BENEFITS OF HIRING PROFESSIONAL CONTRACTORS
The DIY movement has inspired many homeowners to tackle home repair and remodeling projects on their own. DIY projects can be rewarding, and many homeowners who have embraced the DIY movement have discovered talents they never before knew they had. But no matter how simple popular home renovation television shows make remodeling projects appear, homeowners should know that such undertakings are far more difficult than they appear on television. Homeowners who overestimate their abilities and the time they have to complete projects can cost themselves substantial amounts of money. In fact, there are a variety of reasons homeowners might want to work with professional contractors when tackling home improvement projects.
OASIS
Create living privacy: Living in close proximity to neighbors may make privacy harder to come by. Wood or vinyl fences, however effective, may not provide the all-natural look many people desire. Vertical gardening, which trains easy-care vines like English ivy, Clematis or various climbing roses to grow on trellis or fencing adds greenery and privacy. Hedges and fast-growing shrubs also can be used for natural barriers.

According to current data, the average home price around our area is up 8–15% year-over-year, with homes selling for about 15% above asking. What do you think the local housing market will look like over the next year?

ENJOYING THRILLS AT AMUSEMENT PARKS
Roller coasters are a staple of amusement parks, and even though the first patent for a roller coaster was issued to LaMarcus Thompson in 1885, it’s believed modern roller coasters descended from winter sled rides made popular in the 17th century in St. Petersburg, Russia. Called “Russian Mountains,” these thrill rides took place on icy hills that may have reached as high as 200 feet in the air.

SENIOR NEWS LINE
By Matilda Charles
Retirement regrets?
I was eavesdropping on two senior ladies in a big box store, specifically in the furniture aisle. Being discussed was a very large TV cabinet with doors and shelving. While it was on sale, the price was apparently not enticing.
“I regret not buying a big television back when I had the money for one, before I went on Social Security,” said one.
“I hear that,” replied the other one. “But my regret is moving into a place that’s too small for me to even have a big TV cabinet like this.”
And there I was, enticed. What is it we all most regret now that we’re seniors? I posed the question to AI (artificial intelligence).
Our most common regret, says AI, is that we didn’t save enough for retirement. Or that we didn’t start saving early enough in our lives.
Money was a major theme, according to AI, especially when it came to underestimating health care expenses.
For a different take on things,I turned to my local informal poll group.
The replies ranged from “I regret moving into a community with no sidewalks” to “I regret not getting a cat because now I’ve reached the cutoff age and the animal shelter won’t let me adopt a very young cat because I might die before the cat does.” The third one chuckled, “Well, I regret encouraging my son to take that job across the country because now he’s not around to do heavy lifting.” Another was serious when he replied, “I wish I’d bought a boat. It would be paid for by now. I’d head for the Bahamas.”
If you’re curious about what kinds of regrets seniors have about retirement (especially if you haven’t yet retired and have time to make a course correction in your retirement plans), do an online search for “biggest regrets of retirees,” or something similar.

e Secret of a Poet
By Ralph J. Adams, 97 years of age
Cli on Springs, NY
A poet is made of love, of life and time, And tires to put his feelings into a verse that rhymes. From sunrise to sunset, the miracles that he sees, Is noticed and remember by a poet like me.
With pen in hand, to write down a verse or two, To describe to others, the wonders he sees for you.
So, each morning when you awake, just get up and smile, Just look out your window, for just a little while.
Notice the flowers and trees, bending with the breeze, And see the birds soaring in the air with ease.
Try to remember the beauty, and put them down on pad, And try to explain to others, the inspiration you had.
God has given each one of us, each a special little gi , Maybe your little words, will give someone that special li .
You will be inspired in your soul, and you will agree, You made yourself a poet, like little old me.
If you notice in the morning, the dew upon the grass, e sun emerging in the east, and the shadows that it cast. Crowning every tree with a bright and golden glow, e rainbow a er a rain, with its beautiful colored bow. Trees with their colorful leaves, swaying in the Autumn breeze,
And each little wave that reaches the shore from the foamy sea.
A butterfly fluttering, landing on a tulip bright, A bird singing in a tree, an eagle in its flight. e mountains hued with purple, with their majesty, A background of beauty for the naked eye to see. God has given us these wonders, for all of us to embrace, So, take the time in your day, and try to slow your pace.
To put this picture into words, how gratified you will be, Transferring beauty to others, you will be a poet like me.

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.
ACCLIMATING TO A NEW NEIGHBORHOOD
For a number of people, this may be the year they relocate to a new home or apartment. The moving rate in the United States has remained steady since 2008, with roughly 12 percent of the population relocating each year according to reports from the U.S. Census Bureau.
Movement to the suburbs continues to be high, and renters tend to move more frequently than others. People who move cite a new job or a job transfer as one of the primary motivators to relocate.

EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY
Acclimating to a new home and neighborhood after a move can be challenging. Even after boxes have been unpacked and items put away, some people still feel unsettled. It could be because one of the most important parts of being in a new house is feeling at home. That involves meeting neighbors, having friends over for dinner and knowing all of the local haunts that help solidify a homeowner as a true member of his or her new neighborhood. It can take time to establish feeings of belonging.
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.

Pill Time Solutions
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I read your article regarding the cat not swallowing his medications. My father taught us years ago to teach our puppies to eat wet food off a spoon. Now that the dogs are older and our vet has them on glucosamine and vitamins C and E, we put the pills with the spoonful of wet dog food and voila, they eat it! In fact they look forward to their pill time. I don’t know if the same method would work with a cat, but I would think so. -- Sharon A., via e-mail
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: After reading your column on getting cats to swallow pills, I wanted to share information about a product I found to be helpful in this regard. It is called Pill Pockets, and it is available at many veterinary hospitals and most major pet stores. The product is essentially a treat with an open side to allow the pill to be put inside and then closed up by pressing in the sides. It comes in pouches of approximately 45 treats and in different flavors like salmon and chicken.
My cat loves the treat, and it allows me to give her a pill without any hassle or stress for either of us. It is also available for dogs. Please check it out. Your readers may find this product helpful. -- Elaine B., Belmont, Calif.
DEAR SHARON AND ELAINE: Many thanks to both of you! I received several helpful tips from readers on giving medications to pets, from hiding the pills in food to ordering custom preparations from pharmacists. Sometimes a pet owner will have to try more than one method to see which works best, and I’m grateful to everyone for their suggestions.

PIGS ARE SMARTER THAN YOU THINK
Pigs are valued not just for their meat, but for their brains. Studies have shown pigs can use mirrors, solve puzzles, and even learn basic commands on par with dogs. If you’ve ever raised one, you know they’re curious, vocal, and full of personality. And yes, they love a good belly rub.
The Story Behind Jeff’s Clocks
“If you wait for perfection to start something, you’ll never finish anything. Nothing is too crazy to try. If you have a prompting in your heart, do it.”
JEFF ROETERS
Meet Jeff Roeters, a creative soul whose journey winds through faith, family, music, and the unexpected artistry of timepieces. A Fairport native and Houghton University graduate, Jeff’s journey included successful stints in so ware and as chief operating officer of Tones Studios, a fullservice recording, video, and music marketing company.
For Jeff, Western New York is an environment for the senses. He savors the region’s food scene filled with boutique venues, inventive chefs, and cocktails brimming with local flair. e art, culture, and music scene pulses with energy. Education and events at the Eastman School of Music and Hochstein add musical artistry to the community.
Music and the arts have always been part of Jeff’s heartbeat. Growing up playing guitar filled his spirit and soul and developed his desire to serve others. at’s why he founded Guitars for Glory, a nonprofit placing guitars in the hands and hearts of those in need around the world.
“I believe giving is more important than getting,” he says. “Creating gives life. It lets people flourish beyond their basic needs.” He says its impact runs deep. Music is a timeless blessing for the player and everyone nearby, inviting them to synchronize and harmonize.
at same giving spirit flows through Jeff’s hands into clocks cra ed from vintage film canisters, a unique blend of Rochester nostalgia and personal history. His father spent decades at Eastman Kodak. Years later, when Jeff stumbled on an old Kodak canister, he transformed it into a clock and gi ed it to his dad. Seeing his dad’s reaction made Jeff realize how powerful and meaningful those clocks could be.
Each clock Jeff makes is a time capsule that preserves the memory, grit, and artistry of Rochester’s film history. Every piece is unique and has character and a story, a tangible connection for those who cherish local heritage. Each hand that touches these clocks has a story. If only the canisters could talk, imagine the stories you’d hear. Jeff says, “People love sharing stories when they buy a clock. I’ve met so many, connected with fellow artists, and heard memories that span generations.”
JEFF’S CLOCK ON A SHELF
Creating is also about courage, especially for Jeff. In 2019, he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Building clocks and making music have become therapies for his hands, his heart, and gives him hope. “We all go through things in life we keep to ourselves for a while. But when we share the stories, it lights the way for others.” rough Jeff’s example, others have found the bravery to share their own journeys.
Faith is Jeff’s foundation, he says, explaining, “Jesus is my main inspiration. His example of leading and serving has shaped how I approach life and work.” Family, too, is a constant source of joy, a loving wife, two children (one adopted, one through IVF), and a story of parenthood he honors by being open about his struggles and triumphs. Jeff’s courage as a father and as an artist gives hope and encouragement.
What began as a passion project blossomed into a thriving venture. In just five years, Jeff has sold over 6,000 clocks, with orders from across the U.S. and around the world. From Airbnb owners to famous musicians and Olympic athletes, Jeff’s Clocks are making their mark. He says, “It’s a serendipitous moment walking into a new place and seeing my clock on the wall.”
His business isn’t about clocks or profit; it’s about connection, legacy, and provision. e income helps pay for his children’s education and medical expenses for

his MS treatments. He says, “I want to live a life serving others.” His goal is to grow as a leader and encourager.

Shout Out to e Hemlock Fair
I’m Sorry
You used the center turning lane as a passing lane. I raged out and called you a bad name. You responded in kind. I should have let it go. I am sorry.
Food is Far Too Expensive
Another great fair week in Hemlock this year. Thank you to all who run the fair. My family had a wonderful time. Also a shout out to the 4-H Youth. It was great to see the animals and how well taken care of these animals were. You all did an amazing job. Can’t wait for next year’s fair.
Unbelievable Kindness
Finishing up at Canandaigua Wegmans self-checkout, I found both my credit card and my Shoppers Card were not in my purse. When I told the attendant I had cash, she directed me to the Service desk. There I was asked my name, where upon I was handed both of my cards. They had fallen out of my purse in the parking lot. (Note to self - ALWAYS ZIP YOUR PURSE.) A very good Samaritan had brought them into the store. Whoever you are - a million thanks.
Very Kind People
I was at a local Tops grocery store recently. I use the bus. Had several heavy bags in the rain that day. A stranger with a dark blue van asked if I needed a lift. Went out of her way to get me back home.
Over the past 6 months, the price of groceries has increased exponentially. A 12 oz bag of coffee cost 4 dollars more. A pound of Angus beef increased from $7.50 to $10.00. Produce is expected to increase by 40 percent because there are no longer workers to pick the crops. Times are hard and they will only become worse.
Dog Walkers with No Regards
It is great that you walk your dogs, it is good for both of you. What isn’t great is that you don’t pick up after them. And there are some that do pick up, but decide it is ok to leave the little bag on a lawn or the sidewalk. PICK UP the bag and take it home, or find a dumpster nearby, usually there are plenty of them. It is not right that you leave your mess for others to take care of!
STRANGE BUT TRUE

* It’s illegal to kill Bigfoot in British Columbia. That is, if you ever actually run across him.
* The earliest toothpaste was made in ancient Egypt from crushed pepper, rock salt and dried flowers. No, it wasn’t particularly effective.
* Speaking of toothpaste, that blob on your toothbrush is called a nurdle.

BRAIN-HEALTHY HABITS TO EMBRACE
Cognitive decline is a condition that is often associated with aging, but even middle-aged people can experience memory loss or cognition issues.
The Alzheimer’s Association says that more than five million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. By 2050, that number could rise to as high as 16 million people. More than 747,000 Canadians are living with Alzheimer’s or another dementia, says the Canadian Alzheimer’s Association.
Although there is no definitive way to prevent dementia, living a long, vibrant life may be possible by encouraging some healthy habits for the brain. It is never too late or too early to begin health and lifestyle changes.
Exercise: Becoming more active can improve brain volume, reduce risk for dementia and improve thinking and memory skills. The journal Neurology found that older people who vigorously exercise performed better on cognitive tests than others of the same age, placing them at the equivalent of 10 years younger. Increased blood flow that occurs with physical activity may help generate new neurons in the hippocampus, an area of the brain involved with learning and memory.
The Harvard Medical School says aerobic exercise may help improve brain tissue by improving blood flow and reducing the chances of injury to the brain from cholesterol buildup in blood vessels.
Quit smoking: The Alzheimer’s Association indicates that evidence shows smoking increases the risk of cognitive decline. Smoking can impair blood flow to the brain and cause small strokes that may damage blood vessels.
Eat healthy foods: Foods that are good for the heart and blood vessels also are good for the brain. These include fresh fruits and vegetables,
whole grains, fish-based proteins, unsaturated fats, and foods containing omega-3 fatty acids. Neurologists state that, while research on diet and cognitive function is limited, diets, such as Mediterranean and Mediterranean-DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension), may contribute to a lower risk of cognitive issues.
Consume caffeine: Caffeine may help boost memory performance and brain health. A Journal of Nutrition study found people ages 70 and older who consumed more caffeine scored better on tests of mental function than those who consumed less caffeine. Caffeine may help improve attention span, cognitive function and feelings of well-being. Information from Psychology Today also indicates caffeine may help in the storage of dopamine, which can reduce feelings of depression and anxiety. In addition, compounds in cocoa and coffee beans may improve vascular health and help repair cellular damage due to high antioxidant levels.
Work the brain: Engaging in mentally stimulating activities can create new brain connections and more backup circuits, states Dr. Joel Salinas, a neurologist at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital. Working the brain through puzzles, reading and participating in social situations can stimulate the release of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a molecule essential for repairing brain cells and creating connections between them.
A good way to combine these lifestyle factors is to take an exercise class with friends, mixing the social, stimulation and exercise recommendations together.
Cognitive decline can come with aging, but through healthy habits, people can reduce their risk of memory loss and dementia.
Back-to-School Budget Stretchers
Save Now on Back-to-School Shopping and Services With These Tips and Special Offers!
1. Make a list of the school supplies you need, putting them in order from highest to lowest priority.
2. Go through existing clothes and supplies to determine what can still be used, worn or handed down.
3. Once you’ve determined your needs, create a back-to-school budget. Starting early will allow you to spread out spending over time.
4. Consider secondhand shops for clothing, sporting goods, footwear, backpacks and more.
5. Save your receipts on purchases, in case potential future markdowns allow for a price adjustment or exchange.
6. Look for coupons, and see if your favorite stores offer apps that may feature discounts or loyalty program perks.

POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS HOUSEHOLD CHEMICALS
Antibacterial products: Antibacterial soaps, lotions and wipes may contain triclosan, triclocarban and at least 17 additional ingredients that are linked to various negative health effects. In September 2016, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration banned the use of these antibacterial agents. These chemicals can disrupt hormone cycles and cause muscle weakness.
“There’s no data demonstrating that over-the-counter antibacterial soaps are better at preventing illness than washing with plain soap and water,” the FDA said in a press release issued shortly after the rule was announced.

Physician Bills Patient for Exam But Wasn’t in the Room for It
DEAR DR. ROACH: When I have appointments with my physicians at our local, highly rated academic health system, they no longer do a physical exam. But in the after-visit note, there is a documented and complete physical exam that doesn’t reflect reality. This happened on all types of visits, including annual visits and pre- and post-surgery visits.
If I am examined by a resident, the attending physician will attest in the aftervisit note to having examined me alongside the resident when, in actuality, the physician was not in the room. I find this appalling, but it seems to be common practice. These doctors are billing for services that they do not deliver. Do you see any effort in the medical world to respond to this? -- J.H.
Q. A.
ANSWER: The new electronic medical record systems make it easy to document a complete physical exam, sometimes with a single click. If this happens once, it’s a mistake. If it happens consistently, this is at least a system error, if not deliberate deception. The term used in the industry is “upcoding” because documentation of a complete examination allows for higher billing to the insurance company.
Physicians need to be very careful not to document a physical exam that they didn’t do. A less-kind word for consistently doing this practice is “fraud.” Penalties can be up to tens of thousands of dollars per false claim.
The rules for resident supervision are complicated. In general, billing can only be done for services that are provided by or are under the direct supervision of the attending physician. There are exceptions to this, such as resident physicians who provide primary care. However, once again, saying that you were there supervising the resident when you weren’t is against the law.
Now if the attending physician comes in the room and asks questions to confirm the key findings of your medical history, they do not have to do a complete examination to fulfill the obligations for the primary care exemption.
Outside of primary care, the attending physician must be physically present for the key portions of the services that are being billed.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I saw your recent column about the wife with intractable depression.I can relate,but you barely glanced over what has been life-changing for me as a treatment: TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation).
It is quick, easy and painless, and most insurance companies (even Medicare) fully cover it.To be frank, Doc, not nearly enough suffering people have ever even heard of TMS as an option. Would you illustrate to your readers just a tad more about how powerful it can be as a treatment option? -- R.F.W.
ANSWER: Most people with depression respond well to treatment with a combination of psychotherapy and one of the standard medications, but some people need to try several medications before they find one that works for them. Unfortunately, there are people who do not get good results with medication. TMS is an option in these situations (but you don’t have to fail with multiple medications to try TMS).
Even in people who have failed with multiple medications, about 30% will have a “marked” improvement or a resolution of their symptoms. TMS doesn’t cure everybody, but I agree that it’s a therapy that needs to be more widely used. The biggest problem is that it isn’t available everywhere.
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

CONSERVE ENERGY AROUND THE OFFICE
Determine how much space you truly need. Current business owners and prospective owners can save substantial amounts of money and avoid wasting energy by giving ample thought to how much office space they truly need. Large office spaces may not be necessary for businesses that recently downsized staff, while those starting out may want to start in small spaces before upgrading to larger spaces if and when their businesses expand. Small business owners leasing their office space can speak with their leasing agents to determine if they can include a clause in their lease that allows them to move into larger spaces if the need arises before their existing leases expire.
