Call 541-999-4084 (NAPSA)—If you’ve been thinking, or even just dreaming, about buying a new home but “renophobia”—the fear of having to do renovations—is hold- ing you back, you may be glad to hear two things. 1. You’re not alone. Often, pro- spective homebuyers, particularly mil- lennials, want a turnkey home but can’t afford one in their desired area, and a fear of renovating means they remain renters. At the same time, many older homes have the potential to become a dream house with a little TLC. 2. Technological advancements can make homebuying easier and less expensive. You can now know just what reno- vations and repairs a house you’re considering will need, even before you visit it. That’s because Intero Real Estate Services (interorealestate.com) has partnered with Kukun, an online platform offering digital solutions that help homeowners navigate the home remodeling process. Through the widget, you get real-time home renovation estimates and return on investment information for the online listings. You can see which renova- tions you’d like to do, how much they will cost and what the property will be worth once they’re complete. You can even see which other homes in the Before you buy that fi xer-upper, you can get a good idea of just how much fi xing it up will cost. area have had renovations and which construction companies or contractors were used. What’s more, there are easy-to-use tools that help home renovators man- age the process from beginning to end and control the time and money in- volved along the way. It’s simple to do. You can access the system through an app on your phone as well as the wid- get and get valuable data as you walk through a property. What To Look For While you’re doing that, think about these seven things. 1. Is the building structurally sound? Look for big cracks, dampness around baseboards, and sagging walls. Check the window frames for cracked paint. Look at the ceiling for cracks, fl aky plaster or water stains. 2. Are the rooms and closets big enough? Are there enough bath- rooms? Are the ceilings a good height for you? Will your family and furniture fi t comfortably? 3. Inspect the plumbing. Check the water pressure. Turn on all the faucets and fl ush all the toilets. See whether the pipes are insulated and make sure they’re not lead. Look un- der the sinks for leaks, water damage or mold. 4. Check out the basement and the attic. How easy is access? Is there much storage space? Could it be con- verted into extra rooms? Is there insu- lation? 5. Learn about the neighbor- hood. How are the schools? How close is shopping? What’s the transporta- tion like in the area? Is it under a fl ight path? 6. Look to the layout. How easy is it to get from room to room and from indoors to out? 7. It’s a hot idea to be sure the heating and cooling systems work.

Publication Dates: August 5, & 19, 2017 Help Your Kid Say No To Underage Drinking (NAPSA)—How do you prepare your child with the knowledge, skills and confi dence to say no to alcohol? The task can seem chal- lenging, but you as a parent or caregiver do not have to feel pow- erless. You can take action to help your child make healthy decisions that prevent underage drinking. While the rates are declining, alcohol is the most widely mis- used substance among America’s youth and underage drinking remains a serious concern in the U.S. The 2016 Report to Congress on the Prevention and Reduction of Underage Drinking fi nds that youth start drinking at an early age. Although the peak years of underage drinking happen from 7th to 11th grade, 10 percent of 9- to 10-year-olds have already started drinking and nearly one- fi fth of underage drinkers begin before age 13. The report also fi nds that any alcohol use can have serious ?con- sequences for young people. It contributes to risky sexual behav- ior and increases the risk of suicide and using other drugs. It can neg- atively impact brain development, which can have lifelong effects. It can increase the risk for heavy drinking later in life. And under- age drinking can result in arrest or, worse yet, death from drunk driv- ing or alcohol poisoning. So what’s behind this issue? There are many reasons young people are tempted to drink, in- cluding peer pressure. Underage drinking typically happens in a group, and for adolescents the de- sire to fi t in is powerful. Other risk factors include having a history of social and emotional problems, such as depression, and a family history of substance abuse. Trying to cope with diffi cult life transi- tions, such as divorce in the fam- ily or moving from middle to high school, can also trigger underage drinking. The fi rst-ever Surgeon Gen- eral’s Re??port on Alcohol, Drugs, and Health shows how parents are a leading infl uence in a child’s de- cision about whether to drink. N eed a Spending time with your children can prevent underage drinking. How Parents Can Help 1. Be a positive role model. Children learn from observing and that starts at home. Don’t let your child see you misuse alcohol or drugs, and get help if you think you have a substance use problem. Even if you have misused drugs or alcohol in the past, you can still have an open conversation about their dangers and the reasons to stay away from them. In addition, keep temptation away by safe- guarding alcohol and medications at home so they are not accessible to your child. 2. Strengthen family bonds. Be involved in your child’s life and spend more time together. Show interest in your child’s activities and plan ones you can do togeth- er based on their interests, such as attending sports games or hav- ing family movie or game nights. Know your child’s daily routine in and out. Get to know your child’s friends and friends’ parents, so you can share your rules about not al- lowing any form of alcohol or sub- stance use. 3. Encourage your child to get involved in extracurricular ac- tivities. In the same way, support your child’s involvement in school clubs, such as debate or yearbook, team sports or other outside inter- ests. Doing so will help build your child’s confi dence, respect, leader- ship, sportsmanship and ability to work with others. Also, keeping your child engaged in positive ac- tivities helps avoid the chance that idle time is fi lled with potentially dangerous behavior. 4. Balance your child’s inde- pendence with safe boundar- ies. Provide daily encouragement to your child to boost self-esteem and confi dence. Find ways for your child to have more responsibility in family life, such as doing chores or caring for a younger sibling. Set clear expectations, including about alcohol and drug use. Cre- ate a pledge between you and your child that commits your child to not drink or use drugs. 5. Talk to your children regu- larly about alcohol. Young peo- ple are more likely to listen when they know you’re on their side. Try to reinforce why you don’t want your child to drink—not just be- cause you say so but because you want them to be happy and safe. The conversation will go a lot bet- ter if you’re working with, and not against, your child. Keep it low key. Don’t worry about getting ev- erything across in one talk. Many small talks are ?better. Help for Parents If you are worried your child may be involved with alcohol or drugs, it’s important to seek pro- fessional guidance. Your pediatri- cian can be a fi rst-stop resource. There are also many online re- sources to help you better under- stand the issue of underage drink- ing and talk to and encourage your kid to stay away from alcohol. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has underage drinking prevention resources specifi cally for parents and caregivers at www. samhsa.gov/underage-drinking. This includes access to SAMHSA’s free app for parents called “Talk. They Hear You” to help prepare you to talk to your kid about un- derage drinking through practice drills. By being proactive and fol- lowing the suggestions described here, you can help strengthen your child’s resistance to alcohol. Take the fi rst step by making the commitment to talk together to- day.
