drivers can brush up on their driving skills with AARP Driver Safety’s course, which is specifically designed to help people 50 and older refresh their driving skills. To find a classroom course near you, call 888-227-7669, or visit www.aarp.org/findacourse; or sign up for an online course. Courses are available in English or Spanish. Second, family members should observe an older loved one’s driving by taking a ride as passenger and keeping an eye out for warning signs. It’s important to look for changes in driving abilities. These signs include: • Frequent “close calls” or near-crashes • Unexplained dents or scrapes on vehicles, fences, mailboxes, garage doors, etc. • Getting lost, even in familiar locations • Difficulty seeing or following traffic signals, road signs and pavement markings • Slower responses to unexpected situations, trouble moving the driving foot from the gas to the brake, and confusing the two pedals • Misjudging gaps in traffic at intersections or on highway entrance and exit ramps • Experiencing road rage or inspiring it in other drivers • Easily becoming distracted while driving • Difficulty turning around to check the rear view while backing up or changing lanes • Receiving multiple tickets or warnings from law enforcement officers. Third, if you notice a pattern of warning signs and an increase in frequency, then it’s time to initiate a conversation. It’s important to choose the right time, place and messenger. “It’s important that the

right person initiate the conversation,” says Jodi Olshevski, a gerontologist and assistant vice president at The Hartford. “Research indicates that 50 percent of married drivers prefer to hear about driving concerns from their spouses first, then doctors and finally adult children. Whoever initiates the conversation should have a strong rapport with the older driver. “ “Whoever it is should be empathetic, armed with facts about her driving and able to offer ideas for alternative transportation if needed,” Olshevski advises. Avoid bringing up the topic of driving during family gatherings. Instead, look for a quiet, private time when all parties involved will have privacy and minimal distractions. If it’s time to initiate a conversation with a parent or spouse about driving, AARP Driver Safety’s “We Need to Talk” seminar can help. Developed based on information created jointly by The Hartford and MIT AgeLab, the free, online seminar helps caregivers and those with an older loved one initiate productive and caring conversations about driving safety. To take the free seminar, visit www.aarp.org/weneedtotalk, and to download or order a free guidebook, visit www.thehartford.com/lifetime. While many older Americans are staying safe on the roads and driving longer than ever before, for some, healthrelated changes in vision, hearing, flexibility or cognitive function can make them less safe behind the wheel. With planning, preparation and sensitivity, families can help make the transition from being a driver to being a passenger a bit easier for older drivers and those who love them.

Cash back, low-interest financing available through home performance with ENERGY STAR® If you see ice build-up and icicles hanging from the eaves of your home, you may have an ice dam, a major cause of roof leaks and energy loss in winter. Take steps now to prevent ice dams, recommends the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). Ice dams usually occur after a heavy snowfall and several days of freezing temperatures. Warm air inside your home leaks into the attic and warms the underside of the roof, causing snow and ice on the roof to melt. The melted water drains along the roof to the cold overhang and refreezes, forming an ice dam and icicles. The ice dam enables the trapped water to get under the roof shingles, causing water to leak inside. If you already have an ice dam problem, hire an expert to solve the immediate issue. Don’t climb on your roof, and avoid standing on the ground and “chipping away” at the ice. Not only could your chipping damage the roof, but you can be seriously injured by falling ice, debris or tools. NYSERDA recommends the following ice dam prevention tips: Seal air leaks and take care of insulation and ventilation. • Seal air leaks and duct air leaks in your attic to stop warm air leakage, the source of ice dam problems. After sealing leaks, add additional insulation in your attic.

• Provide adequate attic ventilation so the undersides of the roof and outside air are at the same temperature. Check to make sure attic insulation is not blocking roof ventilation. Incorrect ventilation can cause mold and mildew problems. Clean gutters. • If you didn’t clean leaves and other debris from gutters before the first snow, see if you can have it done now. This will help prevent ice build-up in gutters. Hire a participating contractor. • Hire a participating Home Performance contractor accredited through the Building Performance Institute (BPI) to conduct an in-home comprehensive energy assessment. The comprehensive home energy assessment will not only suggest specific home improvements to prevent future ice dams, but will also recommend ways to reduce energy use, save money and improve the health and safety of your home. • This “whole house” approach can cut total energy costs by up to 40 percent, saving a homeowner up to $700 annually. NYSERDA provides financial incentives and financing options with low interest rates to help pay for energy efficiency improvements. For information on NYSERDA’s Home Performance with ENERGY STAR program and a list of contractors, visit NYSERDA’s Residential Program pages.

Hello Again

Comment: I could add villages along the canal — busy with dependable local trade: farm families and local business owners. Even the banks were locally owned. Those were the days my friends, we thought they would never end. And it is too bad, they did nearly end. I often stop to wonder about God. How did he ever create such a beautiful place as our valley? I’m grateful he did and allows you and me to live here and enjoy it.

Issue of Nov. 17, 2012: Don’t stand around doing nothing unless you want your neighbors to think you have a government job. Comment: Have you ever wondered why so many think government employees do not work very hard? Yet we know this is not true. Many wonderful hardworking people have spent their lives working for our local, county, state, and federal governments.

Comment: Amen and amen. February 6, 2013 Issue of Dec. 20, 2010: I thought it might be fun to pick bits and pieces out of the last three years of Hello Again and add a few comments. Let’s see what we chatted about starting with the opening paragraph of July 19, 2010. Issue of July 19, 2010: Forty-five years ago our family said hello to the Mohawk Valley with the 1st issue of the Pennysaver. That issue was mailed during a snowstorm in January of 1965. Comment: The thruway was closed at Canajoharie. The high school gym floor was covered with sleepers. Route 10 was completely blocked with snow and remained blocked for a few days. Issue of Sept. 2, 2010: While out checking on delivery of your paper (The Original Valley Pennysaver), we ran into a “one picture is worth a thousand words” situation. We passed a farmer with his horse and buggy delivering three cans of milk. He was sitting in his buggy while climbing a hill reading his Pennysaver. Comment: This is what memories are made of. Issue of Sept. 27, 2010: We are not just people. We are God-believing, freedom-loving Americans. We carry the big stick, we can vote. Comment: It would appear to some — we the people are being encouraged to accept huge government control — both state and federal. Will we soon become — the one state of America and not the United States of America or the “changed to” Socialist State of America with a supreme ruler, appointed by a ruling body and not by vote? Question: What is the difference between a huge in-control-of-everything government and a socialist government in absolute control? Issue of Nov. 11, 2010: Have you ever wished you could travel back in time to the old barge canal days here in the Mohawk Valley? A common scene would be wooden barges pulled by horses, mules, oxen, and even donkeys.

I spend so much time chatting about Ireland, you might wonder if I was born over there. No, I was born in a farmhouse in the township of Middlefield, NY. I wanted to be close to my mother that day. Comment: In two more years that birthday — God willing — will mark 80 years, and the title Valley Pennysaver will mark 50 years. Issue of Jan. 3, 2011:

In the Hello Again issue of Jan. 19, we published this picture of a body off a fully restored 1930 Model A Ford. It was called a National Best of Show Winner.

George Bernard Shaw said, “I am an atheist, and I thank God for it.” Comment: As my mother often repeated, “As the Irish man said, ‘Each to his own as Paddy said when he kissed the pig.’” Issue of April 28, 2011: Early in the morning, just a few days ago, two lonely silos stood side-by-side along Route 5 near St. Johnsville. Little did they know that by nighttime a large, extremely well built farm building This 1930 Model A Ford sports coupe is locally would be standing next to them. In one day it was owned by Gerald and Linda Gould of Fort Plain. completely finished. This beauty is believed to be the original Comment: A few years ago Amish families moved production coupe, not totally rebuilt. into our area, some farmers, carpenters, builders, handymen, business owners, etc. What a great contribution to our area and way of life. The barn building: a perfect example of Christian friendship and helping your fellow man. Issue of Oct. 15, 2011: The trouble with some women they get all excited about nothing — then they marry him. Comment: No comment. Issue of July 28, 2012: When the atomic bomb was being developed in the utmost secrecy at Oak Ridge Tennessee, the workers — most of whom had no idea what it was all about — often explained to questioners that “This is where the front of the horses are made. Then we ship them to Washington for additional assembly.” Comment: Is it possible that is where mules and jack-asses evolved from?

Comment: The only difference in men and boys is the cost of their toys. Have you ever been envious? — No? Everytime I see the Gould’s beautiful green 1930 Model A, I become envious. Issue of July 21, 2012: Place your faith in the Lord and his promises and you will have the strength to withstand any adversity. There are seven days in each week. One is the Lord’s day. Remember his day and the next time you talk with him say, “Thank you Lord for my family and friends.” Comment: Actually every day belongs to the Lord. He allows us to live, prosper, and enjoy life asking us only to believe, trust, and obey. Fred Lee and the Lee Family

MORTGAGE & HOME BUYING UPDATE

How to Survive Buying Your First Home First time home buyers easily can be overwhelmed by the process of buying a home. In addition to the legal hurdles associated with purchasing a home, the stress of committing such a substantial amount of money can lead to some sleepless nights. But first time home buyers in the market for a home can prepare themselves for the process ahead of time. Though the following tips might not guarantee a smooth and stress-free home buying experience, they can answer a few questions and facilitate the process.

The lowest home prices in years and tax incentives are driving many people to purchase their first home. Few things are simultaneously as exciting and nerve wracking as becoming a homeowner. Preparation can make sure individuals are covering all of the bases.

• Establish your price range.

• Expect to pay costs.

As the housing crisis of the last several years indicated, many homeowners got in well over their heads. Some lost their homes to foreclosure, while others found it extremely difficult to pay their mortgage each month. First time buyers can avoid such scenarios by honestly assessing what they can afford and searching for homes within their price range. A host of Web sites, including some lender sites, provide free mortgage calculators so buyers can see just what they can afford. Lenders often recommend spending less than 30 percent of income on housing costs.

Closing costs are often a big shock to first time home buyers. Closing costs include lender fees, title and settlement fees, taxes, and homeowners insurance or homeowners association fees. Bankrate.com provides an annual closing cost survey for buyers to get a better feel of just what they will be spending when the time comes to sign on the dotted line. A lender can also give an estimate of what fees may total.

• Research rates and taxes. Certain external factors beyond the price of the home will factor into a homeowner’s monthly financial commitment. Taxes and homeowner’s insurance can vary greatly depending on a home’s location. Research property taxes in different communities, and show around for homeowner’s insurance when looking for a home.

VMM

• Consult some professionals. Real estate professionals in the area might be able to paint a picture of what the real estate market is like at the moment. Prices might be on the rise, on the decline or remaining steady. If looking in a specific area, consult with a real estate agent about the area and what to expect. When shopping for a home for the first time, buyers should expect the unexpected. However, the surprise element can be reduced if buyers do their homework before starting the process.

Savvy Tips to Help Sell Your Home There are so many questions that surround selling your home: Which realtor should you choose? How do I lure potential buyers? Don’t put your home on the market blindly. Following are a few tips to help get you started: CHOOSING A BROKER Speak with two or three brokers from different agencies. Ask them the same questions to compare what they would do to sell your home. Some questions to ask include: • How many years have you been in business? • How long have you sold houses in this area? • How many houses did you sell in the past year? • What is your commission? • If I were to work with you, how would you best market my house? • Will you organize meetings with potential buyers and will you coordinate them personally? • Can you give me names and telephone numbers of others families that have that have used your services?

PREPARING YOUR HOME

• Get rid of odors.

So you’ve chosen a broker but now you have to get your home in gear. No matter how much or little it costs, its important to do some “spring cleaning” to your home before you put it on the market. Paying even a little attention to the details can make a huge difference in the appearance of your home and attract more interest from prospective buyers. Some ideas include:

Place potpourri around the house, especially if you have pets or a smoker in the family.

• Clean the exterior.

• Eliminate clutter.

Keep the grass cut and the outdoor area tidy. Paint or wash the exterior of the home including windows, shutters, siding and doors. Examine the gutters, chimney and driveway; get them into good condition. Seal any cracks in foundation or walkways.

Remove any unnecessary garbage from your closets, garage, attic and basement. Store garbage, debris, lawn mowers and hoses out of sight.

• Touch up the interior. Clean and brighten rooms that have heavy traffic with a fresh coat of paint. Wash wallpaper, tiles, paneling, floors, carpets, tubs and showers. Clean heat and air-conditioning air filters.

It’s IMPORTANT to get your home into top notch condition for prospective buyers.

• Repair leaking or worn faucets and oil squeaky doors. Also, clean underneath sinks, fixing any leaks and painting any areas with visible damage.

• Prepare it for the arrival of guests. Put your best face forward. Store any items you don’t want visitors to see or have access to, like jewelry or other valuables. Get rid of excess furniture. Flowers and new guest towels also make a subtle yet important difference. Good luck!

Auto repair: wondering about your warranty? It’s a common misconception that only car dealers can perform the routine maintenance and repairs on a newer vehicle that is under warranty. In fact, it is law that consumers can patronize their neighborhood repair shop or do the work themselves without violating the manufacturer’s warranty, says the Car Care Council. Consumers are protected by the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which prohibits a manufacturer from voiding the vehicle warranty because service was done by a non-dealer. According to the FTC, “It’s illegal for a dealer to deny

your warranty coverage simply because you had routine maintenance or repairs performed by someone else. Routine maintenance often includes oil changes, tire rotations, belt replacement, fluid checks and flushes, new brake pads and inspections.” “Many motorists wonder if they will void their factory warranty if someone other than the dealer services their vehicle,” said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. “The truth is that consumers can have routine repairs performed by their local independent repair shop or do the work themselves without

affecting the warranty. It is also important to note that using aftermarket parts does not void the warranty.” When using a non-dealer, independent aftermarket shop to maintain your vehicle, the council strongly recommends keeping records and receipts for all maintenance that is done to the vehicle and adhering to scheduled maintenance requirements. If a warranty claim arises, these records will provide proof that maintenance has been done in accordance with the manufacturers’ recommendations and requirements.

Advice for families coping with an older driver’s changing abilities (BPT) — As we age, and watch our loved ones grow older, it’s important to think about — and plan for — a time when we may no longer be able to drive. But how do we decide when it’s time to transition from driver to passenger? In our busy suburban communities driving is essential to an independent lifestyle, and the decision to stop driving is a sensitive, personal one. In addition to creating practical challenges, giving up driving may stir feelings of anger, frustration, isolation and depression, so it is not to be taken lightly. With the significance of driving in mind, family members can help older drivers make the transition from driver to passenger. But how do you initiate the difficult conversation? The experts at AARP Driver Safety and The Hartford offer some advice. First, help older drivers stay safe behind the wheel for as long as possible. Adult children can help aging parents regularly maintain their vehicles. And if it’s time for a new car, adult children can help identify choices with new technologies that can enhance safe driving, like reverse monitoring systems. Older drivers can brush up on their driving skills with AARP Driver Safety’s course, which is specifically designed to help people 50 and older refresh their driving skills. To find a classroom course near you, call 888-227-7669, or visit www.aarp.org/findacourse; or sign up for an online course. Courses are available in English or Spanish. Second, family members should observe an older loved one’s driving by taking a ride as passenger and keeping an eye out for warning signs. It’s important to look for changes in driving abilities. These signs include: • Frequent “close calls” or near-crashes • Unexplained dents or scrapes on vehicles, fences, mailboxes, garage doors, etc. • Getting lost, even in familiar locations • Difficulty seeing or following traffic signals, road signs and pavement markings • Slower responses to unexpected situations, trouble moving the driving foot from the gas to the brake, and confusing the two pedals • Misjudging gaps in traffic at intersections or on highway entrance and exit ramps

• Experiencing road rage or inspiring it in other drivers • Easily becoming distracted while driving • Difficulty turning around to check the rear view while backing up or changing lanes • Receiving multiple tickets or warnings from law enforcement officers. Third, if you notice a pattern of warning signs and an increase in frequency, then it’s time to initiate a conversation. It’s important to choose the right time, place and messenger. “It’s important that the right person initiate the conversation,” says Jodi Olshevski, a gerontologist and assistant vice president at The Hartford. “Research indicates that 50 percent of married drivers prefer to hear about driving concerns from their spouses first, then doctors and finally adult children. Whoever initiates the conversation should have a strong rapport with the older driver. “Whoever it is should be empathetic, armed with facts about her driving and able to offer ideas for alternative transportation if needed,” Olshevski advises. Avoid bringing up the topic of driving during family gatherings. Instead, look for a quiet, private time when all parties involved will have privacy and minimal distractions. If it’s time to initiate a conversation with a parent or spouse about driving, AARP Driver Safety’s “We Need to Talk” seminar can help. Developed based on information created jointly by The Hartford and MIT AgeLab, the free, online seminar helps caregivers and those with an older loved one initiate productive and caring conversations about driving safety. To take the free seminar, visit www.aarp.org/weneedtotalk, and to download or order a free guidebook, visit www.thehartford.com/lifetime. While many older Americans are staying safe on the roads and driving longer than ever before, for some, health-related changes in vision, hearing, flexibility or cognitive function can make them less safe behind the wheel. With planning, preparation and sensitivity, families can help make the transition from being a driver to being a passenger a bit easier for older drivers and those who love them.
