Brodner Equipment for the ladies!

Ladies, do you walk for exercise? Do you enjoy mowing the lawn? Let's put these together. Go to Brodner's and get a push mower even if it's for a smaller section of your lawn. A battery operated one may be easiest. All you have to do is put the battery on the charger, then back in the mower. It's very simple, easier than putting gas in or dealing with gas/oil mixture (unless you have someone else handle that), then trying to pull start, or get an auto start. Actually either electric or gas is fine, the ones they make now have a lever to move itself along. But, by using a pushmower you get steps, even mile(s), your heart-rate up and the lawn is beautifully mowed! Two items off your to-do list.

You can go to Brodner by yourself, they won't fast-talk you into something you really don't need. They will explain the features and demostrate exactly how to use the mower. Do this for you!

John hired Crossfield to install a split system in his 'shed', well, actually, cottage. It's the perfect solution when other usual options just aren't practical. Especially running duct work outside or underneath where it's outdoors. The split system is the answer. It still was a challenge but nothing gets in the way of these professionals! 585-872-4420

From Jim; "John Welch just had a Mitsubishi Split system installed at his cottage by Crossfield Heating and Cooling!

Don'f forget to ask about Kanberra Gel products, these work fantastic! For instance, Jim had an odor at his late 1800's farmhouse from a rodent that passed away. You know how bad that smell is! It seemed as if it was in the ducts so he put a canister of Kanberra Gel, smell gone. But then the odor was coming from his side porch, again, a canister of Kanberra Gel took care of it! So whether it's something like that or other odors from cooking or pets Kanberra Gel makes the odor disappear, we don't know how, but it does!

So, no matter your situation, being informed is vital.

Pittsford Rotary Food Drive Saturday August 1, 2026

Wed, 29 Jul 2026 16:10:23 +0000

Rotary Club’s Next Drive-thru Food Drive is Aug. 1

The Rotary Club of Pittsford’s next monthly drive-thru food drive is scheduled Saturday (Aug. 1) from 9 am to noon at the Pittsford Sutherland High School bus loop. Rotarians and high school Interact Club members will be collecting at the drive rain or shine.

Donations will support the Pittsford Food Cupboard and the Nazareth University Oak Tree Food Pantry.

The Pittsford Food Cupboard plays a crucial role in addressing food insecurity within our community. Donations help ensure that local families have access to essential food items and will promote well-being and stability.

Current needs include sardines; canned chicken breast; ketchup and relish; chicken broth; pancake mix; bread crumbs; taco shells; meals in a can; small size jams or jellies; dry pet food; any cleaning supplies; and facial tissues.

The Oak Tree Pantry serves those with food insecurity in the Nazareth community. The pantry has an ongoing need for granola bars, pasta, peanut butter, soap and other hygiene products.

The drive also will collect donations of gently used, current magazines for distribution to area human service organizations. The club conducts the drives the first Saturday of the month all year with an occasional change of date to avoid holiday and event conflicts.

Additional information is available at pittsfordrotaryclub.org.

Spending a lot of money for that house! What condition is it in?

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 16:21:35 +0000

You went to an open house along with lots of other people, or maybe had an appointment, you, your spouse, your realtor it was quick. Then pressure to put in an offer, no contingencies if you want your offer looked at. This isn't right, it's not protecting you. You should get a home inspection and have an attorney look over the offer.

Too many things could go wrong. If you do end up getting your offer accepted, close on the property, then get an inspection. Now the home inspection, by Jim Salmon, of course, shows the roof needs replaced - there's already 2 layers so a tear-off too. Ok, now you're in $30, 40, $50,000 or much more. The basement has a severe crack, lots more money for this repair. You already over-extended with the purchase, you weren't planning on these major issues because they were passed over. Maybe you did notice something didn't seem right but was told 'oh it's fine'. A home inspector doesn't cause these problems, they find them and make you aware. Experience, such as Jim has, being able to notice what's wrong almost as soon as walking into the room, or a thorough look at the roof, for instance is what should be done before you close. The information provided in a home inspection report is valuable in so many ways, negotiation of price is a big one, knowing the condition of the house for planning repairs, how important the issue is, or walk away.

All houses have things wrong, some are very important, such as cracked foundation, or others minor issues. Just knowing beforehand to make an educated decision on your most expensive purchase, is extremely valuable.

Hurry St. Place Sale August 4 - 7th see updated information

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 16:14:30 +0000

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

July 27, 2026

SAINT’S PLACE SUPER SALE, AUG. 4-7, 2026

RAISES FUNDS TO HELP LEGAL REFUGEES

Rochester’s most popular charity sale event is back, offering thousands of high quality new or gently used items!

The Annual Saint’s Place Super Sale Fundraiser will be held Aug. 4-7, 2026 in the large gym of the Parish Center at St. John of Rochester Church, 10 Wickford Way, Fairport, right off Route 31.

The quantity and quality of items is unparalleled. Super Sale shoppers will have access to great deals on purses, jewelry, dishes, glassware, small kitchen appliances, furniture, linens, electronics, books, toys, artwork, sporting goods, bikes, clothing and collectible items, all donated by the Rochester community. All the sale items will be located on one floor in the air-conditioned gym in the Parish Center. There will be plenty of parking spots in the large lot on the campus. New this year is a 10 percent discount on all items on Tuesday, Aug. 4, at the First Chance Sale, where shoppers pay a $10 admission fee but receive the 10 percent discount on purchases.

The Super Sale changes lives and helps Saint’s Place fulfill its mission of “welcoming the stranger.” While Saint’s Place continues to welcome newly arriving refugees with new beds and mattresses, furniture and household goods, and clothing for all four seasons, the organization also continues to help refugees who have lived in the area for a few years.

It’s vital that refugees have the opportunity to learn English and continue their education, so they can get good-paying jobs to support their families and lift them out of poverty. The Saint’s Place Educational Initiative helps fulfill that opportunity. “In the past fiscal year, Saint’s Place provided $103,000 for partial college tuition, vocational training, laptops, textbook purchases, college fees, work uniforms, and tools needed for electrical and auto mechanic employment,” said Michele Quinn, executive director of Saint’s Place. The organization served more than 200 students ages 18 and older.

Here is one example of a refugee that Saint’s Place helped in recent months. A 19-year-old woman originally from an Asian country received a laptop computer and tuition support for her studies at Monroe Community College where she is working toward an associate’s degree in science. Considering that this young woman arrived here about two years ago, her overall GPA of 3.35 is a remarkable accomplishment that demonstrates her strong motivation and persistence. She wrote to Saint’s Place: “Your kindness has had such a positive impact on my education, and I promise to continue working and making the most of every opportunity.”

Quinn said refugees are extremely grateful for the assistance that they receive from Saint’s Place.

“Even as fewer new refugees arrive in our country, our work at Saint’s Place has remained very busy meeting the needs of families already in our community,” she said. “Refugees living in poverty continue to need beds, bedding, clothing and essential household items, and we are committed to helping them build stable, hopeful lives here. We especially want to help female refugees who may never had the opportunity to get an education in their previous homeland. Helping these women learn English, get an education and a job can have a great impact on their children’s success.”

Hours for the annual 2026 Super Sale are as follows:

Tuesday, Aug. 4: 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. First Chance Sale. $10 entrance fee, cash only. New this year: 10 percent off all day!

Wednesday, Aug. 5: 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Opening Day. Free admission begins.

Thursday, Aug. 6: 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. All items half price. Free entrance.

Friday, Aug. 7: 9 a.m. to noon or until all items are gone! Our Famous Bag Sale: $5 for the first bag; $5 each additional. Five-bag limit. Must purchase a bag from Saint’s Place to enter.

Credit cards are accepted for sales over $25. Hot dogs will be for sale from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Van Bortel Ford for your new vehicle!

Tue, 21 Jul 2026 16:28:58 +0000

Ready to shop for a new vehicle? Dreading the runaround? May we suggest you take a drive over to Van Bortel Ford, 71 Marsh Rd., East Rochester, N.Y. 14445. It's that simple. You will be treated respectfully, you won't get the runaround. It will be a pleasant experience, yes, that's true! Jim Salmon recently purchased a new F150 Ford Pickup Truck from Van Bortel Ford, mind you, this is the 3rd vehicle his family has purchased from them. So you know it had to have gone very well the other times!

No question as to where he was going to purchase his new truck, but with his truck being his on-the-road office there were certain things he needed. For example, the truck bed has to be a little longer to accomodate his ladders. He needed a 'desk' to write reports, etc. He wanted a larger gas tank. Needed the keypad so he doesn't have to worry about losing his keys. Van Bortel came through with all of it and much more! They found the perfect truck, had Jim come over to check it out for his approval, and yes, it was just what he needed. Actually, it's a hybrid so gas & electic keeps the gas intake lower and charges itself while driving. Perfect! He loved the entire experience at Van Bortel Ford, even the financing was easy, this truck is beyond what he imagined. The personnel were all fantastic, going the extra steps to treat him (and you) making sure everything went smoothly & you leave there feeling great! Loving your new vehicle!

So head on over and drive off with YOUR perfect vehicle! Get excited!

How did your gutters hold up? All County Gutters 585-538-4226

Mon, 20 Jul 2026 12:59:37 +0000

Talk about rain! Wow! We sure have had weird weather but this past storm brought in a lot of rain. Some areas 7", some others, even more. If your gutters are filled with debris they aren't directing all that water away from your house. Chances are good, water cascaded over the length of the gutters like a waterfall. That's not how it should be! All County Gutter is the best company around to handle this. Not only do they install new but they clean and repair your current gutters. You know that rain pelts down leaving water to end up right in your basement. So many people had flooded basements, the main reason is improper gutters. Whether they are filled with leaves or pine needles, etc. or they are cracked, crooked, or completely missing in spots. You need to address this before issues get worse.

All County Gutter is a company you can trust, in fact, Jim Salmon has used them many times on various buildings. He even has copper gutters on one! They will discuss with you what truly needs done, repair? replace? Here's a great suggestion, go with bigger gutters and downspouts. Instead of 4", 5 & 6" are better to handle more water faster.
