BACKROADS & BIG VIEWS: THE GROVELAND TO NUNDA STRETCH
If you haven’t taken the drive from Groveland to Nunda via Route 408, you’re missing one of the Genesee Valley’s hidden gems. The road winds through lush fields and gentle hills with long views of the valley that open up dramatically around the Keshequa Creek area. It’s an ideal early-morning or sunset drive. For a perfect day trip, end with a stop at Letchworth State Park’s north entrance—it’s just minutes away and pairs perfectly with a scenic cruise.
PREPARE VEHICLES FOR HARSH WEATHER
As the seasons change, motorists must take steps to safeguard their vehicles, especially when the season changes from fall to winter. Each winter, many vehicles are subjected to sub-zero temperatures, snowfall and icy roads, and such conditions can take their toll on vehicles over time. Taking steps to prepare vehicles for winter weather is a vital step that can make cars and trucks safer for drivers and their passengers.
Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability. ~Sam Keen

Magnificent Autumn! He comes not like a pilgrim, clad in russet weeds. He comes not like a hermit, clad in gray. But he comes like a warrior, with the stain of blood upon his brazen mail. His crimson scarf is rent.... The wind.... wafts to us the odor of forest leaves, that hang wilted on the dripping branches, or drop into the stream. Their gorgeous tints are gone, as if the autumnal rains had washed them out. Orange, yellow, and scarlet, all are changed to one melancholy russet hue.... There is a melancholy and continual roar in the tops of the tall pines.... It is the funeral anthem of the dying year.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

DID YOU KNOW? Leisure activities may be widely viewed as fun ways to fill up free time, but the benefits of leisure activities extend beyond beating boredom. A 2011 analysis published in the journal BBA Molecular Basis of Disease found that leisure activities have a positive impact on cognitive function and dementia. The analysis, conducted by researchers with the Aging Research Center in Stockholm who examined various studies regarding the relationship between certain activities and cognitive function, defined leisure activity as the voluntary use of free time for activities outside the home. After retirement, leisure time constitutes a large part of many retirees’ lives, and finding ways to fill that time is more beneficial than merely avoiding boredom. The researchers behind the study concluded that the existing research is insufficient to draw any firm conclusions regarding the effects of certain types of leisure activities on the risk for dementia and cognitive decline, though they did note that multi-domain cognitive training has the potential to improve cognitive function in healthy older adults and slow decline in affected individuals. A multi-domain approach to cognitive training involves memory, reasoning, problem-solving, and map reading, among other activities. Aging adults who embrace activities that require the use of such skills may find that they’re not only finding stimulating ways to fill their free time, but increasing their chances of long-term cognitive health as well.

The Season was waning to its close. The gardens showed but little of the ravages of autumn as yet. The noble avenues of trees were still in their glory of fulness and expansive verdure; although here and there a few fallen leaves seemed to have fluttered down to earth as premature heralds of decay. The later flowers were gorgeous in their many-coloured splendour, though their earlier sisters had already lived the best of their lives, and now drooped their heads, as if to hide their blighted charms.

HARDSCAPE AND HOW TO USE IT
Think about the purpose. Hardscaping can look good but also serve key purposes. Pebbles or gravel can mitigate trouble areas that don’t grow grass or plant life well. Retaining walls hold back soil in yards with sharply inclined hills. Mulch can set perimeters around trees and shrubs, as well as planting beds. Fencing, another form of hardscaping, is essential for establishing property boundaries and adding privacy.

HOW COUPLES CAN BENEFIT FROM HIRING LOCAL WEDDING VENDORS: Individuals who take great strides to conserve resources by reducing their energy consumption and protecting the environment often find that shopping local is beneficial. Local vendors are more likely to source their materials from other local businesses, reducing their carbon footprints along the way. For example, local caterers may rely on local farmers for their foods, affording couples the chance to host eco-friendly or even farm-to-table weddings.
Karen Kinter
LIFE ROOTED IN ALBION , A HEART FOR COMMUNITY
BY SUZIE WELLS
For Albion native Karen Kinter, community has never been something separate from daily life. It’s the thread that runs through her family, her faith, her hobbies, and her work.
Kinter has spent her life in Albion, where neighbors know her as much for her presence at One Catholic Holy Family Church, local festivals, and Friday night football games as they do for her role as CEO of Oak Orchard Health. She’s a familiar face at the Strawberry Festival, cheering on the Muckdogs, and teaching spin classes at Village Spin in Medina.
Her roots in Orleans County keep her grounded. When asked where people might find her on a given weekend, she doesn’t hesitate: smalltown events, church gatherings, or enjoying meals at her favorites, Main Street Pizzeria or Batavia’s Original.
While she happens to lead a large healthcare organization, her path there wasn’t driven by ambition alone. With degrees from Medaille University and the University of Rochester’s Simon Business School, she began her career in finance and billing for Visiting Nurse Service. But what pulled her forward wasn’t numbers. It was people. She says, “I’ve always had a passion to work within my community to have an impact to support our neighbors and friends to be healthier.” at drive eventually brought her to Oak Orchard Health, where she has worked in different roles for over a decade before stepping into leadership in 2022.
At Oak Orchard, Kinter has overseen expansions in medical, dental, and behavioral health services across five counties. Under her

leadership, the Albion Wellness Center reopened in 2024, and new therapists were added in Albion and Brockport to help meet the growing need for pediatric and adolescent care.
Kinter quickly points out that Oak Orchard Health is about more than just medicine. “It’s about building community partnerships that serve people from birth through every stage of life.” at philosophy shines through in projects like the Warming Centers Oak Orchard helps operate in Orleans County and Brockport.
e Homeless Alliance of Western New York praised the effort, calling the warming centers “truly remarkable.” For Kinter, the recognition is gratifying, but the real reward is knowing that people in her community have a safe place to turn when they need it most.
Kinter is also passionate about making Oak Orchard a place where employees feel supported. “I believe our people are the heart of Oak Orchard Health,” she says. Fostering open communication and listening to staff have helped create a culture where employees feel valued, something she considers essential to good patient care and community.
To Kinter, leadership is less about titles and more about service. She sees her role as an extension of her community values. e recognition she’s received, including a Women of Excellence Award, enables her to mentor other women, and she says, “To me, it’s all about being a role model, mentoring other women, helping with their career pathways, and overcoming challenges both personally and professionally.”
Her sense of balance comes from keeping her priorities clear. Work is important, but so is staying active, showing up for local events, and living her faith. She credits Albion itself, with the close-knit people, the small-town rhythms — with shaping who she is and how she leads.
“Serving a rural community means that the needs are significant, but it’s extremely rewarding to serve those who have difficulty accessing care. We are always looking to develop programs that will help everyone,” Kinter said.
For her, the work comes down to one simple goal: helping her neighbors live healthier, fuller lives, and healthy, connected people make stronger communities. “We want the community to be more stable by promoting health and well-being. We treat their illnesses, mental health, and social needs. For the community to advance economically, people must be healthy. OOH can help.”
For neighbors in Albion and across Orleans County, Karen Kinter is more than a CEO. She’s a local who shows up, gives back, and never forgets where she came from.

Beautiful Tribute
Brighter
Thank you SO much for sharing the beautiful tribute to Chuck Mangione in the Hometown Stories. He was one of my clients and a dear personal friend, and he was such a wonderful person. It was great to read that someone wrote such a beautiful piece about him.
Precious Gesture
As I walked my son down Main Street the other day, I noticed we were approaching a man mowing his lawn. I was a little worried about my baby’s ears because of the noise, but as we got closer, the man cut his engine and we walked by. I noticed he wore ear plugs. I said, “Did you just stop so we could walk by?” He replied, “Absolutely. I would never take that chance.” So to the wonderfully kind man who did that for us the other day, I just want to say thank you! What may have seemed like a small gesture of kindness to you really meant the world to me. I haven’t stopped thinking about it all week. We live in a special little town!
Batavia Angels
I would like to thank the four gentlemen who helped my husband, Chris, when he fell out of his wheelchair on August 22nd at the corner of Jefferson and Main St. What’s more, I am most grateful to the four young EMTs who checked Chris’ vitals and took him to the ER. It was our 27th wedding anniversary and we were walking to the little waterfall behind the courthouse. Thank you all so very much! God bless you all.
Please, out of respect for fellow shoppers, let’s keep nudity out of public shopping places. It’s very embarrassing. If you feel the need to dress so skimpy, please do it within the walls of your home. Thank you!

Don’t Citicize Unless You Offer Help
So many of our neighbors struggle to make ends meet nowadays.

The case of the chronically constipated cat
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My 13-year-old cat, “Tibbles,” has suddenly developed a litter box problem. He pees quite a lot -- I’m constantly scooping the box -- but I have not seen any poo for about three days. Tibbles seems comfortable and doesn’t seem distressed. -Jamie B. in Milwaukee
DEAR JAMIE: A significant change in litter box habits is a signal that something is going on, and you should call the veterinarian.
Cats are famously good at hiding illness. It’s an instinctive trait to keep predators away. If they’re feeling a bit off, you’ll almost never notice. If they’re seriously ill, they may hide themselves away. Senior cats like Tibbles become very secretive as their body ages. They walk more slowly and jump less if arthritis is developing. Their personality may change. They may yowl from discomfort or confusion.
Your cat may be developing a kidney problem, but to confirm this, you’ll need to bring Tibbles to the vet for some tests. It would be helpful to collect a urine sample and a stool sample (if he goes before your visit), so the vet can present results faster. If you’re not able to do that ahead of the visit, the vet may give you collection tools and instructions on how to get those samples and bring them in later.
Make sure that your cat is hydrating as well as possible. Keep his water bowl filled. Give him less dry kibble and more paté-style cat food. Limit his treats to just one or two pieces a day, or switch to a “lickable” treat (available in packets at most retailers).
The veterinarian will provide further dietary adjustments, and possibly medication, once they’ve observed and tested your cat. Follow their instructions precisely to help Tibbles become regular again.
Cats can become pregnant even during the first estrus cycle. A feline’s pregnancy lasts around 63 to 65 days, or about nine weeks. A cat also can be impregnated again very quickly after giving birth, as nursing kittens will not prevent a subsequent pregnancy. The average litter size is three to six kittens, so it’s easy to see just how many kittens can be born of one cat if she’s left to her own reproductive devices. Females also can be mated by more than one male or even one of their male relatives.
HOUSEBREAKING PUPPIES
Err on the side of caution at the start and take the pup outside once every 30 to 60 minutes to establish a system of reward and praise for going outside.

Do you have HEEL pain or ARCH pain?
HEEL SPUR SYNDROME/PLANTAR FASCIITIS is a common problem among people who are active. It starts as a dull intermittent pain in the heel and progresses to a sharp persistent pain. Classically, it is worse in the morning with the first few steps, after sitting, after standing or after walking.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I want to point out a serious health concern. My daughter turned 40 last year and got a mammogram that came back with a shocking diagnosis of stage 3 microinvasive carcinoma. She underwent three surgeries, the last of which was a double mastectomy. I read that cancer incidence increases with hormone usage that is greater than five years in a row. My daughter’s doctor prescribed “the pill” to her for much greater than five years and never even warned her of the risk.
How many other women are unaware of the risks? In many cases, these women are busy, young professionals as my daughter is. They are using the pill because it is so easy. Please warn them and their parents. -- M.R..
ANSWER: The association of combined oral contraceptives with breast cancer is controversial. Many large studies, such as the Nurses’ Health Study, didn’t find an association between “the pill” with breast cancer, either while a woman is using it or after she stops.
Q. A.
There have been some studies that have shown an increase in risk, but the magnitude of the risk is small. In a large Danish study, the overall increase in risk was about one additional case of breast cancer in 8,000 women taking the pill for a year. For women under 35, the risk was one case in 50,000 women per year. The studies that showed a risk for breast cancer did not show an increased risk when women took them for longer. Oral contraceptives certainly have risks. Blood clots are more common among users. They have side effects that can be very bothersome and sometimes prevent women from using them. However, there is an overall improvement in mortality risk among users because even in 2025, having a baby puts a mother’s life at risk, and oral contraceptives are effective at preventing pregnancy.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a healthy male, age 65. I get 7-8 hours of sleep most nights, but during the night, I typically wake up three to four times with a very full bladder. So, I use the bathroom, then return to bed.
My question is, where do my kidneys get all the water to make so much urine? I’m not drinking during the night, and I don’t drink anything before I go to sleep. Where is it coming from? This does not happen during my waking hours. -- B.F.
ANSWER: When you drink or even eat food with a high water content, this fluid will be absorbed into your blood, but it takes time. Once it’s in your blood, it will then be filtered by your kidneys to make urine, but this, too, takes time.
In general, I tell my patients to stop drinking 4 hours or more before bedtime. People who have kidneys that aren’t at 100% function may need an even longer time so that they can urinate all the fluid out.
There are other considerations. Many men and women over 60 develop swollen legs during the day due to leaky blood vessels and valves in the veins. Taking in excess salt worsens this problem. The fluid will go back into the blood overnight, and it can easily be enough fluid to fill the bladder. Compression stockings can reduce the amount of fluid in the legs.
Finally, the body has a system for reducing urine output at night (the anti-diuretic hormone is secreted at night to prevent you from having to get up), and in some people, this system fails. The hormone can be given nasally in these cases, but since it can affect blood sodium levels, it needs to be used very judiciously.

Expired products at home?
When the pandemic began over five years ago and our stores were keeping odd hours and sometimes the shelves were empty, many of us stocked up on food and supplies when we could get them. We chose canned goods and dry boxed foods like pasta, as well as staples like bleach and sanitizing wipes.
Where are those items now? Are some of them still on our shelves at home, maybe tucked in the back and kept for emergencies?
It’s time to check those items for expiration dates. Most are likely too old to be used, and many of them can make us sick if we do.
Here are a few hints as you go through your stash:
You’ll likely need a magnifying glass as you look at each item because the dates are often very small.
The dilemma with foods is that the experts don’t agree. Some claim that an expiration date doesn’t really mean the food is no longer good, while some say to pay attention to the dates. Plus, there’s a difference between “best by,” “sell by” and “use by” dates. Confusing, isn’t it? I tend to go by the date that’s printed as the cutoff date. Bleach really does expire and lose potency, and so do the sanitizing wipes, antibacterial hand soap and other cleaning products. Look on the product for a lot number and check the company’s website for dates of manufacture or how to decode the batch number.
Even your shampoo has a limit to the time it can sit unused in your bathroom cabinet, and so do toothpaste, deodorant, hand lotion, eye drops -- nearly everything you use. Go online to www.checkfresh. com. Click the brand of your item and type in the lot number. It will tell you when it was made.

VOCATIONAL SCHOOLING CAN PAVE THE WAY TO HIGH-PAYING JOBS
Many students believe that the next natural step after graduating from high school is to go off to college. Secondary education has become such a common transition that many parents begin saving for college tuition as soon as their children are born. Although college can be the next chapter in a student’s education, many teenagers still choose to attend trade school.
Television personality Mike Rowe says the country is in the midst of a skilled labor shortage because workers lack the necessary training to fill the hundreds of thousands of available jobs. Lack of information may drive the notion that trade jobs are nothing more than a backup plan if college doesn’t pan out.
