President’s Message Lois Hartzell, HBAL President It is time again to share my thoughts; each month seems to be moving along faster and faster. I have been thinking about my sales numbers and what I can do to secure more sales. I would Celebrating like to help by sharing five easy steps that you and I can both use to turn prospects into buyers. Together, we can move Lincoln’s permit numbers in a positive direction. 1951-2011 1. Show you are on their side. Open the conversation the right way by showing you are on the prospect’s side and that you actually care. Ask questions and get to know who they really are. 2. Listen After asking these questions, allow yourself to truly comprehend what they are saying and placing on the table. The more you talk, the less likely you are to turn the prospect into a buyer. People like to talk about themselves and allowing them to express themselves shows that you care. Gaining trust and building a relationship is crucial when it comes to creating a buyer. 3. Find a common interest It is extremely beneficial to you to try and relate as much as possible to your prospect. You want to show that you are not better than them in any way. Instead, find a common interest to show you are an equal and this is an opportunity for both of you to benefit. 4. Understand where the prospect is at The next part of the conversation is to understand where they are coming from and what they are looking for. Again, ask questions and listen to their response. 5. Close the sale. Ask for it. The final task in turning a prospect into a buyer is to dig deep and go for it. You have built up the relationship and gained their trust. Now it is a matter of telling them straightforward that there is no better time to get started. Sometimes it is a little pressure and a boost of motivation that will convert a prospect into a customer. Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Franco_Gonzalez This past month, HBAL has had the opportunity to learn about Safety Management, Inc. (SMI) and their commitment to the Nebraska State Home Builders Association to assist our members in becoming OSHA compliant. If you would like more information about the program, please contact the HBAL office. OSHA created a three-month phase-in period for the Fall Protection Safety Standards, but this is not a three-month extension on compliance. Do not put off bringing your company into compliance. OSHA is conducting more field inspections each week. HBAL sponsored our third 10-hour OSHA Certification Class this past month and we are continuing to apply for more grants so we can offer additional classes at minimal costs to our members. Let the HBAL office know what your needs are for training so we can assist our members by organizing these classes. Finally something more enjoyable, the Lincoln Home Builders Care Foundation held it’s annual golf tournament this past month. It was beautiful out and I am so glad to have seen so many of you out enjoying the day. I hope to also see you on August 5th at the Remodelers Council Golf Tournament, also part of the Lincoln Home Builders Care Foundation. August 16th will be our annual Night at the Saltdogs. This is another great opportunity to bring the family out for a night of fun. Thank you all for making my year fun and memorable.

Five Questions about Long-Term Care Provided by John Oestreich, Waddell & Reed 1. What is long-term care?
Long-term care refers to the ongoing services and support needed by people who have chronic health conditions or disabilities. There are three levels of long-term care: • Skilled care: Generally round-the-clock care that’s given by professional health care providers such as nurses, therapists, or aides under a doctor’s supervision. • Intermediate care: Also provided by professional health care providers but on a less frequent basis than skilled care. • Custodial care: Personal care that’s often given by family caregivers, nurses’ aides, or home health workers who provide assistance with what are called “activities of daily living” such as bathing, eating, and dressing. Long-term care is not just provided in nursing homes--in fact, the most common type of long-term care is home-based care. Long-term care services may also be provided in a variety of other settings, such as assisted living facilities and adult day care centers. 2. Why is it important to plan for long-term care?
No one expects to need long-term care, but it’s important to plan for it nonetheless. Here are two important reasons why: The odds of needing long-term care are high: • Approximately 40% of people will need long-term care at some point during their lifetimes after reaching age 65* • Approximately 14% of people age 71 and older have Alzheimer’s disease, a disorder that often leads to the need for nursing home care** • Younger people may need long-term care too, as a result of a disabling accident or illness The cost of long-term care is rising: Currently, the average annual cost of a 1-year nursing home stay is $72,270* and in many states the cost is much higher. In the future, long-term care is likely to be even more expensive. If costs rise at just 3% a year (a conservative estimate), in 20 years, a 1-year nursing home stay will cost approximately $130,528. *National Clearinghouse for Long-Term Care Information, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2009 **Alzheimer’s Association, 2010
long-term care costs. Long-term care insurance can help you preserve your assets and guarantee that you’ll have access to a range of care options. However, it can be expensive, so before you purchase a policy, make sure you can afford the premiums both now and in the future. The cost of a long-term care policy depends primarily on your age (in general, the younger you are when you purchase a policy, the lower your premium will be), but it also depends on the benefits you choose. If you decide to purchase long-term care insurance, here are some of the key features to consider: • Benefit amount: The daily benefit amount is the maximum your policy will pay for your care each day, and generally ranges from $50 to $350. • Benefit period: The length of time your policy will pay benefits (e.g., 2 years, 4 years, lifetime). • Elimination period: The number of days you must pay for your own care before the policy begins paying benefits (e.g., 20 days, 90 days). • Types of facilities included: Many policies cover care in a variety of settings including your own home, assisted living facilities, adult day care centers, and nursing homes. • Inflation protection: With inflation protection, your benefit will increase by a certain percentage each year. It’s an optional feature available at additional cost, but having it will enable your coverage to keep pace with rising prices. Your insurance agent or a financial professional can help you compare long-term care insurance policies and answer any questions you may have.

3. Doesn’t Medicare pay for long-term care?
Many people mistakenly believe that Medicare, the federal health insurance program for older Americans, will pay for long-term care. But Medicare provides only limited coverage for long-term care services such as skilled nursing care or physical therapy. And although Medicare provides some home health care benefits, it doesn’t cover custodial care, the type of care older individuals most often need. Medicaid, which is often confused with Medicare, is the joint federalstate program that two-thirds of nursing home residents currently rely on to pay some of their long-term care expenses. But to qualify for Medicaid, you must have limited income and assets, and although Medicaid generally covers nursing home care, it provides only limited coverage for home health care in certain states. 4. Can’t I pay for care out of pocket?
The major advantage to using income, savings, investments, and assets (such as your home) to pay for long-term care is that you have the most control over where and how you receive care. But because the cost of long-term care is high, you may have trouble affording extended care if you need it. 5. Should I buy long-term care insurance?
Like other types of insurance, long-term care insurance protects you against a specific financial risk--in this case, the chance that long-term care will cost more than you can afford. In exchange for your premium payments, the insurance company promises to cover part of your future 9 Lincoln Business Builder

Chairperson’s Message by Jenny Samek
I hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far. Going to ball games, and more ball games is how we’ve spent the beginning of our summer. I think we should all take a minute and be thankful we are able to attend ball games in our city. There are so many people who have lost their homes and towns from river flooding and tornados. If you are able, consider a donation to the Red Cross or any relief effort. Please keep those people in your thoughts as we head further into summer, the towns continue to rebuild and the flood waters remain high. Now, some fun advice taken from the July 2011 issue of This Old House Magazine, page 16. 10 uses for Chopsticks, more ways to live Green by recycling:
1- Skewer foods for Kabobs 2- Prop up plants by placing by the root/stem of plant 3- Fill a stripped screw hole. Dip the chopstick into a little glue, insert into hole, let the glue dry, then break off the rest of the stick to create a new hole 4- Stir paint by holding them the same way you would when you eat, and whisk the paint before applying 5- Toasting marshmallows 6- Eliminating dirt in hard to reach spots. Use the chopstick with a cleaning cloth to clean out the grooves of paint cans, between air conditioner vents, behind sink faucets, and other narrow areas 7- Unclog bottles. Free up tubes of caulk or bottles of glue by poking the end into the gunked up tip 8- Clean muddy shoes. Keep them by your door to quickly loosen dried dirt or mud from your shoes 9- Prevent oozing mastic. When tiling, use the tip of a chopstick to help clean up excess mastic that escapes into grout voids 10- Label your plants. Create plant signs by stapling cardstock to the chopstick and putting with the plant The Remodelers Council TP Run will benefit the Community Mental Health Center (CMHC). I have helped deliver supplies the last several years and they are always so grateful for anything we can give them. If you have some extra TP or personal hygiene items bring them in to the HBAL office by July 8! Don’t forget if you haven’t already signed up, the Remodelers Golf Outing will be held August 5 at Hidden Valley Golf Course. As always, the event will be a fun-filled day!

TP Run!
Bring Toilet Paper, Toothbrushes, Soap, Other Necessities to HBAL through July 8 The Remodelers Council is having its fourth TP Run (Toilet Paper Run) to help the clients of the Community Mental Health Center (CMHC). These clients are on fixed incomes, and after rent and medical expenses, often are left with very little money for the basic necessities. And, with a decline in the amount of items given from the Center for People in Need, donations from the Remodelers Council of Lincoln are even more helpful than ever before. Items that would be greatly appreciated by CMHC & its clients: • Toilet paper • Bar soap for men • Laundry soap • Bath gel soap for women • Shampoo • Cleaning supplies • Toothpaste • Poly-grip • Sanitary products for women Please pick up an extra roll of toilet paper or bar of soap on your next shopping trip, and drop it by the HBAL office before July 8. Thanks for helping to take care of our community!

Would you prefer homebuyers put more money into their homes, or their utilities? While ENERGY STAR® qualified homes cost a little more, they’re at least 15 percent more efficient than the 2004 International Residential Code. Their energy savings more than offsets any additional cost. Which makes them more affordable to own. And more profitable to build.
