    Isn’t it funny how so many

    times we can become so fix-

    ated with our own misfor-

    tunes that we neglect to

    remember it could be worse?

    While I’m sitting at my desk

    worrying about business or fam-

    ily issues, I am failing to recog-

    nize everything I am blessed

    with in that moment…i.e. I’m

    breathing. We like to focus on

    the things that get us down and

    in many ways we allow those

    things to ruin our days, our

    relationships, even our lives.

    Meanwhile we forget that

    things can always be worse and

    that we need to be counting

    the blessings that we do have,

    no matter how barebones.

    I had an aunt who would

    seem to be the very imperson-

    ation of “the worst.” Aunt

    Teddy was diagnosed with

    rheumatoid arthritis more than

    two decades ago. The arthritis

    destroyed her body in such a

    way that she was literally twist-

    ed. She was permanently bed-

    ridden and in constant pain.

    For the better part of 15 years,

    the only pure daylight she was

    able to see was on her rare visit

    to the doctors. Before her body

    had begun failing, she truly was

    a ray of sunshine herself to all

    those around her. Aunt Teddy

    shared everything, from her

    shore house to anything else

    she had.

    Every holiday my kids and

    I traveled to see Aunt Teddy.

    After climbing the steps of her

    two-family house, we entered

    to find this poor incapacitated

    woman curled up on a recliner.

    Though she knew exactly who

    The question is: What

    should I do with my

    portfolio now? Should

    the headline of this column

    answer that question effec-

    tively and definitively? After

    all, the stock market has risen

    constantly since the demise of 

    2008 with no major correc-

    tions as of late. Does this

    mean that a correction, pull-

    back or crash is imminent?

    The US stock market’s most

    recent down years in reverse

    order were: 2008, 2002, 2001,

    2000, 1994, 1990 and 1987.

    Might 2015 be next? Is there a

    pattern to be derived from

    these dates and if so, should

    you take any action as not to

    have your portfolio scarred byanother negative year? In

    other words my question real-

    ly is, can anyone actually and

    successfully time the stock

    market to know exactly when

    to get out or into the market

    in order to buy at the low and

    sell at the high?

    Market-timing has been

    tried many times before with

    many pundits claiming suc-

    cess, were these people skilled,

    have the “crystal ball”, just

    lucky, or did they understand

    and follow a pattern? Well,

    sorry to disappoint, there real-

    ly is no exact pattern or way

    to actually determine when

    the next “Big Crash” or “Huge

    Run-up” will occur. Educated

    guesses? Plenty, for sure, but

    there must be a better way to

    win in the wealth accumula-tion game and in my opinion

    there is! It’s not sexy, flashy or

    headline grabbing, but, it

    works when applied and prac-

    ticed. Best part is, everyone

    can participate in the strategy

    regardless of your net-worth,

    current age or level of invest-

    ment. Though not a guaran-

    tee, the facts speak for them-

    selves derived from thousands

    of investors, if not millions of 

    them, throughout the country.

    The greatest asset in the

    accumulation of wealth is not

    how much money you start

    with, but rather how much

    time you have to invest and

    the frequency you add to it.

    Generally speaking, little

    sums of money invested prop-

    erly and consistently over a

    large span of time will turn

    into a very large sum of 

    money. So what is this properinvestment to accomplish

    this? I’ll tell you! The answer

    is not to search for the next

    Apple computer, Google or

    IBM before that. No, that

    would be as difficult as choos-

    ing the best time to buy or

    sell. We’ve determined so far

    that most of us don’t know

    when the best time to buy

    shares would be nor the right

    company shares to purchase

    either. Equally the over-

    whelming majority of stock

    brokers don’t know the

    answer to these two questions

    either, therefore who does?

    I’m afraid the answer is no one

    knows, though there are lots

    of opinions and financial

    newsletters and magazines to

    persuade you to purchase their

    picks for sure. The question

    remains, how can one build a

    successful retirement portfoliowith little knowledge and

    money?

    The answer is to hire the

    finest money management

    talent in the industry to be

    your investment team, give

    them your money and let

    them make the daily decisions

    of what and when to buy and

    sell with a mutual goal of 

    growing the portfolio. Your

    obligation, is simply to invest

    with them every week to ten

    days giving them the capital

    they need to structure, build

    and grow your portfolio.

    However, there is a problem:

    as a single investor with very

    little to invest, you probably

    couldn’t attract the most tal-

    ented portfolio management

    staff. Solution: if you pooled

    your dollars with thousands of 

    other people with the identi-

    cal financial goals, surely youcould do it. The management

    would be directed not to put

    more than 5% of the assets

    into any one security and not

    to deviate from the stated

    objective of growth of capital

    for example. The manager(s)

    would be obligated to choose

    from a varying array of indus-

    tries, companies, countries

    and currencies to avoid over

    exposure in one area or region

    and the associated risk of loss.

    Further, management must

    maintain the ability to liqui-

    date any portion of the portfo-

    lio on demand in case of 

    shareholder liquidity needs.

    (Shares to be sold at market

    value of course.)

    By consistently investing

    as little as $100 a month or

    $50 a week from thousands of investors over the many

    months, quarters and years

    ahead, through the good and

    bad times that will present

    themselves on the road to

    prosperity, financial success

    should be achieved! There is a

    two word description of this

    type of investment vehicle

    with a myriad of variations

    that some call the “perfect

    investment opportunity”.

    That name is a “Mutual

    Fund!” I believe that every-

    one needs to understand how

    these fine financial vehicles

    operate, but, more important-

    ly, how to wisely choose and

    use just a few of the thousands

    of mutual funds available for

    long-term wealth accumula-

    tion. Perhaps the headline of 

    this week’s column shouldread: Buy! Buy! Buy! And

    never stop buying!

    we were, we each found our-

    selves having to verbally con-

    firm our presence. “Hey Aunt

    Teddy. It’s Joey.” Even as diffi-

    cult as it was to see throughher sickly disposition, there

    was always joy in her eyes

    when we came to visit her. But

    the one thing that always

    stuck out to me during our vis-

    its was her answer to the age-

    old question: “How are you

    doing?” She would always

    smile and reply, “It could be

    worse!”

    Imagine that! Com-

    pletely incapacitated, com-

    pletely de-pendent and filled

    with pain, and still it could be

    worse! What an attitude to

    have. Aunt Teddy was one of 

    the few people for whom I’d

    say it couldn’t get much

    worse. Yet still, there she was

    visit after visit declaring her

    blessings and claiming that

    things could be worse.

    Think about it…

    Today, right now I ask

    you to think about all the

    things that are good in yourlife. Reflect on them and give

    thanks. You may say, “Joe,

    believe me there is nothing to

    smile about.” The fact that

    you still have breath in your

    lungs means that today is the

    day everything can change.

    Hey, it’s a choice. Make the

    right one! Still need convinc-

    ing? Google a gentlemen

    named Nick Vujicic. If you do,

    I think you might feel differ-

    ently.

    Developing strong and

    healthy relationships

    with pets requires

    that pet owners provide for

    their pets in a variety of ways.

    Although affection and exer-

    cise are essential elements to

    raising a well-rounded pet,

    owners should not overlook

    one of the most important

    parts of pet care: discipline.

    Well-trained pets can be

    a joy to be around. The

    American Society for the

    Prevention of Cruelty to

    Animals says learning how to

    train a dog can improve the

    life of the pet and the life of 

    the owner, enhancing the

    bond between the owner and

    the dog while ensuring the

    pet’s safety. Many dogs are

    eager to learn and will

    embrace their training.

    Dogs have special needs

    and instincts, communicating

    in ways separate from humans.

    When a puppy is brought into

    a home, both puppy and

    owner must adapt to each

    other. Humans must learn to

    communicate effectively in a

    language that a dog will com-prehend, while dogs must

    learn to fit into the human

    world and refocus some

    behaviors that may not be

    appropriate in a home setting.

    Pet owners have various

    training methods at their dis-

    posal. Pet owners can find

    many resources in the library,

    at pet care centers, or online.

     No matter which training

    method pet owners choose,

    the most effective are those

    that reward good behavior so

    that dogs will be more

    inclined to repeat that behav-

    ior over and over. Bad behav-

    ior should not be punished,

    but there should be conse-

    quences. The ASPCA says

    dogs live in the moment andcannot make connections

    between events and past expe-

    riences. Therefore, praise or

    consequence has to happen

    immediately for the notion to

    be reinforced. If the dog sits

    on command, she should be

    given a treat or a good amount

    of praise. If she is nipping

    while playing, the owner

    should stop the play so that

    the fun ends immediately.

    Training also requires

    consistency. Anyone involved

    in the training and interac-

    tion with the pet should be

    following the same set of 

    guidelines. If a behavior isworthy of praise, it should be

    offered each and every time. If 

    the dog jumps up on a greet-

    ing and that is discouraged,

    every person she jumps up on

    should correct the behavior.

    All it takes is one person to

    pet the dog when she is doing

    something wrong to confuse

    the animal.

    It’s also important to

    consider the dog’s tempera-

    ment during training. Certainbreeds tend to be more docile

    or dominant than others.

    Training methods may need

    to be adapted based on the

    demeanor of the dog. Owners

    who have a stubborn, willful

    dog on their hands may need

    firmer, more consistent meas-

    ures. A dog who is more

    amenable may be trained easi-

    ly with food-based rewards.

    Finding the training balancecan take time and patience.

    Dogs who are trained as

    puppies will learn good

    behavior right away and be

    less likely to adopt bad habits.

    But dogs can be trained at any

    age. Older dogs may just

    require a little more effort.

    Training tends to be most

    effective when it is short and

    fun for pets and their owners.

    Dogs do not have long atten-

    tion spans, so many trainers

    recommend that training ses-

    sions last no longer than 15minutes. Commands should

    be to the point and not cloud-

    ed with a lot of language. For

    example, “sit,” “stay,” “down”

    and “off” will get the point

    across.

    Try practicing the train-

    ing in different environments

    and scenarios. This way the

    dog will behave whether at

    home or in a friend’s back-

    yard. Use rewards that are tiedto the event and what the dog

    may find most attractive at

    that point. A hungry dog may

    respond to food treats. A dog

    looking to play may appreci-

    ate a game of catch as a

    reward.

    If training doesn’t seem

    to be working, try a few differ-

    ent options. Some pet owners

    find they need help training

    their dogs. In addition to

    informative literature and

    training videos, dog trainers

    are readily available. Classescan be scheduled privately,

    and many pet centers offer

    group classes to interested pet

    owners. The success rate of 

    training classes and the social-

    ization that these training

    opportunities offer often justi-

    fies the financial and time

    investments required to

    attend classes.

    The American Veter-

    inary Society of AnimalBehavior emphasizes the

    importance of starting a puppy

    in training, including training

    classes before all vaccinations

    have been completed. Data

    supports a lower risk of trans-

    mission of disease in puppy

    socialization classes over the

    last 10 years. Lack of full

    immunizations should not be

    reason alone to keep pups out

    of important training classes.

    Pet owners should know

    that not all behaviors can be

    stopped. Rather than punishthe dog for every natural

    behavior, try to find accept-

    able ways to channel those

    instincts into something safe.

    A dog who likes to chew

    should be given plenty of toys.

    Dogs who are naturally active

    should be given adequate

    amounts of time to run out-

    side. Highly intelligent breeds

    may benefit from agility train-

    ing or even learning assistancetechniques.

    A veterinarian can usu-

    ally provide resources on ani-

    mal trainers in the area. Look

    to work with Certified

    Professional Dog Trainers

    (CPDTs) and Certified

    According to the

    United States Depart-

    ment of Health and

    Human Services, children and

    adolescents should engage in

    physical activity for 60 minutes

    or more each day. While fulfill-

    ing those requirements might

    not have been a problem for

    kids who grew up before the

    dawn of the Internet, nowa-

    days kids are spending less

    time playing outside and more

    time on their computers or

    other devices.

    That reality is problemat-

    ic for parents who want their

    kids to embrace physical activ-

    ity thanks to the positive

    impact that exercise can have

    on kids’ physical and mental

    well-being. Parents hoping to

    instill a love of physical activi-

    ty in their youngsters may find

    that taking a more active role

    by exercising with their kids isan effective way to get them off 

    the couch and away from their

    computer screens.

    Turn errands into exercise

    opportunities. Many parents

    take their children along with

    them when running errands.

    When such errands don’t nec-

    essarily require the use of a

    car, consider riding bicycles

    instead. Kids who otherwisedon’t enjoy errands may now

    find them more fun, all the

    while fulfilling their daily rec-

    ommended quotas for exercise

    and spending quality time with

    their parents.

    Include kids in your own

    athletic pursuits. Parents might

    not be able to take younger

    kids along with them to the

    gym, but that does not mean

    your youngsters must beexcluded from all of your ath-

    letic pursuits. If you have any

    upcoming athletic activities or

    challenges on your schedule,

    such as a new recreational

    sports season or community funrun or 5K, let kids tag along as

    you train or practice. Parents of 

    adolescents can inquire at their

    local gyms if they offer dis-

    counted memberships to teens.

    If so, take kids along with you

    on trips to the gym so they

    learn the value and benefits of 

    daily strength and conditioning

    exercises.

    Make more time to play.

    Parents may already have busy

    schedules, but finding time to

    play with their kids is a great

    way to get youngsters to

    embrace physical activity. Kids

    might be reluctant to shoothoops in the driveway if no one

    is willing to join them, but they

    will likely be far more willing to

    do so if mom and dad are will-

    ing to play with them. This is

    not only a good way for parents

    to ensure their kids get enough

    exercise, but also a great and

    fun way for moms and dads to

    make time for physical activity.

    Recognize that physical

    activity does not have to mean

    organized sports. Some kids

    have no interest in team sports

    while others do not have the

    athletic ability to compete after

    a certain age. Parents who

    want their kids to exercise

    more should recognize that

    there are plenty of ways to be

    physically active that do not

    involve organized team sports.

    ming at a nearby pool, lake or

    ocean; and even going for

    nightly walks are all physical

    activities that people of all ages

    and athletic abilities can enjoy.

    Physical activity is an

    important component of a

    healthy lifestyle. While getting

    kids to put down their tablets

    and gaming system remote

    controls may not be easy, par-

    ents who resolve to exercise

    with their children might find

    their youngsters more receptive

    to regular physical activity.

    space effectively can free upareas on the floor for larger

    equipment.

    Shelving, racks, peg-

    boards and any other materials

    that enable you to hang or

    store items off the floor are

    good investments. Visit your

    nearby home improvementretailer to find items that can

    simplify your storage. You also

    may be able to put scrap wood

    to use to make your own stor-

    age shelves or a work bench.

    Extra kitchen cabinets can be

    installed in the shed to organ-

    ize additional items.In order to remember

    where items go, label or sort

    them accordingly. Some people

    like to take organization a step

    further by tracing the outline of 

    tools hung on the wall so they

    can be placed back in the same

    spot after use. This also servesas a visual reminder of which

    tools are missing and which

    ones need to be purchased.

    Don’t forget to utilize

    shed doors as additional storage

    space. Hang frequently used

    tools, such as rakes and shovels,

    on the inside of the doors sothey will always be easily acces-

    sible.

    You also can repurpose

    storage solutions designed for

    other areas of the home. For

    example, magnetic knife hold-

    ers can be mounted to a shed

    wall to keep paintbrushesorganized. These holders also

    can be used to keep many small

    metal tools tidy. Metal funnels

    can hold twine and string.

    28/32

    Mother Nature pro-

    vides plenty to grow

    healthy lawns, gar-

    dens and landscapes. But as

    many homeowners know,

    some lawns sometimes need a

    little extra boost to comple-ment nature. Soil sometimes

    must be amended so plants

    can thrive. Only after the

    right composition is created

    can plants take root and

    perform to the best of their

    abilities.

    The Colorado State

    University Extension defines a

    soil amendment as any materi-

    al added to soil to improve itsphysical properties. The goal is

    to provide a better environ-

    ment for roots. Depending on

    what you are starting with, any

    number of ingredients must be

    added to the soil recipe. Water

    retention, permeability, drain-

    age, aeration, nutrients, andwater infiltration are some of 

    the things amendments can

    improve when added to soil.

    Before homeowners add

    anything to the soil in their

    yards, it is first important to

    determine what that soil

    needs. Homeowners may

    notice if soil is overly sandy or

    full of clay, but further testing

    can confirm what the soil islacking. Soil tests are often

    available through local coop-

    erative extension offices or

    private laboratories. Speak

    with a nursery or gardencenter

    about where you can get your

    soil tested. A comprehensive

    test may cost between $5 and$10 and can provide invalu-

    able information that saves

    you hundreds of dollars in

    wasted plants and materials,

    not to mention effort. Some

    labs also can tailor their rec-

    ommendations based on the

    type of planting you will be

    doing. For example, a veg-

    etable garden may need differ-

    ent amendments than a row of azalea bushes.

    Organic matter is a pre-

    ferred soil amendment used by

    professional and novice gar-

    deners alike. The decaying

    remains of plants release

    nutrients that are absorbed

    into the soil and used bymicroorganisms and bacteria,

    creating a healthy environ-

    ment for plants. Organic

    material may break up com-

    pacted soil to increase

    drainage. In sandy soil, organ-

    ic material serves as a sponge

    to keep water from washing

    away. Compost and manure

    are two examples of frequent-

    ly used organic materials.Both of these materials are

    readily available at little cost.

    Compost can be pro-

    duced at home from food and

    plant scraps. Raked leaves and

    small amounts of grass clip-

    pings can be added to compost.

    Over time, the decompositionprocess will turn scraps into a

    nutrient-rich, dark brown sub-

    stance that provides many

    plants with all they need to

    thrive. Compost is particularly

    useful in vegetable gardens.

    Manure should come

    from herbivores, or those ani-

    mals that sustain themselves

    on grass and other plants.

    Carnivores can produce harm-ful bacteria in their waste,

    which is not safe to use in gar-

    dens, particularly food-bear-

    ing gardens. Manure can be

    commercially purchased, or

    avid gardeners can work out

    arrangements with nearby

    livestock owners and farms.These people may be more

    than willing to give you

    manure for little to no cost if 

    you cart it away. Dried manure

    is preferred because it will

    have minimal odor.

    Additional forms of 

    organic amendments include

    wood ash, sphagnum peat,

    wood chips, sawdust, and

    worm droppings.
