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.

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

Air fresheners: These seemingly innocuous products may be doing more harm than good. Information published in a 2015 issue of The Journal of Toxicological Sciences linked air fresheners to volatile organic compounds, or VOCs. They also may contain ultra-fine particles of formaldehyde and phenol. In addition, National Geographic’s The Green Guide states that many air fresheners contain nerve-deadening chemicals that coat nasal passages and temporarily block one’s sense of smell. Many widely available air fresheners use phthalates, which are linked to hormonal and reproductive issues, birth defects and developmental disorders. In lieu of chemical air fresheners, spray diluted essential oils around the house.

Find a location with hands-on activities. Children may grow bored of simply taking in the sights. Vacations that enable them to “do” instead of just “see” may be more enjoyable. Visit locations with “touch” museums or science centers that encourage kids to get in on the action. Historic locales may do demonstrations or reenactments of how life was in eras past. Remember to include children in the family activities and give things a try, such as helping paddle a canoe or light a fire on a camping trip.

Don’t overlook smaller theme parks. While kids may have their hearts set on traveling long distances to the widely popular theme parks, do not rule out options closer to home. Smaller parks may not have every attraction, but they do boast a variety of activities and rides that can keep children occupied for hours. Remember that amusement parks reach peak capacity when kids aren’t in school. It may be wise to vacation at off-peak times to avoid the crowds and save time spent waiting in line.

Choose places of cultural impact. Family vacations do not need to be limited to riding roller coasters. Children can learn a lot and take away lasting memories from vacations that open children’s eyes to something new. Visiting a large city, such as Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, or Atlanta, can be a vacation in education. Metro

Family Friendly Vacation

Old-fashioned family vacations are a treasured rt of many family traditions. Such excursions may be the only time families get to spend any extended time together.

Families have plenty of vacation prospects at their disposal. If this is the year your brood bucks tradition and tries a new vacation destination, explore these family-friendly possibilities.

areas boast attractions that can excite children, including tall buildings, museums and public transportation hubs just waiting to be explored. Families venturing internationally may want to see the cultural centers of Rome, London or Athens.

Consider a family resort. If a beachside adventure is your family’s idea of the perfect retreat, explore your options with regard to family resorts. For an all-inclusive price, these resorts may couple food packages with accommodations and activities to keep families happy. Check with popular hotel chains to see if they offer all-inclusive packages in destinations your family wants to visit. Parents who are pressed for time o en find all-inclusive resorts offer great values and don’t involve too much advanced planning.

Go off the grid. A memorable family vacation does not have to be spent in a the heart of it all. Booking a campsite location and then spending a few days in the great outdoors allows families to get back to nature while enjoying an inexpensive vacation. Families can camp in lodges or basic cabins, or rough it outside in a tent. Some families enjoy the benefits of renting an RV and visiting various campsites on their vacations. Let the activities unfold as you explore different trails and backroads along the way.

DESIGN A GARDEN FOR ALL SENSES

Aesthetic appeal is one of the most sought-after benefits of gardening. However, many homeowners put in so much effort planting for one particular season that they may not give thought to ensuring the garden looks vibrant no matter the time of year.

Gardeners can research planting zones to find plants that will blossom at different times of the year so they can enjoy impressive, aesthetically appealing gardens year-round. Spring bulbs can bloom early on, while annual and perennial summer favorites will thrive under the summer sun. Beautyberry and caryopteris will fill out in the autumn, while holly or mahonia can look lovely in the winter.

Truck Tires

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.

The Senior Stretch

Stretching regularly can help alleviate pain, protect joints, prevent injury and maintain mobility as we age. Incorpora ng stretching sessions into your daily or weekly rou ne is a simple and effec ve way to enhance your health and well-being; a er all, you can do it anywhere, any me, without the need for any equipment. Here are a few ps to help seniors – or anyone – stretch safely:

• Warm up your muscles before stretching by walking or moving around for at least five minutes.

• Stretch gently and slowly, taking in a deep breath and exhaling as you stretch.

• Hold stretches for about 30 seconds, allowing muscles me to relax.

• Avoid bouncing while stretching, and never stretch to the point of pain.

Science-Backed Benefits of Strength Training 5

Experts generally recommend 20 to 30 minutes of strength training two or three mes per week. Here’s why:

Preserve and build muscle.

Muscle mass diminishes with age, increasing your body fat percentage. Strength training can help turn the tables and keep body fat in check.

Strengthen bones.

Strength training increases bone density and reduces the risk of fractures and osteoporosis.

Manage weight.

Increasing your metabolism and muscle with weights helps you burn calories more efficiently.

Maintain flexibility and balance.

Weight-bearing exercise can protect your joints from injury and reduce symptoms of arthri s, while also lowering your risk of falls by improving balance.

Enhance mood and quality of life.

Strength training can help reduce symptoms of many chronic condi ons like depression, back pain, heart disease and diabetes. Research also suggests that exercise may help support cogni ve func on in older adults.

SENIOR NEWS LINE

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.

CHERRY PIE BARS

Yield: One 9-by-13-inch pan

2 cups sugar

1 cup butter, softened

4 eggs

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1⁄2 teaspoon salt

1 21-ounce can cherry pie filling

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a 9-by-13-inch pan with parchment paper.

In a stand mixer, or with a hand mixer, cream sugar and butter on low. Add the eggs one at a time. Beat until just combined.

Add the flour, baking powder and salt. Spread a little over half the cake batter into the pan. Evenly spread the pie filling over the top, and spoon the rest of the cake batter over the pie filling. It’s fine if the cherries show through.

Bake 35 minutes or until the top has turned slightly golden. Do not overbake. Allow to cool and slice into squares. Enjoy!

Sarah Freligh Explores Humanity’s Resilience

AND CAPACITY FOR AUTHENTIC CONNECTION IN TIMES OF GREAT CHANGE

“I love typing and looking up at the sky, which is different in every season and at every hour of the day.”
SARAH FRELIGH

In the warm-lit quiet of a Park Avenue apartment, Sarah Freligh writes. e poet and fiction writer, known for her evocative flash fiction and vivid verse, dra s her stories while looking out across the changing sky above downtown Rochester—a view she says she can’t live without. “I don’t think I can live in a place that doesn’t have seasons,” Freligh notes, describing how the shi ing skyline through her sixth-floor window fuels her daily creative rhythm. “I love typing and looking up at the sky, which is different in every season and at every hour of the day.”

Award-winning author of seven books, countless publications globally, and poetry fellow, Freligh’s newest collection, Other Emergencies (Moon City Press, 2025), spans more than two decades of work, from the earliest story written in 1998 to her most recent in 2024. It’s a testament to perseverance and the incremental art of writing in the margins of a full-time life. “Short stories feel doable,” she explains, reflecting on how she would “add a page or two when I could” while working fulltime.

is slow-burn approach to building a body of work reflects her broader writing process, dra ing a lot in cheap spiral notebooks because “If the paper is too precious, I’m reluctant to muck it up and writing requires you to muck things up before you straighten it out.” Freligh aims to write at least 15 minutes a day, and she usually ends up writing more than that, but even with just 15 minutes, she says, “it’s enough time to write a new page of prose or a poem.”

Freligh’s journey began, as many do, in childhood, with a play she and her sister cra ed. While the production never made it past a few dramatic sketches of “women on balconies looking dramatic,” she says the spark was lit. From those early imaginings to her wideranging current work—poetry, flash fiction, and now a robust collection of longer stories— Freligh’s voice has grown into one that captures nuance, humor, and resilience.

at resilience was forged in part by community. e first writing group she joined, composed of six women, who Freligh says “saved me.” At the time, Freligh had just le a career as a sportswriter and was finding her way through the graduate writing program at Temple University. e group met

sharing work, food, and encouragement. “I kept writing because of them,” she says. Other Emergencies is dedicated to these women.

Among the writers she returns to for inspiration are Elizabeth Strout, for her deeply interconnected communities and recurring characters, Margaret Atwood, whose e Blind Assassin Freligh calls “a narrative tour de force,” and Emily St. John Mandel, particularly for Station Eleven, a novel she admires for centering the importance of art “even in –especially in – a broken world.”

Freligh’s advice to aspiring writers is simple but powerful: “Read everything you can and write a little every day. Find a writing buddy and exchange work. Send it out when ready.” Her words underscore a writing life sustained by attention, dedication, and connection.

From Moon City Press about the Other Emergencies collection: “ e “other emergencies” experienced by Sarah Freligh’s characters range from mildly disruptive to lifealtering. In “All at Water,” a college dropout struggling

with addiction forges an unlikely alliance with a bank teller following a botched robbery. In “A ershocks,” a writer grieving the loss of her support dog is haunted by the memory of what she witnessed on 9/11. In “Happenstance,” two women from different backgrounds form a tenuous connection over the shared experience of their histories. And in “Heaven,” a detective and a high school girl navigate the fraught terrain in the days following a mass shooting in a small town. Ultimately the stories in Other Emergencies revolve around the resilience of people and the capacity for authentic connection in times of great change.”

DID YOU KNOW? If the 1927 song “I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream” by Howard Johnson, Billy Moll and Robert A. King is correct, then the world has been a noisy place for quite some time. Though the exact origins of ice cream are unknown, historians agree this popular treat has been around for a very, very long time. The International Dairy Foods Association says the origins of ice cream may reach as far back as the second century B.C. Though he wasn’t around back then, the fifth Roman Emperor Nero, who ruled from 54 to 68 A.D., might have been so fond of iced treats that he routinely sent runners into the Apennine Mountains to retrieve snow that he would then flavor with fruits and juices. That tale might be apocryphal, but there’s no denying ice treats have been enjoyed for a long time. And based on a 2018 report from Grand View Research, Inc. that projected the global ice cream market would reach roughly $79 billion by 2025, it’s fair to say ice cream will remain popular for a long time to come as well.

Bake 5 minutes then flip and baste other side of shrimp. Bake another 5 minutes. Continue to flip and baste shrimp (2 minutes each time) until shrimp is fully cooked. Do not overcook as glaze can burn. Sprinkle with cilantro, if desired.

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

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.

My name is Yoda and I am 1 year old. My mom and dad did a DNA test and I am part Norwegian Forest cat. I like high places and playing with my brother MOXIE. I don’t meow but I do alot of chattering. I am a foster failure. My mom and dad took care of me when I was still being bottle feed and fell in love with me. So I found my forever home and family.

SILVER LAKE SUMMER SAFETY FOR PETS

Silver Lake is a gem in the Perry area, and it’s not just people who love it, plenty of dogs take a splashy swim during the hotter months. If your dog’s a water lover, make sure they’re wearing a collar with up-to-date tags and that they stay within sight. Be cautious about blue-green algae blooms, which can be dangerous to dogs. After swimming, give them a quick rinse to remove residue and dry them off to avoid hot spots. A lake day can be a great day... with a few simple precautions!

CONSERVE ENERGY AROUND THE OFFICE

Embrace green technology. Many homeowners use programmable thermostats and other eco-friendly tech products to lower their monthly utility costs at home, and businesses can follow suit. LED lighting around the office can substantially reduce office energy consumption and costs, while business owners who own their office buildings might be able to install solar panels that will dramatically reduce energy costs and even pay for themselves over time.

DISTRACTIONS THAT CAN AFFECT EFFICIENCY AT WORK

Smartphones: A 2015 CareerBuilder survey of hiring and human resources managers from various industries found that employers cited smartphones and texting as the biggest productivity killers in the workplace. Professionals no doubt recognize how distracting their phones can be during the workday, and they may feel powerless to avoid them. But they’re not. Alter notification settings so the phone only delivers the most important notifications (i.e., children’s schools, meeting reminders, etc.) during the day. Turn off notifications from news, sports and entertainment apps.
