Going On Vacation? Your Smartphone Can Help Keep Your Home Safe While You’re Away (NAPS)—With the economy picking up, more and more families are planning trips this season. Your next vacation may be more relaxing once you realize all the convenience and security you have at your fingertips—thanks to your smartphone and its many useful apps.

Apps Away Smartphones offer so many apps to help you make the most of your time away. There are airline apps, restaurant finders, apps to help you make sense of overseas currencies, and travel apps to help you decide what to do and see.

That may be one reason, according to a recent Choice Hotels travel survey, millennial travelers and parents with kids under 12 would rather lose their luggage than go without their phones.

Home Management From Your Phone Some of the most valuable technologies for travelers, however, aren’t focused on the trip itself. As travel picks up this season, families turn to technology to easily manage their households from afar. For example: • There are apps that let you control the lights, drapes, TV and radio from anywhere, so you can make your house look lived in even when it’s not.

• Smart locks can send push notifications to owners’ phones when someone locks or unlocks the front door.

• Some apps can adjust the thermostat so you can save on energy costs while you’re away and still come home to a comfortable, climatecontrolled house.

• With the Kwikset Kevo smart lock, you can manage electronic keys (eKeys) and control your home security through the Kevo app.

• If you need a neighbor to take out the trash or check if you left the oven on, you can quickly send a free Guest eKey through the Kevo app.

There’s also a Scheduled eKey that lets you set day and time constraints from the phone for house sitters and dog walkers.

Learn More About The App For further facts or to find out how to get the Kevo app, go to www.kwikset.com/kevo or call (800) 327-5625.

Tips On Organizing Your Closets Like A Pro (NAPS)—Any time of year can be the right time to give your closets the once-over. A well-organized closet space offers several benefits. For starters, you can save time when you can find the items you are looking for. That can also mean less stress and more time to enjoy with family and friends.

To help, here are some tips from EasyClosets—an online provider of do-ityourself custom organization systems for all areas of the home.

• Closets can be easily overrun with clothes, shoes and jackets that you no longer wear or are out of season and are taking up valuable space. Rotating your wardrobe with the season and purging items keeps everything organized and gives your closet some space to breathe.

• When it comes to the closet space itself, create dedicated areas for specific types of items so you will know where to find them—and where to put them away—every time.

• Position shelves, hanging rods and drawers in a convenient location that makes it simple to get to items that are used frequently.

• Then use your closet’s top shelves to store off-season or seldom-used items, including hats, luggage and extra bedding.

• In the master bedroom closet, organize your belts, ties or scarves with pull-out racks that keep items separated and accessible.

• In your kids’ closets, you can make it easier to keep things orderly with baskets and shelves placed within their reach. Wire baskets will let your little ones see what’s inside.

Double up on hanging rods to maximize space and make clothing items more visible. As they grow, you can move or remove the adjustable rods.

• To organize your entryway closet, create zones by dedicating baskets, hooks and shelves to each family member. Use them to store jackets, shoes, hats, bags, the dog’s leash and seasonal items.

• If you want to get your closets organized right away, EasyClosets offers products that are custom made in one business day and shipped to your home. The company even has an intuitive online design tool to make space planning quick and easy for homeowners.

Complimentary design service is also available, allowing customers to have an expert review their plan or create it for them.

Upgrading to a custom closet can increase the quality and value of your home. Plus, you can save up to 50 percent by designing and installing the organizers yourself.

Safety First: Protect Yourself During DIY Projects (NAPS)—Reality TV shows, online webcasts and YouTube videos have encouraged many people to try the do-it-yourself (DIY) route when it comes to tackling less-complicated home renovations or fixes. Often, there are advantages to DIY projects, such as financial savings, learning new skills, environmental benefits and more.

Sometimes, however, safety can seem an afterthought when it comes to DIY. Bear in mind, accidents can happen to anyone—whether you’re cleaning the gutters, installing new floors or rearranging heavy furniture.

In fact, of the more than 50 million DIY home improvement projects that will take place this year, one in five of the participating homeowners will experience an injury, according to the Home Safety Council. These accidents can add up: The Healthcare Leadership Council found that without health insurance, the average cost to treat a broken leg is more than $10,000.

This can be a problem considering a recent survey of employees, commissioned by Aflac, found that 49 percent of employees have less than $1,000 on hand to pay for out-of-pocket medical expenses.

When participating in a DIY project, consider the following safety tips to help reduce your risk of becoming injured and facing medical bills you can’t afford.

1. Always follow instructions.

Before starting any project, carefully read the instruction manual of any appliance or tool you’ll be using.

2. Forgo fashion.

Always wear protective clothing, including safety goggles, gloves and a dust mask, when working with potentially hazardous materials. Avoid jewelry and loose clothing while using power tools.

3. Keep a first-aid kit handy.

Choose a first-aid kit that’s easy to carry, latches securely and can be opened quickly.

4. Never leave a project unattended.

Never leave tools or materials unsupervised during a DIY project. Unattended power tools or a bucket of paint on your ladder can be a disaster in the making.

5. Know when to hire a pro.

Although you may save money with a DIY project, taking matters into your own hands may do more harm than good. Small jobs can be simple but many tasks are better left to the experts.

6. Add a layer of protection.

September/October, 2015 Get Your Outdoor Power Equipment Ready For Winter (And Spring)

(NAPS)—How well your outdoor power equipment works the next time you need it could depend on how you winterize and store it. Here are hints that can help: Do your winterization tasks in a safe work zone. Before you start, set up a safe work zone. Work only in a well-ventilated area that is away from heat sources, sparks or flames.

Collect your outdoor power equipment that you intend to store. This might include a lawn mower, generator, string trimmer, chain saw, edger, power washer, blower, chipper, splitter or other tool that uses a small engine to do outdoor work.

Read the owner’s manual. Always consult your owner’s manual for directions on how to properly winterize and store your equipment. If you can’t find your manual, check the manufacturer’s website.

Be safe. Before servicing or repairing any outdoor power equipment, disconnect the spark plug and battery cables. Wear safety glasses and gloves to protect against harmful chemicals and debris.

Drain the fuel. Stored equipment should not have fuel in its tank. Many fuels today contain ethanol, which absorbs water and may phase separate, causing operating problems. If there is fuel in the tank, remove what remains. Run the engine until it stops.

Store leftover fuel properly. Gasoline should be stored no more than 30 days without being treated with a fuel stabilizer. Use a sealed container that is ap­proved for fuel storage. Always keep fuel out of the reach of children and away from heat sources or flames.

Check and clean your equipment. Check for loose belts or missing or damaged guards. Check and tighten all screws and nuts. Grass, leaves and dirt that have accumulated on the equipment should be removed.

Lubricate, sharpen and charge as needed. Check the oil level and blade condition. Change the oil now if needed. Get your lawn mower blade sharpened so it will be ready for spring. Inspect the spark plug, replace it and add clean engine oil. Check the air filter and clean or replace as needed. If your equipment has a removable battery, take it out and store it in a warm spot. If you have a battery charger, you may want to charge the battery before storing.

Take your equipment in for servicing if needed. A busy lawn care season may have left your equipment worn and in need of repair. The winter season is when repair shops are the least busy, so if your equipment needs a tuneup or additional servicing, now is a good time to take it in.

Find a safe storage space. Store your equipment away from pool chemicals, cleaners or fertilizers—anything that could cause corrosion from spills. Your storage A Branch of First Neodesha Bank area should be cool and dry, and your equipment should be out of the reach of children and pets.

Properly store your supplies. Avoid www.fnb-ks.com spills in your storage space by storing your lawn care and outdoor supplies properly.

Leftover lawn care materials should be stored in sealed containers, so pests such location inside Wal-Mart as rodents are not drawn to your storage space.

Find your winter equipment and place it in an accessible location. Dig out the snow shovels, snowblowers or throwers, scrapers, ice melt or rock salt. If you are out of winter supplies, now can be a good time to stock up before you need them.

Place your winter equipment and supplies in an accessible location.

“Well-maintained equipment will last longer and save consumers money.

Winterizing and storing outdoor power equipment properly over the winter means that when spring arrives, your equipment will be ready,” ex­ plained Kris Kiser, president and CEO of the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI), an international trade association representing power equipment, small See Travis Warstler or Melissa Morris engine, and utility vehicle manufacturers for all your banking needs. and suppliers.
