Buckets Overflow With Kindness At Local Elementary School ucation and anti-bullying programs.

Based on the book, “Have You Filled a Bucket Today,” by Carol McCloud, the program began at the school in the fall of 2011 and is ongoing.

“The idea was suggested for a number of reasons,” explains Karleen Faliveno, social worker and anti-bullying specialist in Martha B. Day School since 2010.

“I am always looking for ways to encourage students’ pro-social behavior.

It dovetailed beautifully with

S

By Cheryl Conway tudents at the Martha B. School in Bloomingdale are being recognized daily for good behavior such as be-

ing kind to others, following rules, being helpful and respectful.

Called the Bucketfilling program, 150 students in grades pre-kindergarten

through first participated daily simply by treating others how they would expect to be treated. The initiative is part of the school-wide character ed-

the anti-bullying initiative, and is simple in concept and extremely appealing to the young student.”

Faliveno presents to the program to parents at Back-To-School Night and then trains the teachers throughout the year how to be active participants. It is also coordinated with other character building programs throughout the year, she says.

“Initially teachers were exposed to and trained in the bucketfilling progam by me,” says Faliveno.

“In the beginning of each school year, I go into each classroom reading the book and explain the simple concepts. I give the students examples of bucket filling and bucket dipping behaviors.”

Faliveno explains, “Everyone has an invisible bucket that keeps all your happy thoughts and feelings. You fill someone’s bucket by being kind, using your manners. Bucket filling is very simple... being kind, following the continued on page 3

classroom rules, using your manners, being a good friend, being helpful and being respectful. A bucket dipper is someone who is being mean.

Acts of kindness, as well as those who are unkind, are recognized throughout the day and then the most noted ones are announced at the end of each.

“Throughout the school year, students are randomly caught being a bucketfiller and are given a stamp with the bucket filling logo on their hand,” explains Faliveno.

“I go around with the stamp as the “Mystery Bucket Filler” at random times,” she says. “These are surprise visits into the classroom and teachers will tell me which students were

Anthony Francos HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!

“Bucket Fillers” that day and deserve a stamp. I try to “catch them being good” and reinforce bucket filling behavior. It is part of the culture and language of our school. Even our janitor is a bucketfiller!”

Monthly recognition is given as well.

“Each month, teachers and staff nominate students or other staff for the bucket filling certificate,” she says.

“These are announced and distributed at the end of each month. Throughout the year other special activities are planned.”

Those who are nominated have been chosen as an “exceptional bucket filler.” On the last Friday of the month, those names are announced on the loud speaker and they are given a Bucket Filling Certificate.

For those who are not filling a bucket, “students will report when someone has “dipped their bucket” to a staff member or just use the vocabulary to resolve conflict on their own,” she says. “This is often handled by talking to the bucket dipper and having them apologize and then fill that friend’s bucket.”

Faliveno recommends this program to others.

“Bucket filling is a concrete way of teaching young students the golden rule in life...”treat others as you want to be treated.”

We are a “bucket filling” school; this can be seen by posters, bulletin board and buckets throughout our building. We all take the Bucket Fillers Pledge at the beginning of each year!

Summer Camp Options Abound

ummer camp is a beloved tradition in many families. Many parents of young children fondly recall spending their summers at summer camp, where they made lifelong friends and learned the finer points of roasting marshmallows and competing in three-legged sack races.

Parents looking for the right summer camp for their kids will soon discover there are various types of summer camps, each offering youngsters something different. The following are some of the summer camp options parents can expect to encounter as they search for the right camper for their kids.

Day camp Day camps are not overnight camps, which means kids will return home each night rather than sleep over at camp. Day camps typically offer many of the activities people have come to associate with camps, including crafts, sports and even day-trips to experience local culture or attractions.

Many day camps are coed, and counselors typically live within the community.

Faith-based camp Faith-based camps offer many of the same activities as more traditional summer camps, but do so while simultaneously offering campers the opportunity to celebrate and further ex-

plore their religious beliefs.

Some faith-based camps may focus heavily on religion, incorporating faith into daily camp activities, while others may be more subtle with regard to integrating religious beliefs and lessons into camp activities.

Sports camps Some summer camps focus on a particular sport, catering to young athletes who want to further develop their athletic talents. Sports camps may feature guest lectures and lessons from notable local athletes and coaches, while some camps may provide instruction from current and/or former professional athletes. Some sports camps are overnight,

SUMMER KIDS CAMP

while others are day camps.

Parents of children with special needs can still send their kids to summer camp, as there are many camps that cater to such youngsters. Special needs camps

may cater to campers who are blind, deaf, learning disabled, or mentally or physically disabled. Staff at special needs camps typically undergoes extensive training, which helps to

calm some of the fears parents may have about leaving their special needs children at camp. Facilities at special needs camps are often built to accommodate the specific needs of campers.

In Loving Memory Of Charlotte

n April 22, 2017, we lost a beautiful wife, mother, friend and nurse to a sudden illness. Charlotte Garcia Mazzo, 55, of Montville, passed away suddenly at Morristown Memorial Hospital in Morristown, surrounded by family and friends.

I never believed in love at first sight until I saw my wife 25 years ago at a Christening. I bugged my friends for six months until they agreed to set up me up on a date with her. We fell in love and dated for several years before we got married.

We were fortunate enough to have 25 great years together and have two wonderful children, Princess and Chancellor.

Charlotte worked tirelessly and selflessly as a caring and nurturing nurse.

Despite suffering through painful rheumatoid arthritis every day, she showed up to work no matter what.

She took care of countless patients during the last days of their lives with the same care she would show towards her own children and family. She touched the lives of so many and left an extraordinary legacy.

My wife was always happy and laughing. She would light up any room she walked into whether it was her patient’s room or a friend’s home. If you were talking to Charlotte, she always made you feel like you were the most important person in the world to her.

eGray Mosser, Sr., 98, formerly of Wayne and Pequannock, a World War II Navy veteran and former service station owner who once worked as a motorcycle stunt rider, died April 10 in his Cumming, Ga., home.

Mr. Mosser, who was also known as “Lucky Kelly,” “Butch,” “Bomber,” and “Monk,” was born to Charles Laurence Mosser and Iva May Myers Mosser in Newark with the assistance of a German midwife. Later, his family lived in the Preakness section of Wayne, before moving when he was four years old to Pequannock Township, where he completed grade

DeGray Mosser, Former Business Owner And World War II Veteran, Dies At 98

school through eighth grade. The Mosser brothers called themselves the “river rats” when they used to play and camp along the Pequannock River.

Mr. Mosser showed a fondness for daredevil pursuits during his earlier years. He once worked as an Indian motorcycle stunt rider – stage name “Lucky Kelly from Hollywood, Calif.,” – in Kotchman’s Cavalcade of Thrills in the late 1930s and early 1940s. He was also injured in an explosion while working at a munitions factory in northern New Jersey during the late 1930s or early 1940s.

Mr. Mosser was drafted into the military during World War II and served

in the U.S. Navy as a machinist’s mate-third class, from 1944 to 1946. Shortly before the start of his active duty, he married his sweetheart, Sylvia Bunton. Mr. Mosser served on the following U.S. Navy vessels and stations: NRS, Newark, NTS, Bainbridge, Md.; USS Merrimack, RS, South Annex, NOB, Northern Va.; and PSC, Lido Beach, Long Island, N.Y. He participated in the European, African, Middle Eastern Area, American Theater, and Philippine liberation and was awarded the Victory Ribbon, Commendation Ribbon and the Asiatic Pacific Ribbon with five stars.

Mr. Mosser lived in

Norfolk, Va., for a short time while he was in the Navy. He and his wife later lived in Wayne, Haskell, and Midvale (Wanaque), where they raised four children. They escaped the cold and snow of New Jersey for Winter Garden, Fla., during the winter of 1948. Syliva died in 1977.

He operated several service stations during the 1960s, including an Esso station in Midvale, two Dean service stations in Haskell, and one on Hamburg Turnpike in Bloomingdale. Mr. Mosser later worked as an operating engineer, retiring from the International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 825.

Mr. Mosser married Frances Bialy in 1982.

They lived in Wanaque and had three daughters. They lived in New Port Richey, Fla., during the late 1980s and early 1990s, and later lived in Spring Hill, Fla. Frances died in 2002.

He lived with his daughters in Ouray, Colo. Naples, Fla.; and Pompton Lakes, from 2008 through 2012.

He moved to Tuscany Villa of Naples, Fla., in 2012, and later to Gracemont Senior Living in Cumming, Ga. in 2014.

Mr. Mosser is survived by his daughters, Melinda Fink, Aleta Zanes, Mona Lee Mosser, Mary Elizabeth Dowell, Katherine Geraldine Mosser and Me-

Eighth Graders Plan Car Wash/Clothing Drive To Fund Panama Expedition To Help Wildlife

A

By Stefanie Sears group of Pearl R. Miller Middle School eighth grade volunteers, known as the Global Citizens, plan to hold a car wash and a clothing drive later this month at Kinnelon High School’s front parking lot.

Set for May 20, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the clothing will be donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters and all funds raised will go to the Global Citizenship Volunteer Program. Money raised from the upcoming event will be dedicated to the 2017 Global Citizens Panama Primate Conservation Expedition in which several members of the group plan to travel this summer to Panama to help wildlife

there.

The school’s Library Media Specialist and Global Citizens Director Shelley Battaglia leads the group and finds such expeditions through Walking Tree, a directory of conservation and volunteer opportunities.

From July 11-20, the Global Citizens will be joining Battaglia and her family on the 2017 Global Citizens Panama Primate Conservation Expedition.

There they will work with scientists, such as researchers and biodiversity conservationists, to rescue, rehabilitate, and learn about the local wildlife - from land, sea, and air creatures to plants to coral reefs throughout the area.

“A selected group of

those students will be joining my family [husband and two children] and me to travel to Panama to work with Smithsonian scientists and Walking Tree organization leaders to learn about and volunteer in their efforts to rescue, rehabilitate [and hopefully while we’re there] re-release wildlife,” says Battaglia. “Various wildlife in Panama are knapped from their wild habitats to become domestic animals, which is never successful.

Smithsonian scientists rescue those animals, and others orphaned by poachers or natural causes/accidents in the wild, and rehabilitate them in order to be re-released into their natural habitat.”

Planned destinations

Global Citizens Director Shelley Battaglia and her family visit and learn about the indigenous community in the jungle of Costa Rica.

include the Smithsonian Institution’s Punta Culebra Marine Exhibit Center, Casco Viejo district and Cinta Costera seaside, Panama Canal Museum, and

Miraflores Locks of the Panama Canal in Panama City, the Soberanía National Park, Wildlife Rescue Center and Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute

in Gamboa. They also plan to visit the Emberá people living in the Chagres National Park of the Panama Canal Watershed, the Altos continued on page 16

How To Find A Comfortable Crate For Your Dog

any trainers and veterinarians recommend that dog owners buy dog crates as soon as possible after buying or adopting a dog. A pet owner’s choice of crate can go a long way toward ensuring the dog reacts positively to the crate.

The Association of Professional Dog Trainers recommends the use of crates for puppies and dogs as a short-term training tool and as a safety precaution throughout the dog’s life.

Crates can be invaluable in house training young dogs and helping to curtail destructive behavior, such as chewing. As more people

Dr. Matthew Krupnick, D.V.M.

travel with their pets, crates also provide a safe and convenient confinement option in the car, on an airplane and in pet-friendly hotel rooms.

Crates also offer a cozy spot dogs can call their

own. Crates can feed dogs’ need for security. When used correctly, and not as punishment for a dog, crates can serve as comforting retreats for dogs when they need alone time.

Where to buy?

Crates can be purchased at most pet supply retailers, and they also are available at many department stores, hardware stores and online retailers. Pet owners who desire certain materials or have special requirements of their dog crates probably can find the biggest selection at pet supply stores.

What size to get?

It is important to consider the size of the dog

when purchasing a crate.

The crate shouldn’t be too big nor too small. Choose a crate in which the dog can sit up straight without banging its head on the top of the crate. Dogs also should be able to turn around with ease and lie down on their sides with paws extended.

Many pet owners make the mistake of getting a larger crate than is necessary. Dogs do not like to soil in their sleeping areas, but crates that are too large may encourage pooches to use one end as a bathroom and the other as a sleeping area, and ultimately that can make dogs less enthusiastic about crates. Also,

591 Newark Pompton Turnpike Pompton Plains, NJ

crates that are too large will not provide the feeling of security dogs crave.

According to Labrador Training HQ, measure the dog while he is standing upright from nose to the base of the tail. Add five to six inches to this measurement, and that will be an ideal length for the crate.

Also measure the dog while he is sitting upright. Again, add a few inches to the measurement, and this will be the minimum height of the crate.

What about a growing puppy?

Some owners prefer to upgrade crates as their dogs grow.

Budget-conscious

pet owners can buy a larger crate and then use a divider to size it down for puppy use. The divider can be moved as necessary when the puppy grows.

What are the different crate materials?

Crates come in plastic, metal wire, wood, and nylon or another fabric material. Each has its own share of advantages and disadvantages. Wire crates are what many people envision in a crate, and such crates are among the most popular because they procontinued on next page

hen setting your family budget, often the first thing that gets slashed is the summer vacation. However, if you plan ahead, you can find simple ways to save and keep your vacation on the calendar. Here are a few ideas.

Flexible location.

Sometimes you just want to get away to recharge and the location isn’t the biggest factor. If your heart isn’t set on a specific city, find a location that offers substantial savings over popular tourist destinations.

Avoid airport parking.

Have a friend or family member drop you off for

Summer Vacation Without Breaking The Bank

your flight. If you know people who live near the airport, ask if you can park your car at their home during your vacation. Look for hotels that offer “park and fly” packages that may save you some money.

Get creative about flying. Many metro areas have a number of airport options. Find out if choosing a less popular airport will give you a price break.

The day and time you fly can also save you money.

Consider choosing to fly on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Saturday. You may even find savings by choosing a flight time between 5 and 7 a.m. or after 8 p.m. Experiment with one-way ticket options to see if you can

find a better deal.

Stay with relatives. You don’t have to spend your entire vacation with relatives, but enjoying their hospitality for a night or two can do wonders for your vacation budget.

Eat for less. Stock your carry-on bag with solid snacks to avoid highpriced snacks on the plane.

When researching your destination, look for hotels that offer free breakfast.

Buying groceries on vacation is another great way to save on meals. Consider a light dinner a few times a week to give you additional savings.

These options may offer a bit of savings here and there, but added up, you

could save hundreds by planning ahead and being flexible about your summer vacation experience.

Comfortable Crate... cont. from page 10 vide ventilation, an easily cleaned floor tray, folding capabilities, and visibility for the dog. However, some dog owners feel wire crates bear too close a resemblance to cages.

Fabric crates can be cozy and light, but dogs that are prone to scratching and tearing may be able to escape them easily. Plastic crates can be more private, and wood crates can be customized to fit with the décor of the house.

Pet owners should shop around to find which crate

best fits the needs of their dogs. If crates will remain in the home, a more attractive crate may be a priority.

If the crate will be used for travel, something lighter and more portable may be the best fit.

Crates can be handy tools for dog owners, as crates provide a safe environment for dogs when owners aren’t home and can make great places for dogs to curl up in when they need a break from stimulation. Crates also are handy for travel. For more information on the right

A Colorful, Crunchy Salad

s days get longer and the weather gets warmer, take your meal outdoors for some tasty al fresco dining featuring a fresh and easyto-prepare salad.

With minimal ingredients and maximum flavor, this combination of radicchio, California green ripe olives, chickpeas and Parmesan is sure to find its way into your seasonal meal occasions, from at-home dinners to garden parties.

Boasting vibrant purple hues, radicchio not only looks beautiful on the plate but packs a unique and pleasing, bitter flavor that is complemented by the

texture added to each bite by toasted sunflower seeds and chickpeas.

Completing the salad are California Ripe Olives, which are grown by farming families across California. The California green ripe olive is similar to the black ripe olive but features a more mild and buttery flavor profile.

By Ann Marie Barron erry Glass of Millburn spends most of her days piecing together priceless memories for others to leave behind.

Through her brainchild, Memories Live, a not-forprofit enterprise she runs independently in Millburn, she helps terminally ill people capture their experiences, personalities and wisdom through custom-made movies they can pass on to their loved ones.

“It’s an opportunity for them to leave a piece of themselves behind, to share their personal history and family history and tell about what made them into who they are,’’ says Glass, 44, who holds a bachelor’s degree in fine arts with a focus on videography and photography and a minor in psychology from Rutgers University as well as a master’s degree in art therapy from Pratt Institute, New

Millburn Woman Records Testimonies Of Terminally Ill To Pass On Memories To Loved Ones York City.

The idea was hatched when a young mother in a neighboring community died of lung cancer, leaving behind a husband and children under the age of five.

“It struck me, as a mother of young kids, that these kids would never know the sound of their mom’s voice,’’ Glass says. “They’d never know advice she had to share. I thought, ‘what if I could help people leave a piece of themselves behind?’’’

She then reached out to a friend who had lost his mother when he was young.

What did he think of the idea? He said it would have been a wonderful thing to have and he wished he’d had something like that to remember his mother by, she recalled.

A few calls to area hospitals, hospices, nursing homes in the Millburn area, and Memories Live began.

That was more than six years ago.

Now a full-time job for Glass, most of the work gets done while her two children are in school, during evenings and on weekends.

When she first began, she handed subjects a 20page questionnaire, though people told her it was a bit too much.

“Now I have one page of questions for them,’’ she says. “I have all those other questions in my head, so it’s not so overwhelming.’’

Her clients’ average age is 55, and the youngest subject she’s filmed was 22 years old.

“I really only offer this to adults,’’ she says, noting that it is most valuable to those who are leaving behind very young family members.

“It’s for the child who didn’t’ get to know their parents,’’ she says. “They may see parts of their parents in

Lake Hopatcong Foundation Needs Community Votes For Floating Classroom

T

he Lake Hopatcong Foundation is seeking the community’s votes to win up to $100,000 in funding to purchase a 40foot, custom built, covered pontoon boat to be used as a floating classroom.

The classroom will be used for aquatic education for all districts in Morris County. It will hold full classes of students and oth-

er groups. The foundation is trying to win a grant from A Community Thrives, USA Today Network’s nationwide philanthropic program.

The program enables communities to act on ideas that improve the people, organizations, government and businesses around them.

County residents can

vote daily from through May 12 at www.lakehopatcongfoundation.org/vote.

“This is a terrific educational concept that could be valuable to school districts throughout Morris County,’’ said Morris County Freeholder Kathy DeFillippo. “I urge county residents to support the concept by voting for it.’’

themselves that they might not have been able to see, a dimple, the way they like their coffee; it will hopefully fill some kind of void, preserve a memory. Those of us who are so blessed to have our loved ones here take it for granted.’’

July will mark her seventh year in business. To date, she’s filmed more than 130 individuals. The only requirement is for a subject to have a life-limiting, terminal illness.

“I don’t ask for a doctor’s note,’’ she says. “I just go with ‘”honesty is the best policy.’’’ Glass said she’s willing to travel anywhere within a two-hour radius of her Millburn home. She funds her enterprise through grants, donations and an annual fundraiser, which took place last month. There is no charge for her service.

When she sits down with a subject, usually in their home, the conversation is wide-ranging.

“We’ll start talking about grandparents, memories of grandparents,’’ Glass ex-

plains. “Then, we’ll talk about their childhood, fond memories, schooling, college and advice for high school, advice for them to share about college, about your first job interview. We touch on every stage of life.

Then, I’ll ask them about what makes them, them – favorite foods, season, music, holiday - all the things that mold them into who they are.’’

Glass then spends hours combining the interview footage with music and family photos, creating a meaningful movie. The final product is delivered to the family in DVD format.

The job can be at times painful and emotionally draining, she admits.

“It affects me if I’m sitting across the camera from someone my age who has kids my kids’ age,’’ she says. “But, I walk into these people’s homes as a stranger and I leave as a friend. It’s really rewarding, and people are so grateful that the good outweighs the bad.’’

Glass is hoping to ac-

quire some funding through a contest she entered with a local Keller Williams Real Estate Agency, which is offering to donate proceeds from their 100th home sale to a local charity. Twelve non-profits are competing for $20,000 in prize money, to be divided among the top vote getters in an online contest. To vote for Memories Live, visit sueadler. com.

Anyone interested in having a movie made, should call 646-245-1698; email Glass at Kerry.glass@ memorieslive.org; or visit the website, www.memorieslive.org.

As for future endeavors for the Global Citizens, Battaglia is unsure, but she hopes to always find a beneficial activity.

“I like projects where we have to really work hard,

learn about other cultures, gain a great appreciation for others [animals and humans], and provide possible life-changing aspects for those we help and ourselves,” she says. “My family and I really do consider ourselves citizens of this world and with that take on the responsibility to help and care about people, places and things locally and globally. We’re bohemian nerds, meaning we like to roam this world purposefully to learn, participate and celebrate.”

The Coach

T

by Frank Minutolo he Coach is a new column that will be run monthly for business owners and individuals working for companies who want to continue learning so they can advance their careers.

The publishers believe that independent businesses are one of the most important factors in our country’s job growth and economic success. Some of the areas we will be covering in this column are: Problem Solving, Goal Setting, Increasing Sales, Motivation, Time Management, etc. If you have an area you would like addressed or have a question now you can ask Frank Minutolo, The Coach, by emailing him at tsg973@ aol.com. The topic for today is Problem Solving.

Problem solving- must be written and not verbal.

We have a specific approach to problem solving that I would like to share with you. When there is a problem it is important to be specific. Anyone in the

S

company claiming there is a problem needs to follow this procedure in detail.

What is the problem?

Explain with specifics.

The most important step in problem solving is defining the problem properly.

This is the most critical step. The problem must be clearly defined and oftentimes doing this leads to the resolution.

In defining the problem we should explore all possible causes of the problem. Do not just list the symptoms but look deeply for the “root cause” of the problem. This oftentimes requires a detailed analysis of the situation.

How does it affect our business?

Does it have a material effect on our business?

How? Is it something that is a personal annoyance to you as opposed to a business problem?

Can we quantify it?

How do we measure it?

What is the dollar impact?

If it’s time we are talking about, how much time?

Once you have done this then we expect you to explore solutions and list them. Don’t stop at one but list all the possible solutions you can think of. Do not jump to an obvious conclusion. Take time to list all possible solutions.

Once this is done you can then determine which are the best solutions for the problem at hand.

Final step: Which solution would you recommend and why?

How to implement solutions? What is needed to implement the solution?

Do you have the resources to put this idea into action?

If it cannot be implemented then there is no reason to pursue it.

Test the solution.

If we put a solution in place, what are the negative results that can come from it? Sometimes the reaction or response to a solution may create another problem. This has to be considered. When this is complete and you have the best solution…Do it!

Did You Know?

tudies have shown that music can have a beneficial impact on both mental and physical health. In a meta-analysis of 400 studies, researchers at McGill University in Montreal found that music can reduce stress and boost the immune system. That’s because listening to music increases the body’s production of immunoglobin A, an antibody that plays an

critical role in the function of the immune system and cells that attack viruses. A 2013 study even found that music can help children during visits to the emergency room. Researchers at the University of Alberta studied 42 children between the ages of 3 and 11, discovering that those who listened to relaxing music while having an IV inserted reported less pain than

children who did not listen to music. In addition, children who listened to music during the adminstration of the IV exhibited less anguish than the children who did not listen to music.

Healthcare workers even noted the ease of administering IVs to children who were listening to music compared to patients who were not listening to music.

Bridging The Distance On Mother’s Day

any modern families are spread out across the country if not the globe.

Some people move away from family to further their careers, while others are called upon to care for others. Children may separate from their parents to witness new travel experiences. Military service may call individuals away from home as well.

Distance can make it challenging to spend time together for major holidays and other special occasions — like Mother’s Day. But Mother’s Day can still be special even if Mom lives hundreds or thousands of miles away.

Embrace technology Technology helps break down some of the barriers created by distance. While

phone calls were once the way to keep in touch, many people now utilize various forms of digital communication. Someone who lives across different time zones can talk through texting or the various social media avenues available on computers, phones and tablets.

Video apps like Skype and FaceTime enable you to video chat with others in real time. Come Mother’s Day, connect with mom via such apps so you can watch her open up her gifts.

Reconnect with home If Mom is the one who ventured from home, help her to reconnect with her hometown or another place she feels attached to. Ship her some favorite regional foods that can only be bought in town. Make a photo or video montage of

places of interest in town.

These little touches of home can mean the world to her.

Create a special day Even if you do not live near your mother, you can still plan a fun day for her in her town. Make reservations for a spa, hair salon or other sources of pampering and surprise her with all the details.

Treat her to the ultimate surprise If possible, make a surprise visit this Mother’s Day. Coordinate the plan with your father or another relative and then enjoy seeing her eyes light up when you arrive.

With a little creativity, even families separated by geography can share the magic of Mother’s Day together.

he real estate market will always have its ups and downs, but real estate is an oft-profitable investment. Real estate investors do their investing for various reasons.

Some see a house as a place to hang their hats for years and years, while others look at properties as nothing more than investments.

Buying a home with the intent to fix it up and resell it is called a “fix and flip.” In such situations, investors buy homes at below-market prices before refurbishing the homes with the goal of recouping their initial investment and then some when the homes are ultimately put back on the market. Flipping has become popular for both expert remodelers and novice investors. RealtyTrac®,

How To Transform A Fixer-Upper

the nation’s leading source for comprehensive housing data, noted in its “Year-End and Q4 2015 U.S. Home Flipping” report that 5.5 percent of all single family home and condo sales during the year were flipped properties. This marked an increase from the same time the previous year.

Investing in a fixer-upper requires a leap of faith and a vision of what the home can look like in the future. Turning a real estate lemon into lemonade requires certain skills and a good measure of patience.

The following are some guidelines to get anyone started.

• Don’t bite off more than you can chew. Make an honest assessment of your abilities and which renovations, if any, you can

handle. If you are unskilled or inexperienced working with your hands, then it can be easy for an investment property to quickly become a money pit. Before purchasing a property, hire a trained home inspector to tour the home with you and point out all of the areas that will need renovation.

With this list, begin getting estimates on how much money the work will entail.

Determine if this fits with your budget or not. You do not want to invest so much that it exceeds what you could feasibly recoup when it comes time to sell.

• Overlook cosmetic things when visiting properties. Cosmetic issues include all of the easily replaceable items in a home, such as carpeting, appliances, interior paint colors

and cabinetry. Focus on the bones of the house — the architectural integrity and those little touches that you envision having a “wow” factor.

• Seek the help of experts. Some flippers think they’ll save the most money by doing all of the work themselves. This isn’t always the case. Professional architects, designers and contractors may help you save money. Contractors have an intimate knowledge of where to buy materials and may be able to negotiate prices based on - FREE wholesale or tradeLawn costs. In addition, experts can help you avoid common pitfalls because they’ve already done this type of work time and again. It’s smart to rely on expert advice, even if it means investing a little bit

more.

• Save money by doing some work yourself.

While the pros may tackle the more complex parts of a given project, such as rewiring electricity or changing the footprint of a home, you can still be involved.

Ask to participate in demolition, such as taking down walls or removing old materials from the home. Such participation may be fun, and it can save you substantial amounts of money on labor.

• Recognize that not everything must be completeCare Tipsthat, - in ly redone. Realize some instances, a coat of paint and some new accents may be all you need to transform a space. For example, if kitchen cabinets are in good condition, see if they can be refaced or

WEED-FREE LAWN!

painted instead of replaced entirely. Install new door pulls/handles to add visual interest. Look for some ready-made items, such as bookshelves, instead of installing custom carpentry.

• Think about what the buyer wants and not what you want. Renovate with an eye toward prospective buyers’ needs. Keep things neutral and accommodating. Research the latest trends to understand what buyers might be seeking in a home. You want potential buyers to envision themselves moving right in.

Renovating a fixer-upper takes time, but it can be a worthwhile project, and one that can help anyone turn a profit in a booming real estate market.

Houseplants Can Clean Indoor Air

ardening is a rewarding hobby that can pay a host of dividends, both for the planet and the people doing the gardening. Healthy plant life can help clean the air by absorbing carbon dioxide and various air pollutants, while the act of gardening can help gardeners combat stress.

Published in 2011 in

the Journal of Health Psychology, a study from researchers in the Netherlands found that gardening promotes relief from acute stress. In the study, two groups of participants were asked to complete a stressful task and then instructed to either read indoors or garden outdoors for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, the latter group had lower

sequestering such toxins by incorporating them into plant tissues.

Clean indoor air is important for everyone, but especially so for those people who suffer from respiratory ailments like asthma.

In fact, the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology considers indoor air filtration an essential part of any strategy to improve respiratory health.

But filtration systems and air purifiers are often not enough, and those who want the air in their homes to be as clean as possible may benefit from introducing certain houseplants into their homes. The following are a handful of plants that can help to improve indoor air quality.

• Aloe vera: Aloe vera

levels of the stress hormone cortisol and even reported being in a better mood than the group instructed to read indoors.

But gardening does more than just provide gardeners with a reason to spend some time relaxing outdoors in an effort to relieve stress. Gardeners who raise certain plants may be able to bring those benefits with them when going inside as well. According to an article published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives in October 2011, houseplants can work wonders when it comes to improving overall health, removing toxins from air, soil and water by metabolizing some toxic chemicals and releasing harmless byproducts while

might be most often associated with hand creams and hand soaps, but the aloe vera plant, a succulent that even novice gardeners should have no problem growing, can clear indoor air of formaldehyde and benzene, two common byproducts of chemical-based cleaners many people use in their homes.

• Spider plant: Spider plants are resilient, and that makes them great houseplants for busy men and women who tend to be forgetful when caring for their plants. In addition, spider plants are pet-friendly and can be used to combat benzene, carbon dioxide, formaldehyde and xylene.

• English ivy: NASA researchers exploring the possibilities of long-term

space habitation found that certain houseplants were more effective at cleaning air inside energy-efficient, nonventilated buildings than others. One such plant was English ivy, which can effectively combat the formaldehyde found in certain household cleaning products.

• Bamboo palm: Bamboo palms also found their way onto NASA’s list.

Bamboo palm plants thrive indoors, where they are especially effective at filtering out the chemicals benzene and trichloroethylene.

Gardening has been proven to be a soothing hobby that can help gardeners reduce stress. But the health benefits of gardening can extend indoors as well.
