Tree down? Answer Man says it's still got life (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dear Answer Man: I lost a small tree in the wind storm on Sept. 1. I've run two loads of brush to the Rochester brush dump, and I wondered what all of that wood is used for? How much more brush than normal has the dump gotten this month, compared to a normal September? — Wood Chuck. First, my sympathies for your tree. That said, the Wise Woman keeps praying a hefty gust will take down a certain pine tree in our yard. So far, the wind gods have not answered her prayers. That said, Answer Man chec
Reader asks about accessibility for Rochester fishing piers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dear Answer Man: I am 84 years old and love to fish. I have a boat but had to give it up because of my health. My problem is that all the city's lakes and reservoirs' fishing piers all seem to have long, uphill walks from the parking lots. For winter, I bought an ATV for ice fishing which works great (it's cost me about $2,000 a fish at this point). If I bought an electric handicap scooter to use at Cascade Lake or Willow Creek Reservoir would that be allowed? — Frustrated Fisherman. Answer Man
How does Rochester clean the water used in splash pads? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dear Answer Man: We had four splash pads that were working this summer, and apparently more on the way in 2027. With all those folks — mainly kids — playing in all that water, what is the system for recycling and/or filtering the water used at the splash pads in Rochester? — Sanitary Sanborn. No one wants to splash around in icky water. So, looking for the unfiltered truth when it comes to filtering and recycling water, Answer Man reached out to the city of Rochester, where Raquel Hellman, one o
Urgent vs. express: What level of care is offered by Mayo Clinic in Rochester? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dear Answer Man: Mayo Clinic is the dominant health care provider in Rochester, yet it doesn’t appear to operate a full-service urgent care clinic the way many other large health systems do. They offer express care (for minor issues that don’t need X-rays or lab work) and a busy emergency department, but nothing that sits in the middle for things like sprains, minor fractures or illnesses that need same-day imaging or blood work. Why has Mayo chosen not to open a conventional urgent care in Roch
Storms and sirens: Answer Man knows when one begets another (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dear Answer Man: Those early morning storms on Wednesday, Sept. 2, instigated the warning sirens in Rochester. While those sirens warn people about bad weather or other major calamities, what I don't know is once the sirens have been activated, where should the citizens go to get more detailed information about the evolving situation? News organizations seem to be more reactionary than in-the-moment informative. Surely, there must be a specific recommended web page citizens should check whenever
