(BPT) — As we age, andwatch our loved ones growolder, it’s important tothink about — and planfor — a time when we mayno longer be able to drive.But how do we decidewhen it’s time to transitionfrom driver to passenger?
In our busy suburbancommunities driving isessential to an independ-ent lifestyle, and the deci-sion to stop driving is asensitive, personal one.In addition to creatingpractical challenges, giv-ing up driving may stirfeelings of anger, frustra-tion, isolation and de-pression, so it is not to betaken lightly.
With the significance ofdriving in mind, familymembers can help olderdrivers make the transitionfrom driver to passenger.But how do you initiate thedifficult conversation? Theexperts at AARP DriverSafety and The Hartford of-fer some advice.
First, help older driversstay safe behind thewheel for as long as pos-sible. Adult children canhelp aging parents regu-larly maintain their vehi-cles. And if it’s time for anew car, adult childrencan help identify choiceswith new technologiesthat can enhance safedriving, like reverse mon-itoring systems. Older
drivers can brush up ontheir driving skills withAARP Driver Safety’scourse, which is specifi-cally designed to helppeople 50 and older re-fresh their driving skills.To find a classroomcourse near you, call888-227-7669, or visitwww.aarp.org/f inda-course; or sign up for anonline course. Coursesare available in Englishor Spanish.
Second, family mem-bers should observe anolder loved one’s drivingby taking a ride as pas-senger and keeping aneye out for warning signs.It’s important to look forchanges in driving abili-ties. These signs include:
• Frequent “close calls”or near-crashes
• Unexplained dents orscrapes on vehicles,fences, mailboxes, garagedoors, etc.
• Getting lost, even infamiliar locations
• Difficulty seeing orfollowing traffic signals,road signs and pavementmarkings
• Slower responses tounexpected situations,trouble moving the driv-ing foot from the gas tothe brake, and confusingthe two pedals
• Experiencing roadrage or inspiring it in oth-er drivers
• Easily becoming dis-tracted while driving
• Difficulty turningaround to check the rearview while backing up orchanging lanes
• Receiving multipletickets or warnings fromlaw enforcement officers.
Third, if you notice apattern of warning signsand an increase in fre-quency, then it’s time toinitiate a conversation.It’s important to choosethe right time, place andmessenger.
“It’s important that the
right person initiate theconversation,” says JodiOlshevski, a gerontologistand assistant vice presi-dent at The Hartford. “Re-search indicates that 50percent of married driversprefer to hear about driv-ing concerns from theirspouses first, then doc-tors and finally adult chil-dren. Whoever initiatesthe conversation shouldhave a strong rapportwith the older driver. “
“Whoever it is shouldbe empathetic, armedwith facts about her driv-ing and able to offer ideasfor alternative trans-portation if needed,” Ol-shevski advises.
Avoid bringing up thetopic of driving duringfamily gatherings. In-stead, look for a quiet, pri-vate time when all partiesinvolved will have privacyand minimal distractions.
If it’s time to initiate aconversation with a parentor spouse about driving,AARP Driver Safety’s “WeNeed to Talk” seminar canhelp. Developed based oninformation created jointlyby The Hartford and MITAgeLab, the free, onlineseminar helps caregiversand those with an olderloved one initiate produc-tive and caring conversa-tions about driving safety.To take the free seminar,visit www.aarp.org/we-needtotalk, and to down-load or order a free guide-book, visit www.thehart-ford.com/lifetime.
While many olderAmericans are stayingsafe on the roads anddriving longer than everbefore, for some, health-related changes in vision,hearing, flexibility or cog-nitive function can makethem less safe behind thewheel. With planning,preparation and sensitivi-ty, families can helpmake the transition frombeing a driver to being apassenger a bit easier forolder drivers and thosewho love them.

If you see ice build-upand icicles hanging fromthe eaves of your home,you may have an ice dam,a major cause of roofleaks and energy loss inwinter. Take steps now toprevent ice dams, recom-mends the New YorkState Energy Researchand Development Author-ity (NYSERDA).
Ice dams usually occurafter a heavy snowfalland several days of freez-ing temperatures. Warmair inside your homeleaks into the attic andwarms the underside ofthe roof, causing snowand ice on the roof tomelt. The melted waterdrains along the roof tothe cold overhang and re-freezes, forming an icedam and icicles. The icedam enables the trappedwater to get under theroof shingles, causingwater to leak inside.
If you already have anice dam problem, hire anexpert to solve the imme-diate issue. Don’t climbon your roof, and avoidstanding on the groundand “chipping away” atthe ice. Not only couldyour chipping damagethe roof, but you can beseriously injured byfalling ice, debris or tools.
NYSERDA recommendsthe following ice dam pre-vention tips:
Seal air leaks andtake care of insulationand ventilation.
• Seal air leaks andduct air leaks in your at-tic to stop warm air leak-age, the source of ice damproblems. After sealingleaks, add additional in-sulation in your attic.
• Provide adequate atticventilation so the under-sides of the roof and out-side air are at the sametemperature. Check tomake sure attic insula-tion is not blocking roofventilation. Incorrect ven-tilation can cause moldand mildew problems.
Clean gutters.• If you didn’t clean
leaves and other debrisfrom gutters before thefirst snow, see if you canhave it done now. Thiswill help prevent icebuild-up in gutters.
Hire a participatingcontractor.
• Hire a participatingHome Performance con-tractor accredited throughthe Building PerformanceInstitute (BPI) to conductan in-home comprehen-sive energy assessment.The comprehensive homeenergy assessment willnot only suggest specifichome improvements toprevent future ice dams,but will also recommendways to reduce energyuse, save money and im-prove the health and safe-ty of your home.
• This “whole house”approach can cut totalenergy costs by up to 40percent, saving a home-owner up to $700 annu-ally. NYSERDA providesfinancial incentives andfinancing options withlow interest rates to helppay for energy efficiencyimprovements.

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.
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.
Comment: Amen and amen.
Issue of Dec. 20, 2010:
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:
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
would be standing next to them. In one day it was
completely finished.
Comment: A few years ago Amish families moved
into our area, some farmers, carpenters, builders,
handymen, business owners, etc. What a great con-
tribution 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?
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 hard-
working people have spent their lives working for our
local, county, state, and federal governments.
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
Hello
Again
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.
This 1930 Model A Ford sports coupe is locally
owned by Gerald and Linda Gould of Fort Plain.
This beauty is believed to be the original
production coupe, not totally rebuilt.

First time home buyers easily can be overwhelmedby the process of buying a home. In addition to thelegal hurdles associated with purchasing a home, thestress of committing such a substantial amount ofmoney can lead to some sleepless nights.
But first time home buyers in the market for a home can preparethemselves for the process ahead of time. Though the following tipsmight not guarantee a smooth and stress-free home buyingexperience, they can answer a few questions and facilitate theprocess.
• Establish your price range.As the housing crisis of the last several years indicated, manyhomeowners got in well over their heads. Some lost their homes toforeclosure, while others found it extremely difficult to pay theirmortgage each month. First time buyers can avoid such scenariosby honestly assessing what they can afford and searching forhomes within their price range. A host of Web sites, including somelender sites, provide free mortgage calculators so buyers can seejust what they can afford. Lenders often recommend spending lessthan 30 percent of income on housing costs.
• Research rates and taxes.Certain external factors beyond the price of the home will factorinto a homeowner’s monthly financial commitment. Taxes andhomeowner’s insurance can vary greatly depending on a home’slocation. Research property taxes in different communities, andshow around for homeowner’s insurance when looking for a home.
• Expect to pay 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 toget a better feel of just what they will be spending when the timecomes to sign on the dotted line. A lender can also give anestimate of what fees may total.
• Consult some professionals.Real estate professionals in the area might be able to paint apicture of what the real estate market is like at the moment.Prices might be on the rise, on the decline or remaining steady. Iflooking in a specific area, consult with a real estate agent aboutthe area and what to expect.
When shopping for a home for the first time, buyers should expectthe unexpected. However, the surprise element can be reduced ifbuyers do their homework before starting the process.

There are so many questions that surround sellingyour 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 themthe same questions to compare what they would do to sell yourhome. 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 youcoordinate them personally?
• Can you give me names and telephone numbers of othersfamilies that have that have used your services?
PREPARING YOUR HOME
So you’ve chosen a broker but now you have to get your home ingear. 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 hugedifference in the appearance of your home and attract moreinterest from prospective buyers. Some ideas include:
• Clean the exterior.Keep the grass cut and the outdoor area tidy. Paint or wash theexterior of the home including windows, shutters, siding and doors.Examine the gutters, chimney and driveway; get them into goodcondition. Seal any cracks in foundation or walkways.
• Touch up the interior.Clean and brighten rooms that have heavy traffic with a fresh coatof paint. Wash wallpaper, tiles, paneling, floors, carpets, tubs andshowers. Clean heat and air-conditioning air filters.
• Get rid of odors.Place potpourri around the house, especially if you have pets or asmoker in the family.
• Repair leaking or worn faucets and
oil squeaky doors.Also, clean underneath sinks, fixing any leaks and painting anyareas with visible damage.
• Eliminate clutter.Remove any unnecessary garbage from your closets, garage, atticand basement. Store garbage, debris, lawn mowers and hoses outof sight.
• Prepare it for the arrival of guests.Put your best face forward. Store any items you don’t want visitorsto see or have access to, like jewelry or other valuables. Get rid ofexcess furniture. Flowers and new guest towels also make a subtleyet important difference. Good luck!

(BPT) — As we age, and watch our loved ones growolder, it’s important to think about — and plan for —a time when we may no longer be able to drive. Buthow do we decide when it’s time to transition fromdriver to passenger?
In our busy suburban communities driving is essen-tial to an independent lifestyle, and the decision tostop driving is a sensitive, personal one. In addition tocreating practical challenges, giving up driving maystir feelings of anger, frustration, isolation and depres-sion, so it is not to be taken lightly.
With the significance of driving in mind, familymembers can help older drivers make the transitionfrom driver to passenger. But how do you initiate thedifficult conversation? The experts at AARP DriverSafety and The Hartford offer some advice.
First, help older drivers stay safe behind the wheel foras long as possible. Adult children can help aging par-ents regularly maintain their vehicles. And if it’s timefor a new car, adult children can help identify choiceswith new technologies that can enhance safe driving,like reverse monitoring systems. Older drivers canbrush up on their driving skills with AARP Driver Safe-ty’s course, which is specifically designed to help people50 and older refresh their driving skills. To find a class-room course near you, call 888-227-7669, or visitwww.aarp.org/findacourse; or sign up for an onlinecourse. Courses are available in English or Spanish.
Second, family members should observe an olderloved one’s driving by taking a ride as passenger andkeeping an eye out for warning signs. It’s important tolook 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, trou-
ble moving the driving foot from the gas to the brake,and confusing the two pedals
• Misjudging gaps in traffic at intersections or onhighway 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 aconversation. It’s important to choose the right time,place and messenger.
“It’s important that the right person initiate the con-versation,” says Jodi Olshevski, a gerontologist andassistant vice president at The Hartford. “Research in-dicates that 50 percent of married drivers prefer tohear about driving concerns from their spouses first,then doctors and finally adult children. Whoever initi-ates the conversation should have a strong rapportwith the older driver.
“Whoever it is should be empathetic, armed withfacts about her driving and able to offer ideas for al-ternative transportation if needed,” Olshevski advises.
Avoid bringing up the topic of driving during family gath-erings. Instead, look for a quiet, private time when all par-ties involved will have privacy and minimal distractions.
If it’s time to initiate a conversation with a parent orspouse about driving, AARP Driver Safety’s “We Needto Talk” seminar can help. Developed based on infor-mation created jointly by The Hartford and MIT Age-Lab, the free, online seminar helps caregivers andthose with an older loved one initiate productive andcaring conversations about driving safety. To take thefree seminar, visit www.aarp.org/weneedtotalk, and todownload or order a free guidebook, visit www.the-hartford.com/lifetime.
While many older Americans are staying safe on theroads and driving longer than ever before, for some,health-related changes in vision, hearing, flexibility orcognitive function can make them less safe behind thewheel. With planning, preparation and sensitivity,families can help make the transition from being adriver to being a passenger a bit easier for older driv-ers and those who love them.
Advice for families coping with anolder driver’s changing abilities
It’s a common misconception thatonly car dealers can perform the rou-tine maintenance and repairs on anewer vehicle that is under warran-ty. In fact, it is law that consumerscan patronize their neighborhood re-pair shop or do the work themselveswithout violating the manufacturer’swarranty, says the Car Care Council.
Consumers are protected by theMagnuson-Moss Warranty Act, en-forced by the Federal Trade Commis-sion (FTC), which prohibits a manu-facturer from voiding the vehiclewarranty because service was doneby a non-dealer. According to theFTC, “It’s illegal for a dealer to deny
your warranty coverage simply be-cause you had routine maintenanceor repairs performed by someoneelse. Routine maintenance often in-cludes oil changes, tire rotations,belt replacement, fluid checks andflushes, new brake pads and inspec-tions.”
“Many motorists wonder if theywill void their factory warranty ifsomeone other than the dealer serv-ices their vehicle,” said Rich White,executive director, Car Care Council.“The truth is that consumers canhave routine repairs performed bytheir local independent repair shopor do the work themselves without
affecting the warranty. It is also im-portant to note that using aftermar-ket parts does not void the warran-ty.”
When using a non-dealer, inde-pendent aftermarket shop to main-tain your vehicle, the council strong-ly recommends keeping records andreceipts for all maintenance that isdone to the vehicle and adhering toscheduled maintenance require-ments. If a warranty claim arises,these records will provide proof thatmaintenance has been done in ac-cordance with the manufacturers’recommendations and requirements.
