June 30, 2017 (Mainichi Japan)

Calls urging Defense Minister Tomomi Inada to be replaced in a Cabinet reshuffle over her recent gaffe are intensifying even within the ruling coalition.

Despite demands from opposition parties, Prime Minister Abe will not immediately dismiss Inada, but is likely to carefully look into whether to replace her when he reshuffles his Cabinet.

Inada came under fire for suggesting in a June 27 campaign speech for a ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) candidate in the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly election, that the Self-Defense Forces back the candidate.

"I would like to ask for your support on behalf of the Defense Ministry and the Self-Defense Forces, as the defense minister, and on behalf of the Liberal Democratic Party," she said. She retracted her remark later in the day.

In a meeting of an LDP intraparty faction he leads, Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida expressed concern that Inada's gaffe has adversely affected the party's chance of winning the metropolitan assembly election.

"Rather than debate on policy issues in Tokyo, individual legislators' words and deeds have worsened the party's image and adversely affected the election," he said.

The prime minister is considering reshuffling his Cabinet simultaneously with the change in party executives as their terms expire in September.

A senior official of the ruling coalition called for replacing Inada. "Inada should be replaced at the time of the next Cabinet reshuffle," the official said.

An LDP member who previously served as a Cabinet minister raised questions about the prime minister's decision to retain Inada for now. "She should've been forced to step down earlier," he said.

A close aide to Prime Minister Abe pointed to the possibility that the prime minister will have no choice but to replace Inada. "The prime minister doesn't think Inada needs to step down immediately, but you never know how he will respond in the future," the aide said.

Prime Minister Abe is expected to decide how to address the situation, including when to reshuffle his Cabinet, after the July 2 metropolitan assembly election.

NEW YORK >> If you build it, they will stay.

The small businesses that dominate the home remodeling industry are expecting robust growth in the next few years, thanks partly to baby boomers who want to remain in their homes.

Home remodelers say theyve had a pickup in projects from boomers who are in or approaching retirement and are seeking to modify their houses. Its a trend known as aging in place, an alternative to moving to smaller quarters or a warmer climate.

Many of these homeowners are hoping to make their surroundings easier to manage and safer in case they have health problems.

Theyre replacing bathtubs with walk-in showers, installing safety rails, widening doorways and building ramps features known as universal design since they can be used by anyone, regardless of physical ability. Boomers are also redoing their kitchens and sprucing up other areas since theyre staying put, they want to enjoy their surroundings.

Zach Tyson estimates that 30 percent to 40 percent of his revenue is now coming from boomer renovations, up from 15 percent to 20 percent five years ago. Most of the projects come from homeowners who are healthy and mobile now, but want to be prepared if illness or injury hits.

Besides making bathrooms safer, theyre enlarging rooms so wheelchairs or walkers can be used more easily, and also to give the rooms a more open feel.

Its trending up, for sure, says Tyson, co-owner of Tyson Construction in Destrehan, Louisiana.

The oldest of the 76.4 million boomers, the U.S. generation born after World War II, are turning 71 this year. As more of them retire and make decisions about where they want to live, there will be a great need for accessible housing, according to a report released in February by Harvard Universitys Joint Center for Housing Studies.

A large share of these households live in older homes in the Northeast and Midwest, where the housing stocks have few if any universal design features, the study says.

The report predicts home improvement spending by homeowners 65 and older will account for nearly a third of the total amount of remodeling dollars by 2025, more than twice the portion that group spent in 1995-2005. Owners age 55 and over already account for just over half of all home improvement spending.

The boomer activity seems to be driving the market, says Abbe Will, a research analyst at the Harvard center.

Thats a change from the past, when older homeowners generally handled maintenance, repairs and landscaping but tended not to renovate. And some of the boomer-driven remodeling is coming from younger homeowners who expect their parents might later come to live with them and want to be ready, Tyson says.

The requests Tiffany and Bryan Peters get from boomer customers include replacing traditional turning doorknobs with lever handles that can be pushed down. Homeowners want motion-sensor light switches and faucets, and non-slip flooring. In bathrooms, theyre replacing fixtures with models that are designed for people with disabilities showers than can accommodate wheelchairs, and toilets at the same height as wheelchairs, Tiffany Peters says.

Weve definitely experienced an increase in requests for aging-in-place work, says Peters, who with her husband owns a Handyman Connection franchise business in Winchester, Virginia. We get several requests a month.

Home remodeling companies began seeing an increase in boomer spending about 18 months ago and expect it to contribute to their growth in the next few years, says Fred Ulreich, CEO of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry, a trade group.

We see this as something that is dramatically affecting the marketplace, Ulreich says.

Boomers typically live in homes that are several decades old, prime targets for remodeling, Ulreich says. Unless they move to a brand-new home thats designed for aging in place, their decision is likely to mean remodeling.

Sal Ferro says boomers are his biggest group of customers, but hes not getting many requests for aging-in-place projects. Its more renovations to make their homes more enjoyable.

Theyre finally getting the projects done that they always wanted. Theyre getting that kitchen or bathroom, says Ferro, owner of Alure Home Improvements, based in East Meadow, New York.

Some remodeling companies are specifically marketing to boomers, sending salespeople to trade expos and events those customers are likely to attend.

Miracle Method, a franchise business that refinishes kitchens and bathrooms, has increased its outreach to boomers, says Erin Gilliam, the companys marketing manager. Franchise owners say much of the 11 percent growth in the franchises overall business in the past year was driven by boomers, she says.

Gilliams husband, Gabriel, sees the trend in the franchise he owns in Salt Lake City. He estimates that revenue from boomers has risen between 10 and 20 percent, and the growth is prompting him to hire more workers. He has five staffers now, having added one per month the past three months, and expects to reach 10 in the next year.

Im hiring as quickly as I can, he says.

ROCKFORD A Rockford man is scheduled to be arraigned next month on charges that he grew marijuana insidethe basement of avacant southeast Rockford residence.

Seth Gallagher, 41, was arrestedJune 5 after police raided a homein the 3400 block of Broadway and found57 cannabis sativa plants growing in the basement of the residence, according to the criminal complaint.

Gallagher was not at the residence when police arrived, according to the probable cause statement. However, while police were removing components of the indoor growing operation, an officer said he saw Gallaghers white Ford F-150 truck drive by.

The officer got into an unmarked squad car and watched Gallagher circle the area and drive by the residence again before he stopped the vehicle.

Gallagher, who lives on Longvalley Drive, told police he owned the Broadway home for about 10 years and last lived there about five years ago. Since then, the house has sat vacant. Gallaghertold police he was using the house as part of his plumbing business, according to the complaint.

He also told police he has been growing marijuana in the basement of the residence for the past five years for personal use butdid not sell the cultivated cannabis.

Gallagher was charged with producing 50 to 200 cannabis plants and is scheduled to be arraigned at 8:30 a.m. July 6 before Judge Ron White.

Gallagher's attorney, Debra Schafer of Schafer, Derango & Cain, LLP, said the case is being prosecuted by the Illinois Attorney General's Office, but did not know why.

Calls to the Attorney's General's Office were not returned.

If I had my life to live over again, Id be a plumber. Albert Einstein

Many years ago when I was in junior high school and beyond, teachers administered aptitude tests from time to time.

We were told the results of these tests would help us figure out what job or career for which we were most suited.

I have no memory of any guidance counselor ever sitting down with my test results and me to help determine what I ought to do with my life.

So, I winged it. I liked English and did well in it, so I majored in it. And I taught it for a time. Later, I went to graduate school, studied journalism and have been working at it for 30 years.

From time to time for the past two years, however, Ive wished Id learned yet another job.

Its down and dirty. Emergencies can clog up scheduled time off and holidays. But its an important job, and if you own your own business, I suppose you can choose to work or not.

And I can speak only from the customers perspective, but the moneys awfully good.

Yes, its true. I couldve been a plumber.

For nearly two years, the bathroom in my basement has been out of commission. Its not used much, except when we have company.

Imagine during the holidays with family staying downstairs, and at least six folks having to share the one upstairs bathroom. Sure, its doable, but its not easy.

The first plumber who came early on worked all day and wasnt quite confident in his diagnosis. He wanted to tear up the entire floor to the tune of several thousand dollars.

A few months later, another plumber overheard us talking about the problem and said hed never met a problem he couldnt repair. He visited, worked for hours and gave us a different diagnosis than Plumber #1.

We waited a while before deciding to try a third plumber. And that is where our journey into the world of stopped-up pipes took a turn into the Twilight Zone.

Many plumbers told me it would be weeks, perhaps even months, before they could get to me.

A few told me theyd come by, set a date to do so, then never showed up. That happened at least four times. These guys all were recommended highly by people I know.

Theyre just busy, I was told when Id complain to those praising their plumbing skills.

Busy is great. But dont tell me you will be at my house at a certain time, then dont show up without notice. It takes only a moment to send a text or call to say youre not coming.

Beyond frustration, we forgot about our basement bathroom for several more months. In truth, we forgot about the basement all together, using it instead as a catch-all place when we renovated our kitchen.

But a month ago, the time had come. I got yet another recommendation from my friend Derek Russell, made the call, told my lengthy story and got my name put on this plumbers list. Two weeks later, he called and said my number was up and he actually came to the house.

After two visits and a diagnosis that matched that of Plumber #2 from more than a year earlier, he set a date to begin the repair.

Again, he showed up. Our East Tupelo home once again has two working bathrooms.

In addition to showing up, knowing his stuff and sticking with a difficult and unpleasant task to the end, he is one of the nicest people Ive ever met.

Whether he needs me on his list of clients or not, hes got me.

Maybe I could have been a plumber, but now, thanks to Charles, I dont have to be.

On This Page: What to Expect

With professional house cleaning, get several detailed cleaning quotes. The average price to hire a cleaning service is between $90 and $150. Rates vary depending on the size of your home and what services you want. Frequency is also a factor; many service providers offer lower rates for weekly cleanings compared to monthly or bimonthly ones. Additional charges often apply for:

If your home is outside the provider's regular service area, they may also charge a fee for travel. Ask questions about all of thesecleaning services and how they'll factor into your total.

There are various chores you can have a professional do around your home. To ensure a good deal, get quotes from several services, as some might offer package deals or special rates depending on the season and other factors. As a baseline, here are average prices for common services offered by house cleaning companies:

If you hire a professional service or individual to clean your house on an hourly basis rather than by square footage, then you're looking at different prices depending on a few factors. First, are you hiring one person or a service? Two, how often are you hiring them to clean your house? Once a week? Every other week? Once a month? While you can calculate an average hourly rate, it's good know what you might be paying on a weekly or monthly basis, just in case. Prices and considerations for an individual versus a service vary widely. Some rates you could be looking at are:

Note these could change depending on how large your house is as well. If you have a small apartment or condo, it could be towards the lower end. If your home has many rooms or stories, it could be towards the high end, if not higher than this estimate. Research shows that the average hourly cleaning rate for U.S. maid cleaning services is between $25 and $45 per hour, so keep that in mind when getting quotes. However, house keepers and individuals have to work alone and can't get to as many houses in a day as a service, so they will charge above that average.

When you hire a professional cleaning service, they will either charge you by the hour or square foot. If you are having one room cleaned, it's usually more cost-effective to charge by the hour. If you are having your whole home cleaned, they will typically charge by the square foot. Some other factors that may affect your rate include:

You can negotiate withresidential cleaning services to reach a fair price. But don't focus so much on money that you sacrifice service. If, for example, a company charges by the hour and you're unwilling to pay for sufficient time to get all of the tasks done, you may be dissatisfied with the end result.

If you want to save money on professional home cleaning services, here are some steps you can take:

Choose a company that provides all the services you need at the right price. Don't get the cheapest service you can find, nor the most expensive. Check online reviews and speak with past clients to get an idea of what to expect. You're likely to find a cleaning company that falls within your budget.

If you hire a cleaning service that comes on a weekly basis, you can do things around the house to cut down on cleaning time. Do small tasks like quickly dusting open surfaces or taking out the trash. The more small jobs you do, the less they have to do on a weekly or monthly basis.

Although you can hire a professional cleaning service to do almost anything, you don't have to. Choose certain rooms for them to clean instead. Pick the rooms that need the most work or get a lot of foot traffic. That way, you save money and still have a mostly clean home.

You should always have cleaning supplies available for the professionals. There's no reason to pay extra for their supplies when it's cheaper to provide your own. As an added benefit, when you need to clean a room or tidy up a mess, you'll have what you need on hand.

There can be significant differences when you hire an individual rather than a professional cleaning company. These include the cost to hire, potential legal issues, and availability. In either case, it's important to ask a lot of questions, so you know exactly what you're getting for your money. Individual housekeepers can offer specific services beyond just cleaning, like folding clothes, cooking meals, childcare and so on. However, if they get sick or have to go on vacation, you won't have a replacement. There may also be legal issues involved, so if you're not working with a licensed and bonded company, it's best to take a few extra steps to protect yourself:

Cleaning services have advantages and drawbacks as well. A cleaning service has a whole team of people at its disposal, so there are usually backups available. They can be more thorough because they may send a team rather than an individual. However, they try to cover many homes in a day, so they may be in a hurry and offer less individualized service.

In addition to house cleaning, there are other types of cleaning services available to homeowners. Depending on how much work you want to give to a professional, you can potentially save time on a lot of home cleaning projects. Here are some popular cleaning services professionals handle.

Average cost: $150

Vacuuming is a great short-term solution to keeping your carpet in shape. However, it also needs periodic deep cleaning for longevity, which sometimes sounds like a cheap cleaning task but can be hurtful if done incorrectly. It's recommended that you have your carpet deep-cleaned every year to 18 months, depending on its warranty and the amount of foot traffic. You can either have your carpet steam cleaned or dry cleaned, though steam cleaning is the most common method. If you get carpet cleaning quotes from professionals, some questions to ask are:

Before the carpet cleaners arrive, mark out problem areas like pet stains, coffee spots and blotches with tape. Remove anything that's fragile in case the cleaners need to move furniture. Carpet cleaning is an efficient way to get out those stains and keep your warranty in tact.

Average cost: $150

To prevent fires and carbon monoxide poisoning, you need to have your chimney cleaned on a regular basis. It needs to have leaves, debris and creosote removed before you spark a fire in the fireplace. Be sure to ask a chimney cleaner:

There's going to be a lot of soot and debris that comes out during a chimney cleaning, so be sure to ask about mats and sheets to cover your furniture and flooring. You'll want to be out of the room during this process. If you have pets or children, you'll want them out of the room as well, so they don't inhale the soot or spread it with their feet.

Return to Top

Average cost: $200 to $400

Your siding needs regular maintenance and care, especially following major inclement weather. Check for heavy stains like rust, mildew or grime on the surface. You can sometimes take this off with a scrubber, while more stubborn stains may require a power washer. Be aware that power washers can damage doors and windows. You can hire a professional to operate a power washer for anywhere between $200 and $400. They will need to use an extension wand to get to the higher parts of your home. You should also be sure to close all of your windows and doors so water doesn't blast through and damage the interior.

Average cost: $200

Your windows build up a lot of dust, debris and grime. By bringing in a professional at least twice a year, you'll enjoy clean windows without scratches, streaks or marks. A window-cleaning service will charge depending on factors like:

Window cleaners use some of the same cleaning supplies you would use to get your windows looking sparkling bright. It's when they have a lot of mineral deposits or grease that specialized chemicals are needed. If you want to keep your windows in good shape and cut down on costs, you can regularly wash your windows with a sponge or soft cloth.

Return to Top

Average cost: $150

Over time, especially in the fall and winter, your gutters and downspouts gather a lot of leaves and debris that prevent them from draining moisture away from the roof. Also, certain types of trees locust, oaks and maples, for example drop a lot of leaves in the spring and summer, which build up even more debris. While homeowners could risk climbing a ladder and removing the debris themselves, this is too dangerous for many. Gutter and downspout cleaning professionals can come in and do this job without putting their lives at risk, and it's not very expensive. They can also check for any cracks or holes in the gutters that may contribute to drainage problems, and install netting over the gutters to prevent debris from building up.

Average cost: $325

Your heating and cooling system relies on a series of metal ducts to deliver hot and cool air into your home. Over time, these ducts can get clogged with dust and debris. Left unchecked, this could encourage mold, attract pests and rodents and affect your health. Duct and vent cleaning involves strong vacuum suction to remove debris. But don't try this with your regular household vacuum. Vacuum systems designed for duct cleaning are considerably more powerful and can remove dust and debris that is trapped far down into your duct work. The cost of duct cleaning depends on the size of your home.

A professional should be able to give you an accurate cleaning quote by knowing the size of your home and HVAC system. Hiring a home cleaning service is a great way to take some everyday chores off your to-do list and give yourself a stress-saving gift. By doing your homework ahead of time, you'll know what to expect and how to make sure you get what you want from the service you work with. Once you try it, you'll find that a thorough, professional home cleaning is an investment well worth the time and money you put into it.

Debbie Sardone of Flower Mound, founder and president of nonprofit Cleaning For A Reason.

Significant growth is in store for Lewisville-nonprofit Cleaning For A Reason. The organization, which offers free house cleaning to women battling cancer, has just been adopted by ISSA, the worldwide cleaning industry association.

We are so honored to be joining ISSA, said Cleaning For A Reason President and Founder Debbie Sardone of Flower Mound. We will be able to take our outreach from the U.S. and Canada to other places worldwide. This means more women will benefit from our mission, and we cant thank ISSA enough for making that happen.

Cleaning For A Reason is sending the message that help is on the way for more women, as the nonprofit focuses on womens homes, so they can focus on their health. With this advancement in the industry will come more resources and abilities, and in turn, more influence for Cleaning For A Reason as a whole.

ISSA has supported us since the organizations inception, and it just makes sense for Cleaning For A Reason and ISSA to work together, Sardone said. For more than a decade, weve been approached by people from different countries, asking if we can expand to other territories. The good news is, now we can.

Founded in 1923 by Alfred Richter, ISSA is a cause-driven trade association for the cleaning industry worldwide and is headquartered in Northbrook, IL. With more than 7,000 members in the commercial and residential cleaning industry, the association accomplishes Richters original goal of uniting the cleaning industry as a community.

ISSA Foundation, the philanthropic arm of ISSA, was later created to raise and provide funds for scholarships, research grants, and other programs that promote the welfare of the general public as it relates to the sanitation, cleaning, and maintenance industry. With such a strong goal in mind and community at hand through the ISSA Foundation, Cleaning For A Reason hopes to double or triple its outreach.

I cant think of a more worthy cause or better fit for ISSA than Cleaning For A Reason, said John Barrett, ISSA Executive Director. We cant remove a womans cancer, but we can wipe away one of her worries.

As more and more women are being diagnosed, more lives are being turned upside down. Easing the burden of a messy environment while minimizing tasks for women with cancer is what Cleaning For A Reason does. The organization has over 1,200 maid services that donate free house cleaning to these women. Since 2006, the nonprofits partner maid services have volunteered their time to clean for over 25,000 women services valued at over $6,500,000. This number is expected to grow exponentially with the upcoming partnership.

The efforts of Cleaning For A Reason have not gone unnoticed, as it ranked #2 on Readers Digest list of 25 Uplifting, Quirky Things That Could Only Happen in America, and was introduced by Oprah back in 2009 as an invaluable gift to women undergoing cancer treatment.

The partnership is not just a change, but an improvement and growth upon an original and core value that both organizations share. In Sardones words, Cancer isnt limited to one place; it hits every culture, so with this merging of missions, the Texas nonprofit aims to continue sweeping the planet with a heartfelt mission of cleaning for a reason.
