Parking area negligence

It is deplorable how many public buildings do not take care of handicap parking spots. Last year I had to quit physical therapy because you could not safely get from the car to the building. Their response “the landlord is responsible for clearing the parking lot and sidewalks.” I quit. Ff they were concerned for anyones well-being, they would address it………or was that job security for them? The handicap spots at the local senior center are never clear. They should be bone dry. I realize they cannot plow or salt when there are cars in the spots, but they should instruct their drivers to clear and salt before the center opens or after it closes. It is just common sense.

Thank you Guardian Angel!

Thank you to the gentleman who was in Geneseo Noyes Urgent Care on Saturday, January 14th. I had arrived for an X-ray but there was no order on file from the doctor. The receptionist suggested I go through urgent care who would then write a script. I was worried about the cost of taking that approach. The gentleman was sitting in the waiting room and spoke up that he would pay for my urgent care visit. I was amazed someone would be willing to do that. In the meantime, they were able to get ahold of my doctor and get the script. Regardless, I won’t forget the kindness a stranger was willing to give to me.

Purple Pony

I would just like to say thank you to The Genesee Valley Penny Saver for printing the wonderful article on Purple Pony. I had no idea they even existed. Horses are truly amazing, and to help with special needs of all ages tells a lot about these magnificent animals. Thank you, Purple Pony!

Response to "garbage plate modification"

I suppose it's none of my business how one modifies a garbage plate. While the modification of adding fish sticks to a plate with hot dogs and all the fixings is nothing short of, in my personal opinion, disgusting, I am more disturbed that someone is eating this every single day. Perhaps slowly adding in other lunches like salads and low-fat sandwiches would be beneficial to this person. As a medical professional, I see far too many people with garbage plate-related maladies in the greater Rochester area.

How To Involve More Young People In Agriculture

Highlight the challenges ahead and how agricultural professionals can help overcome them. UN projections indicate the global population will grow by more than two billion people by 2050. Finding a way to feed all of those people in the face of climate change will be no small task, but it’s a task that will require dedicated agricultural professionals. Educators and parents can emphasize these challenges when speaking to young people about a career in the agricultural sector, noting that such careers will present real opportunities to make a difference.
