Before you toss out the crayon stubs your school-age kids have hoarded in shoeboxes and drawers around the house this past winter, make these brilliant note cards and postcards or a colorful abstract picture. Great rainy day fun! In this activity, pointillism gives way to 20th-century abstract. Ask your kids: "Wanna just slab some melted crayons all over some paper?" They're bound to say yes. After all, it sounds like it's going to be a mess. How could they possibly resist that?

Create Abstract Art With Melted Crayons
piece of heavy paper in half. While holding one half of the paper in one hand, gently lay the outside surface of the other half in several puddles of wax for a second or two. Use a Popsicle stick to press the paper into the wax if necessary. Lift the paper out of the wax. The colors should be brilliant and spread everywhere in a fascinating abstract design. If the melted crayon adheres in clumps, let it drip down the card a bit for a "lava lamp" effect. Lay aside to harden. 3. Stack several folded cards and tie them together with a ribbon and bow or bead for a lovely present to give someone special. Or, write a note or postcard to a friend and mail it.

To pay or not to pay… down the mortgage… that is the question! Jeffrey H. Massey Certified Financial Planner™ Massey and Associates
Now that you have received your third round of stimulus payments, perhaps you aren’t spending as much on going out for dinner, travel, and entertainment, and given that bank savings rates are minuscule – the question becomes what should you do with your extra money? If you’re considering paying extra on your mortgage, there are two options: making extra payments monthly or paying off the mortgage in a lump sum. Firstly, we will discuss paying extra monthly. Then we will cover the lump sum payoff option. some clients have asked “should I use the “extra” money to pay down the principal on my home mortgage?” Well, the answer is… it depends! It depends on your particular situation and the answer that you come up with when you do the math. First some basics: most mortgages today allow you to pay extra on your principal each month or as a one-time extra
principal payment, without a “prepayment” penalty. Of course, it is always best to check first to confirm that your mortgage doesn’t have a prepayment penalty. There are two main parts of a mortgage payment: principal and interest. Principal is the actual amount you borrowed, or your outstanding balance and interest is the amount you pay to the financial institution that lent you the money. at the start of the loan, the amount of interest you pay is much larger than the amount of principal that is paid down. By the time you reach your final payments, most of your payment is going toward principal and only a small portion is going toward interest. The process of balancing out the principal and interest each month to keep your monthly payments the same is called amortization. If you make extra principal payments early in your loan, this will potentially save you thousands of dollars over the life of the loan. However, if you are in the later stages of your loan, there may not be enough interest savings to make it worthwhile by paying down the principal. This may sound like a great idea, but for some people it may not be the best option. That’s because there’s an opportunity cost involved: if you pay ex-
tra toward your principal balance, then you can’t use that money for anything else nor can you invest that money elsewhere for growth. Let’s look at a few areas that may represent better uses of your money: Payoff your higher interest rate debt. It may not make sense to pay off a 3% mortgage if you have credit cards or other loans with higher interest rates. Funding your 401(k). If your employer offers a match to your 401(k) contribution, then ensuring that you’re getting the full match amount is an absolute must. If you’re not maximizing your contributions to get every possible match dollar, then you’re leaving money for your retirement on the table. You may potentially earn more from your 401(k) over the long term than you may save by paying extra on your mortgage principal. Funding your emergency account. making sure you have sufficient reserves in the bank to meet unexpected emergencies should they arise. Financial planning guidelines suggest 6-12 months of household or budgeted expenses. However, we recommend having more “pillow money” which may help you sleep better at night knowing you have more than adequate reserves in the bank. If your monthly budget is too tight, then paying down extra principal may not make the most sense. Pay your monthly bills first and make sure your budget isn’t too tight. Next, you may want to protect yourself making sure you have adequate, life, health, disability, and property insurance, especially if you have financial dependents. Under the right circumstances, making extra principal payments on your mortgage can result in significant savings and can help you to pay off your
mortgage ahead of schedule. Paying off your mortgage in a lump sum is a question that we hear often. “Let’s do the math” is our typical response. Let’s say that you have $100,000 in the bank with a $50,000 mortgage balance. How much are you earning in the bank versus how much are you paying in interest on the mortgage? If you are paying 3% on the mortgage and could invest at a modest 5% or 6% rate, the math seems to indicates that paying off the mortgage makes mathematical sense. as always, if you’d like to discuss your particular situation, call our office and one of our advisors can give you more details.

How to create a realistic budget a FamILY FEaTUrEs
budget is one of the most important financial tools in your arsenal, but budgeting isn’t one size fits all. In order to be successful, your budget should reflect your income and spending, but also your desires and need to live a balanced life. Learn to build a realistic budget with these tips from the financial experts at First Boulevard, a Black-owned digital bank with a mission to close wealth gaps and build generational wealth: Know Your Numbers
start by gathering all income you receive on a monthly basis. This should include regular income like paychecks, as well as variable income like money from babysitting or driving for a ride-share company. Next, outline your expenses, or the things you spend your money on each month. To get a more accurate idea, look at your bank or credit card statements. This includes recurring expenses like your rent or mortgage, utilities, car payments and subscriptions, as well as variable expenses that may change from month to month like entertainment and dining out.

Look for trends in your variable expenses. Be sure to include everything in your outline, including trips to the hair salon, shopping and other treats. Determine Essential vs. Non-Essential Break down your expenses by categorizing them as essential or nonessential. Here, you’re differentiating your needs from your wants. Essentials include things you need to survive, like your mortgage or rent, utilities, groceries and medical needs. Non-essentials include the things you don’t necessarily need to survive, but provide you with comforts like cable, gym memberships, dry cleaning or trips to the spa. Non-essentials also include savings and any debts you may have. Create your budget by listing your essential expenses first. Your debts, like student loans or car loan payments, may not be essential for you to survive, but they are high-priority expenses that need to be paid. Put these at the top of your non-essential expenses list. Then list other non-essential expenses based on their level of importance to you. For example, if health and wellness are important to you, your gym membership may be higher on your list of non-essential expenses than buying new clothes. Keep listing your expenses until the total equals all of your income for the month. Using all of your income is called zero-based budgeting, and helps make sure every dollar of your income is accounted for in your budget.
If you get to a point where you don’t have enough income to cover all your expenses, review your list of essential and non-essential expenses to look for ways to reduce or eliminate costs. Be Realistic
When creating a monthly budget, it may be tempting to try and restructure everything to meet your financial goals faster. While this can fast-track your way toward a goal, it can cause you to lose sight of the person who has to do the work to stick with the budget. Instead of creating a bare bones budget where you limit yourself, plan to allow yourself at least a couple of times per week to indulge in small treats. Choose a Budgeting Tool
Once you’ve gathered all of your financial information, it’s time to choose a way to manage and track your budget. If you’re old school, you may want to use the pencil and paper approach. Or you can start with pen and paper then transfer that information to a budgeting app. By writing it out first, you’re more likely to catch mistakes or omissions. If you’re a little more tech savvy, there are some convenient and affordable apps and websites available to help. The key to creating a realistic budget is balancing the needs of your finances with your personal needs. Find more practical advice and tools for managing your money at bankblvd.com.

I was checking out at the grocery store when I realized I lost my wallet. While looking, a young lady had already paid for all my groceries. I did have a chance to thank her. I went to the previous store and never thought the wallet would be found. Someone picked the wallet up and returned it to the cashier. Thank you very much again to the beautiful ladies that helped me. I was truly Blessed that day. I did pass on the Act of Kindness. ~ L.W.

• On May 22, 1455, the battle of England’s War of the Roses begins in St. Albans, 20 miles northwest of London. The forces of House of York, whose badge was a white rose, defeated the red-rose House of Lancaster. Both families claimed the throne and the war would stretch on for 30 years. • On May 23, 1934, famed fugitives Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker are killed in a police ambush near Sailes, Louisiana. They died in a two-minute fusillade of over 150 bullets. The Barrow Gang was believed responsible for the deaths of 13 people, including nine police officers. • On May 21, 1955, then-unknown singer Chuck Berry pays his first visit to a recording studio and cuts “Maybellene.” The song became a No. 1 R&B hit and a top 5 pop hit. It helped that DJ Alan Freed played the record for two hours straight during his WINS radio show in New York City. • On May 17, 1965, after a two-year investigation, the FBI declares the supposedly pornographic lyrics of “Louie Louie” to be officially unintelligible. • On May 18, 1980, Mount St. Helens, a volcanic peak in southwestern Washington, violently erupts. The massive blast killed 57 people and leveled nearly all vegetation as far as 12 miles away. • On May 19, 1997, a 3-year-old boy dies of avian influenza in Hong Kong. Before the outbreak was controlled, six people were dead and 1.6 million domestic fowl were destroyed. The virus mutated and caused 62 more human deaths in Asia by 2005. • On May 20, 2007, Fox’s long-running animated series “The Simpsons” airs its 400th episode. “The Simpsons” debuted in December 1989 with a special Christmas show, “Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire.” Its success paved the way for other adult-oriented animated series, notably “King of the Hill,” “The Family Guy” and “South Park.” © 2021 Hearst Communications, Inc.

This attractive elephant head is a mystery and a good luck totem. Its trunk turns up, not down, which is thought to be a lucky sign. And the lucky seller got over $900
It kept on ringing as long as the tusk was held down. It probably will never again be used that way, but it will make an attractive paperweight or small figurine. The elephant is a good luck charm, too, because, according the superstition, an elephant figure with the trunk up is lucky; the trunk down is bad luck. But what about the ivory tusks? Can it be sold with the current restrictions on ivory? The seller told us the tusks were made of bone, not ivory. So a lucky buyer paid $944 at a Morford auction and will probably make friends guess what it was originally used for. *** My mother had this interesting glass bowl that I always called a juicer. I recently found out that they are called reamers and seem to be collectible. Can you tell me a little about reamers and how
Q:
much the one I inherited from my mother is worth? Reamers, or juice squeezers, have been known since 1767, although most of those collected today date from the 20th century. It is often a dish with a pointed-top cone in the center that squeezes the juice from the fruit held in the dish. Figural reamers are among the most prized. Reamers were invented out of need when it was discovered that citrus provided a cure for diseases like scurvy. They were first produced in Europe by Bayreuth, Meissen, Royal Rudolstadt and Limoges. In the United States, a co-op was formed in 1907 called the “California Fruit Growers Exchange.” The co-op marketed Sunkist. Sunkist reamers were marketed to the masses during the 1916 “Drink an Orange” campaign. Sunkist reamers were mainly white, but also came in green, pink, blue, yellow, black and white. They sell online for between $12 to $85. *** CURRENT PRICES Glass, punch set, carnival glass, Acorn Burrs, green iridescent, punch bowl with pedestal base, 6 cups, Northwood, 11 x 11 1/2 inches, $425. Doll, Seminole, cloth, jacket, yarn hair, sterling pin, 1922 token, 17 inches, $526. Redware, puzzle jug, holes in neck, inscribed 1767, 4 inches, $750. Paperweight, Baccarat, canes, roses, shamrocks, 3-inch diameter, 1849, $1,800. TIP: Be careful how you handle clean silver. Fingerprints will show and eventually tarnish.

King Features Weekly Service
Although we have gone to hundreds of antiques shows, shops and auctions, we are sometimes baffled by what we see. So, this 6-inch brass elephant head was a mystery. It wasn’t an inkwell, although we have seen inkwells that size and shape. It had a tusk that could be pushed down, so it wasn’t a paperweight. The antiques dealer knew it was a hotel service bell. The well-shaped brass head had glass eyes and bone tusks. Hold the tusks down, and a bell rang for hotel help.

Camp Dates Run from June through August
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You’re the first sign in the Zodiac and like to take the lead wherever you go. But this time, you’d be wise to follow someone who has much to teach you. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your adversary hasn’t given up trying to undermine you. Continue to stay cool — someone in authority knows what’s happening. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Spring brings a positive aspect for relationships. Paired Twins grow closer, while the single set finds new romance — perhaps with a Leo or Libra. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Wavering aspects this week mean weighing your words carefully to avoid misunderstandings. LEO (July 23 to August 22) You could soon be on a new career path in pursuit of those long-standing goals, but don’t cut any current ties until you’re sure you’re ready to make the change. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A former colleague wants to re-establish an old professional connection. It would be wise to make the contact, at least until you know what he or she is planning. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A relationship that survived some
rocky moments could be facing a new challenge. Deal with the problem openly, honestly and without delay. Good luck. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A recent and much-appreciated change in the workplace inspires you to make some changes in your personal life as well. Start with a plan to travel more. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A friend needs your kind and caring advice, but you need to know what he or she is hiding from you before you agree to get involved. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your circle of friends continues to widen. Expect to hear from someone in your past who hopes to re-establish your once-close relationship. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Your aspects favor the arts. Indulge in whatever artistic expression you enjoy most. A workplace situation will, I’m pleased to say, continue to improve. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Warning! Your tendency to let things slide until the last minute could have a negative effect on a relationship that you hope can develop into something meaningful. BORN THIS WEEK: You are both emotional and sensible. You enjoy being with people. Good career choices include teaching, performing and the clergy.

Flea Baths Offer Cats Only Temporary Relief DEAR PAW’S CORNER: After my mother passed away last year, I brought her two cats to live with me. They’re sweet and have settled in nicely, but they also have fleas. These came with them from my mom’s house. Giving them a bath removes the fleas temporarily, but after a couple of weeks both cats are covered again. How can I get rid of these pests once and for all? — Jeremy in Knoxville DEAR JEREMY: My condolences on your mother’s passing, and thank you for caring for her pets. While it may be impossible to completely get rid of fleas, you can drastically reduce the level of infestation on your cats. Here’s how: — Continue regular treatment of the cats through flea baths, collars or topical treatments. — Comb through the cats’ fur daily using your fingers or a brush: Tiny dark specks indicate that fleas are still present. — Don’t let cats outdoors: Fleas and ticks will hitch a ride on their fur. — Two to four times a year, treat your entire home for fleas. These pests can lay hundreds or thousands of tiny eggs in your cats’ hair, in carpets and rugs, and in dusty corners. Close your cats in a safe room and sprinkle flea powder across the carpet and into the corners, let sit for as many hours as the instructions say, then vacuum up. Wash rugs, if possible. — Dust and vacuum your home once a week. Vacuum twice per week in peak flea season, during the warmer months. This helps remove unhatched flea eggs. Vigilance and a proactive cleaning and treatment routine will keep those fleas at bay. Send your tips, comments and questions to ask@pawscorner.com. © 2021 King Features Synd., Inc.

• We heard from J.D. in Northern Colorado about a recent tip on egg carton use. He wanted to remind me that while Styrofoam egg cartons may be easily recyclable in some places (I take them to my local grocery store), that’s not true for all states. Thanks for the reminder, J.D., and for being a reader. Maybe it’s time to lobby our grocery chains to switch to cardboard cartons. • “I put dryer sheets in any size wastebasket. One can put three or four folded out to stand up and put a bag in the basket for a fresher smell. Change dryer sheets as often as you like.” — S.H. in Minnesota • B.H. in Washington has an interesting tactic to keep ants off her hummingbird feeder, which hangs from a pole. “Cut a small hole out of the bottom of a grocery sack, thread the hole on the pole, slide down about twothirds of the way, tape the edges to the pole tightly, and let the sack hang down like a bell. You will never have another ant climbing up your feeder pole.” • Get lots of extra bathroom storage by hanging an organizer over the back of the door. Look online and you’ll find fancy versions made with drawers and hooks, or just use a good old-fashioned plastic shoe organizer that you can pick up at your local big box for less than $10. • To remove a persistent smell from a lunchbox, wash thoroughly with baking soda and dish soap, then hang to dry. Stuff the lunchbox with crumpled up newspaper and seal for a day. Remove the newspaper, and hopefully the smell with it. Send your tips to Now Here’s a Tip, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803.
