Circa 2011. Jim was a
friend. A lazy friend.
One day Jim, who
worked for me, came by the
office to pay a visit. You see
Jim was a nice guy, just lazy.
(Did I point that out already?)
On this particular visit we
were talking about the state of
my company and I mentioned
how I really needed one more
salesperson. After a few sec-
onds he said, “Why don’t you
hire me?” Once the shock of
what he said wore off I decid-
ed to ask him one simple ques-
tion, “Would you hire you?”
Without hesitation he smiled
and said, NO.
The good news is he
knew himself well, at least
when it came to his work
ethic. The bad news is that
while he knew this truth, he
did nothing to change it.
Think about it…
Do you live in a comfort
zone? One that repels change?
If so let me tell you there is a
brave new world out there.
One that will make us feel
comfortable and move us to
action and ultimately change.
After awhile, the comfort
zone can really stink!

These were three head-
lines from three finan-
cial periodicals last
week that came across my
desk. They were written by
respectable writers with very
obvious strong opinions. Can
they all be correct and at the
same time? Invariably, history
has shown us that a good num-
ber of people hesitate to invest
at the bottom of the market,
thinking there is more room
on the downside. They wait
and wait as the market is mov-
ing back up showing sustained
upward momentum beforeleaping in. They wait for the
headline that reads, “Investor
Confidence is Up” before get-
ting off the fence and you
know what, they waited too
long! Then the second head-
line, “The Big Market Crash
of 2015!” headline makes the
front page of the paper and
these people knew that they
should not have gotten back
into the markets at that time.
Though they might lose a
small or a big fortune in the
crash, they feel vindicated in
their decision to wait, just not
long enough; instead of the
proper position of, “I never
should have left the market!”
Let’s talk about headline
number 3. “The End of the
Middle Class in America!” Doyou agree? Are families being
pushed into poverty or step-
ping-up to the wealthy class?
These are the only two possi-
ble directions upon leaving
the middle class. I’ve written
about inflation and the costs
of goods and services, taxa-
tion, both income and proper-
ty taxes in this column for
over seven years now. We
have all been witness to our
net disposable income being
whittled away by increasing
taxes, insurance premiums and
rising energy costs, we have
seen our grocery bill rise with
certainty and have known
people who were forced into
decisions of delaying their
retirement or move to a less
expensive State to live.Savings rates have fallen from
8%, 20 years ago to the cur-
rent rate of less than ½ of 1%.
Remember when a million
dollars was really a million
dollars and one could live like
a “millionaire” off of the inter-
est that sum was able to gener-
ate? Forever!?
We were taught by our
parents and the public school
system to get a good job with
benefits and for that era might
not have been totally bad
advice; however it should
have been accompanied by
the lecture of live below your
means and save and invest at
least 10% of your earnings
outside and in addition to the
company plan. I do believe
the 3rd headline, that themiddle class will be forced into
living with their children and
children living with their par-
ents purely for economic rea-
sons. Why pay two mortgages
and utility bills when only one
is necessary. A better lifestyle
is possible when combining
resources, where parents can
travel knowing that the home-
stead is occupied, protected
and cared for by their chil-
dren; and children can afford
to save and invest more for
their future, which, is not
optional in order to have a
retirement free from working.
Today, there are invest-
ment programs available that
guarantee* a lifetime income
for both husband and wife,then return the original
investment or more, back to
the children at the parents
passing. There are programs
available that may increase
the lifetime income each year
even if the account balance is
simultaneously dropping.
There are programs available,
for the informed that will pass
hundreds of thousands of dol-
lars to your beneficiaries, but,
along the way if needed for
any long-term care claims will
provide the money for that. It
goes without saying that one
must study these programs to
determine which one, or a
combination of them, would
be best for your particular situ-ation.
I hope my column today
has given you pause to reflect
and ponder about your own
retirement portfolio. Would
the crash of 2015, or during
any year, fatally injure your
income? Can you afford to let
that happen? A long-term
care stay, at home or in a
home, has the potential to
severely injure a retirement
portfolio. Of course, one could
purchase a traditional long-
term care policy, but, is that
the best option today? I think
there is a better alternative.

Ask ten people how
they feel about
Valentine’s Day and
it would be plausible, if not
definite, to get ten different
answers. Some suggest it is a
“created holiday” only con-
ceived to make money by
manipulating women and
men in its importance. Others
(read as single people) take a
more bitter stance to the day
and its in-your-face (you can’t
open your eyes without seeing
a heart), overpriced flowers (it
does get ridiculous), chocolate
covered everything (well
everyone loves chocolate cov-
ered on something) approach
that is Valentine’s Day.
Whatever one may
think, in reality the day of
“love” is simply that; one day
out of the year that calls out
everybody and brings his or
her feelings to the forefront.
Whether single or committed,
Valentine’s Day makes you
think about loved ones. Silly
at times with a little too much
focus on the material aspects
of it, February 14th is not
about giving or receiving gifts,
although lately it has evolved
to that. At its core,
Valentine’s Day is about dedi-
cating yourself unconditional-
ly to a loved one for 24 hours.
One may say that people
should always treat each other
this way and it’s true, but
unfortunately unrealistic. Too

Valentine’s Day, A
simple reminder By Ryan Banta

Valentine’s Day is upon
us. This is a day to
celebrate our loved
ones and show them we care.
We also have to take care of
our four-legged loved ones, as
some Valentine’s Day gifts and
ideas may be hazardous to our
pets.
The most obvious warn-
ing is: Don’t let your pets eat
chocolate. Chocolate is one of
the traditional gifts on
Valentine’s Day but can be
very dangerous to pets, even
life threatening. The toxic
compounds in chocolate are
methylxanthines, mainly
theobromine and, less impor-
tantly, caffeine. The amounts
of theobromine and caffeine
vary with the type of choco-
late. For instance, unsweet-
ened (Baker’s) chocolate con-
tains 8 to 10 times the amount
of theobromine as milk
chocolate. This is a very com-
mon toxicity in dogs and seen
less in cats just by nature of
their eating habits.
Clinical signs of choco-
late toxicity usually occur
within six to 12 hours of
ingestion. Theobromine
affects the body as a central
nervous system stimulant,
cardiovascular stimulant,
increases blood pressure and
nausea. Therefore, common
signs of chocolate toxicity are:
vomiting, diarrhea, hyperac-
tivity, tremors, seizures, fast
heart rate and, in severe cases,
death. If your pet ingests
chocolate, contact your vet-
erinarian or poison control
immediately for treatment.
Also, knowing the type and
quantity of chocolate ingested
is helpful.
Another potential haz-
ard for pets on this ‘sweet’ hol-
iday is any ‘sugar-free’ gum or
candy. They commonly con-
tain the sugar substitute xyli-
tol. Signs of xylitol toxicity
can be seen as quickly as 30
minutes and causes a sudden
drop in the body’s blood sugar
(hypoglycemia). This may
result in weakness, depression,
loss of coordination, seizures,
coma and even liver failure.
Treatment should be initiated
immediately if ingestion
occurs.

though they are romantic, can
be toxic for your pet. The
biggest culprits are lilies. They
are highly toxic to cats, so
make sure your cats can’t get
near them, or choose a differ-
ent variety of flower but not
tulips (the bulbs are the most
toxic). Amaryllis, daisies,
chrysanthemums or any flow-
ers with thorns may be poten-
tially dangerous flowers.
Leftover gift-wrapping or
decorations are enticing for
curious cats. Make sure all rib-
bons, bows and other wrap-
ping are out of your pets’
reach and cleaned up. Cats
especially like chewing on
strings or ribbons which can
cause choking or worse, an
obstruction in the intestines

many times we get caught in
the daily web of work, respon-
sibilities, and other frivolous
tasks that seem important onany given day. Valentine’s
Day makes people check
themselves and reminds them
of what is essential; why they
work hard every day and
night, and that is for the peo-
ple we love.
If it were up to most of us
we would be on a beach some-
where not stressing about
tomorrow and loving today,
instead we work hard hour to
hour losing countless nights
of sleep, and we do it for the
people we love. I do not see
anything wrong with a day
that reminds us of that.
Happy Valentine’s Day,
make the best out of it.
Love ya!

that could require emergency
surgery.
Candles are also a nice
touch on Valentine’s Day but
not to paws and fur. Don’tleave candles unattended, as
pets can easily be burned or
the candles could be knocked
over, causing a fire.
One last warning is not
to give pets as gifts. Puppies
and kittens are very cute and
cuddly but owning a pet is a
big undertaking. Purchasing a
pet should be done in a
responsible way and only after
a lot of research. If you’reready, you should consider
adopting a pet from your local
shelter. These steps can be
done together and are roman-
tic and rewarding.
Have a sweet and safe
Valentine’s Day!

Dietary and Lifestyle Changes Without Proper Hydration,Many Unhealthy Changes Occur in Our Cells
One solution can be as simple as drinking more water. But
what kind of water should we be drinking?
TAP WATERTap water is a healthier option than soft drinks and other bever-ages, but according to the Environmental Working Group, there
have been 315 pollutants found in America's tap water since2004, and over half of these pollutants are completely unregu-lated and can legally exist in any amount.
At the current levels of contamination, the public is starting to
question the quality of tap water and wonders if it is safe enoughto drink.
BOTTLED WATER
Bottled water is not necessarily healthier than tap water and yetit costs much more! Bottled water costs more per gallon thangasoline! Although, through marketing tactics, it is associatedwith healthy water, bottled water is not guaranteed to be anyhealthier than tap water. In fact, there are many carcinogenic
chemicals that go into the making of plastic water bottles thatcan leach into the water. Why do you think they constantly tellus not to store bottled water in our cars? Because the plasticheats up, releasing chemicals into the water. Bottled water hasalready been heated many times in the 4 to 6 months it takes
to reach market.
A four-year study by the Natural Resources Defense Councilshows that 1/3 of the bottled water tested contains levels of con-
tamination which exceed allowable limits. Bottled water can alsobe slightly acidic, which may affect your body's pH balance. Fi-nally, the environmental impact caused by the production anddisposal of plastic bottles is harmful to our ecosystem.
REVERSE OSMOSIS AND DISTILLED WATERReverse Osmosis and Distilling are filtering processes, whichmay be effective in areas that do not receive municipallytreated water and are commonly used in bottled water facili-
ties. Both reverse osmosis and distilling removes healthy, nat-urally occurring minerals in our water. These minerals not onlyprovide good taste, they also serve a vital function in thehealthy balance of our bodies. When stripped of these miner-als, this water becomes unnatural and an aggressive ab-
sorber. This can be quite unhealthy. Also, 2 - 3 gallons of water are wasted for every gallon of purified water produced; again,a very negative impact on our environment and ecosystem.
THE SOLUTIONOne of the best ways to clean and remove toxins from your body is by drinking the right water so the body can heal itself. Everything in the body happens in water. Nutrients, Miner-
als, Hormones and Insulin follow water into the cells.
Find out why tap water, bottled water, reverse osmosis anddistilled water are not the answer and could be actuallycausing more health problems.
We have researched the best water to drink for detoxifyingyour body of these harmful pollutants, as well as removepesticides (toxins) from your fruits and vegetables.
ANTI-OXIDANT, ALKALINE, RESTRUCTUREDIONIZED WATERThis technology comes from Japan and has been used inJapanese homes for decades. It is now available in the USA.
This water brilliantly addresses the Three Stresses that arecausing us to feel and look older, slowing us down, andcausing more aches and pains: Oxidative Stress, AcidicStress and Dehydration Stress.
y
Why are so many people getting acid reflux, diabetes, high blood pressure and highcholesterol? This destructive environment that we are creating in our bodies of
Oxidative Stress, Acidic Stress and Dehydration Stress leads to a downward spiral of
inflammation, aches and pains, illness and disease. We then look older and feel older.

Although Valentine’s
Day may be geared
toward adults, chil-
dren are quite drawn to the cel-
ebration as well. Perhaps it’s
the promise of candy or choco-
late that gets their attention,
but Valentine’s Day annually
appeals to the younger set.
Some couples opt to leave
children in the capable
hands of a babysitter come
Valentine’s Day and
enjoy the evening solo.
But for those who want
to include youngsters in
their fun, they canexplore the many
enjoyable and clever
crafts and other activi-
ties available.
LEARNING GAMES
Valentine’s Day can
be turned into a learn-
ing opportunity for chil-
dren. One idea is to cre-
ate an “Attracting Love” game
that illustrates the power of
magnets and the laws of attrac-
tion. Fill an empty glass jar
with various items made into
heart shapes. These can
include small pieces of pipe
cleaner, paper clips, paper, and
even aluminum foil hearts. Put
the top on the jar and shake up
the contents. Let children
guess which items will be
attracted to a magnet, then
have them test their theory
with a strong magnet rubbed
on the outside of the jar. See
which hearts are attracted tothe magnet.
Other learning games can
include matching or finding
the differences between pic-
tures, counting paper hearts or
making recipes of scented mod-
eling dough.
DESSERT FUN
Invite youngsters into the
kitchen to try their hands at
different recipes, making sure
that they have a chance to
sample their handiwork after-
ward.
Faux chocolate truffles
made with chocolate sandwich
cookies can be a tasty treat for
little hands. Start by mashing
up some Oreo® cookies, then
add them to a bowl with one
8-ounce package of cream
cheese. Mix until everything is
incorporated into a sticky bat-
ter. Truffles can be made into
balls or heart shapes. For chil-
dren celebratingValentine’sDay and winter fun, turn the truf-
fles into edible snowmen. Dip
the truffles into melted choco-
late or colored candy melts to
coat. Place on a wax paper-cov-
ered cookie sheet and refriger-
ate for an hour, or until the
truffles are firm.
CRAFTS
Children can have fun
cutting out cupids, making col-
oring pages or doing just about
any other Valentine-inspired
craft, like making their own
cards.
Another craft idea is to
write secret love notes with
invisible ink. Lemon juice can
be used as invisible ink.
Have children write a message
by dipping a cotton swab or
their finger in lemon juice and
then writing words on a white
piece of paper. Once the papers
have dried, an adult can reveal
the message by placing thepaper in front of a heat source,
such as an iron or a light bulb.
The message will magically
appear and reveal those secret
sentiments.
Children can get crafty by
making gifts for the special
people in their lives. Combine
the concept of valentines with
the ambiance of a candle. For
an even safer alternative, opt
for an LED-flame candle
instead of traditional candles.
Kids can glue foam con-
versation hearts, sold at many
craft stores, to the outside of
the candle. Wrap the middle of
the candle with ribbon, and
they’ve just created an easy,
heartfelt gift.
KIDS’ DINNER
Encourage the next gen-
eration of chefs to create culi-
nary masterpieces, which they
can then serve to family mem-
bers or friends. Children caneven prepare dinner as a token
of appreciation to their parents.
Plan recipes with kids in
advance, but look for age-
appropriate menu ideas, partic-
ularly those that will not
require much use of the stove-
top or other dangerous kitchen
appliances. Kids can always do
the prep work and then ask an
adult to put the food into the
oven for cooking.
One easy idea is to create
heart-shaped hamburger sliders
and Valentine-colored mashed
potatoes. Use red potatoes with
the skin on to create the pota-
to mash. The sliders can be
shaped by hand or using a
heart-shaped cookie cutter.

A
s a parent, you
expect to file a fed-
eral income taxreturn every year. But do you
check to see if your children
need to file a return of their
own? The filing requirements
for children vary depending
not only on the amount of
income they have, but also on
whether their income comes
from working, investing, or
both.
If your child had wage
income only during 2014, atax return is required if wages
exceeded $6,200. If the child
earned less than $6,200 but
employers withheld taxes, a
tax return must be filed if a
refund is to be claimed.
If your child had net self-
employment earnings of $400
or more in 2014, a return is
required and a self-employ-
ment tax is due. Income tax
could be due if earningsexceeded $6,200.
If a child had investment
income only during 2014
(such as dividends and inter-
est), reporting is required if
the total exceeded $1,000.
If your child has both
earned and unearned invest-
ment income, a return is
required if the total was more
than the larger of $1,000 or
earnings plus $350 (up to$6,200).
If your child’s investment
income for 2014 exceeded
$2,000 and your child is under
age 19 (age 24 if the child is
a full-time student), the
amount over $2,000 will be
taxed at your top rate. You
may elect to include your
child’s unearned income on
your tax return in certain cir-
cumstances, rather than filinga separate return for the child.
Be aware that a working
child can make contributions
to an individual retirement
account, either a regular IRA
or a Roth IRA. A contribu-
tion to a regular IRA will be
tax-deductible, reducing the
tax if your child owes any. A
contribution to a Roth IRA
won’t be deductible so it
won’t lower a child’s tax bill,but the offsetting benefit of
tax-free withdrawals later on
may still make it a wiser
choice. Contributions to 2014
IRAs may be made any time
up to April 15, 2015, the fil-
ing deadline for 2014 tax
returns.

tax filing or those of your chil-
dren, call our office.

Regions that adhere to daylight sav-
ing time, or DST, will set their clocks
forward at 2 a.m. on Sunday March
8, 2015. Many people look forward
to daylight saving time in the spring because it extends light into the evening hours,
allowing those who live in regions where DST is practiced to spend more time out-
doors in natural sunlight. The modern incarnation of DST was proposed by New
Zealand entomologist and astronomer George Vernon Hudson in 1895. Hudsonenjoyed collecting insects and knew that it would be easier to do so if there were
more hours of daylight in the evening. That prompted him to present a paper to the
Wellington Philosophical Society in which he proposed a two-hour daylight saving
shift. In April 1916, Germany and Austria-Hungary became the first countries to
implement DST, and many countries have since followed suit. Many proponents
cite the positive impact that DST has on energy consumption, but research study-
ing the impact of DST on heating and coolingusage patterns has produced mixed
results.

Valentine’s Day is syn-onymous with many
things, including
chocolate. Men and women
indulge their love of chocolate
every February 14, but those
who want to go the extra mile
for their sweethearts this
Valentine’s Day can make
their own delicacies. Home-
made confections send a spe-
cial message to loved ones on
Valentine’s Day, especiallywhen they include chocolate,
such as the following recipe
for “Crochette di Ricotta con
Salsa di Cioccolato (Ricotta
Beignets With Chocolate
Dipping Sauce)” from
Michael White and Joanna
Pruess’ “Fiamma: The Essence
of Contemporary Italian
Cooking” (Wiley).
Crochette di Ricotta con
Salsa di Cioccolato
(Ricotta Beignets With
Chocolate Dipping Sauce)
Makes 6 to 8 servings
1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
2 large eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup finely crushed amaretticookies (about 16 cookies)
1 cup chopped bittersweet
chocolate
1 cup heavy cream
Vegetable oil, for deep-fat frying
Confectioners’ sugar, for gar-
nish
In a medium-size bowl,
whisk the ricotta and eggs
together until smooth. Addthe sugar, flour, baking pow-
der, and amaretti and stir until
well blended. Cover and chill
for at least 1 hour.
While the batter is chill-
ing, put the chocolate in a
small bowl. In a small
saucepan, bring the heavy
cream to a boil over medium-
high heat, about 2 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat
and pour the hot cream over
the chopped chocolate, stir-ring until blended and
smooth. Keep warm.
Fill a medium-size pot
with at least 3 inches oil and
heat until the oil measures
about 360 F on a candy or
instant-read thermometer.
Carefully drop the crochette
batter by the heaping table-
spoon into the hot oil and
cook, turning once, until
brown on all sides, about 3minutes. Using a slotted
spoon, remove them from the
oil and drain on paper towels.
Dust with confectioners’ sugar
and serve immediately with
chocolate sauce. If desired,
serve with warm caramel and
berry sauces as well.

When homeowners
think about reno-
vating their proper-
ties, many first need to secure
some funding to finance such
projects. Some may tap into the
equity of their homes by refi-
nancing an existing mortgage,
while others may apply for
home equity loans. Taking the
latter approach may require
certain steps, including an
assessment of how much the
home and property is worth.
Home appraisals compare
your home to neighboring
properties to determine your
home’s current market value.
Homeowners can facilitate the
process by having certain infor-
mation readily available for the
appraiser. When preparing for
appraisers, homeowners should
consider and collect the follow-
ing information:
If your home was built on
the largest lot in the commu-
nity.
If you have made signifi-
cant upgrades since it was last
appraised, such as installing a
new roof or siding. Don’t over-
look smaller renovations, like
extra insulation added or seal-ing drafty windows, which can
increase a home’s value.
Proof that you have used
sustainable resources or if you
participated in any energy-sav-
ings programs.
Naturally, any expansion
projects, such as adding anoth-
er bedroom or extending the
footprint of the home, should
be mentioned.
A real estate appraiser is a
certified, licensed professional
who will do his or her best to
determine the value of your
home. The appraisal provides
banks with information that
can tell loan officers if the
house is worth the loan
amount. Expect to pay a fee for
the appraisal, which is general-
ly included in your closing
costs.The appraiser gathers
information for the appraisal
report from a number of sources, but the process often
begins with a physical inspec-
tion of the property, both inside
and out. He or she also will
compare your home against a
few others in the neighbor-
hood, which are known as com-
parables or comps. Appraisals
will be based on recent prices of
comparable properties as well as
other factors.
Apart from the improve-
ments done to the home, there
are other ways to get a higher
appraisal amount. The apprais-
er may consider the overall
maintenance of the home and
property. It is wise to consider
curb appeal and ensure the
home is clean and maintained
when the appraiser arrives.
Minor repairs or common
maintenance can impress theappraiser. Removing clutter
and cleaning up the home’s
interior can make the homeappear larger, possibly increas-
ing its value as a result.
It may be worth it to
invest some more money into
the property before having an
appraisal done. A study spon-
sored by the National
Association of Realtors says
wood floors, landscaping and
an enclosed garage can lead to a
more favorable appraisal.
An appraiser will spend
roughly 30 minutes in a home.
Try to give that person space to
do his or her job. Following the
appraiser around during an
inspection can raise a red flag
that something is wrong with
the house that you don’t want
to be seen. Turn lights on
throughout the house, make
sure the heating or cooling sys-
tem is functioning at full capac-ity and keep pets locked away.
Move items that can impede
access to basements or attics.
An accurate assessment
of the value of your home will
give banks the information
they need to determine loan
amounts for future renovation
projects. Providing back-
ground information on the
home and having a well-main-
tained property can improvethe chances of a favorable
appraisal.
