COOLING SYSTEMS FOR WARM WEATHER KNOW THE SQUARE FOOTAGE. When replacing a cooling system, have an understanding of the size of your home (or room if installing an window unit). Determine the area of the home so you buy a unit that suits your needs. Air conditioners use BTUs (British Thermal Units) to define cooling power. The more BTUs, the larger the space that can be cooled. However, homeowners do not want to exceed the necessary cooling power. This leads to energy waste. EnergyStar.gov can help homeowners find the right cooling system for their needs.

Gray or pink grass: Another indicator of winter lawn damage linked to snow is gray or pink grass. The NALP reports that this is a byproduct of snow mold caused by lingering snow. Action may be unnecessary, as the NALP notes these circular patterns often go away on their own. If not, raking the affected areas might be enough to get the lawn on the road to recovery. If the issue continues to linger after raking, a topsoil application and subsequent seeding may be necessary.

SENIOR NEWS LINE
By Matilda Charles
Social Security to recover overpayments
Word is that Social Security is going to “claw back” any overpayment to the tune of 100% of the monthly benefit check until it’s all paid back, inciting panic across the land.
But it’s not necessarily true.
That recovery of benefits will only affect overpayments that began on March 27 of this year. Yes, they’ll take full payments until that overpayment is repaid. But any overpayments made prior to that date will be made at the rate that was in place before: 10% of the benefit check.
So, if your check is usually $1,000, the amount they’ll take out is $100, not your full check. It will be the same if you receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI). They’ll take 10%, not the full check.
Not that having any amount deducted will be easy.
Before you start to panic that you might get the dreaded “overpayment” letter from Social Security, here are a few facts, courtesy of a report by Social Security’s Office of the Inspector General:
Overpayment (and even underpayment) doesn’t happen very often, in less than 1% of benefits paid.
There are two main reasons why an error can occur: People report the wrong information about their income or fail to make corrections if there are changes (especially those who are under full retirement age and still working), and there are problems with Social Security’s processing, specifically errors made when workers enter the data.
If you receive the overpayment letter, you might be able to waive the recovery of the amount owed, especially if the overpayment was not your fault. Go to the Social Security website and look for SSA form 632 (www.ssa. gov/forms/ssa-632.html). If that doesn’t go well, you can appeal by using SSA form 561 (www.ssa.gov/forms/ssa-561.html).
You can also try calling them at 800-772-1213. If that doesn’t work, look for a Social Security office in your area by going to secure.ssa.gov/ICON/main. jsp and putting in your ZIPp code.

STORIES BEHIND
THE STORIES OF Sarah Cedeño’s
The Grand Scheme of Things
BY SUZIE WELLS
“...all of the threads came together to create the story of a space and the potential emotional experiences of those who lived in it.”
Sarah Cedeño, a widely published prose writer and SUNY Brockport adjunct professor, has long been captivated by the intricacies of human existence. rough her work, she illuminates the resilience and emotional complexity of her characters. With a BA and MA in Creative Writing from SUNY Brockport and an MFA in Fiction Writing from Goddard College, Cedeño now teaches at her alma mater, nurtures writers at Rochester’s Writers & Books, and lends her expertise as a fiction editor for various literary magazines.
Her upcoming short story collection, e Grand Scheme of ings (Small Harbor Publishing, July 2025), set in the fictional college town of Bridgeport in Western New York, delves into the struggles, triumphs, and connections of its residents. With themes of loss, resilience, and transformation, the stories offer a poignant exploration of human nature. From historical inspirations to local legends, Cedeño’s stories are deeply rooted in place and history, weaving reality and fiction together in a compelling tapestry. e collection began as Cedeño’s MFA project. Balancing her roles as young mother, educator, and soon-to-be village historian, Toni Morrison’s famous words resonated with her: “If there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.” Cedeño says she’s “always been frustrated by the limitations of historical documents to capture a full emotional truth, so when I was writing and revising these stories, all of the threads came together to create the story of a space and the potential emotional experiences of those who lived in it.”
While many influences have shaped her work, Cedeño acknowledges the role of both literature and personal connections. “ ough Alice Munro has a tainted reputation, reading her stories was integral to my development as a writer,” she says, explaining her inclusion of Munro’s quote as the collection’s epigraph.
UNEARTHING LOCAL HISTORY AND PERSONAL MEMORIES
Cedeño’s inspirations for these stories stem from historical events, local lore, and personal memories. For instance, she says a search of her own Brockport home resulted in an article about Idaho the dog, who was put on trial for murder in Brockport in 1936, and that led to ‘ e Wash,’ a story reimagining the historical event and blending it with themes of grief and unexpected solace.
“Cold Storage” was inspired by the Hartwell Takeover, a SUNY BrockportstudentprotestfollowingtheU.S.invasionofCambodia during the Vietnam War. e political upheaval backdrop frames the journey of June, a young woman returning home to find her world unraveling.
“Dear Louis, If I Could Write You a Letter” was inspired by news reports of a prowler during WWII, and incorporating the Great Tomato Pack at the Quaker Maid factory, a community effort to can tomatoes before they spoiled despite so many away at war.
“Orient Express” is inspired by an area student who joined the Universalist Church in the ‘70s and ran off when her parents tried to ‘deprogram her.’
“Primal” taps into childhood rumors about a neighborhood murder, a story that le an imprint on Cedeño, particularly as she babysat in the very house where it occurred.
Certain settings have also shaped her narratives, such as e Rathskeller, a bar on Brockport’s campus before it became a dry campus, which becomes the backdrop for “Professor Bird.” Similarly, the High Street Cemetery, a childhood haunt where she would read gravestones and imagine local history, influences her storytelling, Cedeño says.
rough her collection, Sarah Cedeño weaves a narrative landscape rich with historical echoes, personal memory, and universal emotion—an exploration of what it means to live, love, and remember.
ON WRITING AND WHAT COMES NEXT
Writing is an integral part of Cedeño’s daily life, whether in the classroom alongside her students, at her home office surrounded by gathered scraps of inspiration, or in passing moments while walking or grocery shopping. “Most important to my process is to keep an open mind, collect what’s around me, write bits and pieces and, once I feel full and ready to begin, begin,” she reflects.
Share your original stories about local heroes, community events, school achievements, or hidden gems–email your story idea to hometown@gvpennysaver.com!
Cedeño sees her work as a means of understanding what it means to be human, of exploring identity and connection. She emphasizes the role of writing in understanding the world: “ ere isn’t a life untouched by trauma, and writing helps the mind process these experiences and gives us a sense of power over what happens to us and others.”
“Creative writing allows us to connect with others across boundaries – physical, emotional, social – which is essential to understanding humanity. When we read a particular character’s story, we recognize similar experiences, emotions, and details, and that regardless of our differences, we are all human, we all have souls.”
Cedeño remains deeply engaged in new projects, including e Visible Woman, a full-length book of essays covering subjects as varied as Lizzie Borden (who Cedeño recently discovered is in her bloodline) and pollution from Brockport’s Kleen Brite factory. She’s also working on a hockey novel, inspired by her sons’ involvement in the sport.
For aspiring writers, Cedeño advises, “Stay curious. Connect. Write. Do for others as well as yourself. Keep going. Take risks.”
e Grand Scheme of ings will launch at Bookeater in Rochester, with an official release scheduled for July 2025.
She’s scheduled to read at e Dove Block in Geneva (August 31, 1-3 pm) and at the Writers Forum in Brockport (Nov 19, 7:30pm).

HOW TO HELP SENIORS ADAPT TO AUTOMOTIVE TECH
Learn the tech yourself: Assistance technologies are not all one and the same. Vehicle manufacturers have their own systems and there can be a learning curve when adapting to a new one. If you aspire to teach a senior how to utilize the assistance technologies in his or her vehicle, first learn the tech on your own. If both you and your aging friend or family member own a Subaru, chances are you already know how to use the tech in your loved one’s vehicle. If you drive cars made by different manufacturers, visit the dealership where your loved one bought his or her car and ask for a quick tutorial on all the safety features in the vehicle. Salesman demonstrate these features every day, so it shouldn’t take long for them to show you the ropes.

HOW DENTURES ARE FITTED
Teeth lost to gum disease or decay can be replaced with partial or full dentures, but the process of getting permanent dentures takes time. Most dentures require one or more tooth extractions, and the gums need three to six months to heal before permanent dentures can be created. In the meantime, your dentist can fit you with temporary dentures, made to last six to eight months. Once your mouth heals from extractions, the dentist will take impressions of your mouth and jaw, which are used to custom-mold the permanent dentures to the precise shape of your mouth. You’ll receive temporary dentures the same day as extractions, and these will help protect your gums while they heal.
Dentureshavebeeninuseformore than 2,000 years, and today these substitutes for missing natural teeth
have never been more comfortable, effective,easy to use, and appealing. However, you still need to take care of them as well as your oral hygiene with regular professional checkups and scrupulous home care.Complete dental care for all members of your family is available here at BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL, where we utilize only the latest in dental technology foryourcareandcomfort.Officehours are by appointment at 6 Batavia City Centre. Call 585.343.4246. We create great smiles!
P.S. Temporary dentures, also called immediate dentures, are not custom molded to your mouth and may slip or move as your mouth heals from extractions.

Choose smart fats. All oils are loaded in calories, but healthy oils can still be used without sacrificing flavor. Olive oil is an unsaturated fat that is a much healthier choice than butter or saturated fats. When cooking with oil, do so in moderation.

Lobular Protrusion Causes Concern for a Spontaneous Rupture
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am an 80-year-old woman in good health with low blood pressure, and the only medication I take is levothyroxine. A 6-by-5.5-mm aneurysm was discovered in my brain, and the scan shows one lobular protrusion that may be of concern for rupture.
I am trying to decide if I should go through with a procedure, but I am not sure about the effectiveness, risks, and possible post-procedure adverse reactions. It is my understanding that these coils have been on the market for a while, and I was wondering which product is best if this information is available. I was informed that the coil is made of platinum.
Two last questions: Does the coil lead to clotting, causing the aneurysm to be occluded? What prevents blood clots from entering the vascular system in the brain and causing problems? -- I.C.
Q. A.
ANSWER: An aneurysm is a weakening in the wall of the artery, which causes part of the artery to enlarge. If the enlargement is big enough, a person is at risk for rupture, which causes a bleed inside the brain that can lead to a potentially devastating stroke, depending on the size and location of the aneurysm.
When the aneurysm is big enough to be concerned for rupture, they are considered for repair, which can be done through the surgical placement of a clip or by placing a platinum coil inside the aneurysm. This is done endovascularly, meaning that a catheter is placed in the affected artery. Under a fluoroscopy (a real-time X-ray), the coil is opened up. This causes a clot in the aneurysm, which protects the thinned wall from enlarging further and reduces the risk of rupture.
You are quite right that the clot can propagate and break off. A large study showed that this can happen up to 9% of the time, but newer techniques and medications to prevent this complication have the potential to reduce it further.
Your neurosurgeon needs to weigh the risk of a clot or rupture during the procedure against the benefit of preventing a spontaneous rupture of the aneurysm. This takes judgment, and only your doctor can make this call based on the precise characteristics of your aneurysm and your overall medical condition.
I will note that the risk of rupture or a clot breaking off are lower when the aneurysm hasn’t ruptured, compared to when the procedure is done as an emergency. You also have to rely on your surgeon to choose the best product for you. Unfortunately, there aren’t studies to guide the decision, so it’s left to clinical judgment. With my own patients, I defer to the surgeon.
Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu. © 2025 King Features Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved

HOW CONSUMERS CAN SHOW THEIR SUPPORT FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES
Take charge of your to-go order: Convenience became the name of the game when ordering food during the pandemic. Curbside pickup service was offered as a safety measure, and many restaurants that never previously offered delivery or takeout started to do so to generate revenue at a time when in-person dining was limited if not disallowed. Some restaurants began offering delivery through apps like Grubhub or Uber Eats, and though that may be convenient for diners, restaurants must pay a fee to utilize those apps. In lieu of ordering through a third party delivery service, consumers can take charge of their to-go orders and pick up the food themselves. That saves restaurants the delivery app surcharge, allowing them to increase net profits on the meals they sell.
Preheat the oven to 350° F and get 12 cupcake liners ready. Beat the butter with the sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, self-raising flour and lemon zest and mix until combined. Spoon the mix evenly into the cupcake liners and bake for 18-22 minutes until they are baked through and springy to the touch.
Mix together the lemon juice and sugar for the drizzle in a bowl. Once the cupcakes are out of the oven, carefully spoon the drizzle over the cupcakes, then leave them to cool fully on a wire rack while you make the buttercream.
Beat the butter until smooth; this can take a couple of minutes. Add the powdered sugar in two batches, beating well after each addition, then add the lemon juice and beat again.
Pipe or spread the buttercream onto your cupcakes, then sprinkle each one with some sprinkles and lemon zest.

Tick season shi s into full gear – are you ready?
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My dog “Happy” and I went hiking this weekend, and when we got back to the car, I did the usual check for bugs and burrs on his long coat. I was shocked to find 12 tiny ticks clinging to his fur. I brushed them off and found five more scurrying around my boot laces. These are baby ticks, right? Should I be worried about tick bites for both of us? -- Karl M., Roanoke, Virginia
DEAR KARL: You should continue to be vigilant over the next few days, but don’t worry too much -- unless Happy shows signs of illness. Doing a “tick check” after each trip outdoors is important, and you did exactly what you needed to do.
Over the next few days, brush through Happy’s coat frequently to dislodge any additional ticks. Newly hatched ticks are indeed tiny and hard to see. Run your hand through Happy’s coat so that you can check his skin for visible bites or lodged ticks.If you notice a bull’s-eye rash around an area, contact the veterinarian.
If you haven’t treated your hiking boots or clothing with permethrin yet, now is the time to do so. Spray the treatment outside, away from Happy or any other animal, and do not let Happy near those clothes until they have dried completely. The permethrin will stay effective through a few washes.
To keep ticks out of the house, follow similar procedures to flea prevention. Give Happy a regular flea and tick preventative; vacuum and mop the house regularly, and terminate any ticks you find.

My Lucky Day
Thank you so very much to whoever found and turned in my cell phone on St. Patrick’s Day at the local Post Office. I was doing a complicated mailing and set my phone down on the counter to look up an address. I was several miles away when I noticed it was missing and anxiously drove back expecting it to be gone. When I asked at the front desk, the clerk presented the phone to me and said someone had turned it in and didn’t leave their name. I am very appreciative of the honesty and integrity of this person and they made my St. Patrick’s Day a truly lucky day!
Coffee, Breakfast Kindness
My special THANKS to the kind young woman who thought she had cut me off at our drive thru coffee establishment in Hamlin. It was a cold, snowy morning almost 2 months ago. I had pulled over to answer my phone before entering the drive thru lane. A woman went around me. I finished my call and pulled in behind her. She must have thought she cut me off and kindly paid for my coffee and breakfast wrap as an apology-- you don’t see that consideration often!, How very thoughtful of her. I had no way to thank her or to assure her that she did NOT cut me off. I took that amount of money I was going to pay for my meal, added to it and donated it to our food bank. I hope that it pays forward and the thoughtful lady reads this!!
Parking Illegally
I live on [local road] and there are “No Parking” signs up and down the street. My visitors obey the signs and park in the public parking lot or if it’s a quick stop, we use our flashers. Unfortunately, there have been numerous times that vehicles parking in front of [local address] were there for hours and even overnight!! Maybe a ticket or two would remedy the owners disregard for that parking. I also hope they don’t block the firetrucks trying to turn in or out of their parking lot. It’s been close a couple of times.
There are amazing people today, so I don’t mean to overgeneralize, but let’s think before we speak, shall we?! When you call up a business to complain about a service that’s not really in their purview but you holler and yell over the phone, what does that accomplish?! Likely, the person answering the phone does not get paid enough to be berated for something out of their control. More power to the folks who can answer phone lines when customers are known to be upset more often than not, but to holler and yell at a receptionist who helps direct your calls and take down information to help you and your fellow humans, that’s really low.
Let’s remember to be civil. If that means we need to wait a moment to cool down before calling someone, so be it. You’ll catch more flies with honey, as the old adage goes.

THINGS TO LOOK FOR IN A NEW JOB
Salary: Of course everyone would love to earn more money when changing jobs, but there is more to changing jobs than just improving your bottom line. As you begin your job search, consider how much you currently earn and if that allows you to live a life you love. If so, don’t overemphasize finding a new job that pays considerably more than your currently earn. On the flip side, young professionals who want to start a family in the years ahead should consider the costs associated with such a decision and how the salaries they earn at their next jobs may affect what they want down the road.

ADVICE FOR A SUCCESSFUL CAREER CHANGE
Don’t choose a career based on salary alone. Monster.com says that being financially strategic when choosing a new career is important, but shouldn’t be the only factor. Your personal values, experience and other factors such as family should weigh heavily into your decision as well.
