BUDGETING FOR LONG VACATIONS
ABROAD
Calculate pre-trip prices: Start shopping destinations to see which locales align with your budget. Compare and contrast estimates as to how much each destination may cost on a daily basis. Prices can vary widely depending on the destination, and this is a great way to some pre-trip notion of what your dream trip will cost.

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel
* On March 30, 1981, President Ronald Reagan is shot in the chest outside a Washington, D.C., hotel by a deranged drifter named John Hinckley Jr. Hinckley had a pathological obsession with the 1976 film “Taxi Driver,” in which the main character attempts to assassinate a fictional senator.
DESIGN A GARDEN FOR ALL SENSES
The lively sounds of the garden are created by the wildlife that come to pollinate and enjoy the environment gardeners have created. By choosing indigenous plants, gardeners can be sure that insects and small critters will seek refuge within the foliage.
Songbirds also will add character to a yard. The Audubon Society suggests including a water source and a songbird border of shrubs along your property’s edge. Provide food sources and make sure they are located a fair distance from the main action of the yard so as not to scare off birds. Wait for musical chickadees, goldfinches, orioles, and cardinals to arrive and enjoy the accommodations.

Tips for Keeping Kids Safe During Home Renovations
Home renovations, especially larger ones, can be risky for young children due to their natural curiosity. To keep kids safe, it’s essential to communicate with contractors about the presence of children in the home. Contractors can take extra precautions by sealing off rooms and keeping tools and debris out of reach, particularly at night. Additionally, parents should set clear boundaries by informing their children that certain areas are off-limits and explaining the reasons behind this rule to make it more effective.
Parents should also lead by example, avoiding any temptation to sneak into renovation spaces when contractors are gone. If you’re curious about the project, schedule a tour when the kids are at school or with you. At the end of each day, ask the contractor to turn off the electricity in rooms being worked on to prevent any accidental injuries. Once the renovation is complete, hiring a professional cleaning service ensures that all remnants of the project, such as nails or debris, are removed before the kids use the space. These steps can help ensure a safe environment during the renovation process.

East Rochester/Penfield kindness
Thank you to the kind gentleman at the Penfield Wegmans who offered to buy my grocery items on the conveyor belt before knowing the cost because they hadn’t been rung up yet. It was baseball season, and I was wearing a pink NY Yankees cap. It meant a lot to me.
Also, during Christmas week, at Leo’s Bakery, a very nice gentleman in line saw that my credit card was rejected by the machine and offered to pay for my holiday cake. He saw that his good deed would help move the line along faster. He did not know the total amount!
Penfield and East Rochester people have kindness in their hearts. Thank you both!
Helpful Volunteers
Thank you to the VITA tax volunteers at the local college. Taking the time to prepare taxes for seniors free of charge is a blessing. Meant a lot to me and I’m sure others. Very grateful to these college students for their time and their knowledge.
Need to stop venting, take action
After reading BURNING GARBAGE IS ILLEGAL, I felt the need to submit my own Vent. This person needed to call their local Fire Marshall regarding the person illegally burning, not just write a Vent. People don’t like to involve themselves so they complain about situations instead of phoning authorities who would investigate and issue fines and penalties. I applaud those citizens who do take appropriate action and not just keep complaining. Authorities are not going to disclose the name of a person who called them.
Dogs in Cafés
I went to a local café and they were allowing non service dogs inside. If they were truly service dogs or service dogs in training, I fully understand allowing them to be there. But trying to eat while listening to a yapping puppy and watching a larger dog almost knock over the owner to get to the puppy was not the most pleasant way to enjoy some coffee and food. There is outdoor seating so if you feel the need to bring your non service, non trained dog to a restaurant/café then that is the place for you to sit.

Mikaela Engstrom
RIT SPORTS PHOTOGRAPHER EMPOWERS WOMEN IN SPORTS WITH HER PLAYBOOK BLOG
BY NIKKI LO N G
For many, sports photography is about capturing the action—the split-second shot, the game-winning goal, the raw emotion of victory and defeat. But for Mikaela Engstrom, it’s about something more. It’s about ensuring the women who shape the sports world are given the spotlight they deserve. rough her blog, Her Playbook, women in every aspect of sports—from athletes, creatives, equipment managers, and more— share firsthand experiences from their careers while inspiring the next generation of women in sports.
CHASING THE SHOT
Engstrom’s journey into sports photography began in high school, where a yearbook class first introduced her to the possibility of working in the sports industry. “I wasn’t aware at the time that I could work in sports as a career,” she recalls. “It’s been my goal ever since.” Her dream job? Working for the Professional Women’s Hockey League or National Hockey League, or as a director of photography for a Big-12 university.
Engstrom, who currently studies photography at RIT and serves as the student supervisor of photography for
the university’s athletic department, has “loved every moment of working in sports so far…Each experience has allowed me to push my work and knowledge of each sport that I shoot.”
GROWING THE GAME
Her Playbook began as a class photo project, but it quickly turned into something much bigger. “ e assignment was to make work about what inspires you,” she explains, “and I am continuously inspired by the many different kinds of women I’m surrounded by in the sports community.”
rough her work in sports photography, Mikaela noticed an underrepresentation of women in sports media. She wanted to create a space where women in sports—whether they play, coach, work behind the scenes, or are simply fans—could share their stories. Her Playbook became that space, a platform dedicated to amplifying the voices of women in sports and providing young girls with role models who prove that they, too, belong in this industry.
“I made this platform for my younger self and all other girls in sports who are looking for an athlete, coach, or creative like them and want to know how they got there,” she says. She hopes “young girls can use this as a resource to understand that women do have a place in this male-dominated community and that they can get to where they dream of being as well.”
Eventually, Mikaela hopes to organize virtual and inperson discussions with women in sports, offering aspiring professionals the opportunity to learn directly from those who have paved the way.
ADVICE FOR WOMEN PURSUING SPORTS CAREERS
For women looking to break into the sports industry, Mikaela has one key piece of advice: “Just keep going.” It’s easy to let a negative comment shake your confidence, but she encourages you to push through those moments and prove why you belong. e sports industry, like many others,canbechallenging,butresilienceandperseverance will set you apart. Every setback is an opportunity to grow, improve, and prove not only to others but also to yourself that you are capable and deserving of success.
Share your original stories about local heroes, community events, school achievements, or hidden gems–email your story idea to hometown@gvpennysaver.com!
Another piece of advice she has for anyone wanting to work in sports—not just women—is to take the initiative in building connections with those you admire and aspire to learn from. Reaching out to professionals in the field may seem intimidating at first, but networking can be one of the most powerful tools for growth. While not everyone will respond, many will, and more o en than not, they will be willing to offer guidance, share their experiences, and help you succeed.

in Eye Proves To Be Incredibly Distracting
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 67-year-old male with generally good vision. I’ve had a few floaters in my eyes over the years, but they have generally been small and have not significantly affected my vision. However, about six months ago, I suddenly had a large floater appear in one of my eyes that did affect my vision. It is right in the center of my field of vision and is very distracting.
I had a checkup with my optometrist soon after, and she said there were no major issues with my eye. She said that my brain would adjust to the floater so I would not notice it as much. However, six months later, I still find it very distracting. I frequently have to move my eye to try and get it out of my center vision so I can see clearly. Are there any treatments that can be done to remove distracting floaters? -- D.H.
ANSWER: ”Floaters” are bits of cellular debris in the vitreous humor, which is the gel-filled space in between the lens and the retina. The sudden appearance of floaters can represent serious eye disease, such as a detached retina, so it was wise to get an evaluation when you noticed a sudden change.
The eye does not have a way to remove floaters, so you will have them as long as you live unless you do something about it. As your optometrist said, they don’t bother most people; however, several of my readers over the years have been so bothered by floaters that they have undergone surgical vitrectomy. This is the removal of all the gel material from the vitreous cavity, including all (or nearly all) of the vitreous opacities that cause floaters. Published complication rates with this procedure are less than 1% in experienced hands.
I have also read about using a laser to break up large floaters into smaller and presumably easier-to-ignore pieces, but I have no personal experience with this. In addition, the literature is mixed.
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

Make a household favorite more healthy
Many beloved dishes might be enjoyed more often if they were only a little healthier. Author and former personal chef Michelle Dudash was once asked by a client if the she could make a healthier version of chicken parmesan. The result of that request is the following recipe for “Skinny Chicken Parmesan with Spinach,” which Dudash ultimately included in her book, “Clean Eating For Busy Families” (Fair Winds). The recipe was a hit with Dudash’s client and will surely be a hit at home cooks’ dinner tables as well.
Skinny Chicken Parmesan with Spinach
Makes 6 servings
For the sauce:
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 28-ounce can whole tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
2 pinches salt
2 pinches freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon honey
For the chicken:
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons whole-wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
11/2 pounds chicken breast, cut into 6 pieces, pounded to 1/4 inch
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
4 cups baby spinach
1 teaspoon lemon juice
3/4 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced into 6 medallions (or shredded)
6 cups cooked whole-grain thin spaghetti tossed in 2 teaspoons olive oil
Preheat oven to 375 F and coat the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch pan with olive oil spray.
To make the sauce: Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add oil and garlic and cook gently for 30 seconds. Do not brown. With your hand, squeeze each tomato into the pan and add basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and honey. Reduce to medium heat and simmer for 20 minutes, lowering the heat as needed.
To make the chicken: Combine parmesan cheese, flour, salt, pepper, and basil in a medium dish and coach chicken with cheese mixture. Place a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of oil. When oil is shimmering, add chicken, rounded-side down, and cook until golden on one side, about 5 minutes. Arrange chicken in a baking pan. Pour remaining 2 teaspoons of oil into skillet and add spinach. Cook spinach for 1 to 2 minutes until wilted and swirl in lemon juice. Gently press spinach to release water and divide spinach on top of chicken. Spoon sauce around and over the chicken, place mozzarella on top, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bake for 15 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Serve over spaghetti.

Starting a Garden Indoors
The many feet of snow on the ground where I live is an indication of just how far I am from starting a vegetable garden this year. However, it’s not too early to start vegetable seeds indoors.
Not all vegetables are good candidates for starting inside from seed (root vegetables such as carrots won’t do well started in shallow containers), but peppers, onions and spinach are good candidates to start indoors. Later, I’ll add seedlings for more variety, including marigolds to repel garden pests.
On my to-do list:
Schedule the guy with his tiller to come break up the ground in a month. There’s no sense in renting a heavy machine I’ll have no way to operate.
Order a load of mulch for delivery later to be spread for weed control and preserving moisture in the soil.
Cut the milk cartons I’ve saved over the winter into seed germination pots. A 3-inch depth will be deep enough -- and they’re free. A layer of plastic wrap will serve as a humidity dome.
Collect from my neighbor all the ice-pop sticks her grandchildren have left so I can use them as plant markers.
Be sure the indoor grow light works, that I don’t need a new bulb.
But most fun of all the things on my to-do list will be choosing the seeds and deciding what to grow. Catalogs have been arriving (they all also have websites), each more beautiful than the last.
If you have no yard, consider container gardening. If you have a sunny location, you can grow peas, strawberries, lettuce, potatoes, spinach and so much more right outside your door. Do an online search for “container vegetable garden” for advice on the size of containers to use, the type of soil and a list of vegetables that should not be planted next to each other.

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.

Stray cat advice stirs up pet owners
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I received quite a few responses to my recent article on a stray cat that was being fed by a neighbor! Here are a couple of them from opposite sides.
DEAR PAWS: Bad advice in your article regarding stray cats. The complaining neighbor never mentions she has a cat while expressing concern for neighbor cats. This means she’s a busybody or a cat hater who should mind her own business. Why should she care if the cat feeder buys specialty food? Not her business,and you should have said so.
Your answer mentions contracting FIV. This is a small risk. If cat owners are worried about disease, they should keep their cats inside. You didn’t mention that the complainer could help by getting involved with TNR [trap-neuter-return], by working with the feeder to help the homeless cats. There are proactive ways to help.
You should have commended the person who feeds the cats for helping. We need more people like her and less like the person who was complaining. -- Debbi J.
DEAR PAWS: I completely disagree with your answer to feeding outdoor stray cats. Those cats would not be strays if PEOPLE would act like grownups, spay and neuter their pets and stop dumping cats whenever they feel like it.
One unspayed female dumped outside will struggle to survive and can have two or three litters a year. Her babies will be feral because they don’t have human contact. At three months of age the kitten can also reproduce. There could be 40 or so by the end of the year. Relocating them does not work. A trap/neuter/return program reduces their numbers humanely.
Getting a pet is a 15- to 20-year commitment. If you can’t do it, then don’t acquire a pet and certainly don’t dump them. -- Linda G. © 2025 King Features Synd., Inc.
Mila loves camping, car rides, sardines, and hanging with her besties at the dog park. She is extremely funny and loving. One of a kind!

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.
