WHAT IS A SMART HOME?

Refrigerators that inform their owners when it’s time to buy more eggs and thermostats that learn homeowners’ heating and cooling preferences may once have seemed like futuristic ideas straight out of a sci-ﬁ movie. However, such products are no longer a dream but a reality. The term “smart home” refers to a residence that has appliances, HVAC, lighting, entertainment systems, security, and many more devices that communicate with one another. Such devices can be controlled remotely, according to SmartHomeUSA, an automation product retailer. Proponents of smart home technology say features can help people save money on utilities and conserve natural resources, all the while providing peace of mind to homeowners.

In 2016, 80 million smart home devices were delivered worldwide. That marks a 64 percent increase from 2015, according to the research data ﬁrm IHS Markit. The smart home trend is only expected to grow in coming years.

Although there’s interest in smart home technology, the industry remains fragmented. Consumers are trying to ﬁgure out which devices are simply fun and which provide practical beneﬁts. Furthermore, the range of smart devices is expanding rapidly, making potential compatability issues a concern. Companies that plan to educate consumers further about the advantages of smarthomefeaturesandareopen to standardization may have the best chances of survival. Smart technology is taking over and is likely to continue changing the way people live and work.

Leisure activities may be widely viewed as fun ways to fill up free time, but the benefits of leisure activities extend beyond beating boredom. A 2011 analysis published in the journal BBA Molecular Basis of Disease found that leisure activities have a positive impact on cognitive function and dementia. The analysis, conducted by researchers with the Aging Research Center in Stockholm who examined various studies regarding the relationship between certain activities and cognitive function, defined leisure activity as the voluntary use of free time for activities outside the home. After retirement, leisure time constitutes a large part of many retirees’ lives, and finding ways to fill that time is more beneficial than merely avoiding boredom. The researchers behind the study concluded that the existing research is insufficient to draw any firm conclusions regarding the effects of certain types of leisure activities on the risk for dementia and cognitive decline, though they did note that multi-domain cognitive training has the potential to improve cognitive function in healthy older adults and slow decline in affected individuals. A multi-domain approach to cognitive training involves memory, reasoning, problem-solving, and map reading, among other activities. Aging adults who embrace activities that require the use of such skills may find that they’re not only finding stimulating ways to fill their free time, but increasing their chances of long-term cognitive health as well.

GREAT WEEKEND GETAWAY IDEAS

Soak up the city lights. Big cities tend to clear out on summer weekends, which can make this an ideal time to visit. City visitors won’t have to contend with the sizable crowds that descend on metropolises in winter, when indoor entertainment is in high demand. That means savvy travelers also may ﬁnd discounts on live theater and local concerts. It also won’t be as difﬁcult to book reservations at the latest culinary hotspots, particularly for travelers who book early.

Long nails can be painful for dogs. The experts in holistic care at Dogs Naturally Magazine say that long nails that will come in contact with hard ground can push back up into the nail bed and cause discomfort. Long nails also may cause the toes to twist. Most dogs require their nails be trimmed every two weeks. This time period may be extended if the dog goes for long walks frequently.

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.

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 Brockport student protest following the U.S. invasion of Cambodia 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.

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.

HOW TO BE A BETTER HEALTH CARE CONSUMER

Learn about the benefits associated with preventive care. Many health insurance plans offer rebates to consumers who have memberships at fitness facilities and use those memberships a certain number of times in a set period of time. These benefits aren’t just ways to save money.They’re also powerful motivators to engage in preventive health care, which is one of the best ways for health care consumers to save money over the long haul.

HOW DENTURES ARE FITTED

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

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.

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.

TIPS TO HELP MEN LOOK THEIR BEST: Protect your face. Skin dries with age, but men can take steps to protect their skin and keep it glowing as they grow older. When spending time outdoors, always wear sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30 and, ideally, one that includes moisturizer as well. Exposure to the sun without adequate protection can lead to the formation of lines and wrinkles while increasing a man’s risk for skin cancer. Night creams that contain retinol can help smooth wrinkles and give skin a more even-toned look. Prescription night creams tend to be considerably more potent than over-the-counter alternatives.

THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN PASSOVER AND EASTER

To the casual observer, Passover and Easter may not to seem to have much in common. While the two holidays are celebrated by people of different faiths, they share certain similarities. Both Passover and Easter celebrate fundamental tenets of their respective faiths. For Christians, Easter commemorates the death andresurrectionofJesusChrist,a moment that has shaped the lives of faithful Christians ever since. During Passover, Jews honor a momentinhistorythathelpedfree slaves from captivity and shape them into the people of Israel. In addition, historians believe that the Passion of Christ, which is the short ﬁnal period of Jesus’ life, occurred during the observance ofPesach,orPassover.Duringthis time, Jesus went to Jerusalem in response to a mandate to appear at the Temple. It also is believed that the Last Supper described in all four Gospels was likely a Passover seder. Liberation and rebirth also are at the heart of both holidays.

HOW TO DETERMINE IF IT’S TIME TO DOWNSIZE

Space: Many people love the extra space that single-family homes provide. But seniors can take a walk through their homes and see how many rooms they still use on a consistent basis. If much of the home is unused, seniors can probably downsize without adversely affecting their daily lives.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

How to pack a suitcase: Roll pants and tops, adding to suitcase ﬁrst, toward the handle side. Then add heavy items (shoes, boots) toward the wheel end. Make sure you choose the right size case for the trip; too much room will cause items to shift around.

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.

DISTRACTIONS THAT CAN AFFECT EFFICIENCY AT WORK

The internet: The CareerBuilder survey found that employers believed the internet is the second biggest productivity killer. Professionals with a lot on their plates should do everything they can to avoid surfing the internet during the workday. The internet can be a rabbit hole, and even individuals who only intend to take a brief break from work to check the news or clear their head may soon find themselves moving from website to website while their work piles up. If it’s a mental break you need, get up and take a brief walk around the office instead of surfing the internet.

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.
