DID YOU KNOW?
When nurses go to work each day, many report to hospitals while others work at private practices. For others, a day at the office takes place at research labs. According to the online nursing resource Nurse.org, research nurses develop and implement studies to investigate and provide information on new medications, vaccinations and medical procedures. Research nurses, sometimes referred to as clinical nurse researchers or nurse researchers, typically have advanced degrees, and many first work as research assistants, clinical data collectors and/or clinical research monitors to gain some practical experience as they pursue or consider pursuing their degrees. Some research nurses even conduct independent research, though Nurse.org notes that such professionals need advanced degrees such as an MSN or Ph.D. to pursue such a path. More information about becoming a research nurse can be found at www.Nurse.org.

Cats are stealth and lovable but somewhat unpredictable. Ancient Egyptians revered cats for their companionship and ability to keep dangerous creatures such as poisonous snakes, rats and scorpions at bay. The Egyptians were among the first peoples to domesticate cats, and now thousands upon thousands of people share their homes with feline companions.

COWS REMEMBER FACES
It’s true, cows have great memories. Farmers have long noted how their dairy cows can recognize and respond to familiar people. Some cows even form strong bonds with their handlers, greeting them with a gentle nudge or low call. They may be large animals, but they’re full of gentle intelligence.

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.
HOW PARENTS CAN SIMPLIFY STUDENTS’ TRANSITION TO COLLEGE LIFE
Let kids handle more standard responsibilities. Adults tend to take more mundane responsibilities like making doctor’s appointments or grocery shopping for granted. But kids likely have no idea how to handle such tasks. Parents can encourage their high school seniors to make their own medical appointments. In addition, take kids along on grocery shopping trips, explaining how to find sale items and which foods to buy and which toavoid.Nutritionisnotalwaysforemostonthemindsofcollegefreshmen, but those who understand the importance of healthy diets are more likely to buy nutritious meals than junk food.

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.
Wear breathable fabrics. Opt for lightweight fabrics instead of heavy gowns and full tuxedos for the bride, groom and wedding party. Cotton and linen allow air to flow through clothing, helping people to stay cool. Light colors also will help deflect the sun. Bridal gowns made of chiffon, silk or satin may feel luxurious and help tame the heat.
From party invitations to business cards to grad announcements, we design and print everything with you in
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
2025 Avon Corn Festival
BY ROBERT MELLEN
“As the Avon Rotary Club’s largest fundraiser, all of the club’s proceeds from this event are invested directly back into supporting many great causes in the community.”
COLLIN HAYES
For 36 years the small town of Avon has generated excitement across Western New York by celebrating its heritagewithanannualCornFestival.
Offering over 145 arts and cra s vendors, live music all day long on two stages, a beer tent, a feast of food trucks and games, the 37th annual free street fair on Aug. 9 is fun for everyone. Sponsored by Avon Rotary, the festival’s main attraction is the arts and cra s vendors.
Rotarian Josh Tonra said, “We are really excited about this year’s arts and cra s vendors. Last year, we had the largest number of vendors in our history and we are on pace to break that record again, making this year’s Corn Fest one of our best ever.”
Among the many tents lining both sides of the street, it’s easy to find practically every kind of item a cra fair can offer, including jewelry, dog and cat gi s, needle arts, home decor, clothing, Christmas items, resin art, fiber art, wood carvings, honey, Mexican cra s, wine, pottery, sunflowers, and more, seemingly without end.
In addition to vendors, there is much more, starting with nonstop music on two stages. e ever-popular Skycoasters headline the lineup, scheduled to play a free three-hour concert at 7:30 p.m. Preceding them during the day will be a variety of performers with a wide-ranging repertoire, starting with Your American Jukebox Big Band at 10 a.m. followed by Public Water Supply at 1 p.m. and Bob’s Brothers Band at 3 p.m.
As if that weren’t enough, blues musician Chris Beard will complicate your choices by performing on a second stage at 3 p.m. You also can dance to the music of e GateSwingers, who play big-band classics and fresh arrangements featuring two singers. So, big bands, indie/ alt rock, soul/funk, classic rock, blues – something for practically everyone.
Even if music is not your pleasure, this year both the Avon Community eater and the Geneseo Community Players plan surprise performances onthenewlyrenovatedstageatoptheOperaBlock.
When all the walking around causes hunger pangs, the Corn Festival has solutions, primarily in the food court, packed with a wide array of food trucks, including such favorites as Philly cheese steaks, grilled cheese sandwiches, Korean fusion BBQ, loaded baked potatoes, beef on wick, and festival chairman Collin Hayes says, “Of course visit the Avon Rotary Corn Booth for our famous corn fritters and fresh sweet corn and salt potatoes from J&A Farm Market. Adults can also relax at the beer tent with cra beverages from Watershed Brewery.”
Looking for fun for the little ones? No worries. Rotarian Karen Vanderbilt says, “Our Kids Zone will keep them entertained. Let them bounce to their heart’s content in our awesome bounce house and explore in our corn crawl. Best of all, every bit of fun supports our Interact Club’s initiatives.” Interact’s purpose is “to provide opportunity for young people to develop leadership skills while discovering the power of service above self.”

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.

I live in [local town] on a side street. The complex behind me thinks it’s okay to use my driveway and lawn to cut through to their apartment. If that isn’t bad enough, dropping trash along the way. Then it’s all hours of the day and night. I hear their convos on phone with each other and their loud music. If you live in [town] please think of your neighbors.

More money kept in the community. Shopping locally means that more money will stay in the community. According to recent research from Civic Economics, local eateries return nearly 79 percent of revenue to the community,compared to just over 30 percent for chain restaurants. Overall, for every $100 spent at a local business, around $73 remains in the community, verus roughly $43 when shopping at a non-locally owned business.
Foods at farmers’ markets tend to be limited to in-season offerings. Some nutritionists suggest eating seasonally available foods is better for your body, because humans ate seasonal produce for thousands of years before shipping and refrigeration changed how people received the majority of their foods. In addition, many people feel that fresh, seasonal foods taste better than the alternatives.

(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!

Q. A.
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.

DID YOU KNOW? The demand for qualified,talented nurses figures to grow in the years to come.According to the U.S.Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than half a million nurses are expected to retire by 2022. Couple that with an existing nursing shortage, and the BLS projects a need for 1.1 million registered nurses in the near future. A shortage also figures to affect Canada, where the Canadian Nurses Association recently estimated that the country would be forced to confront a nursing shortage of roughly 60,000 nurses by 2022. Various factors are contributing to the nursing shortage in both countries, including an increasingly large aging population that will require more and more nurses to meet its health care needs.In the United States,the Affordable Care Act,which was passed in 2010, increased access to health care for millions of people across the country, thereby creating a greater need for nurses and other health care professionals. In addition, a greater emphasis on preventive care in many countries across the globe figures to compel more people to visit their physicians even when they’re otherwise feeling healthy. As more people prioritize preventive care, the need for more nurses will likely increase.

Why mulch?
Mulching can benefit plants around a property in various ways. Many people lay mulch because the mulch helps soil retain moisture in the summer, when temperatures tend to be at their hottest. This can help plants survive summer heat waves.
Mulch also can be used to suppress weeds. Weeds, which steal moisture plants need to build strong roots and survive summer, need light to grow. When laid correctly, mulch deprives weeds of the light they need to grow. Organic mulches can even provide homes for crickets and a type of beetle that feed on weed seeds.
Mulch also can deter harmful pests depending on the type of mulch homeowners choose. When purchasing mulch, homeowners will have to choose between the aforementioned organic mulch or man-made mulches, which may be made of plastic or rubber. While man-made mulches may repel pests, they also can have adverse effects. Plastic, for example, can heat up in the summer and cause plants to burn. Certain organic mulches can repel insects that can threaten plants. That’s because the majority of organic mulches increase the amount of beneficial bacteria in the soil, and they also increase the presence of helpful insects that do not pose a threat to plant life. Those helpful insects help keep harmful insects at bay. Compost is a type of organic mulch that may attract harmful insects. While that does not mean homeowners should shy away from using compost as mulch, they should know that they may need to employ organic insecticides to combat their unwanted guests.

Cutworms: The lawn care experts at Scotts® note that cutworms are moth larvae that hide in the thatch layer of a lawn during the day before emerging at night to feed on grass blades. Patches of brown grass between one and two inches in width is a sign of cutworm infestation. Homeowners who notice a growing number of birds pecking away in their lawns may have a cutworm infestation, which can be confirmed by peeling up a section of damaged grass and looking for cutworms, which are brown, gray or black and tend to be around two inches long.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, well-designed landscapescansavehomeowners enough energy to make the projectspayforthemselvesinless than eight years. The DOE notes that homeowners’ landscaping strategies should be dictated by the climates in which they live. For example, homeowners who live in hot, arid regions should employ landscapes to shade their homes’ walls, windows and roof, while those who live in cool regions should make sure their landscapes are not blocking the winter sun from reaching their homes’ south-facing windows. TheDOEalsoadvisesthatshading is the most cost-effective way to reduce solar heat gain in a home, noting that well-planned landscapescanreducepreviously unshaded homes’ air conditioning costs by as much as 50 percent. The DOE also notes that, in treeshaded neighborhoods, summer daytime air temperature can be up to six degrees cooler than the air temperature in treeless areas. Homeowners considering adding trees to their landscapes should know that deciduous trees shed their leaves annually, which means they will block solar heat in the summer but allow sunlight into the home in winter. That’s ideal for homeowners who live in regions where temperatures climb in summertimebutdropconsiderably in winter. Homeowners who want year-round shade might consider evergreen trees and shrubs.

USE LESS ENERGY WHEN THE WEATHER WARMS
Invest in ceiling fans, which can move air through the home. This will help prevent pockets of hot air in certain spaces. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, even in homes with air conditioning, ceiling fans enable homeowners to raise the thermostats on their AC units by about 4 F with no reduction in comfort. Attic fans can draw heat out of a home through vents, also helping to reduce indoor air temperatures. These devices can reduce reliance on air conditioners, especially on moderate days or cool nights.
A ROOF NEEDS REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT
Roof age: Theageof theroof isamajorfactorindeterminingif itwillneedtobereplaced or if repairs can be made to isolated damage. Individuals who live in neighborhoods where neighbors are now replacing roofs will likely find it is time to consult a roofing company. Homeowners also can check to see if they have any receipts that indicate the roof’s installation date so they have an idea about its age.
BUDGET-FRIENDLY WAYS TO UPGRADE A LANDSCAPE Plant to create privacy. Homeowners spent more time at home than ever before during the pandemic, and some might have grown tired of seeing what their neighbors are up to. Fencing might be the first solution homeowners consider when looking to make their landscapes more private. But new fencing installation can be expensive, costing homeowners between $1,667 and $4,075 on average, according to BobVila.com. A more costly and natural solution is to plant trees around the perimeter. Speak with a local landscaping professional, who can survey the property to see which trees might thrive and provide the privacy homeowners want.

Peaceful Backyard Retreat
Backyards have become valuable spaces that enhance both home value and quality of life. Features like outdoor kitchens, TVs, and showers can increase a home’s market value by 3.1%, but the real benefits come from creating a peaceful retreat. To start, refresh the landscape by trimming overgrown trees and hedges to improve flow, and aim for a balance of sun and shade. Consider adding multiple gathering areas, such as an outdoor kitchen and a quiet reading nook, for versatility.
For added relaxation, include a water feature like a fountain or hot tub, which helps calm the mind. Ensure comfort with shaded areas—install pergolas, umbrellas, or plant shade trees to protect from the sun. With these quick tips, you can create a functional, peaceful backyard retreat that everyone will enjoy.

1 teaspoon baking soda

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!
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.

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
Preplanning protects families faced with sudden death. 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
For a short scenic loop, take Lake Street around Silver Lake starting in Perry. It’s especially pretty in the early evening as the sun reflects off the water.There are places to pull off, grab ice cream, or watch the boats go by. It’s one of those local treasures that feels like a vacation.

(Family Features) Here are three things you can do to help protect your mobile devices and your identity: Password protect your device. A recent study by Javelin Strategy and Research found that even though many smartphones are being used to handle sensitive financial information, only 33 percent of smartphone owners password-protect their devices. If your phone falls into the wrong hands, you could make it very easy for someone to access your personal information and steal your identity.
Review your social network privacy settings. It’s not just advertisers taking advantage of the personal information you include on your social network sites. As the use of social networking continues to increase, it’s expected that the use of malware will rise, too. Cybercriminals are always looking for ways to steal information and money. So you need to review your privacy settings frequently, be careful of what apps you install, and never “friend” someone you don’t know.
Consider getting extra protection. There are a growing number of tools available to help you monitor and protect your identity as well as restore your name and credit, should your identity get stolen. For example, Mobile Rhino is a specialty insurance program that not only insures your device, but also offers an Identity Monitoring Service that alerts you of any changes that could indicate someone else is using your information.
