Deduct sum from the settlement statement ILYCE GLINK TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
Q
uestion: Last summer we refinanced our farm home. Line 103 of the settlement statement indicated that we had settlement charges of about $4,000. A month or so later, we listed the property for sale and it closed at the end of last year. Can we claim the $4,000 on our income tax itemized statement (schedule A) for last year? Answer: Just about everybody has seen a settlement statement if they have purchased or sold a home during the last 30 years or so. That settlement statement is usually prepared by the closing agent, title company, settlement agent or by the person handling the closing of a residential transaction. The settlement statement goes by the name of HUD-1, closing statement or settlement statement, depending on what state you are in. But the document itself is a standard statement that is the same wherever you close on a residential real estate transaction. There might be some exceptions, but most everyone will agree that the form seems quite long and confusing, even after the so called improvements to the form put in place at the beginning of last year. The amount you referenced from line 103 is the sum of costs from the second page of the settlement statement. You are right to think that you might be able to deduct some of those expenses, but some are definitely not deductible. The second page of the settlement statement will include charges from your lender to give you financing; it may also include points and fees charged by your lender, fees charged by the closing agent, title company and other parties, prepaid interest, fees to record documents, and amounts you might need to escrow for real estate taxes and insurance payments. For practical purposes, you might have already deducted or have the right to deduct some of those fees. If you paid interest at the time of your closing, you might have received a 1099 form from your lender itemizing the interest that was part of that $4,000. You won’t be able to deduct that amount twice. Some of the closing costs from that page of the form are I See GLINK/Page E3

WHAT IS A BTU? The term BTU, or British Thermal Units, indicates how well a heater or air conditioner can impact the temperature of a room. A higher number of BTUs means better heating or cooling.
CARE OF YOUR AC UNIT It is a good idea to change disposable air conditioning filters every 60 days. A general rule of thumb for any HVAC system owner is to have equipment thoroughly inspected at least once a year. Annual service visits will keep the system running at maximum efficiency and can help extend the life of the unit.

H&RE Featured Home Plan
Alder
Springs Expansive home features both traditional and contemporary styling ASSOCIATED DESIGNS
A
n abundance of natural light washes into the Alder Springs great room through the self-same windows that offer great views to the rear. This home is designed for construction on a lot that slopes down at the left and back. While its neo-classical Georgian front facade gives it a traditional look, the interior floor plan is totally contemporary. Outside, smooth columns frame the lofty covered porch; raised stone bands accent the bold brick-veneer-covered columns that support and highlight the porte cochere. Expansive and richly windowed hexagonal rooms form the core of the interior on two levels. Both have wings. On the main floor, a wide covered deck wraps around three sides to offer the same fantastic viewing options as the great room. Doors in the central wall section provide deck access. At the basement level, similar doors lead to a covered patio that also wraps around three sides. A fireplace sits at the center of one wall section in the great room. The kitchen, which carves out a place for itself on the opposite wall, has two peninsular counters, which you can look out across into the great room and beyond. The counter that fronts the sink is rimmed by a raised eating bar. Two bedrooms and a bathroom are in the wing behind the kitchen. This wing also links to the porte cochere and its storage cabinets. A large utility room and the deluxe owners’ suite fill the opposite wing, along with a private screened porch that opens onto the deck. At the basement level of the Alder Springs, a large recreation room fills the hexagonal core, sharing space with a kitchenette, play room, and shop/storage area. A guest suite, bunk room and bathroom are also on this level. For a review plan, including scaled floor plans, elevations, section and artist’s conception, send $25 to Associated Designs, 1100 Jacobs Dr., Eugene, OR 97402. Please specify the Alder Springs 10-549 and include a return address when ordering. A catalog featuring more than 550 home plans is available for $15.

Q
Matriarch of the
Garden Sunflowers make a golden display in the garden KATHIE HOPKINS CSU EXTENSION
T
he sunflower, with its regal nodding head, is often called the matriarch of the garden. It seems to watch over plants around it and has multiple personalities, colors and uses. It is an annual or a perennial plant in the Colorado region and is used for decoration, oil, paper production, fuel, and food for humans, cattle, and birds. The sunflower is from the Helianthus genus and the annual plant is native to Central America, believed to have been domesticated in Mexico at approximately 2600 B.C. In North America, some Native American groups were known to plant sunflowers on the north edges of their gardens as a “fourth sister” to the combination of corn, beans, and squash. Early Natives made full use of the plant; they ate the seeds, ground the kernels into flour, extracted oil from seeds for their hair, and used the seeds, flower petals and pollen to make dyes for face paint, cloths and baskets. The Maximillian sunflower (Helianthus maximillanii) is a perennial sunflower that is native to North American and a reliable bloomer in the Colorado area. It easily withstands the intense heat and produces buckets of three-inch yellow flowers that are loved by both butterflies and birds. It reaches heights of three-to-10-feet tall and is drought-tolerant once established. The sunchoke or Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus) is another example of a perennial sunflower native to North America. It produces bright yellow blooms above ground while growing an edible tuber below ground. Jerusalem artichokes grow easily in Colorado and the gardener may be tempted to leave them undisturbed. However, the plant needs to be dug and replanted every few years or the quality of the tuber will degrade. Sunflowers have a rough, hairy stems, with broad, coarse leaves and circular heads of flowers. The head is not a single flower, but is made of thousands of small flowers or florets that are crowded together and join in the center. The outer petal-bearing florets can be any color from yellow to red to orange to brown, while the florets inside the head mature into seeds. Some sunflower varieties have an inability to self-pollinate and require insects to move the pollen between plants, a job that bees happily perform. Many gardeners believe that the sunflower will track the sun, an action known as heliotropism. However, only young sunflowers will have leaves and buds that change from east to west during the day. Once the plant is mature, the flower will typically face east and will not move. The plant is a bit of a gymnast while growing and demonstrates phototropism, which occurs when the petioles (leaf stalk) bend and twist toward the light during the day, then unbend and untwist at night. Sunflowers need at least six hours of full sun a day and should be spaced 12 inches apart, while the very large sunflowers ought to be spread sporadically throughout the garden to avoid crowding. Avoid
high nitrogen soil which encourages plant growth but fewer blooms. Sunflowers can be planted when day and night temperatures are above 50 degrees Fahrenheit and optimum temperatures for growth are 70-78 degrees. Sunflowers are not considered highly drought tolerant although the plant does have an extensively branched taproot, which may penetrate up to nearly seven feet, and can aid the plant during water stress. A critical time for water stress is the period 20 days before and 20 days after flowering and better results are noted if additional watering is done during this period. A sunflower patch is an excellent wildlife habitat for birds and squirrels. But if you’d like to harvest the seed heads, cover the flower with netting or cheesecloth as the seeds are forming. Four months after planting seeds, the plants will be mature and the seeds ready to harvest. When the flower heads are turned down, the florets in the center of the flower disk are shriveled, and a lemon yellow color is on the back side, cut the seed head with about one foot of stem attached. Hang the seed head in a warm, dry and well-ventilated place that is free of insects and rodents. Place a paper bag with holes or cheesecloth over the heads to catch the falling seeds as they drop during drying. The sunflower has multiple uses as a food. The seeds are eaten as a snack, processed into a type of peanut butter known as sunbutter, mixed with flour in bread, used as food for birds, and added directly into cooking and salads. Sunflower oil is used for cooking, in salads and to produce margarine. A new form of sunflower oil is called Nusun which contains only 10 percent of saturated fat and 90 percent of unsaturated fat and is second to olive oil in healthy features. The sunflower is also being explored for use in diverse projects. Sunflowers produce latex and experiments are being done to use sunflowers as an alternative crop for the production of hypoallergenic rubber. Sunflowers can also be used to extract toxic ingredients, like arsenic, uranium, and lead. Sunflower oil is also used to produce biodiesel fuel and is being investigated as an alternate fuel source for diesel engines. The blend of sunflower oil and diesel fuel is thought to have more potential than the use of pure vegetable oil. Sunflower hulls are also being pressed into pellets and used as heating fuel. The sunflower pellets are initially cheaper than coal; however they burn faster than coal, which results in an equivalent cost to the consumer. To roast your own home-grown sunflower seeds, follow this recipe: Plain sunflower seeds can be roasted at 300 degrees for 20-30 minutes. If you have a desire for salted seeds, soak seeds overnight in a solution of two tablespoons of salt in one cup of water. Boil the seed and salt solution for a few minutes, and then drain the liquid. Spread the seeds on a flat pan and roast at 200 degrees for three hours or until crisp.

(Aegopodium podagraria). Left unchecked, it will grow all over, and become a thug in your perennial bed. Question: Why are some plants termed noxious? Are these plants the worst of the worst? How can plants be so bad? Answer: Noxious generally refers to non-native weeds. These are introduced plants which spread and reproduce rapidly, displace native plants, and result in lost agricultural pro-
ductivity. For more information, visit Planttalk Colorado at www.planttalk.org and refer to script #2103 for a brief description.

Perfect
Timing
Harvest your vegetables at their peak CAROL O'MEARA CSU EXTENSION
W
e’re swinging into the busy harvest season, when daily trips through the vegetables yield savory additions to dinnertime fare. I admit I ignored my garden for a few days while on vacation; returning to it we found slim eggplants, young cucumbers and fully-sized cauliflower ready for harvest. We were lucky — the harvest was still in its early stages, offering up a few vegetables here and there. The days of overflowing baskets and counters are a few weeks away. If you’re new to the fun of growing your own vegetables, keep a few tips in mind for knowing when to pluck your produce from the garden. Taste and color yield clues to whether the vegetable is immature or overripe, but know your variety and its characteristics. Green tomatoes
take skill and experience to gauge, often requiring the gardener to taste plenty of tangy, under-ripe fruit before you get the hang of the plant’s subtle signs.
EGGPLANT Slender Japanese types are the first of the season, followed by the larger pods of the classic varieties. Harvest: Eggplant that’s shiny, uniformly deep in color with a bright green cap as it nears mature size listed for that variety. Cut through the stem to harvest, don’t pull. Avoid: Dull color, green tinge or brown discolorations — all signs of bitter or old fruit. Tip: Becomes bitter if stored too long, so eat soon or store it in the fridge for up to a week.
TOMATOES Heirloom tomatoes pack plenty of taste in stripes, pinks, greens, browns, and blacks. Their flavor is as exotic as their names: complex, smoky Black from Tula, sweet, delicate Dr. Wychees, or rich, old fashioned Brandywine. Harvest: Brilliantly colored, firm, glossy skin marks a ripe tomato, and the longer you leave it on the vine to ripen, the more complex the flavor will be. Snip the fruit, don’t pull. Avoid: Unless a quirk of the type, traces of green indicates that the fruit is immature, the flavor less satisfying.
to watch the stem for the small crack that surrounds the join with the melon. When the crack spreads threequarters of the way around the join, the cantaloupe is a slip stage and ready for harvest. Avoid: Spongy, wrinkled or moldy rinds are a sign of overripe fruit.
PEPPERS
GREEN BEANS Green beans are best when picked young, cooled quickly and brought to the table. Harvest: Good snap beans are slim, the seeds small and not swelling. Look for pods less than one quarter to one eighth inch around with bright color and an audible snap when broken. Avoid: Spindly, blemished or limp beans or those that are stringy when snapped.
While bells are the best known sweet peppers, sweet bananas and Italian bull’s horn types add thrill to fresh salads.
