Map out your sales. Look at advertisements and plot which sales you plan to visit. If you have specific items in mind to buy, you may have to visit several sales before you find what you need.
While many people visit yard sales looking for antiques or other unique items that likely can’t be found at traditional retailers, yard sale shoppers should know that their efforts can be great for the environment. Shoppers can browse through gently used items that no longer serve utility for the seller but may be just what buyers are looking for. Rather than throwing out belongings that get little use, people who organize a sale are reducing their contributions to nearby landfills.
When did we own a pickup truck? Recently, we placed old material and debris curbside for our municipal “Clean Up Day”. Upon the next day, we discovered four (4) pickup truck tires added curbside. We do not own a truck! Ugh!
The May 23rd article about the Vietnam Veterans Memorial at Highland Park was excellent. Thank you for sharing it with your readers. I hope it inspires those who have never been there to visit it. We owe a debt of gratitude to those who serve in our military, especially those who paid the ultimate price with their lives.
Memorial Day ank You
We extend our heartfelt thanks to our local towns for their meaningful and moving Memorial Day tributes. Your efforts to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country remind us all of the true significance of this day.
Gas Prices
It seems [local town] gas stations now have the highest price per gallon than any surrounding town. I just drove around [local town], [local town], [local town] and they all have lower prices. How is this possible? I can’t possibly figure it out, what a conundrum... I wonder what NYS would have to say about this?

TIRES: ROTATE AND RELAX
Most car owners know to check tire pressure, but rotating your tires every 5,000–7,000 miles ensures more even wear, a smoother ride, and longer life for all four. It’s a simple thing that’s often forgotten and in the summer, with more driving and warmer pavement, it’s especially important.

Preheat the oven to 350° F and get 12 cupcake liners ready. Beat the butter with the sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, self-raising flour and lemon zest and mix until combined. Spoon the mix evenly into the cupcake liners and bake for 18-22 minutes until they are baked through and springy to the touch.
Mix together the lemon juice and sugar for the drizzle in a bowl. Once the cupcakes are out of the oven, carefully spoon the drizzle over the cupcakes, then leave them to cool fully on a wire rack while you make the buttercream.
Beat the butter until smooth; this can take a couple of minutes. Add the powdered sugar in two batches, beating well after each addition, then add the lemon juice and beat again.
Pipe or spread the buttercream onto your cupcakes, then sprinkle each one with some sprinkles and lemon zest.

GREAT WEEKEND GETAWAY IDEAS
Hit the slopes (seriously). Skiing might be the furthest thing on people’s minds in summer. However, skiing hotspots can make for the ideal summer getaways for individuals looking for a quiet respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Instead of traversing slopes on skis, visitors can hike their way through the mountains before retiring to their resort for a more laid back evening of relaxation.

Remembering the sacrifices of war dogs
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: This Memorial Day, I hope you can call attention to the sacrifices made by war dogs, who have served side by side with American troops for over 100 years, taking on missions that their human counterparts could never do so well. Many gave their lives protecting others.
-- Charles B., via email
DEAR CHARLES: Absolutely. Military working dogs, often called “war dogs,” are an essential part of America’s armed forces. They provide security around the world and are trained for specialized missions like drugs and explosives detection, sentry duty, scouting, and search and rescue. Military working dogs are even part of special forces units. Over the past century, war dogs have played essential roles. In the past,German Shepherds were the primary breed used as military working dogs. Recently, the armed services have shifted to slightly smaller breeds. The Belgian Malinois is the preferred breed for military working dogs today.
Sadly, during the Vietnam War, thousands of military working dogs overseas were euthanized or abandoned when their service was done. In 2000, President Clinton signed a law that allowed war dogs to be adopted once their service was over.
More than 400 military working dogs have been killed in action since World War II. It’s estimated that they have saved over 10,000 lives. Today, a War Dog memorial stands in Bristol Township, Pennsylvania, to call attention to these selfless heroes, as well as a War Dog statue outside the Airborne & Special Operations Museum in Fayetteville, North Carolina.
As we remember the sacrifices of American troops this Memorial Day, I hope you’ll all take a moment to remember the loyal, highly trained working dogs who gave their all to keep their comrades in arms safe from harm.
The US Social Security system formally began as we know it in 1935, with precursing Civil War and company pensions to take care of aging and disabled employees. With an aging population and fewer people working to pay into the system, polls show people overwhelmingly oppose cutting SS benefits. What should be done to solve the looming crisis as funds to pay these benefits diminish?
- Raise tax rates to cover benefits
- Raise the retirement age
- Reduce benefits paid out
- Reconsider the whole system

AVOID ACHES AND PAINS WHEN GARDENING
Take frequent breaks. Frequent breaks can help combat the stiffness and muscle aches that may not appear until gardeners finish their gardening sessions. Breaks help to alleviate muscles or joints that can become overtaxed when gardening for long, uninterrupted periods of time. When leaning down or working on your hands and knees, stand up to take breaks every 20 minutes or the moment aches and pains start to make their presence felt.
HOW EVERYDAY PEOPLE CAN CUT ENERGY CONSUMPTION
Curtailing energy consumption is a great way for people to protect the planet’s natural resources and save money at the same time.
Part of the difficulty with regard to reducing energy consumption is that energy plays such a big role in our lives. Smartphones and tablets have become must-have items, and these items, though not necessarily big consumers of energy, must be plugged in and charged. But individuals won’t have to unplug from their lives to reduce their energy consumption. In fact, there are several easy, non-invasive ways for everyday people to reduce their energy consumption.
Reducing energy consumption does not require substantial sacrifice, but it can produce substantial savings and benefit the planet in myriad ways.

Soundproof Your Home
What’s the first step in sound proofing your home? Finding which rooms have the least amount of sound resistance.
To do this, make sure everyone is out of the house, unplug all electronics and close all doors and windows. Take a quick walk through your house and pause for a few moments in each room to evaluate which ones are the noisiest. Now consider if you’re installing a media room or teenage recreational room where volumes will be blasting on TV’s and stereos. With this information, you should have a good idea of where you need to soundproof and create barriers against noise. Here are some tips to help you achieve the optimal result of peace and quiet:
• Plant trees and hedges along the exterior of your home, perhaps along a fence. Not only do trees and hedges help with the environment and provide a good amount of privacy, they also slow down the travel of noise from the neighborhood into your home.
• Insulate your walls and ceilings. Better insulation in your interiors and exteriors won’t just drive away
noise, it will also reduce your heating and
months.
• Seal up all cracks and holes around

POST-WINTER GARDEN
plant location. If plants,
or gardens have struggled in recent years or never grew especially vibrant, then gardeners may want to assess the location of their plant life before spring gardening season begins. Some plants may not be getting enough sunlight in certain locations on a property, while others might be overexposed to the sun during spring and summer. Moving plants that are not thriving prior to the start of spring gardening season may be just what gardens need to flourish in the coming weeks.
POST-WINTER GARDEN PREP
Check for pests. Speak with a local gardening
to determine if there are any local pests to look out for and how to recognize and remove these pets from gardens. Pests may hibernate in the soil over the winter, and such unwelcome visitors can make it difficult for gardens to thrive come spring and summer.
PLUMBING
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. Assign an outside meeting place, so you can quickly locate each other
THE PEACE THAT PASSES UNDERSTANDING:
A Pilgrimage to the Abbey of the Genesee
ome places live in you long before you ever visit them. For me, the Abbey of the Genesee was one such place. Its presence was first made known to me not by a map, but by a book – omas Merton’s spiritual autobiography e Seven Storey Mountain As a college student navigating my own questions of faith, purpose, and identity, Merton’s words served as both compass and companion. What I was converting from – and to – was never exactly clear, but his restless seeking gave voice to my own
Merton struck me as a man of profound honesty, aching to know the Truth not as a concept but as a lived reality. He wasn’t performing religion; he was embodying it. “We are not at peace with others because we are not at peace with ourselves,” he once wrote,“andwearenotatpeacewithourselvesbecause we are not at peace with God.” In his struggle, I felt seen. In his silence, I felt spoken to.
Years later, I made my first trip to the Abbey of the Genesee, tucked in the hills of Piffard, just west of Geneseo. ough Merton himself spent only a short time at nearby St. Bonaventure University, the spiritual lineage feels alive here, echoing through the stillnessofthegrounds.Fromthemomentyouarrive, something ancient and tender seems to envelop you.
“Silence is not something that simply happens. Silence is something that one cultivates... it is a positive, vibrant presence.”
THOMAS MERTON
e statue of the Madonna at the entrance welcomes like an embrace; the pond glimmers with simplicity. Inside the sanctuary, monks sit in silent prayer, and you feel it – the hush, the incense, the light filtering through stained glass. A peace that passes all understanding.
e Abbey of the Genesee was founded in 1951 by monks from the Abbey of Gethsemani, where Merton spent most of his monastic life. It belongs to the Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance, better known as Trappists. Known for their simplicity, discipline, and contemplative focus, these monks rise before dawn, devote themselves to prayer, work, and silence, and support their community largely through the now-famous Monks’ Bread, baked on the premises.
is rhythm of life – prayer, work, rest, community, service – feels like a gentle rebuke to our overstimulated, disembodied modern existence. No televisions. No computers. No frantic rush. e structure itself seems designed to heal what is so fractured in us.
As I walked the grounds, I realized the paradox: I know in my heart that this lifestyle would make my soul happy. And yet, I have never believed I could follow Merton’s booksteps into a monastery. I could not take a vow of silence or give up the world I am part of. Still, I cannot deny that this life speaks to something deep in me.
“Silence is not something that simply happens,” Merton wrote in oughts in Solitude. “Silence is something that one cultivates... it is a positive, vibrant presence.” at presence of attention, of intention, saturates the Abbey. It reminds us that silence is not withdrawal, but the presence of a higher order.
Some might say these monks are hiding from the problems of the world. But to me, they are engaging with it in the most radical of ways. ey are not escaping the darkness – they are refusing to become it. ey resist not with anger, but with rhythm. With bread. With song. With a gaze that sees the sacred in the everyday. ey show us how to live without excess, without distraction,

without the relentless noise of modern life. ey practice a kind of nonviolent spiritual resistance, one grounded in loving kindness and radical acceptance.
Merton, again, offers insight: “ e monastery is not an escape from the world. It is a place where the world is brought into focus.” at clarity, that commitment to live differently, to pray through the pain of the world rather than add to it, that is what struck me most.
And so each day, these monks sit in prayer, they are not idle. ey are resisting. Each loaf of bread they bake is a blessing. Each moment of silence is a word of peace. Merton says, “ e beginning of love is the will to let those we love be perfectly themselves.” In a world constantly telling us to become something else, the Abbey stands as a gentle, stable witness: here, you are already enough.
“We are not at peace with ourselves because we are not at peace with God.”

By Keith Roach, M.D.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I see screening tests advertised often. For $160, I can get screened for conditions that might cause strokes, heart disease, aneurysms, etc. My partner and I are in our early and mid60s. Should we get these done? -- K.S.
ANSWER: Sometimes screening tests make a great deal of sense; other times they don’t. It all depends on how likely it is that a person would have the condition in question. For example, screening for an aneurysm of the aorta has been proven to save lives in men between 65-75 with any history of smoking. It can also be considered in other people, especially if there is a family history of an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
On the other hand, many stand-alone screening centers offer ultrasound evaluations of the carotid arteries in the neck, but expert groups such as the United States Preventive Services Task Force recommend against it in people without symptoms. They have concluded that screening for blockages of the carotid arteries in people without symptoms is more likely to result in harm than benefit. The main harm comes from false-positive ultrasounds, which must often be confirmed by an angiogram.About 1% of people get a stroke during an angiogram, which is more than the expected benefit of finding and treating blockages in a person with no symptoms. Some people would be helped by screenings, but more people are expected to be harmed.
I have also seen an unfortunate lack of timely follow-ups. I had a family member get a screening done, and shortly after he died of a heart attack, a letter came from the center saying that he should follow up with a cardiologist.
In my opinion, screening tests should be decided on by your doctor, who knows your medical history. I don’t recommend going to places that just do screening, even if the price (in money) is affordable.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am an 81-year-old man in fairly good health, I think, except for osteoporosis. Three years ago, I had a very weak pulse rate and was hospitalized. My wife thought I was having a stroke. The cardiologist had a pacemaker implanted, and I’ve been good since.
But two months ago, the cardiologist listened to my chest and said I had a murmur, a word I didn’t know. She also said “sinuses” and “plaque” and “valve.” She ordered an echocardiogram, which I’ve had, but don’t know the results of yet. Am I in danger? If so, how much? -- W.C.G.
Oksana Zubrzycka Optometrist
ANSWER: By now, I hope and expect that your cardiologist will have told you not to worry. A “murmur” is just a sound that doctors can hear from the heart, which sometimes means that there is damage to one of the four valves of the heart. Guessing by the terms she used, I think your cardiologist is concerned that you may have calcium (“plaque”) in the aortic valve, which is supported by the sinuses of Valsalva in the aortic root. Calcium in the aortic valve by itself may not cause problems, but it can keep the valve from being able to open all the way -- a condition called aortic stenosis. It isn’t always easy to hear the difference between aortic valve calcification and aortic stenosis, but an echocardiogram gives a very accurate measurement of the aortic valve opening.
If you have aortic stenosis, she will discuss your options, which may include surgery if it is severe. However, if you have the more common calcification without stenosis, she will make sure that your blood pressure and cholesterol levels are controlled and will likely redo the echo in a few years.

TIPS FOR STAYING SAFE AND CONNECTED DURING A MOVE
(NAPSI) — Planning a move can be stressful, but planning a move in the midst of an unprecedented pandemic brings a new set of challenges. Stay safe and connected with some smart pre-move planning; here are some tips:
Follow Approved Protocols — If you can’t postpone your move, take extra precautions before moving in to ensure your new place is clean. Follow general disinfecting guidelines set forth by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Among other surfaces, disinfect doors, door handles, bathrooms, kitchen appliances, countertops and—something many people don’t really think about—cabinet and doorknobs as well as light switches.
Safely Stay Connected — New work-from-home protocols and online schooling mean reliable Internet connectivity is more important than ever. Prior to your move, SmartMove can connect you to your local provider and help arrange new Touchless Installs that let you safely connect your tech services yourself. Cable companies deliver equipment with step-by-step activation information so you can set up your system on your own, or with support over the phone, online, through chat functionality or video tutorials. In most cases, no technician will need to enter your home.
Keep in Touch & Maintain Daily Routines — You may be staying in more, but don’t forget to take a break from unpacking boxes. Use your new online connection to find delivery services to help stock your pantry and fridge and refill prescriptions. Your new house will feel more like home if you take time to watch your favorite shows, maintain your exercise program or explore online courses that can help you discover new talents or resume old hobbies. Don’t forget to connect with friends through group video chats or viewing parties—you can even take your friends and family on a virtual tour of your new place!

Philip
E. Richardson May 17, 2025
Philip E. Richardson, 95, of Akron, passed away peacefully on Saturday, May 17, 2025, at home surrounded by his loving family.
He was born September 30, 1929 in Sodus, NY, a son of the late Claude and Evelyn Jacot Richardson. Philip was drawn to a neighboring farm at a very young age so when his own family moved to Geneseo he stayed in Lyons with that farm family until he was in eighth grade. It was on that farm in those early years where his interest in agriculture was cultivated and it lasted a lifetime. He was a graduate of Geneseo High School and continued his agriculture studies at Alfred State, working his way through college in a program requiring work study on farms between semesters. One of those farms was in Town Line, NY, where he met his future wife at a local square dance. He and Arlene Aldinger would marry in June 1954, a er which he was dra ed into the US Army. Upon his return from service in Germany in 1956, they would have an opportunity to purchase their own farm from the Nice family on South Newstead Road in Akron. It was on this land that Philip and Arlene would develop Ja-Rich Farm.
Philip was a progressive farmer, embracing new technology and improvements, including building one of the first milking parlors in the county and investing in registered Holstein cattle to improve the genetics of their herd. Ja-Rich Farm was recognized many times throughout the years for the herds’ accomplishments.
Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day... unseen, unheard, but always near; still loved, still missed and very dear.
He and Arlene were very involved in the community. He was a member of the Akron First United Methodist Church, NY Farm Bureau, NY Holstein Association. He served on the Bank of Akron Board of Directors, Erie County Fair Board and Erie County Farm Service Agency Committee and he was a former 4-H leader.
He is survived by his wife of 70 years, Arlene Aldinger Richardson of Akron; son, James Richardson of Akron; daughter, Janice (John) Barrett of Avon; grandchildren, Grace (Carl) Richardson-Hume, Janey (Kevin) Keenan, and Jolene (Sam) Rugg; great-grandchildren, Madelynn and Kellen Keenan, Eve Richardson and Nora Rugg; siblings, Betty Lou Barber, Gail (Tom) Walder and Judy Richardson. Nieces and nephews also survive.
He was predeceased by a daughter, Jane Tschachtli, grandson-in-law, Steven Richardson and seven brothers and sisters.
Family and friends are invited to share in a Memorial Service on Saturday, May 31st, 11:00 am at the Akron First United Methodist Church, 7 Church Street, Akron, NY. A time to visit with family and share of memories will follow the service in the church fellowship hall. Memorial contributions in his name may be offered to Buffalo Hospice or the Akron First United Methodist Church. Expressions of sympathy may be shared with the family at www.mcandrewfuneralhomes.net.

SENIOR NEWS LINE
By Matilda Charles
Tuning out the news
Today marks seven days since I’ve watched the television news. For a news junkie, that’s a very long time. But I feel much better for having taken a break.
It can’t be good for us, either mentally or physically, to be constantly bombarded with information that causes stress and likely has a health impact in the form of higher blood pressure.
The chronic chaos shown to us on television news even impacts us socially when we don’t know anymore what the safe topics are, and sometimes we just give up and don’t talk much at all when we’re with others. Gone is the spontaneity (and the joy) we once felt, and we eventually stop socializing altogether because of the additional stress it brings when in the company of others who insist on talking about negative news topics.
The news comes at us from several directions: the computer, the television, our cellphones. Add to that the stream of breaking news alerts either on the television or notifications chiming on our phones, and we just don’t get away from it.
Before I could go cold turkey and avoid the news, I knew I’d have to keep up with weather. In my area it’s safer to know what’s coming. To stay ahead of possible bad weather I use the Weather Channel on TV and Wunderground (www.wunderground.com) on the computer.
Not that I can do this indefinitely, of course, avoiding the news. At some point I’m going to have to check back in with the rest of the world. But it’s been a relief not to be bombarded with constant chaos, hysteria, sensational crawlers on the screen and differing viewpoints about world events.
I invite you to try it for yourself, even if it’s just for a few days.You’ll feel better.

HOW TO ACCOUNT FOR A RISING COST OF LIVING
Look for a new job or fresh income streams. A rising cost of living is a concern for people from all walks of life, but it may be especially concerning for retirees or individuals with costs like childcare that can be hard to pare back. In such instances, individuals can look for new a job or fresh income streams. According to the Q3 2021 CNBC | Momentive Small Business Survey, 50 percent of small business owners say it’s gotten harder to find qualified people to hire compared to a year ago. And nearly one-third of survey respondents indicate they have open roles they have not been able to fill for at least three months. Individuals can explore local employment opportunities in an effort to find a new, more lucrative job that can help them combat a rising cost of living. Others who want to remain in their jobs can look for part-time work to supplement their existing income.
