Contact your local bar association. According to the ABA®, bar associations in most communities will make referrals according to specific areas of law. This can ensure people without much or any experience hiring lawyers find one with the right experience and practice concentration. Local referral services also may help, and the ABA® notes that many, though not all, have competency requirements for lawyers who wish to be referred. When speaking with a referral service, ask if they have such requirements in place and how frequently they reevaluate lawyers they refer.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My boss is making remote workers come to the office three days a week. That means my dog “Dally” will be left alone for most of the day. I’m leery of doggy daycares, but I don’t see another option. How do I find the best daycare for my dog? -- Jennifer K., via email
DEAR JENNIFER: Fortunately, most pet daycares with problems are the exception. But you’re absolutely right to want the best daycare option for Dally. Here are key things to do as you choose the perfect daycare.
-- Make a list: Look online for all of the pet daycare facilities within reasonable reach. You shouldn’t go too far out of your way to drop off your dog. Ideally, it is on your route to work.
-- Take a tour: Make an appointment to visit each daycare (without Dally).
-- Bring a notepad: Write down your observations. Is the facility clean? Does it seem well-organized and reasonably calm? Is each area fenced securely? Is the facility free of hazards like broken toys or electrical cords?
-- Ask safety questions: How many staff are in place to monitor the dogs? Are they trained to spot aggression or illness? Do they have first aid training? What is their procedure for emergencies or incidents?
-- Learn what Dally’s day is like: What activities are offered? How often and for how long? Are the dogs ever crated, or do they have quiet rest areas?
After your tour, a good facility will schedule a time to meet Dally, check his vaccination record and test his temperament and socialization skills. That’s important to ensure all the dogs in their care stay safe and have fun.

From Silver Lake to Conesus, dogs love a good splash but not all are strong swimmers. If you’re boating, consider a doggie life vest. It makes retrieval easier if they fall in, and yes, they come in adorable patterns too.

Smart watering conserves water and saves money
Start early. Homeowners may feel that the hottest times of the day are when lawns and gardens will be most in need of water, so that’s the best time to set sprinklers or grab the hose and get to work. But in many areas, watering between the hours of 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., when summer temperatures tend to peak, can be both wasteful and ineffective. That’s because watering between those hours will cause much of the water to quickly evaporate, robbing lawns and gardens of the water they need to withstand the heat. Homeowners who water when water is most likely to evaporate may feel they need to water more, and that only wastes water. It’s best to consult a local landscaping professional in your area to determine the best time to water each day, but in many regions the best time to water is between 6
and

To the owner of the silver extended cab pickup truck. Please fix your muffler. 2-3 times a day you pass and no matter where I am in the house, I can hear you coming and going. It is loud and annoying.
On July 1st, my neighbor had smoke pouring out of the basement, so another neighbor and I went to see. My neighbor Valorie tore into the house and within 15 seconds, had Mom, the little ones, and both dogs safely outside. While I was still on the call to 911, the fire siren sounded, and in less than a minute, the property was filled with FD volunteers and the trucks came shortly afterwards. They said there were volunteers from other towns there (working hard) as well. Shout out to our brave firemen and our brave neighbor Valorie!
I would like to thank the very caring woman who helped me in Target on June 23, 2025. You assisted me with my dog and I failed to get your name, but you don’t know how much I appreciated what you did for us! Also, a special thank you to Guest Service team member, Colton! I was having a very hard day and your assistance was very much appreciated!
On July 1st we were at Lakeville Diner and a customer in a booth next to ours overheard it was my birthday and when my daughter got the bill she was told that the lady had paid half of it in honor of my birthday. Thank you to this lady and we will pay it forward.
Our neighbors walk their BIG dog(s) and allow them to defecate on our front lawn. This is usually close to our mailbox, which is why we cannot miss the mess. Rather than cause a problem, I have chosen to clean up the mess myself and hope that the neighbor realizes this is wrong. I do not understand why they do not walk the dog on the other side of the road where there are no houses. This is a country road with no steady traffic! The family on the other side of their house has put up a stockade fence to keep them out of their yard. Frankly, I am hesitant to approach the neighbors to complain about this defecating problem. The homeowner is a ‘hot head.’. We have heard him screaming and swearing at his family. I know this is against the law in the city. What about lawns on country roads? Please! Please! Please! If you are walking your dog and the dog defecates, no matter where it is - CLEAN IT UP! Be a good neighbor.

Choking is a leading cause of unintentional death in infants. Young children not can choke on food as well as objects they put in their mouths while exploring the world around them. Parents of young children and hosts who intend to invite youngsters into their homes can learn how to respond when kids appear to be choking.TheMayoClinicrecommends the following approach when tending to children under the age of 1, which differs from the steps necessary to address choking instances in older children and adults.
· Assume a seated position and hold the infant facedown on your forearm, whichisrestingonyourthigh.Support the infant’s head and neck with your hand, and place the head lower than the trunk.
· Thump the infant gently but firmly five times on the middle of the back using the heel of your hand. The combination of gravity and the back blows should release the blocking object. Keep your fingers pointed up to avoid hitting the infant in the back of the head.
· Turn the infant face up on your forearm, resting on your thigh with the head lower than the trunk if the infant still isn’t breathing. Using two fingers placed at the center of the infant’s breastbone, give five quick chest compressions.Press down about 11/2 inches, and let the chest rise again in between each compression.
· Repeat the back blows and chest thrusts if breathing doesn’t resume. Call for emergency medical help.
· Begin infant CPR if one of these techniques opens the airway but the infant doesn’t resume breathing.

“History repeats itself. If we don’t understand what happened before, we can’t move forward.”
BECKY WEHLE
On a warm July morning, I reached Becky Wehle by phone. oughtful yet brimming with energy, she spoke of her life’s work at the Genesee Country Village & Museum; she says it’s not simply a career, but a calling. She explains that her grandfather had a vision for a place like this. GCV&M has been a part of her life since she was born, and she recalls her grandfather relocating historic buildings to the Mumford campus in 1966.
Growing up only fi een minutes away, Wehle spent countless a ernoons wandering the village green, attending agricultural fairs, and catching glimpses of what 19th-century life might have felt like. A er college and an early position at the George Eastman Museum, she joined the Genesee Country Village Board in 1997. Nine years ago, when the museum’s leader retired, she stepped into the role of President and CEO, now overseeing the nation’s third-largest living
For Wehle, her work is not about numbers and buildings, but more about people and the fragile stories that risk being forgotten. She says, “If these buildings didn’t come here, we would’ve lost them. And if we don’t tell these stories, we lose a part of ourselves.”
In recent years, the museum has taken a bold step to confront the complexities of history by reinterpreting the home of Nathaniel Rochester, the city’s founder, originally located in Dansville. Built in 1795, this house was Rochester’s first residence upon arriving in Western New York in 1810. e museum carefully relocated it to the Pioneer Settlement section to serve as a focal point for exploring the region’s origins.
While Mr. Rochester’s contributions to the development of Rochester are widely celebrated, the museum’s research has uncovered difficult truths about his legacy as a slave owner. Archival documents, including a 1790 ledger purchased by the University of Rochester’s Rush Rhees Library, reveal that Rochester and his partners bought and sold enslaved people.
Central to this story are two enslaved children who lived in the Dansville house: Benjamin, a 16-year-old boy, and Cassandra, a 14-year-old girl. In 1811, Rochester manumitted them both, though Cassandra was indentured to the Rochester family until she turned 18 to learn “the art and mystery of a cook,” unpaid during that period while Rochester received financial support from the state. e fate of Benjamin a er his manumission remains unknown.
GCV&M has created a new exhibit and guided tour to present this complex legacy with honesty and nuance, balancing Rochester’s pivotal role in the region’s growth with the painful realities of slavery. Wehle says, “ ey were not just names or footnotes. Benjamin and Cassandra were real people whose lives were shaped by systems of oppression and whose stories deserve to be told.”
Wehle sees the museum’s role as one of care, courage, and connection, saying, “When people say we’re rewriting history,we’renot.Everystorywetellhereactuallyhappened in Western NY. is region was diverse in the 19th century and still is today. Our job is to make history relevant, accurate, and engaging, even when it’s uncomfortable.” is summer, her vision comes alive in events that blend education, culture, and a touch of flair. is past weekend, the museum hosted Hearts in Conflict: Kinship and Citizenship in American Civic Life, a community conversationonhowslaveryandthesectionalcrisisstrained family bonds. e following morning, the museum hosted Drag Me to the Past: Herstory & Hashbrowns, helping guests discover the fascinating history of female and male impersonators who performed and thrived in the Genesee Valley in the late 1800s.
August 8-10th features the National Silver Ball Tournament, the nation’s most comprehensive 19thcentury baseball program featuring vintage teams in wool uniforms playing by old-school rules at Silver Base Ball Park – the first and finest replica 19th-century baseball field in the U.S. And for those seeking a slower pace, the museum offers Heirloom Garden Tours & Ice Cream Socials on select August dates, a charming way to savor summer with friends or family.
Wehle says, “It’s programs like these that remind us history isn’t static. It evolves and it connects to the questions and conversations we’re having today.” For Wehle, connections aredeeplypersonal,asshesays,“Somanyvisitors,especially

people of color, have thanked us for centering these stories. Some talk about ancestors who were enslaved. Seeing them make those connections, it’s powerful.”
As the familiar maxim o en attributed to George Santayana says, those who do not learn from history are bound to repeat it. On the surface, the phrase can feel fatalistic, even discouraging. But at the Genesee Country Village & Museum, Wehle sees it differently, saying, “History isn’t destiny. It’s instruction. e more we know, the more empowered we are to act. Ignorance is the real enemy.” History naturally involves interpretation, but for Wehle, the goal is not to dictate what people think but instead describe what took place and make history come alive.
In a world flooded with screens and notifications, the Genesee Country Village & Museum offers a space to slow down, listen, and reflect. Wehle says, “Here, you see, hear, and even taste history. On any given day, there are 18-20 interpreters on site, real people telling real stories. at human connection is everything.”
When asked what she might say to a visitor wondering why history matters, Wehle didn’t hesitate. She says, “History repeats itself. If we don’t understand what happened before, we can’t move forward. Women’s rights, racial justice, Indigenous histories, these are all of our stories. People need to see themselves in them.”
At the Genesee Country Village & Museum, history isn’t just preserved; it’s lived, celebrated, and given room to speak to the present. And in Wehle’s hands, that legacy feels very much alive.
There’s so much happening at your local libraries!

DEAR DR. ROACH: Recently I almost experienced kidney failure from a probable infection. I am a male, age 68. My glomerular filtration rate (GFR) ranges from 44-50,and my weight is 132 pounds.My blood pressure is 110/60 mm Hg, and I enjoy various endurance sports.
Besides limiting my protein, salt and saturated fat intake, as well as getting adequate hydration, do you have additional recommendations on how to help my kidneys recover or get the rest they need to slow their progress toward kidney failure? -- D.
ANSWER: You’ve done most of my work for me, but I do want to say that I have seen people overly restrict their protein intake. The expert recommendation is to stay between 0.8-1 gram of protein per kilogram of body mass. So, for you, it would be 48-60 grams or about 2 ounces of protein a day.
You want as much polyunsaturated fat (mostly vegetable and seed oils) and saturated fat (mostly meat and tropical oils like coconut and palm) as possible. Your blood pressure is close to perfect, and a sodium intake of less than 2 grams will help keep it there. Depending on more exact details of your kidney function (especially whether you are losing protein in your urine), medications such as ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, and SGLT2 inhibitors may have a role in slowing down your progression -- if your nephrologist agrees.
The other issue I caution you on is over-the-counter medicines and their dosing. You should avoid anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen, naproxen, or their prescription counterparts. Finally, many people who participate in endurance sports do get their volumes depleted during exercise, so you need to be meticulous about replacing fluid, which needs to be the right kind at the right amount.
Dr. Roach regrets that he

With the increasing number of food recalls lately, it’s very tempting to buy a few rural acres and grow our own food, isn’t it? A dozen chickens, a milk cow, a veggie garden ... what else would we need? Unfortunately for the majority of us, that’s not a possibility. However,we can keep up with the increasing numbers of food recalls and stay safe. Here are a few of the new ones: We have undeclared pecans in mocha truffles, milk in mousse desserts, listeria in cheddar curls, illness-producing microbes in cough syrup for little kids, salmonella in cucumbers, peanuts in vitamin B12 gummies. And that’s only in the past two weeks.
In the previous two weeks we find salmonella in organic eggs, listeria in mushrooms, listeria in peeled shrimp, undeclared sesame in crackers and more.
But food isn’t the only thing on the recent recall lists.
Going to www.recalls.gov is eye-opening because they document recalls for several categories, including cosmetics, medicine, boats, vehicles and consumer products such as electronics, appliances, clothing, sports gear and much more. There’s the gas heater that is a gas/fire hazard, the pool drain cover that can cause serious injury, the 2,000-watt power station that can cause shock and the party supply toys for little kids that can cause serious injury if a child swallows the battery.
If you want to check recalls for your vehicles or the tires, you’ll need the VIN (look in the corner of the windshield). At www.recalls.gov/ nhtsa.html you can sign up for email notifications. (Note: One manufacturer recently had to recall nearly a half million vehicles because bearing failure can cause the engine to fail while it’s being driven.
You can sign up for a variety of email alerts at www.recalls.gov, www. foodsafety.gov and www.fda.gov.
Stay aware. Stay safe.

Look for ways to be more efficient. Interactions with coworkers can make work more enjoyable, but working parents should not spend too much time shooting the breeze with their fellow employees. Doing so wastes time and only contributes to work-related stress. Commuters who don’t drive themselves to work can be more efficient by using their commutes to read emails, arrange meetings or catch up on projects. Doing so allows for more time to get work done while in the office, which can make it easier to go home on time.

Research the job market. Look into the industries for the field you are considering. Is it the right time for success in this field? Industries tend to ebb and flow.
