real estate
Rental potential and the local labor force: Location is a significant factor to consider when investing in real estate, but recent shifts in how and where people work could change the real estate investment landscape. A 2020 Gartner, Inc., survey of more than 300 financial executives and leaders in the finance industry found that roughly 25 percent will move at least one out of every five of their on-site workers to permanently remote positions in the years ahead. Economists note that this shift to remote working could be among the more lasting trends to emerge from the pandemic.Before investing in real estate,prospective investors should examine local trends to see if more and more locals are working remotely, and whether or not that’s affecting the market for rentals.

A recent study by Javelin Strategy and Research found that even though many smartphones are being used to handle sensitive financial information, only 33 percent of smartphone owners password-protect their devices. If your phone falls into the wrong hands, you could make it very easy for someone to access your personal information and steal your identity.
Review your social network privacy settings. It’s not just advertisers taking advantage of the personal information you include on your social network sites. As the use of social networking continues to increase, it’s expected that the use of malware will rise, too. Cybercriminals are always looking for ways to steal information and money. So you need to review your privacy settings frequently, be careful of what apps you install, and never “friend” someone you don’t know.
Consider getting extra protection. There are a growing number of tools available to help you monitor and protect your identity as well as restore your name and credit, should your identity get stolen. For example, Mobile Rhino is a specialty insurance program that not only insures your device, but also offers an Identity Monitoring Service that alerts you of any changes that could indicate someone else is using your information.

HOW COUPLES CAN BENEFIT FROM HIRING LOCAL WEDDING VENDORS: Local vendors will be familiar with the area and possibly even the location where the wedding will be held. That can help couples avoid having to give directions, discuss venue protocols, and handle other tasks that must be worked out with non-local vendors. For example, local photographers familiar with a particular venue will know all of the best places to get shots, and some vendors may have preexisting relationships with venue representatives that could ensure wedding day operations go smoothly.

Performance pointers that can help student athletes avoid injury
Professional sports teams often note that injuries are part of the game. That notion is never too far from professional athletes’ minds, but it can be a harsh reality for student athletes to confront, especially if they have never before been sidelined by injury. Though there’s no foolproof way for athletes to avoid injury, student athletes and their families can consider these preventive measures to reduce their risk of being sidelined.
• Use diet to athletes’ advantage. A healthy diet benefits people from all walks of life, and it can be especially beneficial for student athletes. Precisely what defines a healthy diet depends on variables specific to the athletes, such as age and gender, but Nemours Childrens Health notes that balance is vital for teenage athletes. Avoid cutting back on carbohydrates, which provide fuel for young athletes. When choosing carbs, opt for fruits, vegetables and whole grains instead of sugar-laden options like candy bars. The latter can provide a quick energy burst but then cause an energy crash that makes athletes feel fatigued. In-game fatigue can increase risk of injury. In addition, calcium and iron can be vital to young athletes looking to avoid injury. Calcium helps strengthen bones while iron carries muchneeded oxygen to athletes’ muscles. Protein is important for athletes, but Nemours notes that most teenage athletes who eat healthy diets already get ample protein. As a result, protein powders and shakes are not necessary for teenage muscle growth.
• Make a good night’s rest part of athletes’ routine. A good night’s rest is vital for student athletes, as it ensures they aren’t playing tired. Tired athletes have slower reaction times and that can increase injury risk. Adequate sleep also benefits athletes’ performance. A 2015 study published in the journal Physiology & Behavior found that athletes who increased their nightly sleep from seven to nine hours experienced significantly improved performance after doing so.
• Emphasize the rules of the game. The rules of the game aren’t in place solely to encourage fair play. Rules also are designed to keep athletes safe. For example, student athletes who play contact sports, including football and soccer, should be taught proper ways to tackle so they can avoid injuring themselves and others. Coaches can reinforce these lessons during practices and even games if the need arises.
• Prioritize offseason conditioning. Rest and recovery is vital for any athlete, but especially student athletes whose bodies are still growing and changing. Offseasons have largely fallen by the wayside, but parents can protect their student athletes by encouraging them to avoid year-round competition. During periods when student athletes aren’t competing, they can forgo inseason workout routines to reduce their risk for overuse injuries while also improving their conditioning through cardiovascular workouts. Running on a treadmill, using an elliptical machine and/or swimming are great activities that make it easy for student athletes to keep their bodies in shape as their muscles and joints recover from the season.

Metformin Can Help All People, Not Just Diabetics, Lose Weight
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 75-year-old woman who isn’t prediabetic or diabetic.My BMI is 31.2.My doctor has prescribed a trial of metformin for weight loss as an alternative to starting Ozempic or one of the other weight-loss drugs. I have lost three pounds in a month, which is a start; exercise and healthier eating is also encouraged.
What are your thoughts on this new weight-loss tool and its possible longterm success? -- J.H.
Q. A.
ANSWER: Metformin, a treatment for diabetes that works mostly by preventing the liver from making sugar, isn’t new and has been used to help people lose weight for at least 20 years. While it was first shown to help people with prediabetes or diabetes, it is also effective at helping people with normal blood sugar lose weight. However, the effectiveness is modest, with most people losing around 2-3 kilograms (about 5 pounds), which is stable as long as people continue taking the medicine.
I certainly agree with the changes in lifestyle. In studies, people who adhere to a healthier diet and exercise are likely to lose more weight than people who take metformin without lifestyle changes.
I’ve had occasional patients who get motivated by the success of metformin, making it easier for them to comply with the diet and exercise changes. I’ve also had people say that the weight they lose with metformin makes it easier to exercise. Metformin is moderately successful in preventing diabetes, but it is not as effective for weight loss as approved weight-loss medicines such as semaglutide (Ozempic).
Some of my patients have read about metformin as an anti-aging drug based on animal data, and there are studies ongoing to see whether this is true in humans. I do not recommend its use for this purpose outside of a clinical trial.
Q.DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m unable to find out from my health care provider’s clinic whether they offer a vaccine for the specific variant of COVID that is now said to be spreading. Do you know if there is a vaccine for this, and who is making it? -- J.A.

Stay updated on recalls
In the world of food recalls and alerts, just when you think you’ve seen it all, something even more scary and dangerous comes along.
We’ve had the “normal” stuff, of course. There was the cheese produced in a facility that had mice and rats.There was the cheese that was recalled for risk of listeria.We had undeclared wheat in chocolate cookies and boxes of cheese crackers that actually contained peanut butter crackers, a potential life-threatening problem for those who are allergic to peanuts.Then there was the undeclared soy and wheat in ice cream. An energy drink was found to contain alcohol because the alcoholic drink was mistakenly packaged in the energy drink cans. Just regular stuff, right?
But it was another one that gave me a chill: instant coffee was found to contain ground glass.
The coffee was sold in 48 states, with only Hawaii and Alaska being left out. It wasn’t just one manufacturing lot that was affected, but three. The company was notified by a customer and immediately issued the recall. I hate to think of the possible injuries that could be caused by drinking that coffee.
A.ANSWER: The Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee at the Food and Drug Administration recommends against a new vaccine formulation this fall, so it appears that we will be using the same vaccine as last year. Fortunately the current vaccine appears to be effective against the new NB.1.8.1 variant,which is now present in all areas that are monitored by the World Health Organization.
The FDA has approved a new, more-effective Moderna vaccine, but at the time of this writing, it has not yet been approved by the Centers for Disease Control. The new vaccine gives high protection with less antigens. However, the specific variants of COVID used for the vaccine will not be updated this year.
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
At the same time, this last week saw consumer products recalls for the charger to smartwatches because they can overheat and ignite, kids’ pajamas that don’t meet flammability standards, jewelry with excess levels of cadmium (which can cause health effects due to skin exposure), heated socks that can cause burns and blisters, a multitool with a blade that can cause cuts and a set of kitchen steps with a safety bar that can collapse.
Whew. It’s been busy in the recall department, and those are only from the consumer products section.
If you’d like to receive email alerts for all types of products (food, vehicles, medicine, consumer products, boats, environmental products, cosmetics), go online to www.recalls.gov and sign up. Other government websites with recalls include www.fda.gov and www.fsis.usda.gov.

STRANGE BUT TRUE By Lucie Winborne
* World War II German interrogator Hanns Scharff’s unusual techniques for extracting information -- which included sharing his wife’s homemade baked goods, cracking jokes, unsupervised nature walks and afternoon tea -- were so successful that the U.S. military later incorporated them into their own interrogation schools.
TOP FORMER BUS 126 ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, 2016. BUS 126 WAS RETIRED AT THE END OF THIS SCHOOL YEAR IN 2017. RIGHT THE INTERIOR LIVING AREA OF KENDALL FEATURES TWO SETS OF BUNK BEDS, A SEATING AREA, AND A SMALL KITCHEN, ALONG WITH OTHER SMALL LUXURIES.
FROM KENDALL TO THE ARCTIC CIRCLE:
Former School Bus Begins a New Life in Finland
BY AMANDA DEDIE, KENDALL CSD COMMUNICATION SPECIALIST
From a small town in New York to the edge of the world, the story of Kendall Central School District’s retired school bus is a testament to adventure, creativity, and the unexpected connections that unite us across the globe.
Formerly known as Bus 126, the bright yellow vehicle once transported students throughout Orleans County. ese days, the bus, renamed “Kendall” as a nod to the district it once served, sits peacefully on the shores of Lake Miekojärvi, having embarked on an unexpected journey to the heart of Finnish Lapland and converted into a lakeside retreat.
e adventure began with a simple message to the district’s website earlier this year: “I have purchased an American school bus in northern Finland,” wrote Joakim Nordstrom, who, along with partner Jennifer Carver, is now the proud owner of the converted vehicle. “On the side
of the bus there are old stickers saying Kendall Central Schools. A er some research, I believe this is your school.”
eir message kicked off a delightful investigation into the bus’s history, which revealed its sale by Kendall CSD in 2019 and eventual shipment overseas. A er being heavily renovated by a previous owner, Kendall the Bus is now being transformed into a one-of-akind arctic getaway for travelers near the Arctic Circle.
“It was a surprise when we found out that one of our buses made it all the way to Finland and is being repurposed and will be used for years to come,” said Kendall Superintendent Nick Picardo. “I hope ‘Kendall’ brings as much joy to others as it did to the many students it greeted each morning with smiles on their faces!”
Plans for the bus’s next chapter include a lakeside terrace, a hot tub, and a redesigned cozy interior. Photos from its time at Kendall CSD will also be featured in the final design, giving guests a glimpse into small-town student life in upstate New York.
“ItisamazingthatabusIusedtodrivehereatKendall when I was a substitute driver has made it all the way to Finland – 3,826 miles and an ocean apart,” said Karen Jones, Director of Transportation. “Now as Director of Transportation, I always wonder what happens to buses once we are done with them. I love that Bus 126 was reinvented into something for people to use for years to come and that a little piece of Kendall history is now in Finland.”
Joakim and Jennifer plan to launch a website and social media channels to document Kendall’s transformation. e district looks forward to following along and seeing how this once-routine ridebecomesaglobalstoryofconnection,creativity, and second chances.
From the streets of Kendall to the forests of Finland, Bus 126 proves that sometimes the ride doesn’t end when the wheels stop turning – it just finds a new road to travel.

woods)
By Mitzi Merrill
My screams, they come in the morning
My screams, they come at night
My screams don’t come from joyful times ey only come from fright.
e mice will run through my cupboards e spiders nest under my sink e bees, they buzz ‘round my awnings
None of these pests make me blink!
But moths, they’re really quite creepy ey’re furry and really shouldn’t fly ey’re hiding behind every warm spot
And dart out and that’s when I cry!
When gypsy moths made a visit
And dropped as worms from the sky, ey turned into moths by the dozen
And I thought I was gonna die!
One flew out from my q-tips
One hid inside my tool
One warmed itself on my lightbulb
And they ended up in my toilet-enjoy the pool!

“My Friend Linda” was a beautiful poem and I cried just reading it. Losing a dear friend is almost as heart wrenching as losing a family member. My sympathy to the author…I know the memories of your friend will always be in your heart.
Country Neighbors
I recently passed by a neighbor’s roadside sign that I thought read ‘fresh veggies.’ I turned around for some zucchini and to see what else they had. Turns out I misread the sign and it actually said, ‘free veggies!’ Thank you for the zucchini and green beans, it made my day and I’ll be enjoying some fresh zucchini bread as soon as it comes out of the oven! Thanks, neighbor!
A Special Young Man
I wish to thank the young man who found my wallet at Marketplace parking area on Aug 4. His father drove him to my house to return it before I even missed the loss (and suffered the search anxiety). What a blessing. You’ve brightened my life, Thank You.
Fun is Too Expensive
I understand prices are high for products and travel and the companies who run county fair concessions and rides need to make money. $5 is not bad to get in but try to eat. Drink. Go on a ride or play a game and you are in for a rude awakening. Fun should not put you in debt or break the bank. Most of the stands and rides had only a couple of people and no lines, they might find making a couple of dollars less would double or triple their sales. example - Two people to ride the Ferris Wheel: $20.00 - we walked away.
Stop Feeding e Varmints
For God’s sake please stop feeding the varmints in the neighborhood!! I know you think you’re being helpful, but leaving food of any sort in your yard is only inviting rodents and such into the neighborhood. I work nights and often sit on my porch late at night and people would be disgusted what creeps around after they are tucked into bed thinking they did a good deed by feeding skunks, rats, woodchucks, etc. And PLEASE turn your spotlight garage lights off at night! It shines down at least 4-5 houses. My retinas are burnt!! Thank you in advance.

Sewing
SEPTEMBER
Sewing can assist you in clearing your mind of daily hassles, allowing you to appreciate the simple things in life.
Creating quilts, clothing, and other masterpieces will always bring you self-satisfaction.
Purchase at our office at 1471 Route 15, Avon, NY OR mail your order form to: Genesee Valley Penny Saver, PO Box 340, Route 15, Avon, NY 14414
A skill that has always existed improves the aesthetics of our homes, shields us from every weather, and ensures we have a good night’s sleep even in the coldest weather. Sewing is that skill. National Sewing Month is celebrated to honor this artistic practice that fashions our bodies and adorns our homes all year. So, grab your needles and start sewing.
Sewing is a fun activity to do alone or with friends, whether you sew from scratch, alter clothing, or repurpose your wardrobe. The Singer sewing machine, the world's most popular sewing machine, was invented in 1851.
Ronald Reagan proclaimed National Sewing Month in 1982.
French military leader Napoleon is said to have pioneered putting buttons on sleeves.
Bindi is an 8 year old Chihuahua who likes sitting on anyone’s lap and getting attention.
Ethel is a 16 year old mix who likes going on walks and playing in the creek. They are both rescues, love treats and reside at the Middlesex Valley Airport.

Pets in history: Heroic dogs and cats
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Thank you for discussing war dogs and their service with our armed forces. Can you highlight some non-military canine heroes, too? -- Jim F., San Diego
DEAR JIM: Absolutely! Dogs have been performing heroic feats for as long as they’ve been our companions. But only a few have made it into the history books. Here are a few that some readers may not have heard of:
Balto and Togo: In January 1925, a diphtheria outbreak threatened the population of Nome, Alaska. To deliver lifesaving serum, teams of sled dogs relayed 500 miles across ice and snow in treacherous weather. Togo led his dog team across the longest, most dangerous part of the relay. Balto, a young and inexperienced husky, sprinted through fierce winds to reach the town in record time. Today, their journey is commemorated each year with the Iditarod sled race.
Riley: A Golden Retriever search-and-rescue (SAR) dog who became the face of SAR dogs in the wake of 9/11. At one point, Riley was sent alone in a basket over a 60foot chasm to search the wreckage on the other side. He was one of many dogs who searched the World Trade Center rubble to recover those lost. Riley died in 2010, suffering various health problems, possibly from his time at Ground Zero.
Buddy: In 1928, this German Shepherd became the first Seeing Eye dog in the United States. Born in Switzerland, she (yes, Buddy was a she) was trained by Dorothy Harrison Eustis, who ran a kennel that trained military and police dogs. Eustis matched Buddy to Frank Morris, a sight-impaired man from the U.S. Morris championed the use of Seeing Eye dogs, demonstrating Buddy’s skill at leading him across busy Manhattan streets.

HOUSEBREAKING PUPPIES
Arguably one of the most challenging - and often frustrating - components about puppyhood is training the dog to use the outdoors for bathroom needs. It’s easy to underestimate the time involved in housebreaking a puppy. The Humane Society of America says puppies typically can control their bladders for one hour for every month of age. That means if the dog is three months old, he can hold it for about three hours.
