Jim Salmon's birthday, October 1st

Halloween October 31st is a biggie for kids, especiially! Just keep in mind when taking the kids out that they are careful of traffic and they are visible to drivers. So hard to see a young one in a dark costume.

What's your favorite memory of Halloween and your favorite candy?

ATTENTION PENFIELD RESIDENTS

You may have noticed or heard of some geothermal drilling happening recently, and perhaps even caught a whiff of something unusual in the air. While that wasn't an ACES project, we want to clear up why this happens and how we handle it.

?FLX Geology 101: The Finger Lakes region is rich with sedimentary rocks like shale, limestone, and sandstone, but underneath, there are natural voids (cavities formed by erosion and rock dissolution). Sometimes, these voids trap methane pockets, causing a temporary release of gas. While the smell can be unpleasant, it's not harmful to the public, and fire departments are often called to assess the situation. It's all part of the process!

?How We Prevent: At ACES, we take extra care to review the geology of each site using publicly available data, and our own personal log of drilling results nearby before starting. In Penfield and Brighton, for example, we typically drill to 150 feet. Beyond 150' we've found voids more consistently. Over the last 15 years, we've partnered with local municipalities to refine geothermal permitting practices to ensure our projects are safe and successful.

*It's unfortunate when geothermal projects go awry, often due to installers skipping essential permits or failing to plan for the local geology. When this happens, it not only puts the project at risk but also gives geothermal energy a bad reputation.

(See?They do know what they're talking about!)

Now, going in a different direction! We all have teeth, many do not take care of their teeth! Some simple brushing a couple times a day, and flossing are easy to do, yet many don't bother. Not brushing and flossing leads to bad breath, cavities, destroyed teeth, jaw pain, and so much more that you don't realize. It is so important to visit the dentist at least twice a year. We just happen to have the best dentist office to go to! The Center for Cosmetic Dentistry. What? You don't need cosmetic work done? Well, hang on, that doesn't mean you are vain, cosmetic means a lot of other processes. First of all, you make an appointment by calling 585-227-4390. They will clean your teeth, take x-rays, check for mis-alignment, cavities, receding gum areas, etc. Drs. Sussman or Pogal will discuss the best options to help you. Some, is just getting you on a daily plan to keep your teeth clean and health. Or if need to go further, possible, cavities, if extractions are needed, or implants, or veneers all kinds of various options to help with keeping you painfree and leading to a beautiful, healthy smile! Set up the appointment now, don't put it off any longer!

Do you worry about losing power this winter? So many of our appliances, furnace, our phone chargers (!), it's definitely inconvenient but for many people losing power effects their health! Oxygen, powering wheel chairs or lift chairs, things you don't even think about. Having a stand by generator from Generator Supercenter is what to do. They have on display at their store, various selections and sizes for you to choose. An important decision is to make sure you get one big enough to handle what you need. Some people think, only need furnace and refrigerator as well as some lights. But in reality, when the power does go out, they wish they had gotten a bigger one. Bigger doesn't mean larger in size necessarily, bigger means more power. Sometimes you have no idea how long the power will be out, possibly days maybe a week or so. A few hours isn't a problem but a week? That takes it to a whole different level of discomfort and loss of food, etc. Insurance doesn't cover a lot of that especially the inconvenience. Generator Supercenter is a local business, you can easily drive to their location, walk in the door and ask all the questions you want to a person who will answer them! That in itself is a big deal!

from Jim Salmon about Superior Plus Propane;

When we first moved into our house in 1984 there was a small propane bottle outside of our kitchen which provided clean buring gas to our kitchen stove. That was 41 years ago! Today, the same company provides us with all of our clean burning propane for heating, cooking, and a great gas fireplace! The folks at Superior Plus Propane have never lost that home town personal service. We know the delivery drivers by name and the service is exceptional! I love the monitors they put on our two large tanks so they know exactly when we need a delivery. Superior Plus Propane is most certainly - Superior!
