The US Social Security system formally began as we know it in 1935, with precursing Civil War and company pensions to take care of aging and disabled employees. With an aging population and fewer people working to pay into the system, polls show people overwhelmingly oppose cutting SS benefits. What should be done to solve the looming crisis as funds to pay these benefits diminish?
- Raise tax rates to cover benefits - Raise the retirement age - Reduce benefits paid out - Reconsider the whole system
response to recent federal funding cuts affecting local nonprofit organizations, which of the following actions are you most likely to take?
DID YOU KNOW?
Diamond engagement rings are presented as tokens of love and affection during wedding proposals. The majority of first-time brides will receive a diamond ring, with surveys indicating only 13 percent opt for another gemstone. Researchers from Emory University determined that the average price for a diamond ring is roughly $2,500. However, grooms can spend much more. Diamonds have symbolized eternal love for centuries, perhaps since they were first discovered in India more than 2,000 years ago. The ancient Greeks actually thought diamonds were tears of the gods, while ancient Romans believed diamonds were splinters from heavenly stars.

WOOD STAINING TIPS
Staining wood can transform the look of everything from fencing to decking. While wood can be beautiful in its natural state, staining can protect the wood and complement landscaping and otherhomedesignelements. Staining can seem like a simple project, and that is often true. However, certain woods, such as pine,cherry,maple,andbirch,can be difficult to stain. Boards with attractive grain patterns also can absorb stain differently, resulting inblotchinganduneventone.
Before beginning a staining project, it is important for homeowners to test the stain chosen on a sample piece of wood to see how the color and absorption turn out. This gives homeowners the chance to understand what they’re dealing with and time to make any necessary accommodations to achieveamoreevenlook.
Begin by gathering the necessary supplies. A pair of latex or vinyl gloves will protect your hands. Drop cloths will catch any drips or spills. Safety goggles and a dust mask provide protection if sanding is required prior to staining. If sanding is necessary, homeowners will need an orbital sander, hand sander and sandpaper. Start with the coarsestgritsandpaperandmove toahighergritforasmoothfinish. Wood that is covered in paint may need to be stripped prior to sanding. Follow the directions carefully when using chemical strippers.
Natural bristle paint brushes are handy for oil-based stain applications. Synthetic paint brushes can apply water-based finishes. Many do-it-yourselfers find that foam brushes or paint pads are the most handy because they provide a smooth finish and there’s no need to clean up the brushesafterward.
Many professionals recommend using wood conditioners or pretreaters so that the stain will not leave blotches on the wood. This is especially important for homeowners who determined their wood is prone to uneven color absorption. Allow the conditioner to dry according to productdirections.
Stain should be applied so that it is evenly coated. Wipe off the excess to get the preferred color. Apply more stain as necessary to get the desired color. Many stains only offer color, so you’ll need to apply a finishing coat to protect the wood. Otherwise, look for a product that combines stain color andafinishtosavetime.
Remember to remove knobs, hinges, and handles from a piece before staining, as the stain may affect the color of any metal hardwareanddamageit.

Remembering the sacrifices of war dogs
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: This Memorial Day, I hope you can call attention to the sacrifices made by war dogs, who have served side by side with American troops for over 100 years, taking on missions that their human counterparts could never do so well. Many gave their lives protecting others. -- Charles B., via email
DEAR CHARLES: Absolutely. Military working dogs, often called “war dogs,” are an essential part of America’s armed forces. They provide security around the world and are trained for specialized missions like drugs and explosives detection, sentry duty, scouting, and search and rescue. Military working dogs are even part of special forces units. Over the past century, war dogs have played essential roles. In the past,German Shepherds were the primary breed used as military working dogs. Recently, the armed services have shifted to slightly smaller breeds. The Belgian Malinois is the preferred breed for military working dogs today. Sadly, during the Vietnam War, thousands of military working dogs overseas were euthanized or abandoned when their service was done. In 2000, President Clinton signed a law that allowed war dogs to be adopted once their service was over.
More than 400 military working dogs have been killed in action since World War II. It’s estimated that they have saved over 10,000 lives. Today, a War Dog memorial stands in Bristol Township, Pennsylvania, to call attention to these selfless heroes, as well as a War Dog statue outside the Airborne & Special Operations Museum in Fayetteville, North Carolina.
As we remember the sacrifices of American troops this Memorial Day, I hope you’ll all take a moment to remember the loyal, highly trained working dogs who gave their all to keep their comrades in arms safe from harm.
From Silver Lake to Conesus, dogs love a good splash but not all are strong swimmers. If you’re boating, consider a doggie life vest. It makes retrieval easier if they fall in, and yes, they come in adorable patterns too.
Capturing the Magic of Music: The Pal-Mac Select Choir’s Journey Through the Emerald Isle
BY KATRINA M. RANDALL
A er a full day of exploring the beautiful Irish cliffs of Moher to the backbeat of crashing waves below, PalmyraMacedon’s high school select choir raised their voices and sang.
Drawn in by the sound, nearby sightseers gathered around. Select Choir Director Katherine Fisher, says, “Many began recording, and although the students hadn’t expected an audience, you could see their faces light up with pride. One student told me a erward how inspiring it was to have strangers stop to listen and truly enjoy their music. at moment captured the power and magic of music in such a pure way.”
It was a once in a lifetime trip for many of the students and families that spent eight days in Ireland over April break seeing the sights and performing in historic cathedrals like Kylemore Abbey, St. Mary’s Church of the Sloes, and St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin. Fisher says, “To make music in places filled with centuries of history was both breathtaking and humbling.”
Taking the select choir to Europe is something of a PalMac tradition, notes Fisher, who joined the district in 2023. She was happy to oblige when the district encouraged her to explore the possibility of a European trip in 2025, saying, “When the opportunity arises to take students abroad and introduce them to another culture, you jump at it.” Drawn to Ireland’s vibrant culture and scenery, she knew it was the right choice.
Logan Vogl, a Pal-Mac senior and a member of the select chorus since he was a sophomore, says although there
have been school trips to Boston and Cleveland, it was the first time in years the school sent students overseas. Vogl, whose favorite song to perform was the Latin “Ubi Caritas,” adds, “For most of us, this was our first time on a different continent, or for
they had scones and tea in a 300-year-old farmhouse.
PAL MAC SELECT CHOIR NEAR KERRY
According to Vogl’s mom, Nicole, who was one of 13 or so family members also on the trip, one stop along the Ring of Kerry was especially notable. ere, she says they were able to hold a lamb and baby goat while a man played an accordion, with an ice cream truck stationed nearby, “Almost like they knew we’d be coming along, even though this was all unplanned. My son and I ended up sitting on a wall looking out at the bay, the water in multiple shades of blue, and blue skies and rolling hills before us … I may have shed a few tears.”
is was a favorite moment for Fisher as well, noting how the kids sang a “Parting Blessing” as a thank you and she conducted the choir holding a lamb like a baby. Other places they visited included Rathbaun Farm, Bunratty Castle, and Blarney Castle, where they kissed the Blarney Stone, of course. ey also saw the Book of Kells and participated in a masterclass with the choral professor at University of Cork. On their last night, they dined at Belvedere Irish Nights and had an Irish dancing experience, with a few students volunteering to go on stage to learn traditional Irish dances.
“Getting to experience a new country alongside students and families I’ve grown so close with made the trip incredibly meaningful.”
KATHERINE FISHER
ere were so many experiences, Nicole says it’s hard to narrow down her favorite. “So many amazing memories were made, but the Cliffs of Moher and seeing Galway probably hit the mark for me, and the food was all fantastic too. Of course, maybe just being there with my son on this adventure was enough.”
Fisher feels humbled to have been able to bring her students on an overseas trip, giving them a life-changing experience, something she’s experienced firsthand. Fisher says, “Getting to experience a new country alongside students and families I’ve grown so close with made the trip incredibly meaningful.”

STREAMING SOURCE
Today marks seven days since I’ve watched the television news. For a news junkie, that’s a very long time. But I feel much better for having taken a break.
It can’t be good for us, either mentally or physically, to be constantly bombarded with information that causes stress and likely has a health impact in the form of higher blood pressure.
The chronic chaos shown to us on television news even impacts us socially when we don’t know anymore what the safe topics are, and sometimes we just give up and don’t talk much at all when we’re with others. Gone is the spontaneity (and the joy) we once felt, and we eventually stop socializing altogether because of the additional stress it brings when in the company of others who insist on talking about negative news topics.
The news comes at us from several directions: the computer, the television, our cellphones. Add to that the stream of breaking news alerts either on the television or notifications chiming on our phones, and we just don’t get away from it.
WEEK OF JUNE 2, 2025
What to watch & where to watch it:
3-June: “Love Island” (Season 7) Peacock
4-June: “Stick” (Season 1) AppleTV+
4-June: “Power Moves with Shaquille O’Neal” (Docuseries) Netflix
5-June: “Gina Brillon:The Floor is Lava” (Comedy Special) PrimeVideo
Before I could go cold turkey and avoid the news, I knew I’d have to keep up with weather. In my area it’s safer to know what’s coming. To stay ahead of possible bad weather I use the Weather Channel on TV and Wunderground (www.wunderground.com) on the computer.
Not that I can do this indefinitely, of course, avoiding the news. At some point I’m going to have to check back in with the rest of the world. But it’s been a relief not to be bombarded with constant chaos, hysteria, sensational crawlers on the screen and differing viewpoints about world events.
I invite you to try it for yourself, even if it’s just for a few days.You’ll feel better. (c)

Are screening centers worth the money?
Q. A.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I see screening tests advertised often. For $160, I can get screened for conditions that might cause strokes, heart disease, aneurysms, etc. My partner and I are in our early and mid60s. Should we get these done? -- K.S.
ANSWER: Sometimes screening tests make a great deal of sense; other times they don’t. It all depends on how likely it is that a person would have the condition in question. For example, screening for an aneurysm of the aorta has been proven to save lives in men between 65-75 with any history of smoking. It can also be considered in other people, especially if there is a family history of an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
On the other hand, many stand-alone screening centers offer ultrasound evaluations of the carotid arteries in the neck, but expert groups such as the United States Preventive Services Task Force recommend against it in people without symptoms. They have concluded that screening for blockages of the carotid arteries in people without symptoms is more likely to result in harm than benefit. The main harm comes from false-positive ultrasounds, which must often be confirmed by an angiogram.About 1% of people get a stroke during an angiogram, which is more than the expected benefit of finding and treating blockages in a person with no symptoms. Some people would be helped by screenings, but more people are expected to be harmed.
I have also seen an unfortunate lack of timely follow-ups. I had a family member get a screening done, and shortly after he died of a heart attack, a letter came from the center saying that he should follow up with a cardiologist. In my opinion, screening tests should be decided on by your doctor, who knows your medical history. I don’t recommend going to places that just do screening, even if the price (in money) is affordable.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am an 81-year-old man in fairly good health, I think, except for osteoporosis. Three years ago, I had a very weak pulse rate and was hospitalized. My wife thought I was having a stroke. The cardiologist had a pacemaker implanted, and I’ve been good since.
But two months ago, the cardiologist listened to my chest and said I had a murmur, a word I didn’t know. She also said “sinuses” and “plaque” and “valve.” She ordered an echocardiogram, which I’ve had, but don’t know the results of yet. Am I in danger? If so, how much? -- W.C.G.
ANSWER: By now, I hope and expect that your cardiologist will have told you not to worry. A “murmur” is just a sound that doctors can hear from the heart, which sometimes means that there is damage to one of the four valves of the heart. Guessing by the terms she used, I think your cardiologist is concerned that you may have calcium (“plaque”) in the aortic valve, which is supported by the sinuses of Valsalva in the aortic root. Calcium in the aortic valve by itself may not cause problems, but it can keep the valve from being able to open all the way -- a condition called aortic stenosis. It isn’t always easy to hear the difference between aortic valve calcification and aortic stenosis, but an echocardiogram gives a very accurate measurement of the aortic valve opening.
If you have aortic stenosis, she will discuss your options, which may include surgery if it is severe. However, if you have the more common calcification without stenosis, she will make sure that your blood pressure and cholesterol levels are controlled and will likely redo the echo in a few years.
-AND YOUR BASIC GEAR USE SUNSCREEN. You only have to suffer from sun poisoning one time to understand the relationship between sun and water. While the water may be cold and temperatures out-side chilly, sun reflecting off the water will still give you a burn. A sweat proof sunscreen that won’t run and sting the eyes is ideal, as is one that won’t leave a greasy residue that could adversely affectyourgrip.

GET A HANDLE ON WORK-RELATED STRESS
Work-related stress is an all too common problem in workplaces across the globe. According to the American Institute of Stress, 80 percent of workers report feeling stress on the job. Perhaps most troubling, nearly half of those people admit they need help in learning how to manage their stress.
The American Psychological Association notes that stressful work environments can contribute to a host of physical problems, including headache, sleep disturbances and short temper. Chronic stress can produce more serious consequences such as high blood pressure while also weakening sufferers’ immune systems. Stress at the workplace also can make it difficult to concentrate, which in turn can compromise workers’ abilities to perform at the peak of their abilities. That supports the notion that stress is a problem for both employees and employers. As a result, finding ways to reduce that stress should be a team effort. Getting a handle on stress can be difficult. Since so many people trace their stress to the jobs they need to get by, they might think it’s impossible to address that stress without derailing their careers. But there ways for professionals to get a handle on their stress without negatively affecting their careers.
