June is National Homeownership Month, which makes now a good time to ask an important question: Does your homeowners insurance still match the home you have today? Many homeowners set their policy once and rarely revisit it, but when updates are made or coverage needs change, coverage can quickly become outdated, leading to costly surprises at claim time.

Here are a few common homeowners insurance mistakes to avoid.

🏠 Unreported renovations - Kitchen upgrades, finished basements, or added structures such as sheds or garages can increase replacement costs, but current coverage may not reflect recent upgrades.

🏠 No home inventory - Without photos, receipts, or a basic list of belongings, it can be harder to document losses and support a claim.

🏠 Missing endorsements - Endorsements (also referred to as riders) can increase limits for high-value items or add coverage for things like sewer backup or equipment breakdown. If you’ve added valuable items or your needs have changed, adding an endorsement can help ensure that your home remains fully covered.

A policy review now can help catch small issues before they become bigger problems during a claim. Contact our office, and we can help you review your homeowners policy and ensure your coverage reflects your home, belongings, and current needs.

June is Men's Health Month, and there is no better time to encourage you or the men in your life to take advantage of preventive screenings included with their health care coverage. Preventive screenings are among the most powerful tools for early detection of serious illnesses, and catching something early can make all the difference.

Here are some key screenings and wellness checks worth knowing about and at what age they start:

✅ Cholesterol checks - These key preventive screenings should start at 17 to monitor heart health and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. They’re recommended every four to six years.
✅ Diabetes screening - Diabetes screenings are recommended to begin at age 35 and every three years after, or earlier if risk factors are present, such as family history or being overweight.
✅ Prostate cancer screening - Men should start receiving regular prostate cancer screenings with their doctor, typically starting around age 50, or earlier for those with higher risk factors.
✅ Colorectal cancer screening - For men, a colonoscopy is recommended starting at age 45 for those with average risk and should be repeated every 10 years. The frequency of screening may increase based on your doctor’s assessment of your risk level.
✅ General mental health screening - These screenings are often conducted at annual checkups, at any age. They are a good time to speak openly with your provider about anxiety, depression, or any changes in your mood.

Every man's health journey looks different, so it’s best to talk with your doctor about which screenings are right for your age, history, and lifestyle.

This CPR and AED Awareness Week, it is worth asking: Does your team know what to do if an emergency happens on the clock?

There are a few misconceptions that often get in the way of workplace preparedness when it comes to using cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and an automated external defibrillator (AED) in an emergency. Equipping your team with this knowledge is one of the most meaningful investments you can make in workplace safety.

A homeowners policy should not be something you buy once and forget. Rebuilding costs, liability exposure, and property risks can all change over time, and if your policy has not kept up, a loss can reveal coverage gaps at the worst possible moment.

Since June is National Homeownership Month, our team wanted to share a few homeowners insurance mistakes that can cause problems later down the line:

🏠 Outdated dwelling coverage - Rebuilding costs have increased significantly over the years. A home insured for $300,000 a few years ago may cost far more to rebuild today, leaving a potential coverage gap.

🏠 Choosing coverage based primarily on price - Focusing only on the lowest premium can lead to higher deductibles, lower limits, or key exclusions, which can create high out-of-pocket costs in the event of an emergency.

🏠 Ignoring flood or earthquake risk - Many homeowners assume these are covered under a standard policy, but these perils typically require separate coverage. Even in moderate- or low-risk areas, events such as heavy rainfall or ground movement can still cause costly damage.

🏠 Overlooking liability coverage limits - If someone is injured on the property or there’s accidental damage to others’ property, insufficient liability limits could leave the homeowner responsible for significant out-of-pocket costs.

A quick review can provide a clearer picture of how your policy would respond in a real claim and whether any limits, exclusions, or gaps need attention. Contact our office to schedule a policy review, and we can go over your terms and make sure your coverage still fits your home today.

Hartwick Pines campers, following DNR Parks and Recreation Policy, campsites must be occupied within 24 hours of your arrival date. If not checked in by 3 PM the next day, your campsite will automatically be moved to “No-show”, canceling your stay.

While this policy is not new, our reservation system will now automatically cancel no-shows in place of park staff manually removing the reservation. By booking a campsite and choosing not to come without canceling, it takes away the chance for another visitor to enjoy that spot.

To make changes to your reservation, visit midnrreservations.com or call 1 (800) 44-PARKS.
