I aim to build customer relationships in an effort to “partner” with them for all their marketing needs.
What’s your favorite part about working with local businesses?
Just meeting new people and learning a bit about their business.

What’s one product or service people are surprised we offer?
The variety of promotional items we offer sets us apart. I always remind customers that we’re not just print advertising. If it can be printed, chances are we can do it.
Best piece of advice you’d give a local business owner?
Budget for your annual marketing and don’t waste it on one-and-done ads. Consistency and longevity with your advertising is very important.
A local place you love:
Six Sprouts for Friday morning coffee, and several great spots for a Friday night fish fry, including Easton’s, Tee & Gee, and The Avondale.
If a visitor had one day here, where would you send them?
In good weather, Letchworth State Park. For a day excursion to a quaint little town with plenty to offer, Naples.
What’s one local event you never miss? Avon CornFest.
What do you enjoy doing outside of work?
Playing golf or just hanging out with friends. I also like to frequent local music venues to hear new bands, and I’m especially fond of Broadway musicals and plays.

A li le kindness goes a long way
With all the negativity in the world right now, I am so grateful for the little things around us: the individuals who help each other, check on an older neighbor who lives alone, shovel or plow someone’s driveway when the snow piles up, hold a door open for the next person, say please or thank you to the retail or grocery worker trying to make ends meet, simply smile at another human being out somewhere, anywhere, because goodness knows, we need a little more kindness, human-ness today more than ever, and those little things can brighten someone’s day and make the world just a little more manageable.
Volunteers and donations
Thank you, wealthy neighbors who use their extra funds for good instead of hoarding it and snubbing the lesser fortunate in the community. I won’t name names, but thank you. We see you. We have hope for the future as our belts tighten and we wonder how we will make ends meet; it is refreshing to see you giving of your time when you could have just written a check (or done nothing at all and let someone else help out). The nonprofits do great work, and when all come together, rich, poor, and in between, that’s when our community is strongest. Thank you. I wish more people would give of their time and money to help their communities. We are only as strong as our weakest link.
The handshake at mass to wish someone peace was never a good idea. I like turning to face others and personally say peace with a friendly smile. Nothing sad, frustrating, rude or impersonal about this form of greeting.
Handshake in church
Construction safety
Today I witnessed something in [local town] that genuinely shook me. A driver ignored a flagger who was clearly holding a stop sign and drove straight into an active work lane. The flagger managed to pull the car to the shoulder so a construction vehicle could pass, but even then, the driver refused to follow directions and continued through the work zone. In that moment, one person’s impatience put so many lives at risk — the driver’s own life, the flagger’s life, the entire crew working only a few feet away, and every other driver on that stretch of road. Watching it unfold made it painfully clear how fragile their safety is. These workers stand in harm’s way every day so our roads can stay open and safe. They are parents, friends, neighbors — real people who expect to return home at the end of their shift.
Please: slow down, obey flaggers, and stay alert in work zones. Your choices behind the wheel could be the reason someone gets home safely… or the reason they don’t.

TOOLS OF THE HOME RENOVATOR’S TRADE
Home renovation projects can be both exciting and tricky. Do-ityourselfers are inspired by designs showcased in magazines, websites and their own communities. When DIY enthusiasts see a design they like, it’s understandable that they may want to emulate these looks at home. Remodeling is one of the larger DIY undertakings, and it goes beyond simple carpentry. Considering demolition, reconstruction, electrical, plumbing, and masonry work may be part of the DIY package, homeowners who are thinking about renovations must first stock up on the tools and other supplies of the trade. Having the right tools can mean the difference between a job well done and a job that needs to be redone.

BEGINNING AND ENDING WITH “C”
SENIOR NEWS LINE
By Matilda Charles
Reading and writing for relaxation
If ever there was a time to turn off the television -- especially during the evening news hour -- this is it. Between the stress and anxiety of current events that we can do nothing about and the shocking mistakes we see being made (not to mention the resulting disrupted sleep and rising blood pressure), we can easily just press the off button on the remote.
But what shall we do with our free time, once we have silenced the noise? We can read ...
“Homework for Grown-Ups: Everything You Learned at School and Promptly Forgot,” by Elizabeth Foley and Beth Coates, is a trip down memory lane of all the facts and tidbits you used to know. The topics are covered in bite-size sections and include English language and literature, math, home economics, history, science and much more. Still wonder if you should use “that” or “which” in a sentence? Or you don’t remember the answer when your grandchild asks, “What’s the difference between a parallelogram and a rhombus?” Or if you need a refresher about rock, paper, scissors, the book will remind you. At the end of each section is a quiz with answers in the back of the book. If you read a few pages every day, you’ll find it addicting!
And we can write ...
When is the last time you wrote someone a letter? Not an email, not a text message, not a letter typed on the computer and printed out, but a handwritten letter on nice stationery with a matching envelope. And yes, they still make such things, sold in sets. While you’re shopping for stationery, consider buying a journal. If you make a habit of writing, without a daily dose of bad news, you’ll likely find yourself much more relaxed -- and happy!
Working Out Which Plant-Based Milk Substitute Is Healthiest
Q.DEAR DR. ROACH: Everyone in my family, except for me, has converted to using almond milk instead of cow’s milk. I just saw something on the internet stating that almond milk is possibly the worst plant-based milk substitute. I trust your opinion and research. Can you please educate me on what is best? Are plant-based milks really better than cow’s milk, and which plant-based milk is best? -- D.G.
ANSWER: When trying to compare plant-based milk substitutes with each other and with animal milks in their health impact, it’s important to look at what each of them have in terms of macronutrients and micronutrients.
A.
Cow’s milk, like other animal milks, contains macronutrients like protein, sugars and fats, as well as micronutrients like calcium. (Most cow’s milk is fortified with vitamin D.) While most North Americans consume adequate protein, many people try to increase their protein intake through cow’s milk. Similarly, although the data are mixed, most experts agree that saturated fat, which is found in cow’s milk, increases heart disease risk. (Cow’s milk can be whole, low-fat, reduced fat or skim, varying in their percentages of overall fat.) However, cow’s milk contains beneficial fats like conjugated linoleic acid and methyl-branched-chain fatty acids. Most North Americans consume much more simple sugar than what is optimal with cow’s milk.
Almond milk has much less protein than cow’s milk (1 gram versus 8 grams), and the quality of the protein based on the amount of essential amino acids is less. Soy milk is much higher in protein than almond milk -- almost as much as cow’s milk, about 7 grams. Coconut milk has almost none.
However, almond and soy milk have no saturated fat (or almost none) and more monounsaturated fats. Coconut milk has about the same amount of saturated fat as cow’s milk. Almond, soy and coconut milks are typically fortified with calcium to match what is found in cow’s milk, but the calcium in plant milks is not absorbed as well.
Almond milk can be bought unsweetened or sweetened with typically 7-8 grams of sugar per cup, compared to 12 grams per cup in cow’s milk. Cow’s milk has multiple other micronutrients naturally, while plant-based milk is fortified with vitamin A and D.
So, is your family right that almond milk is the worst? No, I don’t think so. In my opinion, the nonexistent protein and high saturated fat content of coconut milk makes it the least acceptable from a health perspective. Soy and almond milk seem like the better alternatives, but neither of them is really comparable to cow’s milk in terms of other micronutrients.
The choice of almond versus soy milk is not clear from a health perspective, so your taste preference should be your guide. In all cases of plant-based milks, I recommend unsweetened and unflavored products.

SEEDS OF LOVE CLOTHING CLOSET: Meeting Needs with Dignity, Care, and Community
BY SUZIE WELLS
PAT RODMAN WORKING AT THE CHECK IN DESK
Volunteers have heard “countless stories” about how the closet has made a difference.
What began as one woman’s desire to meet an overlooked need has grown into a thriving ministry serving families from near and far. Seeds of Love Clothing Closet, operating out of St. Mary’s Church in Honeoye, is more than a place to pick up clothing. It’s a hub of generosity, sustainability, and human connection.
Founder Diane Brewer-Hawes traces the idea back to a simple realization. “In the fall of 2022, I was looking for a way to fill the needs of the community. ere are numerous food pantries and banks in Honeoye and the surrounding towns but there [were] no clothing closets. As families have less and less money to work with, the first thing to stop spending money on are clothes, so why not fill that need?”
A member of St. Mary’s, Brewer-Hawes brought the concept to the Pastoral Council for St. Mary’s and St. Matthews, presenting it as a ministry opportunity. She researched by visiting neighboring clothing closets to learn best practices, then gathered a group of interested church volunteers. Donations of gently used clothing for all ages soon followed, along with blankets, sheets, towels, and shoes.
Seeds of Love officially opened its doors in March 2023 in the community hall of St. Mary’s Church. What started with about 20 volunteers has now grown to around 30. According to Brewer-Hawes, volunteers find the work deeply meaningful as they help meet a wide range of needs.
Shopping with Dignity — at No Cost
e closet welcomes everyone. “Anyone from anywhere can shop at Seeds of Love. Shoppers come from near and far to shop!” Upon arrival, shoppers check in at the front table, where returning guests have their information verified and new visitors provide basic details such as name, family size, and town of residence.
Families can select up to 12 items per month per family member, with separate limits for items like linens, towels, and winter coats. Shoes, purses, and some miscellaneous items are not included in the monthly total. All items are free.
“Shop for FREE? How can it be, that you can shop for free? Our secret is the wonderful donors, who bring us beautiful gently used items. ese donations are sorted by our incredible group of volunteers and placed on display for you.”
Beyond meeting immediate needs, Seeds of Love also emphasizes environmental impact. Free clothing helps families redirect limited funds to essentials like food and gas, while also extending the life of garments, reducing landfill waste, and promoting a circular economy.
A Labor of Love — and Logistics
Success has brought both growth and challenges. Brewer-Hawes notes that shoppers come from all over, especially as the economy tightens. e closet has become a lifeline for people in crisis, including those leaving domestic violence situations with little to their name. Volunteers have heard “countless stories” about how the closet has made a difference.
Donors, too, feel connected to the mission. People who drop off items are “equally as excited to feel they are a part of helping the community,” Brewer-Hawes says.
One of the biggest hurdles is space. Each time the closet opens, volunteers transform roughly 1,000 square feet of hall space into a fully stocked shopping area and then pack everything back into a tight 200-square-foot storage space a erward.
Twice a year, the ministry shi s into transition mode, switching seasonal clothing in spring and fall. In September, Honeoye Central School’s Day of Caring provides welcome extra hands, with students helping to pack away summer clothing and set out winter items.
Volunteers at the Heart
For volunteers, Seeds of Love is about more than sorting clothes. Volunteer Pat Rodman, who has been with Seeds of Love since the beginning, says, “I like to let people (who come into shop) know that this is a clothing recycling center. We receive donations of gently used clothes and shoppers come in and find something new for their wardrobe.”
Danielle Currier-Judd shares a simple but heartfelt reason she serves: “I enjoy the people I work with and who visit us.” Cynthia Hendler, also a founding volunteer, says, “I was looking for something and was so excited to get involved.” Together, these volunteers, along with donors, students, and church support, keep Seeds of Love running.
What started as one woman’s idea has become a community effort rooted in compassion, practicality, andrespect.Inatimewhenmanyfamiliesarestretched thin, Seeds of Love Clothing Closet offers not just clothing, but dignity, connection, and hope.

Strewn Words on the Nature of Love

e sun sets alone, much like we do, while the nearer moon helps our dear waters to breathe, in its turns preventing undesired stagnations. She yearns to lays roses on my death bed, and this she does, although some weeks it’s chrysanthemums when she finds herself running low on money. But never dandelions, oh no, for I always complained how they make such lousy wine.

TIPS TO COPE WITH THE LOSS OF A LOVED ONE
Take care of your health. Mental Health America, a community-based nonprofit committed to promoting mental health, urges individuals dealing with the loss of a loved one to take care of their own health. After losing a loved one, some people may be in danger of developing a dependence on medication or alcohol that they’re using to deal with their grief. It’s important that grieving individuals recognize that threat and the role that maintaining one’s personal health can play in the healing process. Regular contact with your physician, routine exercise and a healthy diet can promote personal health and may help individuals avoid the pitfalls of addiction after the death of a loved one.

DIFFERENT WAYS TO HELP RESOLUTIONS STICK THIS YEAR
Get support or talk it out. Speaking about what you are going through and getting reassurance from other people can work wonders to strengthen resilience. When the desire to quit sneaks up, you can consult with a friend or consider a support group. For example, taking a group class at the gym may be a more effective motivational tool than working out solo.
