According to the National Centers for Environmental Information and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 2025 is breaking records for heat and other climate anomalies already. In Western NY, we’ve already had record-matching and -breaking days, and summer’s just begun. What do you do to beat the heat?
- Stay indoors during peak heat hours
- Use fans or AC to keep cool
- Visit a public cooling center or pool
- Change outdoor work or activity schedule
- Check on neighbors, family, or pets
- Nothing different so far

The dangers of bagged salad greens
Sometimes we just want to take the easy path and quickly grab a few things for dinner. Bagged salad greens are often on our list -- but it’s the last place we should be taking a shortcut in meal prep. Between contaminated water in the fields and many people involved in the processing, handling and storage, food safety experts are pointing to bagged salads as the item near the top of the list for safety concerns and outbreaks of E. coli. And that makes it a real risk for seniors or anyone with a compromised immune system.
How to avoid the dangers of E. coli? Buy whole head lettuce instead of bagged and throw away the outer leaves. Rinse the lettuce under running cold water and dry it with paper towels. Besides the force of the water during rinsing, the drying with paper towels can also help remove the E. coli contamination. Do the same with other leafy greens such as spinach.
However, if you do want to buy packaged salad greens, the dilemma comes when the package claims that they have been pre-washed. “Triple washed! Ready to eat!” the package will proclaim. The question is: Should you believe it? Or should you go ahead and wash it? The experts, including the FDA and USDA, say not to wash it. The reason, they say, is that we at home are more likely to contaminate the greens ourselves with a dirty sink.
People on blogs across the internet are insulted, however, being told they would contaminate food in their own kitchens. They intend to wash all produce, even if the package says it’s not needed and even if it’s organic from a farmer’s market. It’s difficult to know what to believe, but one thing is a fact: Seniors who develop an E. coli infection can become severely ill. Take care.

On behalf of Seniors in Henrietta, I would like to thank the Monroe County Sheriff staff for all their help with the Sheriff’s Academy; we learned a lot and enjoyed the time spent at the different facilities. Thank you to all of you and especially to Deputy Kelly Valvassori who helped us through every class. Thank you.
Penny Saver Carrier
Thank you to the GV Penny Saver carrier who put up a new tube in Oakfield to replace one that got hit with the snowplow this winter. He was so nice and helpful for me to be able to get the Penny Saver without having to bungie cord the old one. We are lucky to have such a thoughtful carrier.

Thank you everyone who was patient and asked if I needed help when my car broke down in Dansville recently. A big thank you to all. To the young gentleman who came back around after I was able to coast down to Agway parking lot, and helped push out of traffic lane. Kim E kept me calm while my hubby arrived, and Dansville police for their assistance.
Embarrassing display of flags in our town
Brighter Vent
It is tradition in our towns, communities, and country on Memorial Day to pay homage and appreciation for those who have sacrificed the most for our freedom and way of life. The simplest way our towns do this is by displaying our American flag on poles throughout the town’s center. It feels heartwarming to see these flags flying every year in every town as you drive through. Except one [local] town. This year, the town board and highway department decided to save some money and hang up used, old, faded, and torn flags on broken and bent poles. Every single flag was torn and faded! Some poles were bent towards the ground, some were pushed up flat against the utility pole, and some poles were placed with no flag at all. Just a pole. It is a disgrace to those who have served, those who have lost one who has served, and all of us! The town board has been notified and no response has come from them. Crickets... time for them to take care of the small things that bring us all together!
Main Street Woes
Our wonderful Main Street is full of potholes and destroyed pavement. NOT being addressed. [local road] is NOT safe due to the lack of repair to the potholes of winter.

WHAT’S YOUR ADVANCE CARE PLAN?
By Keith Roach, M.D.
Immunity to Rubella Does Not Equal Immunity to Measles
DEAR DR. ROACH: I read a recent column of yours in which you said that everyone my age can assume we’ve had measles. I remember having measles in the second grade but have a vague memory of my parents calling it German measles, which I believe is rubella.
If a person has had either, do they have immunity to both types of measles? -- S.F.
ANSWER: If you were born before 1957, you are likely but not 100% sure to be immune to measles (sometimes called red measles) and mumps. However, rubella (German measles) is a different disease, and immunity to one does not ensure immunity to the other.
The biggest health concern with rubella is when a woman of childbearing age contracts it as the potential damage to her developing fetus can be severe. So, every woman who could get pregnant is tested for immunity at the earliest opportunity. All health care workers should have documented immunity to measles, mumps and rubella.
The United States is in the middle of a large measles outbreaknow,andthoselivinginanareawithtransmission should be sure that they are immune to measles. This can be done by checking blood antibody levels or giving an extra dose to those who have already been immunized (or two doses to those who have never been immunized).
At the time that I write this, there is no rubella outbreak in the U.S., but if there is, the advice will be similar to demonstrating immunity to rubella as it is for measles.
(NAPSI) — No matter your stage of life, it’s always a good idea to have a long-range care plan in place. A good way to begin is to talk candidly with your family and friends. By starting the conversation, you can express your views on treatment, relay your care preferences and communicate who will make decisions on your behalf. This process of advance-care planning can help ensure your wishes are carried out and bring peace of mind to those you love.
Build your advance care plan
• Durable financial power of attorney: This document authorizes a person to make legal or financial decisions on your behalf if you are incapacitated.
• Durable healthcare power of attorney: This document authorizes a person to make healthcare decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so.
• Advance-care directive: This document specifies how you receive care in the event you are unable to make those decisions on your own.
• Long-term care insurance: This is an insurance product that pays for long-term care services in a variety of settings.
Documents and requirements may differ by state. Please consult a legal or financial advisor to ensure use of the correct forms.
Make the Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program (FLTCIP) part of your plan
As you make plans for the future, consider the potential need for long-term care and the effect it could have on you and your family.
Long-term care is the ongoing aid you need if you can no longer perform everyday tasks by yourself due to chronic illness, injury, disability, or the aging process. This type of care is expensive but there’s a way to get help paying for it.
Applying for long-term care insurance coverage under the FLTCIP may be a smart choice for you. The FLTCIP is designed to reimburse for qualified long-term care services and can help lessen or eliminate your reliance on a loved one to provide hands-on care.
The FLTCIP offers you a choice of caregivers. Informal care provided by friends and family members is covered, as long as the caregiver isn’t your spouse or domestic partner and doesn’t live in your home at the time you become eligible for benefits. (Benefits for care provided by family members is limited to 500 days.)
Care provided in an assisted-living facility, an adult daycare, or a nursing home is also covered. If home care is your preference, the stay-at-home benefit includes a range of services that support care in your home, helping you maintain your quality of life in familiar surroundings.
Taking the next step
The FLTCIP is sponsored by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, insured by John Hancock Life & Health Insurance Company, and administered by Long Term Care Partners, LLC. To learn more about the comprehensive benefits and features, call 1-800-LTC-FEDS (1-800-582-3337) TTY 1-800-843-3557 or visit LTCFEDS.com.

RECOGNIZE SIGNS OF HEAT STROKE IN DOGS
What is heat stroke? Dogs suffer from heat stroke when their body temperatures exceed 104 F and the built-in mechanisms they rely on to cool themselves - including panting - cease to function properly. But any temperature 103 F or above is considered abnormal. According to PetMD, heat stroke is a form of non-fever hyperthermia that can lead to multiple organ dysfunction.

A TAIL-WAGGING TOUR OF THE ERIE CANAL TOWPATH
From Brockport to Fairport, the Erie Canal towpath is a favorite among local dog walkers. Whether you start your morning in Holley or take an evening stroll near Spencerport, you’ll find plenty of pups enjoying the wide-open space, birdsong, and water views. Be sure to bring along some water and keep your dog leashed, especially near the canal’s edge. And don’t be surprised if you get a few friendly waves or tail wags from fellow walkers... it’s part of the charm of the Canalway community.

Why Vaccinate Your Pet
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I don’t see the point of vaccinating a pet, especially if they’re kept inside for most of their lives. I’ve read that vaccines can cause more harm than good. It’s not natural to vaccinate. A dog or cat’s immune system should be able to handle most diseases. So why bother to vaccinate? -Natural Pet Parent
DEAR NATURAL: You couldn’t be more wrong. A pet’s immune system is not an invulnerable shield against all attacks; it’s a constantly adapting system that has to “learn” what microbes and viruses are threats and which are not. Unfortunately, some diseases cause serious illness or death before a pet’s immune system can respond to them.
Part of what vaccines do is help a pet’s immune system learn about specific threats without causing harm to your pet.Vaccines contain a safe, weakened or killed version of a pathogen; when injected, the immune system produces antibodies to specifically attack that pathogen -- and they remember that in the future.
A disease like rabies, which is always fatal, is best fought off by a vaccine, which helps your immune system mount a frontline defense if a pet is exposed to it. For example, if a vaccinated cat is attacked and bitten by a rabid fox or raccoon, a veterinarian will give the cat a booster shot and monitor the cat in quarantine for 30 to 60 days. An unvaccinated cat who is attacked by a rabid animal might be euthanized immediately, or quarantined for up to 4 months.
Because there is no such thing as 100% prevention fro exposure to various diseases, even your indoor pets need to have their core vaccinations.

DID YOU KNOW?
Though office work might not be the first profession individuals think of in relation to elevating one’s cancer risk, sitting at a desk for most of the day can increase a person’s risk for cancer. According to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, sitting for most of the day without engaging in physical activity puts individuals at increased risk for cancer. How much extra risk does that entail? Though no two individuals are the same, studies have equated sitting for eight hours a day without any physical activity to the risk posed by obesity and smoking. The DFCI notes that sitting over long periods of time has been known to cause increased blood pressure, high cholesterol and excess body fat around the waist, each of which have been identified as factors that increase a person’s risk for cancer.

DOROTHY SORCE HONORS GRANDDAUGHTER ALICIA DEBAY WITH COMMUNITY BOOKSHELF
BY SUZIE WELLS
At the edge of a yard on Fourth Section Road in Brockport stands a little wooden bookshelf filled with gently used novels, children’s stories, and neighborhood favorites. It’s not just a place to grab a book—it’s a heartfelt tribute.
Dorothy Sorce, a lifelong Brockport resident and pillar ofhercommunity,installedthelittlelibraryinmemory of her beloved granddaughter, Alicia Caroline Sorce DeBay. Alicia passed away at age 46 on November 13, 2024, a er battling a rare cancer, malignant glomus sarcoma for four years.
“She loved books,” said Dorothy, who raised her family in the very house where the bookshelf now stands at 7480 Fourth Section Road. “And she loved sharing what she knew, helping others.”
e bookshelf itself is a family labor of love. Dorothy’s nephew, John, constructed and installed the sturdy structure in her front yard. Inside are stories for all ages—free for the taking. “Keep it, pass it on, swap it for another book,” Dorothy encourages. “Just keep sharing Alicia’s joy of reading.”
A LIFE OF CARING AND COMPASSION
Alicia DeBay was born and raised in Brockport, the daughter of Michael and Ellen Sorce. From a young age, her heart was drawn to caring for others. At just 16, she began working at the Beikirch Nursing Home, an experience that inspired her to pursue nursing. Graduating from SUNY Brockport’s nursing program, she worked at Strong Memorial Hospital for a year before moving to Fort Lauderdale and building a successful healthcare leadership career in Florida, recognized as an experienced leader in the industry.
Friends and family describe Alicia with words like “supportive,” “bright,” “brave,” and “genuine.” She was a devoted mother to her son, Charlie, and a beloved wife to her husband, Chip. Despite the progression of her illness, Alicia remained active in her profession, determined to give back as long as she could. A family friend says Alicia “had an incredibly positive outlook on life and was so brave, running multiple marathons while she was fighting in order to spread hope … Her life revolved around Charlie and his music career, her family, and spreading awareness… so determined to see Charlie perform even during chemo and feeling awful she rallied and even napped in the car and at the restaurant table just to see him rock out and bring her such proud moments.” She was in pain, but she endured with the support of her family.
“In every book shared, Alicia’s love lives on.”
A GRANDMOTHER’S STRENGTH AND DEVOTION
Dorothy, who turns 94 this year, knows something about strength. Born to Ukrainian immigrants in 1931, she lost her own mother at 14. A er marrying Mariano Sorce in 1953, she moved to Brockport and faced tragedy again just two years later when he died suddenly, leaving her to raise 18-month-old Michael on her own.
Supported by her late husband’s four sisters and the extended Sorce family, Dorothy built a life for herself and her son, working for over four decades at Rochester Midland before taking on another career as a special needs bus monitor well into her 80s. Dorothy’s home became a hub for her grandchildren, Alicia and Amy, who spent countless a ernoons there.
KEEPING ALICIA’S SPIRIT ALIVE
e little library is more than just a shelf with books. It’s a symbol of continuity of Alicia’s compassion, her love of learning, and her family’s enduring devotion. It’s also a gi to the community. Dorothy says, “I just want people to come and take a book. at’s what Alicia would’ve wanted.”
In the quiet exchange of books at the edge of a yard, a legacy lives on, not just of a remarkable nurse and mother, but of a family’s enduring love and the power of community to remember, honor, and share.
A GATHERING TO HONOR ALICIA’S LIFE WILL BE HELD ON JULY 13TH FROM 1:00 TO 4:00 P.M. AT THE 585 BACK PORCH TAVERN (3739 COUNTY LINE ROAD, BROCKPORT), FORMERLY THE CLUBHOUSE OF THE BROCKPORT COUNTRY CLUB—A PLACE WHERE ALICIA SPENT MANY CHERISHED CHILDHOOD DAYS SWIMMING AND GOLFING WITH HER FAMILY.
Her life revolved around family, hope, and helping others—even in the hardest moments.” “

CARE FOR TOOLS PROPERLY
Homeowners often choose to save money and learn valuable skills by doing their own home improvement projects. These minor or major renovations are made much more successful by having the right tools for the job. Investing in good tools can be smart, but those tools are only effective if they are accessible and in good repair. Homeowners who emphasize taking care of their tools can make DIY projects that much easier and more rewarding.
