Lock and Talk Community Forum Set for Sept. 26

Help keep Ontario County families safe by attending the Lock and Talk Community Forum on Tuesday, September 26. It’s designed to be a collective effort to promote awareness, education, and responsible practices that will ultimately save lives, with healthcare, mental health, and law enforcement experts shedding light on the critical importance of locking up guns and medications in homes and places of business. The presenters will share data from our region, emphasizing the role individuals can play in reducing the risk of suicide/self-harm and overdoses, lowering crime, and keeping our children safe.

The forum will be held from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at Stage 14 on the second floor of the Student Center at Finger Lakes Community College, 3325 Marvin Sands Drive in Canandaigua. Presenters/panelists will include Senior Health Educator Christy Richards of Ontario County Public Health, Ontario County Mental Health Director of Community Services Jessica Mitchell, Ontario County Undersheriff Michael Rago, and Dr. Mark Gestring, Chief of Acute Care Surgery and Trauma for the University of Rochester Medical Center. Thompson Health Executive Vice President/COO Kurt Koczent will serve as the moderator.

Free gun locks and medication lock/disposal pouches will be available at the event, where refreshments will be served. Space is limited. Register by calling 1-800-299-2995 or visiting

Seed Saving

This is the time of year you will want to gather seeds from plants that you may want to sow next year. Not all plants reproduce by seeds but many do. More about that later. If you want to be successful, here are some tips and tricks. Read More.

Flu and Covid Vaccines

Since 2010 the Center for Disease Control (CDC) has recommended a flu shot for everyone 6 months of age or older and that has not changed. Most of us have dealt with the COVID-19 vaccines. Read more.

Tomato Recipes

As we near the end of the growing season, there can still be some usable tomatoes on your plants. If possible leave them on the vine until they fully mature. If frost is predicted, harvest those fruits that have at least reached the stage we call “mature green”. Look for those tomatoes that have reached full size and have a white, star-shaped indication at the bottom end. Read More.
