heaven in the flood of heavy rain. Many of them were children e night the angels came.
Some never got to say goodbye. ings will never be the same. Looking around for loved ones e night the angels came.
ey gathered together to say their prayers to take away their pain and pray for every one so lost the night the angels came.
ey went to church on Sunday and prayed in God’s great name. “Please never let this happen again” the night the angels came.
ey never will forget the terror and the pain. eir loved ones went to be with God the night the angels came.
Essentially, autumn is the quiet completion of spring and summer. Spring was all eagerness and beginnings, summer was growth and flowering. Autumn is the achievement summarized, the harvested grain, the ripened apple, the grape in the wine press. Autumn is the bright leaf in the woodland, the opened husk on the bittersweet berry, the fruit of asters at the roadside.

Terry C. Hallett September 7, 2025
Honeoye Falls – Terry C. Hallett, 72 years of age, passed away early Sunday morning, September 7, 2025 at Hildebrandt Hospice Care Center in Rochester.
Terry was born January 17, 1953 in Hornell, the son of Edward and Joyce (Drake) Hallett. Terry graduated from East High School in Rochester and moved to Honeoye in 1972. He remained there until his move to Honeoye Falls in 2003 where he had lived ever since. Terry worked for 47 years as a lineman for RG&E, retiring in 2017.
Terry had a love for race cars and classic cars. He built them, worked on them and raced them. Anything that needed to be done with them he would do. Terry and his son, Brian, had a race team and was considered the owner, crew chief and financier. ey had a lot of fun with the race team and “hitting his son with the hood prop” was often laughed about. Terry’s love for classic cars brought him to e Syracuse Nationals show and the Carlisle trade show just about every year. Terry also enjoyed boating, especially the trips on Lake Ontario and the islands up north to Alex Bay.

Compost is a friend
Spread a thin layer of compost on the lawn and in garden beds. Compost prevents weed growth, insulates and protects the soil and provides nutrients that will be needed once the spring busy season begins. By using compost, homeowners can reduce dependence on chemical fertilizers and weed killers.
Take inventory
Look at which items in the yard have seen better days and prepare to recycle or reuse them in different ways. Faded plastic planters can be used as impromptu bird baths in a garden. An old tire can be mulched and turned into soft material to put around a playset. Inquire as to the proper way to recycle plastic lawn chairs that may be broken.

DID YOU KNOW?
Brief breaks during the work day can dramatically improve one’s ability to focus on a task. A 2011 study published in the journal Cognition found that brief mental breaks can improve focus on a prolonged task. The study’s authors tested participants’ ability to focus on a repetitive computerized task for 50 minutes under various conditions. The control group performed the task without breaks or diversions. The switch group and non-switch group memorized four digits before performing the task and were directed to respond if they saw one of the digits on the screen while performing the task. The switch group was the only group to be presented with the digits twice during the experiment, and both groups were tested on their memory of the digits at the end of the task. Most participants’ performance declined considerably over the course of the 50-minute task. However, the performance of those in the switch group did not decline at all, as the two brief breaks to respond to the digits allowed them to maintain their focus throughout the experiment. The researchers behind the study concluded that the switch group’s performance was steady because the brain is built to detect and respond to change, and its performance will actually suffer if it must maintain prolonged attention on a single task without taking a break. Professionals with a lot on their plates may see their performance improve by taking frequent mental breaks throughout the workday.
