Nearby: Cornelius, NCCornelius, NC / Storyteller / Nov 11, 2026 / As roadside leaf collection gets underway in Cornelius, Great State Roofing has published a seasonal rain checklist for homeowners in the Lake Norman area. The checklist explains how to use observations from a window and a ground-level walk after the rain to document where water leaves the roof and where it ends up. Local leaf collection updateThe Cornelius roofing team recommends starting with three exterior observations. Note whether water spills over the front of a gutter, runs down the board behind it, or leaves the downspout and pools next to the house. When runoff spills in the same place during several rains, record the location and whether the rain was steady or unusually heavy. Observations like these can help a professional narrow down where to look, from the gutter outlet to the connection between the gutter and roof edge.

Nearby: Salisbury, NCI read with interest Susan Shinn Turner’s results from her breast cancer exam. (Susan was a long-time running client when she still lived in Salisbury). In fact, we were on one of her training runs in 2013 that went south for me and led to the discovery of a major blood clot that resulted from a cross-country bike ride. The important goal for me that parallels Susan’s breast cancer exam is PSA testing to stay aware of prostate issues that may lead to cancer. As men age, prostate issue awareness is important. The prostate produces semen, propels it through the urethra and helps with urinary regulation. A PSA test is a simple blood test that will show abnormality. This year, it is estimated that nearly 300,000 new prostate cancer cases will be diagnosed. While there’s no single test to detect prostate cancer, doctors commonly use the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test as a screening tool. The test measures the amount of PSA, a protein that your prostate makes, in your blood.
