Whether you own a business or run a household, inevitably you will find yourself in a dispute: a contractor's work is incomplete or unsatisfactory; a property owner refuses to pay for work performed; a financial advisor or broker fails to properly advise and invest in accordance with your needs or instructions: a nursing home resident and family have concerns about the quality of care being given; a resident's family fails to honor their agreement to pay timely for the care and services that an aging parent is receiving.

How are—or should—these disputes be resolved? In our system of civil justice, there are essentially three ways to accomplish this, all of which avoid a "duel at 20 paces," which did not work out very well for Alexander Hamilton in 1804.

Public hearings, where neighbors plead with a planning or zoning board to deny an application, are common. Often, the neighbors bring up good points that help improve a project. But sometimes neighbors raise concerns that later seem to be ignored by the board. Sometimes neighbors feel like the “fix is in.” Read more: https://www.mccmlaw.com/news-and-articles/articles/not-in-my-backyard-wh...

The Town of Perinton announced that the Rochester Events concerts held at the Perinton Amphitheater drew thousands of music lovers and benefitted our local community. Performances by notable bands like Blues Traveler and Joe Russo's Almost Dead had an impact beyond the music.

Over 11,000 tickets were sold, raising over $11,000 for the Fairport Foundation, a local non-profit dedicated to enhancing the quality of life in Perinton and Fairport. Visitors flocked from across the country and Canada to enjoy these performances!

The Fairport Foundation plays a crucial role in supporting community initiatives. Through partnerships with organizations like Learning Links, which provides educational resources and opportunities, and the Fairport Public Art Committee, which brings vibrant art installations to public spaces, the Foundation helps foster a more engaged, enriched community. Its reach extends to numerous educational and cultural projects that benefit residents of all ages.

Town Supervisor Ciaran Hanna recently announced that many programs and events offered by Perinton Recreation & Parks are now more affordable than ever, thanks to our partnership with Rochester Events. Some events have even been reduced to $5 or are entirely free, as part of the Town's Free or Five initiative, supporting families and encouraging community participation.

Push ups are exercises that “seem” easy, but are complex. Many variations can make the push-up much harder, if done right.

When athletes come to Fit Strength Performance and attempt push-ups, they often struggle to complete 10 or more, due to poor form.

Performing push-ups with proper form is vital for many reasons.

1. Proper upper body mobility and posture.
2. Core strength.
3. Hip range of motion: Athletes often let their belly hit the ground in push-ups. This causes an anterior pelvic tilt that can limit hip range of motion, but also cause back pain.
4. Functional upper-body strength

Push-ups earn upper body and core strength and increase hip and upper-back range of motion.

Try these push-up variations. You'll feel your upper body work and your hips, hamstrings, and lower and upper back will feel great!

1. Yoga Push-Up
2. Off-Set Push-Up with Posterior Expansion
