Need More Space? Think Room Addition!
When your home no longer supports your daily routine, a room addition could be a smart solution. One common but overlooked sign is the lack of a dedicated workspace. As remote and hybrid work models persist, carving out a quiet, functional home office has become essential. Rather than sacrificing a guest room or kitchen table, adding a tailored workspace can boost productivity and comfort.
Another key consideration is cost efficiency.With home prices remaining high across North America, building an addition can be more affordable than buying a larger property. A well-designed expansion allows homeowners to stay in a location they love while gaining the space they need. Before committing, compare the long-term costs of moving versus

Homeowners should not assume they know how to use all of the tools necessary to maintain lush lawns and bountiful gardens. Familiarize yourself with the proper operation of manual and motorized equipment by reading the owner’s manual thoroughly, making special note of recommended safety guidelines.
Take some time to locate the power buttons and other parts by comparing them to illustrations in the guide. Once you feel comfortable handling the equipment, then you can begin to use it.

Data from the GLSEN® 2019 National School Climate Survey indicates that 59 percent of LGBTQ students felt unsafe at school because of their sexual orientation.Roughly one-third of LGBTQ students indicated they had missed at least one entire day of school in the month preceding their participation in the survey because they felt unsafe or uncomfortable,while just under 9 percent admitted missing four or more days during that span. The survey consisted of more than 16,000 students between the ages of 13 and 21 and represented students from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, and Guam. Results from the 2021 survey will be available in fall 2022. Spirit Day is an effort to highlight and support programming that counters the dangerous effects of bullying of LGBTQ youth.

MEET OUR NEWEST EDITORIAL TEAM MEMBER:
Sophia Kovatch
Dear Readers,
My name is Sophia Kovatch, and I’m the new writer for the Genesee Valley Penny Saver. I’m excited to join the Penny Saver as it works to expand the stories it brings you (thanks to your support!). Having mostly written for websites, I’ve always wanted to work for a publication with its own printing press, so that’s exciting too.
I’ve been writing professionally for over ten years, writing for all kinds of companies and publications. I’ve written for award-winning news outlets and nationally recognized brands, and I’ve spent far too many hours trying to outwit Google’s ranking algorithm. rough these experiences, I’ve learned that the more connected I am to the subjects of my stories and the people who read them, the more fun I have while writing. In joining the Penny Saver, I have a stronger connection than ever to my work, so I expect to have more fun writing than I ever have before.
In my free time, you can usually find me reading a stack of library books or looking for cool birds by Oatka Creek. I also spend time each week teaching storytelling at Adventures & Art in Caledonia and stewarding Akimbo Books on University Ave in Rochester.
You’ll start seeing my byline on more Hometown Stories in upcoming editions of the Penny Saver. I’ll also help bring new kinds of content for you to enjoy both in print and online. I’ve got some ideas, but I’d love to know what kinds of stories you want to read in the Penny Saver. Send in your story ideas to hometown@featuredmedia.com.
All my best, Sophia Kovatch

Building a Solar Future That Works for Everyone
Nick Brown doesn’t measure success by the size of solar arrays or the efficiency of a new turbine. He measures it by people. Workforce Development Program Manager at GreenSpark Solar, he says energy is both a lifeline and a tool for justice. He quotes Sun Bear of the Chippewa Tribe, saying, “ e true measure of a civilization is not how tall its buildings of concrete are, but rather how well its people have learned to relate to their environment and to each other.”
For Brown, this philosophy shapes his approach to the solar industry, in which he says, “ ere is inequity in how people get their energy. If we can provide cost-effective, sustainable power, we help fight climate change while giving everyone a fair shake at affordable electricity.” Brown is candid about who is at risk of being le behind: “Low-income folks. People with money can decide where the energy goes. It’s important that people with fewer resources get their share. Everyone deserves access to energy.”
His perspective is grounded in hands-on experience. Brown’s career began far from solar, with experiential education, residential construction, and environmental conservation. From 2013 to 2018, he co-founded and served as Stewardship Director at Earthworks Institute, a Rochesterbased nonprofit offering expeditionary learning and STEM education for urban youth and families. ere, he helped develop programs to teach life skills, social responsibility, and environmental stewardship. At Earthworks, he helped create education and mentoring programs that built healthy, lasting bonds between land and community.
From 2016 to 2018, Brown also worked as a Career and Technical Education Instructor at the Rochester City School District’s OACES training center, where he taught adult students, including English and non-English speakers, entry-level construction carpentry while providing career counseling, case management, and resume guidance. He says, “I helped students identify career clusters, set 90-day goals, and map pathways into trades work. at experience reinforced that success isn’t just about technical skills; it’s about mentorship, confidence, and helping people understand their own potential.”
A er earning a Master of Professional Studies in Natural Resource Management from SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, Brown applied his expertise to wilderness management in Lake Tahoe/Sierra Nevada and natural resource and conservation management in California. Today, that blend of technical knowledge and community-focused work informs how he builds workforce pathways in solar.
“I’ve had the opportunity to work with formerly incarcerated youth and young people who just need a chance,” Brown says. “I’ve become a bridge between technical information and communicating ideas in ways that help people get employed. No matter the audience, I find a common thread and build off it.”
PartofBrown’smissionisdismantlingthemisconceptionthat trades work is out of reach. “A lot of youth think they can’t do this because they’ve never done carpentry or electrical work. But those skills can be learned. If you can manage a busy shi as a cashier, you already have transferable skills.”
Brown advises people considering a career in solar: “No matter what trade you want to get into, you’re learning a generational skill, something to fall back on. Being trained in a technical skill means you can pass it on to your kids, educate your family, and have self-reliance. Investing in becoming a solar technician means you’re learning a skill that’s not going away. Renewable energy is here to stay, and that skill should provide job security. If you’ve learned how to be an electrician, you can switch to residential or commercial work. If you can strip wire on a solar site, you can do it for a house. You’ll be employable in other trades because you’ve learned the ropes. It’s tough work, but it’s good work, and at the end of the day, you go home knowing you put your stamp of excellence on something.”
Adaptability, Brown says, is the most valuable skill for the next generation of solar workers, saying, “ e scary part of AI is that it can take away people’s ability to think critically. In the field, you need to think for yourself. If you know the how and the why, you can find the solution.”

Brown doesn’t entertain the notion that solar jobs are a politicalfad.“Gettingyourenergyfromsolarismoreefficient than fossil fuels. Your rate per kilowatt hour is lower. e data shows it. is is not about a political agenda, it’s about numbers. You cannot refute numbers.” ey build solar farms ethically, on fallow farmland instead of productive crops, and with community comment periods for some projects, he says. “Every conversation is an opportunity for education.” GreenSpark’s values – people, planet, and profit equally – inform every decision. “ e greater good of the planet comes first,” Brown says.
For Nick Brown, solar is more than panels and power grids. It’s neighbors keeping their lights on during a storm, young workers discovering careers they never imagined, and communities taking energy, literally, into their own hands. It’s about building a future where access, opportunity, and responsibility go hand in hand, measured not by megawatts but by humanity.
“There is inequity in how people get their energy. If we can provide cost-effective, sustainable power, we help fight climate change while giving everyone a fair shake at affordable electricity.”

DID YOU KNOW?
Various organizations urge women to familiarize themselves with their breasts and conduct somewhat routine self-exams so they can uncover any lumps or other issues that may warrant further examination by a physician. Though self-exams can lead to discovery of breast cancer when the disease is most treatable, the World Health Organization notes that as many as 90 percent of breast masses are not cancerous. Non-cancerous abnormalities may be benign masses such as fibroadenoma and cysts or indicative of infection. It’s also important that women recognize that breast cancer is not always accompanied by a lump. In fact, the Mayo Clinic reports that many women with breast cancer never experience any signs or symptoms of the disease. In such instances, the disease is discovered during screening tests, which include mammograms.

Post Office Praise
As I was sending out a birthday gift to a friend, another patron at the post office saved me a few bucks by sharing her gift wrapping to make sure a candle would not break in transport. We then shared a few stories of our loved ones who we were sending gifts to and connected over year-long Christmas trees! It was a special moment of human connection! Then at the window, I didn’t have my package taped shut, and the attendant was extremely patient, kind, and helpful as we got the package secure. Small town connections win!

When we need to try on absolutely every garment, even if we ‘usually’ are a certain size, different brands run different sizing and fit, and even within the same brand, depending on country of manufacture, the exact same listed size can be vastly different from another. It is so frustrating. Yes, first world problem, but it is a lifelong aggravation for sure.
Now that School is in Session
Since schools have started and the school bus comes roughly the same time plus/minus 5-10 minutes, act as responsible parents who are in charge of raising the next generation. Can you have your children out by the road when the bus gets there? Why does the bus need to sit there with the light flashing, honking the horn, and you come to the door in your night clothes acting surprised the bus is there to pick up your children? It used to be if you were not in sight the bus driver would slow down and if you didn’t want to be picked up, you would have to drive your children to school! Grow up; more is caught than is taught, have your children ready for the bus. THANKS to all the patient people who have to wait while you get your act together.
3 strategies that can lower breast cancer risk
Breast cancer affects millions of individuals each year. e World Cancer Research Fund International reports that breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women across the globe, affecting roughly 2.3 million women each year.
Despite the global prevalence of breast cancer, various organizations report high five-year survival rates, particularly among women whose cancers are detected in the earliest stages of the disease. In fact, a 2023 study published in the journal BMJ found that the risk for dying from breast cancer in the five years a er an early-stage diagnosis fell to 5 percent in recent years, a notable improvement from the 14 percent risk of death that was reported in the 1990s.
Increased survival rates for breast cancer are welcome news for women and their families. e higher survival rates are a byproduct of the tireless efforts of cancer researchers, who have also discovered links between the disease and certain lifestyle factors. ough there's no way to eliminate one's risk for breast cancer entirely, the American Cancer Society notes certain variables are within women's control. With that in mind, women can consider these three strategies that can lead to improved overall health and might help women lower their risk for breast cancer as well.
1. Reach and maintain a healthy weight. e benefits of maintaining a healthy weight include a lower risk for heart disease and stroke, and women should know that weight and breast cancer risk are linked as well. According to the ACS, increased body weight and weight gain as an adult are linked to a higher risk of developing breast cancer. at’s particularly so among post-menopausal women. A 2023 study published in the journal BMC Women’s Health found that the chances of developing breast cancer increase among post-menopausal women who are obese.
2.
Avoid a sedentary lifestyle. Exercise is one of the ways to achieve and maintain a healthy weight, so it makes sense that being physically active can reduce breast cancer risk. e National Cancer Institute reports that a 2016 meta-analysis of 38 cohort studies found that the most physically active women had between a 12 and 21 percent lower risk for breast cancer than women who were the least physically active. e NCI also notes that additional studies have found that women who become more physically active a er menopause also have a lower risk for breast cancer than those who do not.
3.
Limit or eliminate alcohol consumption. e ACS urges women who drink to consume no more than one alcoholic drink per day, noting that consumption of even small amounts of alcohol have been linked to an increased risk for breast cancer. Officials with the MD Anderson Cancer Center note that the link between alcohol consumption and breast cancer risk is low. However, the MDACC notes that alcohol can contribute to unwanted weight gain, thus increasing cancer risk. In addition, alcohol can increase levels of estrogen and other hormones associated with breast cancer.
It may be impossible to completely prevent breast cancer. However, women can embrace strategies that improve their overall health in ways that lower their risk for breast cancer.

MAGIC MAZE Answers
“A few more weeks is all I ask, and then I’ll head down south.”
Summer packs her trappings — her floral scents and warmth — and gathers up her greenery, and flocks of birds, of course.
She shuffles off so slowly, casting tender backward glances.
“It’s hard to leave a place you love,” she sighs, while Autumn dances.
Autumn opens his carpet bag and shakes his clothing out. With cap of yellow, coat of gold and brown, gloves of orange, and boots of red he struts ‘round field and town.
All alone, he paints the scene with carefree, wild abandon: no hue’s too bold, no shade’s too bright, there’s no concern with clashing.
He dabs at first, then paints a swath, then flings whole bucketsful!
e hills and dales are glorious in Autumn’s peerless fashion.
One night he slyly sets aside for “Autumn’s Grand Finale.” We’re fast asleep when out he creeps and seeds the earth with glitter.
“Wake up!” he shouts, when Dawn peeks out and sets the clarions a-twitter.
“Look what I’ve done! Is this not grand? It’s beauty that I’m a er!”
e sun beams down and out we troop to marvel at the splendor.
en one chill eve he hears a knock and calls, already knowing, “Who’s there?”
“Guess who!” howls Winter, hoarily, “Good gracious, how it’s snowing!”
SENIOR NEWS LINE
By Matilda Charles
Yes, you can turn off the news
Several months ago I took a “short” break from watching the daily news -- except that break wasn’t so short after all when I extended it to over a month.
Then, wanting to continue with the peace that came from not being hooked into the daily news cycles and media hysteria, I set my phone to send me alerts with short blurbs about important news. I could quickly scan the few lines of the alert, catch up and be done with it. That’s worked well these past months.
Except it doesn’t keep people from calling me to ask if I’ve seen a certain piece of news or telling me to quickly turn on the television. The bigger the news, the more people who call.
I’ve advised more than one upset person to turn the television off and not turn it on again for an hour or two. After a serious event, news stations will continue to hash over the same initial information, even if they don’t know anything new. Nothing good can come from hearing the same bad news over and over.
There’s more to it than just keeping up with what’s going on. If you’re having trouble sleeping, if you’re stressed all the time, if you’re afraid or angry -- all these things can be a result of watching too much of the news.
If you have high blood pressure and a home monitor, keep track of it as a way to spot whether any spikes in your BP coincide with events you’ve watched on the news.
If you have a cellphone, there are several free news apps you can use that will alert you to events.

PROTECTIVE FACTORS FOR BREAST CANCER
Decreasing the length of time a woman’s breast tissue is exposed to estrogen may help prevent breast cancer. Exposure to estrogen is reduced in the following ways:
• Early pregnancy: Estrogen levels are lower during pregnancy. Women who have a full-term pregnancy before age 20 have a lower risk of breast cancer than women who have not had children or who give birth to their first child after age 35.
• Breast-feeding: Estrogen levels may remain lower while a woman is breast-feeding. Women who breastfed have a lower risk of breast cancer than women who have had children but did not breastfeed.

Cats are stealth and lovable but somewhat unpredictable. Ancient Egyptians revered cats for their companionship and ability to keep dangerous creatures such as poisonous snakes, rats and scorpions at bay. The Egyptians were among the first peoples to domesticate cats, and now thousands upon thousands of people share their homes with feline companions.
“Appreciation
A Talking Cat?
By Sam Mazotta
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Whenever I’m having a conversation with my friends or talking to my mom, our cat “Jasper” stands right in the middle of our group and meows. If we stop talking, he stops meowing. What’s going on? Is my cat trying to talk? -- Victoria L., Canton, Massachusetts
DEAR VICTORIA: Sort of! Although it’s probably because Jasper sees a bunch of humans gathered together, all of whom have thumbs and can therefore open a bag of treats for him.
Cats vocalize with humans more than they do with other cats. Much more. Researchers (and owners) have figured out that they meow at us a lot because it prompts us to give them food,treats and snuggles -- even though we have a harder time understanding cats’ meows than other animal noises. They’re very perceptive, these housecats, with not much to distract them from observing us all the time (especially since so many of us work from home these days).
They’ve figured out our daily schedule better than we have. I have a cat who hops on my lap and starts head-butting my smartphone exactly at bedtime. He gets his little snack, and I get eight proper hours of sleep. And if I get home late? Oh, the silent treatment I receive. It’s the complete opposite of meowing, and just as manipulative.
Like you, I’d like to think that Jasper is just trying to get in on the excited conversation going on all around him. That could be the case. It could also be Jasper’s realization that big gatherings of humans usually involve food ... and if he stays underfoot, some of that deliciousness will come his way.

Eligard Injections Cause Man To Develop Breast Tissue
DEAR DR. ROACH: I have been treated for prostate cancer and stopped my semiannual Eligard injections three years ago. I’m 75 years old and about 5 feet, 9 inches tall. Before treatment, I weighed 227 pounds; I currently weigh 209 pounds. My testosterone level is 49.6 ng/dL. My breasts have become somewhat feminine.
My question is: Will they regain their normal appearance? I’m losing weight slowly, and I’m trying to build muscle with weights. -- Anon.
ANSWER: Gynecomastia is the growth of male breast tissue, specifically when not due to breast cancer. It can happen during puberty in healthy males, but it is a common side effect of androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer. Up to 75% of men treated with antiandrogen therapy like leuprolide (Lupron or Eligard) will develop breast tissue.
It isn’t likely that the breast tissue will go away on its own.For men who want treatment due to the appearance or tenderness of the breast tissue, there are radiation, medication and surgical treatments available. Radiation therapy is the most effective for men who develop breast tissue with androgen-depletion treatment.
Tamoxifen is the usual medical treatment, and you may ask the physician treating your prostate cancer about these choices. Men who can’t take or choose not to take either of these treatments can be referred for surgical treatment, which can be liposuction or a mastectomy.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 74-year-old active male currently taking a daily 81-mg aspirin due to a periodic heart arrythmia. I have elective sinus surgery scheduled, requiring that I be under a general anesthetic for 90 minutes and that I be off aspirin for the two weeks preceding the procedure.
I’m beginning to have second thoughts about the surgery as I wonder if I’m risking a stroke. Would you please share your thoughts on this? Thank you. -- R.B.
ANSWER: Aspirin is used in some people with atrial fibrillation (the likely heart arrythmia you would be put on aspirin for) when they are at a low risk for a stroke.
There is a score called the CHA2DS2-VASc that is used to estimate risk. People at a higher risk are recommended anticoagulants such as apixaban (Eliquis). Since you are 74, you get at least one point for your age, and unless you have another risk factor that I don’t know about, you have an estimated risk of stroke without treatment of approximately 0.6% per year.
While it is true that being off aspirin for a period of time around a surgery increases your stroke risk, your risk is already so low that the absolute risk of being off aspirin for two weeks is quite small. You should always consider the risks of any surgery against the benefits, but the risk of stroke in your case is small compared to the risks anyone has with sinus surgery (such as bleeding or an infection).
I am a little surprised about it being two weeks; normally when a person comes off aspirin before surgery, it’s for five to seven days. Also, not all surgeons require aspirin to be stopped before sinus surgery.
Since your reason to be on aspirin is to prevent a stroke due to your arrythmia, and this risk appears to be very small, it may be that the surgeon determined the risk of stopping aspirin was so small. So, it wouldn’t be worth the possible increased risk of bleeding from the sinus surgery if you’re still taking aspirin.
If you haven’t talked to your regular doctor or cardiologist about this, I recommend doing so since I don’t have your full medical history.

HEALTH CARE SCREENINGS FOR MEN BETWEEN THE AGES OF 18 AND 39
Diabetes: Risk factors and warning signs will dictate if men between the ages of 18 and 39 require diabetes screening. For example, the U.S. National Library of Medicine notes that a BMI over 25 is considered overweight, which is a risk factor for diabetes. Men who fall into this category should be screened for diabetes starting at age 35 (the USNLM urges Asian American men to be screened if their BMI exceeds 23). Providers also may test men’s blood sugar levels if their blood pressure is 130/80 or higher and/or if they have a first degree relative with diabetes or a history of heart disease.

DISTRACTIONS THAT CAN AFFECT EFFICIENCY AT WORK
Meetings: Meetings may be well-intentioned, but they often compromise productivity and distract professionals from their jobs. A recent study titled “Meetings in America” commissioned by Verizon Conferencing found that 90 percent of professionals admitted to daydreaming during meetings, while 39 percent admitted they had fallen asleep during meetings in the past. Managers can help employees get more done and limit distractions by scheduling fewer meetings or reconsidering just who needs to attend meetings more carefully.
When leaving a job, it is important that professionals exhibit a certain measure of grace and etiquette. Leaving a job with dignity and mutual respect can benefit professionals in the short- and long-term.

Hormone therapy with estrogen only may be given to women who have had a hysterectomy. In these women, estrogen-only therapy after menopause may decrease the risk of breast cancer. There is an increased risk of stroke and heart and blood vessel disease in postmenopausal women who take estrogen after a hysterectomy.
