Season Of Gratitude
Each year around this time our thoughts increasingly gravitate toward thankfulness.
We're thankful for readers like you, who peruse the pages of LifeandHomes and regularly join us on our website and social media platforms. Your suggestions and feedback help provide insight and help generate new ideas. We love it when we hear from our advertisers that you've let them know you heard about them through LifeandHomes. Locals supporting local business - it doesn't get any better than that.
We're grateful to advertisers who view us as a trusted local resource for getting the message out about their business, listings, and professional skills. Obviously, we couldn't do what we do without advertisers but there's so much more to it than making a sale. These local business professionals are some top-notch, knowledgeable folk who we turn to for our own business and real estate needs.

A Home EscapePlan Is Paramount
While the number of U.S. home fires has continued to decline over time, the home fire death rate has stagnated in recent years, with annual spikes like the most recent one seen in 2021.
Now more than ever, you're going to want to “The latest number of home fire deaths reinforces that today’s home fires present real challenges,” says Lorraine Carli, VP of the Outreach and Advocacy division at NFPA.
According to NFPA data, home — the place people feel safest from fire — is actually where they are at greatest risk, with three-quarters (75 percent) of all U.S. fire deaths occurring in homes. Where people used to have more than 10 minutes to escape a typical home fire from the time the smoke alarm sounds, today they may have as little as two minutes.
Multiple factors contribute to this much smaller window of escape time, including the way newer homes tend to be constructed and the fact that modern home furnishings are often made with synthetic materials that burn faster and generate toxic smoke, making it extremely difficult to see and breathe.
“To many, the concepts of home escape planning and practice may sound so simple that their value is underestimated, but the reality is that these advance preparations can truly mean the difference between life and death in a home fire - now more than ever,” says Carli. “Ask anyone who’s experienced a home fire and they will tell you how dark, scary, and disorienting a home fire can become within moments. Having a practiced plan with all members of the household builds the muscle memory needed to get out as quickly and safely as possible.”
Plan your escape
•Make sure your home escape plan meets the needs of all your family members, including those with sensory or physical disabilities.
Smoke alarms should be installed inside every sleeping room, outside each separate sleeping area, and on every level of your home. Smoke alarms should be interconnected so when one sounds, they all sound.
•Know at least two ways out of every room, if possible. Make sure all doors and windows open easily.
•Have an outside meeting place a safe distance from your home where everyone should meet. •Practice your home fire drill at least twice a year with everyone in the household, including guests. Practice at least once during the day and at night. (NFPA.org)
Would You Do This Deal?
Would you make a 40-year commitment in exchange for $300-$5000 cash, with no credit check or loan required? MV Realty, based in Delray Beach FL, thinks homeowners will which is why they came up with their "innovative" Homeowner Benefit Program.
The program, currently available in 33 states according to their site, pays homeowners upfront money ranging from $300-$5000, based on the estimated value of their home, in exchange for the right to list their home for sale at some point in the future.
Homeowners who decide to sell any time within the 40-year length of the agreement must do so with MV Realty at a six percent commission. Violating the legally binding contract by listing with a different realtor or selling by owner will result in a financial penalty equal to three percent of the market value of the home. MV Realty states they file a memorandum to alert them to any breaches of contract on each covered house. Upon signing, homeowners waive the right to be party to a class action lawsuit, and agree MV Realty can delegate some or all of its obligations to others.
What happens of the homeowner who signed the agreement dies before the 40-year agreement ends? MV Realty's FAQ site page reads, "The agreement our clients sign has a 40-year term and remains in effect for the full-term - even if the original homeowner has passed away."
Thinking of canceling the agreement? - "Our agreement is fully binding and you may not repay our cash incentive in order to exit the agreement. If you need to cancel the agreement, you will be required to pay a 3% fee (equal to the fee we would receive for successfully selling your home)."
You can read more about MV Realty's Homeowner Benefit Program at homeownerbenefit.com or do a search for their
business on the Better Business Bureau site.
Always fully investigate and understand before you sign any legally binding agreementespecially one that spans 40 years.
Flooding The Market
Widespread flooding in the wake of Hurricane Ian potentially damaged as many as 358,000 vehicles. That number is on top of the 400,000 water-damaged cars that CARFAX data shows were already on the road in 2022 - before Hurricane Ian.
Used-car shoppers need to be aware that these waterlogged vehicles could resurface anywhere around the country. These vehicles can show up in states where flooding might not be top of mind for car shoppers.
"We are seeing these flooded cars show up all around the country, putting unsuspecting buyers at risk," said Emilie Voss, CARFAX spokesperson. "Cosmetically these cars might look great, but if you don't know what to look for, it's nearly impossible to tell they are literally rotting from the inside out. Floodwater can cause mechanical, electrical, health and safety issues in a vehicle even if it was submerged for only a short time."
Look for these 7 telltale signs of flooding:
•A musty odor in the interior, which sellers sometimes try to cover with a strong airfreshener.
•Upholstery or carpeting that may be loose, new, stained or that doesn't match the rest of the interior.
•Damp carpets.
• Rust around doors, under the dashboard, on the pedals or inside the hood and trunk latches. •Mud or silt in the glove compartment or under the seats.
•Brittle wires under the dashboard.
• Fog or moisture beads in the interior lights, exterior lights or instrument panel.

Schenectady Drive Electric Week and Sustainability Fair A Success
The City of Schenectady, Schenectady Greenmarket, Livingston Energy Group, and the Capital District EV Drivers Group hosted the NYS Capital District Drive Electric Week and Sustainability Fair in September during the Schenectady Greenmarket on Liberty Street around Schenectady City Hall.
The event, part of the National Drive Electric Week initiative, was the second largest in the nation for registered participants. Representatives from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), New York Power Authority (NYPA), National Grid, and community businesses, organizations, and schools that support E-mobility and sustainability initiatives were in attendance.
“We are proud to host the Capital District Drive Electric Week and Sustainability Fair in Schenectady,” said Schenectady Mayor Gary McCarthy. “Our community has a rich history of innovation, and we are committed to continuing that legacy into the 21st century through climate action and sustainability. From replacing city streetlights to advanced LEDs, to building municipal solar arrays, to
expanding our EV charging infrastructure, and growing our municipal EV fleets – as Mayor I will ensure that Schenectady continues to lead the way on climate. I would like to thank our cohosts Schenectady Greenmarket, Livingston Energy Group and Capital District EV Drivers for their critical partnership on this remarkable event here in the Electric City.”
Schenectady Greenmarket operates year-round on Sundays from 10 am-2 pm around City Hall from April- November and inside Proctors from December-March.
The City of Schenectady has received Climate Smart Community certification from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and Clean Energy Community designation from NYSERDA. Under the leadership of Mayor McCarthy, the city has installed 28 EV chargers for public use, added 22 hybrid and electric vehicles to the city’s municipal fleet and acquired 62 lithium-powered golf carts to replace the current fleet of gaspowered carts at the Schenectady Municipal Golf Course.
City of Schenectady Reopens Francis Avenue Bridge Over I-890
Schenectady Mayor Gary McCarthy announced the completion of construction on the Francis Avenue bridge which had been closed for construction since March.
Also known as the Cotton Hollow Bridge, the span connects the Mont Pleasant and Hamilton Hill neighborhoods over I-890.
The City of Schenectady was awarded a $3.2 million grant through the New York State Department of Transportation (DOT) BridgeNY program. The project included the replacement of the concrete bridge deck, new sidewalks, and improved lighting. The project was completed by Tioga Construction.
“We are proud to announce the completion of this major infrastructure improvement project in the City of Schenectady,” Mayor McCarthy said. “These essential upgrades to a vital link connecting the Mont Pleasant and Hamilton Hill neighborhoods also complements the recent pedestrian improvements at the Forest Road and Francis Avenue intersection. I would like to congratulate and thank the City Engineering Department and our project consultants on the successful completion of this infrastructure project in our community.”
“Reopening the Francis Avenue Bridge will reconnect the Mont Pleasant and Hamilton
Hill neighborhoods, making it easier for residents to get around the city,” said Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara. “For seven months, we’ve watched as a replaced concrete bridge deck, new sidewalks were laid, and better lighting was installed. These upgrades, made possible from funding I helped secure through our state’s BridgeNY program, are great news for our community.”
