Bad Service

Last week I took my Tacoma to the new oil change place in [local town]. They offer a free state inspection. The next morning I noticed that one of my hubcaps was missing. I checked the inspection report and this hubcap belonged to one of the wheels they removed, When I checked the other wheel they removed, it was not installed properly. I returned to the location and was told "it sometimes happens" and that they "installed them properly.” If they cannot install hub caps properly I would not trust them to touch my engine. Tacoma hubcaps do not fall off if they are installed properly.

Cemeteries Need Money More Than Flowers

Community Spirit

Thank you to Mike and Luke and their employees and staff at Harding's Furniture Store in Mt. Morris for arranging to transport a donated and much needed lift chair to the Teresa House in Geneseo. Thank you for this generous and helpful action. Welcome to the Genesee Valley and for "jumping in" with your charitable community spirit.

Saved The Runaways!

A few days ago our 2 young dogs pushed their way out of the house and took off like a shot. Within seconds they were a few acres away and out of sight. The next thing we knew there were several vehicles stopped on the road including a contractor who was using their lights to alert other drivers. The dogs were with them and came when we called. I was so busy getting the dogs back to the house, I did not even acknowledge those who helped. So, whoever you are, thank you so much for your role in getting the "kids" back to us. That was a real kindness. Thank you, thank you, thank you and God Bless you!!

Regarding the rant about the maintenance at the local cemtery. Being a caretaker of one, I wondered when the last time they donated was. Most small town cemeteries are struggling to get the funds to mow, weed eat, and for maintenance. People spend big money on ﬂowers. How good are they going to look if you can't see them with the grass taller than the headstones. Please donate to your local cemetery. Your loved ones are there along with veterans.

Annoying Dogs

Living in town can be a challenge during the summer months with loud lawn mowers, weed eaters, power washers, etc. But those sounds are to be expected. My complaint is people who tie their dogs outside for hours on end. The dogs literally bark nonstop. Is there no law against this? It is difﬁcult to enjoy gardening or just simply relaxing and enjoying a conversation with a friend with a dog barking constantly. Why do people do this? It can't be good for the dog and it certainly is annoying to nearby neighbors. Please stop leaving dogs tied outside if they are going to bark all day!

NOW HERE’S A TIP! By Joann

• Store kitchen matches wrapped in tin foil to keep them dry when on camping or shing trips. You can also store them in an empty pill bottle if they are the short kind. If you ll paper egg carton cups with dryer lint and drizzle it with wax, you can cut the cups apart and you’ll have small restarters for your camp res. My family does a lot of camping in the summer, and we use these every time. K.R. in Missouri

• To get scorched pan bottoms clean, scrub with sudsy ammonia and rinse well.

• Baby food jars make wonderful organizer containers; most people know that. But you can make a great rst cup from a baby food jar. Screw on the lid tightly and poke holes along one side. Baby can tip and sip, but not much will come out. ey are just the right size for small hands. M.W. in Alabama

• Baby oil can loosen soap scum from shower doors. Apply and bu lightly with a so washcloth. Follow with a shampoo cleaning or just leave as is. It will repel water and smells nice, too.

• To keep shirt collars from absorbing oil and grime, sprinkle with talcum powder while ironing.

How Consumers Can Show Their Support For Local Businesses

Continue to be loyal: A recent study from researchers at the Harvard Business School found that a customer’s eighth purchase was an average of 80 percent higher than his or her ﬁrst purchase. That highlights just how valuable repeat customers are to small businesses. Consumers who have had positive experiences with small businesses in their communities in the past can continue to support those companies by looking to them ﬁrst when they need new products or services. Doing so not only helps small businesses retain more customers, but it increases the likelihood that consumers will again have positive buying experiences.

One springtime task on homeowners’ to-do lists is checking cooling systems to ensure they are ready for summer. Proper maintenance of cooling systems is essential to saving energy and keeping utility costs down. Fortunately, homeowners need not be certified HVAC technicians to maintain their cooling units.
