My wife and I, along with our kids, moved to Atlanta in 2021, and it didn’t take long for us to fall in love with this town. We’ve found a true sense of home here, and I’m excited to give back by running for Town Supervisor.
I’m a proud US Army Veteran with a hands-on background in mechanics, jet ski repair, and solar installation. I’ve worked in project management and operations & maintenance for solar systems (with a background in alternative energy), and I believe in practical solutions and honest leadership.
Together, we’re raising a blended family of five amazing kids — all graduates, with our youngest three finishing at Wayland-Cohocton. As Town Supervisor, my top priority will be transparency. Recent audits have highlighted areas where we can improve, and I believe it’s time for stronger checks and balances. I would re-hire a town clerk, bring in an in-office accountant, and ensure all decisions are boardapproved — no exceptions.
I see incredible potential for growth in our town, and I want to help guide that progress with integrity and community spirit. I’ll encourage everyone to attend monthly meetings, ask questions, and get involved. Whether you have concerns or just want to say hello, I’ll be here. When people come together with a shared purpose, amazing things can happen. Let’s build something great — together.

DIFFERENT GENERATIONS CAN LEARN AND BENEFIT FROM ONE ANOTHER
Practicing interpersonal skills: All the technological savviness in the world cannot compensate for the power of strong interpersonal skills. Being able to address a group of people or speak one-on-one is essential in the workplace and in life. When younger generations speak to older adults, they may become stronger at verbal discourse and have greater perspective of different points of conversation.
SENIOR NEWS LINE
By Matilda Charles
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!

Chikungunya Disease Leaves Woman in Immense Pain for Years
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.
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.
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.
An eco-friendly lifestyle is anything but selfless, as such a way of life can pay both immediate and long-term dividends, helping men and women in the present day while also contributing to healthier futures for generations to come.
As environmentalists and eco-friendly ordinary Joes no doubt already know, there are myriad ways to go green. Even mealtime at home can be made considerably more eco-friendly with relatively little effort.
Stop handwashing dishes. Men and women who dread having to hand wash their dishes after a nice meal have an ally in science. A study from researchers in Europe found that people who handwashed place settings for 12 people used as much as 27 gallons of water, while washing the same amount of place settings in a dishwasher required just four gallons of water. So instead of standing over a sink and washing dishes by hand each night, men and women can simply load up the dishwasher, making sure only to run it when it’s full so even less water is wasted.
Avoid the stove when possible. Empty nesters, couples without children or single men and women who want to save energy come mealtime can use toaster ovens in lieu of traditional stoves when preparing small meals. According to EnergyStar®, toaster ovens consume between onethird to one-half the amount of energy as conventional electric ovens when cooking small meals, making them a far more eco-friendly option for men and women accustomed who typically cook small meals for one or two people.
Shop with reusable shopping bags. Cooks know that great meals begin at the grocery store, so there’s no reason why eco-friendly cooking cannot begin there as well. Estimates suggest that as many as 100 billion plastic bags are used in the United States alone each year.
EnvironmentMassachusetts reports that such bags are used for an average of 12 minutes, even though their life expectancy is as high as 1,000 years. By relying on reusable cloth shopping bags instead of single-use plastic bags, shoppers can dramatically reduce the carbon footprint of cooking their own meals.
Recycle materials. Glass jars, plastic butter tubs, milk cartons, and other items necessary to prepare meals at home are all recyclable. Many local governments have weekly if not biweekly pickups of recyclable materials, making it easier than ever to ensure these items are given new life after beingused.Menandwomenwhoresideinareaswithoutsuchpickupscan go it alone, collecting recyclable materials and periodically transporting them to nearby recycling centers.
Mealtime provides a host of opportunities for eco-conscious men and women to embrace practices that protect the planet.

Celebrate Child Passenger Safety Week
BY BARBARA STURM, CORNELL COOPERATIVE EXTENSION LIVINGSTON, CCELIV TRAFFIC SAFETY PROGRAM EDUCATOR AND CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY TECHNICIAN INSTRUCTOR
Every year, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration celebrates Child Passenger Safety Week, a week focused on providing parents and caregivers with free instruction on how to correctly install and use the right car seats for their children.
Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians offered free car seat safety checks during that week, and technicians are available year-round. Certified Technicians help parents and caregivers determine the right seats for their children and demonstrate how to correctly install and use those seats.
Unfortunately, many parents are overconfident about their car seats. ey think they’re protecting their kids, but almost half of car seats are either the wrong seat for the child’s age and size, or the seats are installed incorrectly. at puts children at risk.
According to NHTSA, motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death for children. Every day in 2023, an average of two children under 14 were killed in crashes, and another

345 were injured in traffic crashes while riding in passenger vehicles.
We know parents love their kids, so they’ll do everything in their power to protect them. An easy way to do that is to double-check their car seats – it’s worth making sure.
When it comes to child passengers, there is a right seat for every age and developmental stage – from infants to teens. Whether it’s a rear-facing or forward-facing car seat, a booster seat, or a seat belt, a certified Child Passenger Safety Technician can put parents’ minds at ease by confirming which seat is correct for their children and showing them how to correctly install that seat in their vehicle.
Children should stay in each seat and position until they outgrow the height or weight limits for the car seat, and it’s crucial for all children under 13 to ride in the back seat.
If parents and caregivers would like to have their car seats checked, schedule an appointment with Cornell Cooperative Extension’s Livingston Traffic Safety Program by emailing trafficsafetycce@cornell.edu or calling 585-991-5432. Or stop by one of these affiliated Child Passenger Safety Seat Fitting Stations in Livingston County: Cuylerville Fire Department, Dansville Police Department, and at the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office.
Visit trafficsafety.ny.gov/training-and-events to find upcoming events in other New York State locations. NHTSA. gov also has free resources available to caregivers. Learn about the different car seat types, read NHTSA’s research-based recommendations, and find and compare car seats.
Parents and caregivers are encouraged to register car seats with the manufacturer so you can be notified in the event of a recall. You can also download NHTSA’s SaferCar app, which allows users to save your vehicle, car seat, and tire info in a virtual garage. If any of the saved equipment is included in a safety recall, the app will send a notification. For more information on child passenger safety, go to NHTSA.gov/therightseat

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.

Preowned Items Can Be Good For The Environment
Visit consignment stores: Consignment shops and Goodwill(R) stores are popular places to buy preowned items. These stores take donations or offer items for sale on consignment, which means once sold the person who provided the item gets a portion of the sale.
When browsing the racks of these stores, it’s possible to discover highend items mixed in with less expensive items. Shoppers may find designer handbags and clothing for much less than they would sell at retail, especially if the pieces are one or two seasons old. Relying on these stores to supplement classic wardrobe pieces is cost-effective and beneficial to the environment. If you regularly shop consignment stores, you can develop a rapport with the shopkeeper, who may alert you when new items are available.

Wayland: Frances Kay Florence Holley, 78 years of age, passed away early Monday afternoon, September 22, 2025 at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester.
Frances was born January 5, 1947 in Hornell, the daughter of Harley and Kay (Curry) Sanford. She grew up in Hornell and was a graduate of Hornell High School. Fran resided in several different local communities throughout the years including Hornell,Elmira,Cohocton for about 10 years and settled in Wayland in 1986. She resided in Wayland ever since. Fran worked at AB Cowles in Wayland as a production manager and later at Southco Inc. in Honeoye Falls.
Fran was an avid gardener whether the plants were indoors or outdoors. She enjoyed being called upon by her family to give advice about when to plant particular flowers and how to keep the plants alive! She was a huge Buffalo Bills fan. In her younger years she enjoyed being in a bowling league and painting ceramics with friends.
Fran was an especially proud grandmother and loved all of her grandchildren’s accomplishments. If she wasn’t asking about what they were up to she was telling her friends and family about their latest accomplishments. She loved to spend time with her five grandchildren. She had a playful sense of humor that came alive in their presence.
Fran was pre-deceased by her parents, Harley and Kay Sanford; her siblings and in-laws, Barkley Cunningham, Harley Sanford, Joann and Lyman Ross, Judy Guiradara. She is survived by her children, Jeffrey (Kelly) Holley of Livonia, Shane Holley of Port Orange, FL and Brooklin (David) Baumgartner of Rochester; her grandchildren, Brandon, Jordan, omas, Alison and Sam; her siblings and in-laws, Betty Cunningham, Maureen Sanford, Fran Guiradara, Philip and Eloise Sanford, Robert and Betty Sanford, Deborah and Douglas Edmond and Roy and Laurel Sanford; along with several nieces and nephews.
Fran’s family and friends did call Tuesday, September 30, 2025 from 5-7pm at St. George-Forsythe Funeral Home, 109 West Naples St., Wayland. Fran’s funeral service was held on Wednesday, October 1, 2025 at 10am at the funeral home.Committal prayers and interment took place immediately following at Wayland Village Cemetery.

UNDERSTANDING LIFE INSURANCE
When choosing coverage, you will no doubt be asked if you prefer term insurance or permanent insurance. Term insurance is the least expensive life insurance, and such policies only last for a predetermined number of years. Men and women may purchase life insurance policies if they only want life insurance until they retire or until their children reach adulthood. Permanent insurance is more expensive and will last from the moment you purchase the policy until your death. Many people choose permanent life insurance policies so the money their beneficiaries receive upon their death can be used to pay estate taxes. In addition, there is an investment component to permanent insurance policies, as a portion of the premiums on such policies is invested (policies will spell out how the money is invested) and allowed to grow tax-free so long as the policy is open. Term insurance only provides protection with no investments.

To make the amaretti base, finely crush the amaretti in a food processor or put them in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. Melt the butter and sugar in a pan over low heat, then stir in the amaretti crumbs. Press the mixture evenly over the base of the prepared cake pan and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
To make the cardamom truffle filling, put the cream and cardamom pods in a pan and heat until almost boiling. Remove from the heat and set aside to infuse for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, put the chocolate and butter in a saucepan. Strain the infused cream through a fine strainer onto the chocolate (the cream will be warm enough to melt the chocolate). If it doesn’t melt, warm over very low heat, stirring occasionally, but do not allow to boil. Stir in the liqueur, then set aside until almost cold, but not set. With an electric mixer, beat the chocolate mixture for a couple of minutes - this will give the cake a lovely airy texture. Pour onto the amaretti base. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or up to 48 hours before serving.
To make the cardamom cocoa sugar, remove the black seeds from the papery cardamom pods and put the seeds in a spice grinder with the sugar and cocoa. Grind to a powder. Carefully remove the cake from the pan and peel off the lining paper. Set on a chilled serving plate and sift the cardamom cocoa sugar evenly over the top. Serve immediately, cut into very thin slices.

STORING TOOLS PROPERLY REDUCES INJURY RISK AND PROMOTES ORGANIZATION
Whether homeowners have a handful of tools or an entire collection of equipment, proper storage of these items means the difference between staying organized and safe or having to waste time looking for tools and running the risk of injury.
Tools often gravitate to other rooms of the house or become misplaced. When they’re brought out for use, tools may not be returned to the toolbox or shed, taking up residence in drawers or closets or just being left out in the open.
Improper storage of tools also may create safety risks for the persons doing the renovation and other members of the household. The Consumer Product Safety Commission warns that hundreds of thousands of injuries treated at emergency rooms are related to power tools and workshop equipment. While the majority of these injuries occur while using the tools, improper tool storage can still cause injury.

WAYS TO MAKE HOMES SAFER
Improving traction around the house also can minimize falls. Throw rugs and runners can be made more secure with nonslip rubber backings. Bath rugs can reduce slipping on wet surfaces in the bathroom. Also, nonslip mats can be used inside of showers and bathtubs.
Use shoe trays to reduce puddling from melting snow or rain runoff in entryways. Mop up spills quickly, and consider the use of matteor textured-finished flooring to improve stability underfoot. Promptly remove snow and ice from driveways and walkways. For those who live in cold climates, heated concrete can help melt precipitation before it accumulates.

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
I’msurethousandsofyourreadershaveexperienced the following when calling their doctors’ offices. 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?

On the whole I take it that middle age is a happier period than youth. In the entire circle of the year there are no days so delightful as those of a fine October, when the trees are bare to the mild heavens, and the red leaves bestrew the road, and you can feel the breath of winter morning and evening—no days so calm, so tenderly solemn, and with such a reverent meekness in the air.

A new take on “spaghetti”
Spaghetti is a staple of many family dinner tables. But home cooks who want to veer away from traditional pasta without giving up their love of marinara can try the following, zucchini-inspired alternative to traditional spaghetti, “Z’paghetti Marinara with Shrimp,” courtesy of Lisa Lillien’s “Hungry Girl Clean & Hungry” (St. Martin’s Press).
Z’paghetti Marinara with Shrimp
Makes 2 servings
28 ounces (about 4 medium) zucchini
8 ounces (about 16) raw large shrimp, peeled, tails removed and deveined
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup marinara sauce
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1. Preheat the oven to 375 F. Lay a large piece of heavy-duty foil on a baking sheet and spray with nonstick spray.
2. Using a spiral vegetable slicer, cut zucchini into spaghetti-like noodles. (If you don’t have a spiral veggie slicer, peel zucchini into super-thin strips, rotating the zucchini after each strip.) Roughly chop for shorter noodles.
3. Place zucchini noodles in the center of the foil and top with shrimp. Sprinkle with seasonings. Top with marinara sauce and Parmesan.
4. Cover with another large piece of foil. Fold together and seal all four edges of the foil pieces, forming a well-sealed packet.
5. Bake for 25 minutes, or until zucchini noodles have softened and shrimp are fully cooked.
6. Cut packet to release hot steam before opening entirely.
7. Transfer packet contents to a large bowl, and toss to mix.

3 strategies that can lower breast cancer risk
Breast cancer affects millions of individuals each year. e World Cancer Research Fund International reports that breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women across the globe, affecting roughly 2.3 million women each year.
Despite the global prevalence of breast cancer, various organizations report high five-year survival rates, particularly among women whose cancers are detected in the earliest stages of the disease. In fact, a 2023 study published in the journal BMJ found that the risk for dying from breast cancer in the five years a er an early-stage diagnosis fell to 5 percent in recent years, a notable improvement from the 14 percent risk of death that was reported in the 1990s.
Increased survival rates for breast cancer are welcome news for women and their families. e higher survival rates are a byproduct of the tireless efforts of cancer researchers, who have also discovered links between the disease and certain lifestyle factors. ough there's no way to eliminate one's risk for breast cancer entirely, the American Cancer Society notes certain variables are within women's control. With that in mind, women can consider these three strategies that can lead to improved overall health and might help women lower their risk for breast cancer as well.
1.
Reach and maintain a healthy weight. e benefits of maintaining a healthy weight include a lower risk for heart disease and stroke, and women should know that weight and breast cancer risk are linked as well. According to the ACS, increased body weight and weight gain as an adult are linked to a higher risk of developing breast cancer. at’s particularly so among post-menopausal women. A 2023 study published in the journal BMC Women’s Health found that the chances of developing breast cancer increase among post-menopausal women who are obese.
2.
Avoid a sedentary lifestyle. Exercise is one of the ways to achieve and maintain a healthy weight, so it makes sense that being physically active can reduce breast cancer risk. e National Cancer Institute reports that a 2016 meta-analysis of 38 cohort studies found that the most physically active women had between a 12 and 21 percent lower risk for breast cancer than women who were the least physically active. e NCI also notes that additional studies have found that women who become more physically active a er menopause also have a lower risk for breast cancer than those who do not.
3.
Limit or eliminate alcohol consumption. e ACS urges women who drink to consume no more than one alcoholic drink per day, noting that consumption of even small amounts of alcohol have been linked to an increased risk for breast cancer. Officials with the MD Anderson Cancer Center note that the link between alcohol consumption and breast cancer risk is low. However, the MDACC notes that alcohol can contribute to unwanted weight gain, thus increasing cancer risk. In addition, alcohol can increase levels of estrogen and other hormones associated with breast cancer.
It may be impossible to completely prevent breast cancer. However, women can embrace strategies that improve their overall health in ways that lower their risk for breast cancer.

WORKING PARENTS CAN CREATE BETTER WORK-LIFE BALANCE
Request changes to work schedules. While technology may have largely eliminated the separation between the office and home, working parents can use that to their advantage by asking their employees to alter their work schedules. Telecommuting one or two days a week can help parents feel more connected to their families, while flex schedules can ensure working parents don’t miss any of their children’s dance recitals or weekday afternoon ballgames.

CONSERVE ENERGY AROUND THE OFFICE
Conservation methods can help save energy and preserve natural resources, but business owners may also be intrigued by the potential cost-savings of conservation.
Utility costs vary depending on the size of a business, but the U.S. Small Business Administration notes that prospective business owners must estimate and include such costs when seeking loans to start their businesses. Estimated utility costs can be intimidating, especially for those owners who have never before owned their own businesses. Traditional conservation methods like recycling and reusing are great ways to conserve and save around the office, but business owners also can embrace some other ways to lower their office energy costs while benefitting the planet at the same time.
