NOW HERE’S A TIP
Got unexpected company? For a quick, clean look, vacuum the floors and take care of these four things: the bathroom, dishes in the sink, piles of junk on tables or counters and an overflowing trash can. Your house will look great.
polltime
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

SENIOR NEWS LINE
By Matilda Charles
Tuning out the news
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.
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) 2025 King Features Synd.,

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.
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
THE BENEFITS OF BUILDING A STRONG CORE
Build a strong, healthy back: The International Association For the Study of Pain reports that lower back pain has been the leading cause of years lived with disability across the globe since 1990. Lower back pain can be debilitating, but core exercises strengthen muscles in the core, including those in the back. The Mayo Clinic notes that core exercises train muscles in the pelvis, lower back, hips, and abdomen to work together, creating greater balance and stability and contributing to a healthy back.

DID YOU KNOW?
Broadening one’s horizons through crafting can be a worthwhile pursuit. Crafting can serve as a relaxing pastime and provide an opportunity to learn rewarding skills. Learning to crochet is one way for men and women to combine creativity and practicality. Crochet is a form of handwork using yarn and a crochet hook. According to the Crochet Guild of America, there’s no way to know just how old the art of crochet is. However, crochet expert Annie Potter has said the modern form of the art originated in the 16th century, primarily in France and England. Others surmise crocheting traces its origins to Arabia before it spread westward through various Mediterranean trade routes.

When did we own a pickup truck? Recently, we placed old material and debris curbside for our municipal “Clean Up Day”. Upon the next day, we discovered four (4) pickup truck tires added curbside. We do not own a truck! Ugh!
Wonderful Article!
The May 23rd article about the Vietnam Veterans Memorial at Highland Park was excellent. Thank you for sharing it with your readers. I hope it inspires those who have never been there to visit it. We owe a debt of gratitude to those who serve in our military, especially those who paid the ultimate price with their lives.

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.

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT GREYHOUNDS
Retired racing greyhounds may need to be trained, but they’re willing to learn. Sitting, climbing stairs and even playing games can be foreign concepts to retired racing greyhounds. That’s because their training focused on racing and little else. But with time, greyhounds, who typically express a willingness to learn and please their owners, can learn these tasks.

Mary Jane Thynne and the Story Behind Spidar Luv
BY SUZIE WELLS
“Expanding the children’s imagination actually expanded my own.”
MARY JANE THYNNE
A er decades of nurturing children, families, and even shelter animals, Fairport author Mary Jane ynne has finally seen her longnurtured dream take flight: publication of her debut novel, Spidar Luv. Released by Rochesterbased Spirited Muse Press, the novel captures the electric spirit of the 1960s, while exploring deeper themes of fame, love, and self-discovery.
Spidar Luv tells the story of e Spidars, a rock groupwho,attheheightoftheirfame,encounter a hotel housekeeper hiding something. As their lives intertwine, so do the passions, ambitions, and vulnerabilities that come with living through an era defined by rebellion and evolving social norms. is science fiction “fan”tasy is a love story that defies conventional boundaries, echoing the radical spirit of the ‘60s while asking timeless questions about identity, humanity, faith, and the price of fame. e novel includes area connections, especially within Rochester, Henrietta, and Canandaigua, where the author has lived through the years.
A Novel 40 Years in the Making
e author reflects on her unconventional path to publication, explaining that a discouraging experience with her high school Honors English teacher led her to suppress her writing ambitions for years. In her mid-thirties, encouraged by an adult creative writing class, she returned to storytelling. Life, however, had other plans: raising children while her husband worked demanding jobs, then working various jobs herself, and surviving a devastating car accident meant writing had to take a back seat (though she describes her husband bringing a cassette tape a musician mailed, setting her lyrics to music when she was laid up in the hospital definitely gave her hope).
Spidar Luv has been a labor of love spanning nearly half a century. e author first began writing while raising her children and running a home daycare. “Expanding the children’s imagination actually expanded my own,” she recalls, saying a spark led her from rewriting nursery rhymes with her daycare kids (and creating an illustrated book, Father Goose and the Goslings, that Spirited Muse Press professionally published years later in 2007) to dra ing the earliest versions of her adult novels during nap times. To this day, she primarily prefers to initially handwrite while watching the birds and wildlife around the house or relaxing in a comfortable chair.
CANANDAIGUA LAKE
ROCHESTER’S MONROE HIGH SCHOOL
More than a Pseudonym, An Homage
In the 1980s, with records playing on the stereo while the children played, the author was inspired to write, but she faced criticism from her mother-in-law who hoped she wasn’t using her married name for fear of embarrassing the family. So, the author used her middle name and her maiden name when submitting short stories and song lyrics for publication. However, as Spidar Luv began to form, the author felt her own mother, “a very conservative Baptist, might not approve of [the author] soiling the family name,” so she couldn’t use her maiden name either.
She chose the name Mary Jane ynne, not only as a pseudonym but as a tribute to the author’s great-greatgrandmother, the daughter of Lord ynne, the third Earl of Bath. Disinherited for marrying a “commoner” and starting a new life in America with the love of her life, Mary Jane’s story of rebellion resonated deeply with the author. Choosing the name felt right, especially as her novels explore themes the author says would shock and disappoint her mother.
e author uses her real name now on short stories, but her novels are still unconventional, so she says their original copyright under Mary Jane ynne works well. Using a pseudonym, she reflects, has had its benefits—protecting her privacy, honoring her family legacy, and allowing her writing to remain a personal journey, shared only with those closest to her. Yet it has also come with challenges, including difficulty in building a public author platform.
Editing Spidar Luv: A Journey of Growth
“If love is the basis for all actions,” the author says, “then different forms of relationships deserve compassion, not judgment.”
e editing process for Spidar Luv was intense, the author says. e first twenty-five edits served as a crash course in writing techniques shaped by professional feedback. Revisiting the manuscript four decades later, she refined her story further, adding historically accurate references and end notes to root her fantasy in the realrhythmsofthe1960s. rough the revisions, one goal remained constant: to help readers understand that, while the ‘60s lifestyle was unconventional, it wasn’t all wrong.
At its heart, Spidar Luv is about love—not just romantic love, but love of family, love of music, and the love of telling stories that might otherwise go unheard. “If love is the basis for all actions,” the author says, “then different forms of relationships deserve compassion, not judgment.” e author hopes modern readers will connect, perhaps even more than readers would have in the ‘80s or ‘90s. True to her namesake’s legacy, Mary Jane ynne has proven that sometimes, the greatest rebellions are simply acts of the heart.
What’s Next for Mary Jane ynne
Now in her seventies, a mother of two, grandmother of four, and beloved neighborhood “Cheerios Lady” to local pups, ynne isn’t slowing down. She gives of her time and efforts through quilting for the Salvation Army and supports other local organizations.
Spidar Luv is available online through major distributors, but for those wanting to better support the local economy, the author and Spirited Muse Press encourage you to order directly through Lulu.com or by emailing the publisher at spiritedmusepress@yahoo.com. Locals can also find signed copies at the Fairport community garage sale days.

AUTHOR’S CANANDAIGUA HOME WHILE WRITING SPIDAR LUV
SWEET-AND-SOUR BAKED SALMON
Serves 4
8 salmon fillets, about 5 to 6 ounces each
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1⁄2 cup 100 percent pineapple juice
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons rice vinegar, regular or seasoned
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
1⁄8 ground ginger
Chopped green onions for serving
1. Preheat the oven to 375 F. Coat a shallow baking dish with a thin layer of olive or vegetable oil.
2. Pat the salmon fillets dry and place them in the prepared pan. Season the salmon with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
3. In a small saucepan, whisk together the pineapple juice, ketchup, brown sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce, cornstarch, garlic, and ginger. Set the pan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the sauce thickens, stirring frequently.
4. Spoon the sauce over the salmon.
5. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until the salmon is fork tender (a meat thermometer should register 145 F).
6. Reserve half of the salmon for a future meal. Refrigerate up to 3 days.
7. Top the remaining salmon with the green onions, and serve.
Tip: You can make this dish spicy by adding hot sauce or sriracha sauce to the glaze. You can also top the finished dish with crushed red pepper flakes.
Also, this thick sauce is versatile, so it can be used on chicken, beef and shellfish.
MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel
* On May 30, 1431, in Normandy, Joan of Arc, the peasant girl who became the savior of France, is burned at the stake for heresy. Her most serious crime was her rejection of church authority in favor of direct inspiration from God. She was 19 years old.
Each numbered row contains two clues and two answers. e two answers differ from each other by only one letter, which has already been inserted. For example, if you exchange the A from MASTER for an I, you get MISTER. Do not change the order of the letters.
Establish the budget. Homeowners should figure out how many dollars they can designate to a living room makeover before purchasing supplies or hiring out the work. Figure out the scope of the remodel, visit stores or suppliers to price out materials, get estimates from contractors, and then plan for some unforeseen circumstances along the way to determine if this type of renovation is affordable. If not, scale things back until the project more closely aligns with your budget.
“Trees are the best monuments that a man can erect to his own memory. They speak his praises without flattery,and they are blessings to children yet unborn.” - Lord Orrery, 1749

BUDGET-FRIENDLY WAYS TO UPGRADE A LANDSCAPE Plant to create privacy. Homeowners spent more time at home than ever before during the pandemic, and some might have grown tired of seeing what their neighbors are up to. Fencing might be the first solution homeowners consider when looking to make their landscapes more private. But new fencing installation can be expensive, costing homeowners between $1,667 and $4,075 on average, according to BobVila.com. A more costly and natural solution is to plant trees around the perimeter. Speak with a local landscaping professional, who can survey the property to see which trees might thrive and provide the privacy homeowners want.

DID YOU KNOW?
Nursing is one of the fastest-growing and longest-running occupations in the United States and Canada. The New England Hospital for Women and Children, established in 1862, was the first nursing school in the United States. The first formal nursing training program in Canada was established in 1874 at the General and Marine Hospital in St. Catharines, Ontario. The American Nurses Association was started in 1898. The Canadian Nurses’ Association, formerly the Canadian National Association of Trained Nurses, was developed in 1907. These associations are national professional associations representing the hundreds of thousands of nurses across the country and are instrumental in legislative policy and the influences of health care on nursing professionals today.
