Understanding How PSAs and DREs Help Identify CANCER &body mind
By Keith Roach, M.D.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 53-year-old healthy male, and I always request to check my PSA levels each year. My 57-year-old brother’s new doctor denied his request for a routine PSA check on their initial visit. She said that the test now produces more false positives as well as unnecessary procedures and surgeries, so she said “no” and wouldn’t order it.
Are primary care physicians discouraging the PSA test for older men now? I don’t get any push back when I request to check it. Also, I heard the digital rectal exam (DRE) isn’t as valid anymore for screening. His new doctor also did not do a DRE. I’m curious to know your thoughts on the current DRE and PSA screening guidelines for primary care physicians. -- C.C.
Q. A.
ANSWER: The prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test is a screening blood test for cancer, and the recommendation for its use has gone back and forth over decades since it’s been introduced. Since screening and prevention are my areas of expertise, I have followed the literature on the use of PSAs and other screening tests very closely.
In my opinion, your brother’s doctor was wrong to refuse to order the test. She was right that it does produce false positives, which could potentially lead to unnecessary surgeries; however, there are good ways to reduce unnecessary treatment while still ordering the test, which can save lives.
Most prostate cancer is so slow-growing that it is likely never to bother a man until he dies from something else. So, we don’t want to operate on these relatively indolent cancers because there’s a possibility of a serious side effect from surgery, such as urinary incontinence or erectile dysfunction (neither of which any man wants).
Before operating, careful testing is done on the prostate cancer, including imaging (ideally by an MRI scan), a biopsy with pathological examination, and often genetic testing of the tumor. Along with the PSA results, we can separate prostate cancer into categories of very low risk and low risk versus intermediate and high risk.
Once we have the diagnosis, we can make good recommendations so that we can identify the rare high-risk cancers while not unnecessarily treating the low-risk cancers. Without screenings, we can’t keep rare, small and aggressive tumors from spreading until it’s too late.
Now I have to tell you that 57 isn’t so much “older” than 53, at least from the perspective of prostate cancer screening. The most important time for prostate cancer screening is ages 50-70. There are some men who benefit from starting screening at a younger age (those with a family history, Black men, and men with certain genetic risks), and there are some who benefit from starting screening when they’re older than 70.
The DRE does not add much to the results of the blood test. Approximately 1% of men will get prostate cancer that is diagnosed by the DRE as part of combined screening. Many men will refuse screening if it includes a rectal exam, and it’s estimated that 90% of abnormal rectal exams will be false positives. On the other hand, I’ve had instances where quite a few men don’t feel like they have been adequately screened unless they get the DRE.
I have a discussion with every man about PSA testing, and I recommend it for most men in this age group. But I only rarely have had a man say that he doesn’t want it once he understands that we won’t recommend surgery unless the combination of all the studies show this is a high-risk situation.
FROM SOCCER FIELDS TO TRACK LANES: Campbell Riley’s Rise at Batavia
BY CHELSIE WELLS
A standout runner on Batavia’s Cross Country and Track teams, Campbell Riley now heads south for her next chapter. A 2025 graduate of Batavia High School, Riley will attend the University of South Carolina, where she will major in Exercise Science with the goal of becoming a physical or occupational therapist.
ough she’s best known locally for her speed and dedication, running wasn’t always the center of her story. In fact, her path to this sport began unexpectedly during a different one.
Riley says, “I played soccer growing up, and when I was in eighth grade, I took the Varsity test to play up. During the mile portion of the test, one of the track coaches saw me and asked if I was interested in running.” at simplemoment,combinedwithfriendshipsshe’dstarted building with girls on the Track team, set the course for the rest of high school.
She officially joined Track and later Cross Country, finding success and a strong sense of belonging. She says, “Looking back on my high school track career, the most memorable races were the ones I got to run with my teammates. Winning a race feels awesome, but it feels even better when you win it with your best friends.”
Riley became known for her strength in multiple events, but one stood out. She says, “My favorite distance to race has to be the 800. Even though it is one of the most challenging events in Track, it is so rewarding to accomplish PRs in this event.”
During her freshman year, she was a dual athlete, competing in both cross country and soccer at Batavia. at drive and adaptability defined her approach to athletics throughout high school.
When it came to big meets, like Sectionals or States, Riley made an effort to stay grounded, saying, “I would

try to keep my race-day routine the same as any other race. I’d eat a bagel in the morning and just try to relax and not worry myself about the race.”
Staying calm and focused helped her perform, but her motivation came from those around her. She says, “My family and teammates are definitely what keeps me motivated in my races. I want to make them proud and do my best, and

in relays I’m motivated so we do well as a team.”
at team spirit made her time at Batavia so meaningful, she says, adding, “My favorite memory from Batavia Track was all the trips they took us on. ey made a big effort to let their athletes reach their potential and go to big meets like Nationals and States.”
Balancing school, training, family, work, and friends wasn’t always easy, but Riley says she’s grateful for the experience. “It took me a while to learn, but even with a busy schedule every day, I wouldn’t have traded it for anything.”
Outside of sports and academics, Riley enjoys spending time with friends and family and plans to explore new opportunities and communities in college. “I’m most excited for meeting new people and doing new things,” she said of her move to South Carolina.
To younger athletes, Riley offers simple but heartfelt advice: “Have fun with running and learn from the older runners. Be a good role model and teammate to everyone.”
Whether racing alongside friends or taking on new challenges in the classroom, Campbell Riley’s story is one of commitment, growth, and the power of community. And as she heads from Batavia to South Carolina, she carries with her speed, strength, and the mindset of a teammate, leader, and student ready to keep growing.

FAST FACTS ABOUT THE SUN
UVB rays damage the outermost layers of the skin and contribute to the most skin cancers. Overexposure to UVB rays causes delayed sunburns.
The end of July is synonymous with poolsides, wave pools, and eighty-foot tall slides mounted on steel towers. Whether you’re a thrill-seeker or a lazy vacationer, waterparks have something for every taste. Nothing beats being in the water to cool off during the summer.
The waterslide was first seen in New Zealand during a display at their International Exhibition in 1906. Ever since, waterslides have quickly evolved, especially in the 1970s. More than 1,000 waterparks already exist with multiple new parks opening each year in the U.S.

TIPS TO HELP KIDS LEARN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE
Read books in the language the child is learning. This could be tricky if parents are not bilingual. However, in that scenario, reading books to children in a foreign language provides a great way to reverse roles and let children teach their parents everything they’ve learned from their teachers or tutors. Keep stories simple and even seek recommendations from teachers or tutors.
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.

Finding affordable pet care and pet products
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I retired four years ago and thought I had enough to cover all my expenses, plus some. But the rise in prices for everything has really hit hard. I can’t afford to take my two Dachshunds, “Kili” and “Fili,” to the vet for their annual checkups and shots. And I’m terrified what will happen if one of them gets sick. Do you know of any way I can cut expenses for pet care? -- Dave M., Santa Monica, California
DEAR DAVE: I completely understand. These are difficult economic times, especially on a fixed income. But there are lower-cost pet care options available.
First, contact Kili and Fili’s veterinarian and explain your situation. Ask if they offer any discounts or payment options for care, or if they have any recommendations for free or low-cost care. Vets will work with you to keep your dogs healthy.
Next, contact the local Humane Society or shelter and ask the same questions. Shelters want pets to stay with their owners and have resources and contacts to help make their care easier and more affordable.
Ask about low-cost or free pet vaccination events (often called shot clinics). These take place in many towns and cities at least once a year. For less than half the cost of a routine visit (and sometimes free), these clinics give pets their required vaccines and may offer additional services like physical exams and blood tests. These are frequently announced online, but you may be able to locate one by contacting your town office or the local shelter.

SENIOR NEWS LINE
By Matilda Charles
Video games for seniors
A recent annual report by the Entertainment Software Association indicates that over 50 million seniors are playing video games.That’s over one-quarter of the total number of people playing video games.
Color me shocked. The reason: I thought I was the only one, or at least one of a very few. Little did I know that so many other seniors are also playing video games -- and that more than half of those are females.
When asked why they play, 77% of seniors responded that they play video games to relax, 51% to have fun and 65% to keep minds sharp. There’s social interaction, which helps combat isolation. We can improve memory, problem-solving skills and hand-eye coordination. We can slow cognitive decline, reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and improve mental flexibility. In other words, playing video games can be good for us.
How to get started if you don’t already play? I started playing video games right after I got my first computer, back in 1994. While I’ve gone through several computers over the years, I still have some of the original games, and they’re now classics. For several years I had a membership that sent me a new game every month as well.
Level: Beginner
To get started now, if you’d like to trying playing video games, begin with something easy, either for your computer or tablet. You have so much to choose from. There are word games and puzzles. There are classic games where you can play chess against the computer. There are trivia games, community builders (you build an online town) and shooter games where you kill enemies or monsters. You can play by yourself or in groups online.
One place to start is the AARP Games Center (aarp.org/games), where you can play dozens of games for free and even more if you’re a member.
Log in and submit your event online at www.gvpennysaver.com/calendar or in person at: 1471 Route 15, Avon, NY 14414 Submit your event by the Monday 2 weeks prior to publication date.

I am thankful every time I go shopping, for people who leave carts out in the parking lot. To those who think failure to return a grocery cart to a cart stall are lazy, please consider a different perspective. I have a bad hip, bad back, bad knee, bad foot (all can make walking difficult); and asthma (can leave me very short of breath). I have a handicap tag, but the spaces are often full. If I cannot park close to the store or right by a cart stall, I look for a spot where someone, for whatever reason, left their cart, which I use as a substitute walker. After shopping and returning to my car, I often have too much pain to take a cart to a stall and return to my car without the cart to support me. Essentially, I return it to the spot where I found it and say a silent “thank you” to the person who left it there for me to use.
Events Everywhere
Neighbors, we believe you are a nice family, so please understand how disruptive your daily loud outdoor music is to those of us who: Work from home; have small sleeping children; are elderly, etc. We hear and feel YOUR music in our own home. So, do the right thing here, consider how you affect others and move the speakers, turn the bass down, or best of all, turn it off while outside.
Beef Prices
What is going on with beef prices? A cheaper cut of roast was $11-13 a couple of years back. The same now is $36 dollars! I could not believe it! With cattle locally and plentiful across our country, can someone explain why we are being pick pocketed? Tariffs cannot be the blame. Inflation cannot be the blame either. So, what is it? I refuse to pay those ridiculous prices.
ey need your help
With days in the 90’s already a few times this year and more to come, please help the dogs that are outside without water and shade. If you know of one, do not just feel bad for them, get help. Call your local humane society or the police. If you have an outside dog, put a frozen water bottle in their water to keep it cool on hot days.
So fortunate to have so many great local events happening that I can’t even decide what ones to attend–we had a great day at the Geneseo Air Show, then stopped by Oatka Festival on the way home and were sad we couldn’t get to the Corn Hill Art Festival! How lucky we are.
