“I like nonsense; it wakes up the brain cell. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living; it’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.”

Arguably one of the most influential and creative writers of the 20th century, Dr. Seuss had the incredible ability to create worlds within worlds that have entertained the young and old alike.

the “Jack-O-Lantern” and worked his way up to editor-in-chief.

Everything seemed to be going well for the young writer/artist. But this was the time of Prohibition and the future Dr. Seuss wasn’t above the law. When he got caught drinking gin in his dorm room with nine other friends, the dean of students, Craven Laycock, banned Geisel from participating in any extracurricular activities including the “Jack-O-Lantern.”

Not to be so easily dismissed, he continued to write and submit cartoon drawings for the magazine under the name “Seuss.”

First off, let’s set the record straight.

The name “Seuss” was the writer’s middle name and his mother’s maiden name. But all this time, people have been pronouncing it incorrectly.

It’s actually pronounced “zoice,” as in voice with a z. Dr. Seuss used his name in several different variations over the course of his life, including Dr. Theophrastus Seuss, Theo LeSieg (which is Geisel spelled backwards) T. Seuss, and Seuss. Obviously, the one that stuck was his faux-doctoral title which he adopted in 1927 and then shortened to just Dr. Seuss in 1928. When his work became popular, the mispronunciation was never corrected and Dr. Zoice became Dr. Soose.

Geisel graduated from Dartmouth in 1925 and headed to Oxford where he intended to study for a Doctorate of Philosophy in English. It’s said that although Geisel sincerely attempted to take his studies seriously, his notebooks were often filled more with drawings and sketches than with notes from the lectures.

Born on Mar. 2, 1904, in Springfield Mass., Theodor “Ted” Seuss Geisel had a relatively run-of-the-mill upbringing. He graduated high school in 1921 and went to Dartmouth College.

Geisel began writing and drawing for the school’s humor magazine called

STAR

LANDSCAPING

In a small apartment in New York, Geisel worked on his cartoons, hoping to make a living for himself and his new bride. A year went by without much success. Then, in 1928, officially drawing cartoons under the name Dr. Seuss, he submitted a cartoon to Judge magazine which referenced an insecticide called Flit. The cartoon was of a knight who said, “Darn it all, another dragon. And just after I’d sprayed the whole castle with Flit!”

Piggybacking off the initial cartoon, Dr. Seuss created an entire campaign

The text in “And to think that I saw it on Mulberry Street” was his way of entertaining himself while on the trip; he put together the entire story to coincide with the rhythms of the ship’s engines. The Mulberry Street he wrote about was actually a street that was just a few blocks away from where Dr. Seuss grew up in Springfield, Mass.

By 1941, Dr. Seuss had written and published four children’s books and was working on his fifth. But with the onset of World War II, Dr. Seuss set his sights on a different type of writing. He began writing and drawing political cartoons for the New York newspaper PM. Dr. Seuss spent 21 months in that position, where he developed a strong political point of view.

Dr. Seuss made his opinions most obvious in several stories that he wrote after WWII ended. In 1958, he wrote “Yertle the Turtle,” the inspiration for which he supposedly took from Adolf Hitler’s rise to power. Having experienced some racial prejudice while he was in college, Dr. Seuss also had strong feelings about discrimination, which he illustrated in 1961 in “The Sneetches.” It is said that those experiences, in addition to the anti-Semitism that raged during the war, helped him create a world where “Sneetches are Sneetches / And no kind of Sneetch is the best on the beaches.”

He picked up on the political theme when he wrote “The Butter Battle Book” which it is said shows his concern about the United States’ contribution to the progression of the nuclear arms race.

LEAVING A LEGACY… By 1960, he and his wife, along with Phyllis Cerf founded Beginner Books, a division of Random House.

Through this company, Dr. Seuss published “Green Eggs and Ham,” his best-selling title to date.

In total, Dr. Seuss published 46 chil-

dren’s books over the course of his lifetime. He has been called America’s best-known reading teacher, although it’s said that Dr. Seuss didn’t intend to teach children to read through his books; he wanted them to think. He said, “Children’s reading and children’s thinking are the rockbottom base upon which this country will rise. Or not rise. In these days of tension and confusion, writers are beginning to realize that books for children have a greater potential for good or evil than any other form of literature on earth.”

Lately the Chokeberry has been getting a lot of attention for its remarkable health benefits. The Aronia berry is being called a “Superfood” for its high levels of antioxidants and ability to combat and prevent a long list of health problems including Cancer, Diabetes and High blood pressure. Interestingly, Chokeberries were found to have superior levels of antioxidants when compared to other berries including Blueberries! This may be a good reason to start adding Chokeberries into your diet, and your landscape!

Dr. Seuss died on Sept. 24, 1991 at the age of 87 after succumbing to throat cancer. He left behind his second wife, Audrey and her two adult children Lark and Lea.

Chokeberry Syrup Ingredients 7 cups juice 1/2 cup lemon juice 1 package pectin 6 cups granulated sugar

MORE ABOUT SEUSS • Dr. Seuss once claimed that the ideas for his stories came from a town called Uber Gletch, located 2,000 feet above Gletch in Switzerland. He said he went there every Aug. 4 to get his cuckoo clock repaired and while it was being fixed, he talked to people in the town who gave him story ideas.

ARONIA IN THE SPOTLIGHT

A

ronia or Chokeberry bush is a cold hardy deciduous shrub that has dark green glossy foliage in the summer and delicate white flowers in the spring. It’s not the same as the Chokecherry we all have in our backyards. It is a multiseason shrub that is often overlooked.

Aronia is very adaptable to light and water conditions. It can do well anywhere from full sun to part sun to shade! It has moderate water requirements, but it will also tolerate a wet site. This can make it a good option for a full sun and wet site or a shady and slightly dry site, where many plants won’t grow.

• “Nerd” first appeared in Dr. Seuss’s “If I Ran the Zoo.” • In 1939, Dr. Seuss went into business with Ralph Warren to invent an Infantograph, which claimed it could show what a couple’s children would look like. It didn’t work.

Aronia is a great landscape shrub because it has something of interest for every season. In the late summer it is covered with beautiful plump dark purple or red fruit, which is why it is in the spotlight right now! Now all of the dangling fruit which, depending on the variety, are black to dark red are starting to ripen, and if their not harvested they will persist well into winter making it highly ornamental. As the days and nights get cooler the foliage turns to orange and then red which really sets up an eye-catching contrast of colors.

• Dr. Seuss wrote several books for adults, including “The Seven Lady Godivas” in 1939, which included illustrations of nude people.

• During WWII, Dr. Seuss wrote “Design for Death” a documentary about Japanese culture that won the 1947 Academy Award for Documentary Feature.

eniors older than 65 who have higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids in their blood benefit from reduced mortality risk, specifically from heart disease, according to a study by the Harvard School of Public Health and the University of Washington.

We are a federally designated debt relief agency pursuant to Title 11 of the U.S. Code, to help people file bankruptcy

The 16-year study gathered information on three specific types of fatty acid: docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which is related to lower risk of death from heart disease; eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), which is linked to lower risk of non-fatal heart attacks; and docosapentaenoic acid (DPA), which is associated with lower risk of stroke death.

The study concluded that adults with higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids in their blood:

• reduce their overall mortality risk by as much as 27 percent;

Some researchers have declared the study faulty, however, because it didn’t specifically address the consumption of fish. It also excluded participants who took fish oil supplements and concentrated on the levels of fatty acid in the blood.

If you’re curious about this study, ask your doctor if it would be appropriate for you to add one or two servings of fish per week to your diet. The types of fish classified as “fatty” include cold-water albacore tuna, trout, salmon, sardines, herring and mackerel. Other ways to get omega-3 include eggs, walnuts and canola oil.

AGE NO BARRIER TO HEART VALVE REPAIR

Including Allergy Injections

Early on in aortic stenosis, all goes well. When the valve narrows to a critical size, about 1 square centimeter, symptoms arise, and heart damage progresses more rapidly.

The three most important symptoms and signs of aortic stenosis are shortness of breath when up and about, chest pain with activity and fainting spells. Once these symptoms appear, a downhill course in heart health is to be expected.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: What elevates a person’s white blood cell count? What can a person do about it? Mine has been high for a while.

-- B.L.

Even though you’re 86, age is not a contraindication to surgery. If your health is otherwise good, you could be a candidate for it. Discuss with the doctor the surgery he has in mind. Ask if you might be able to receive a new valve inserted into the heart through a surface blood vessel by way of a catheter. No extensive incisions are made. It’s a less-trauMy doctor referred me to a cardi- matic procedure. ologist, who told me I need surgery.

Will you explain will increase your life span and will in plain English what I have, and do away with the severe symptoms if surgery would lengthen my life that come from a narrowed aortic valve. span? -- M.I. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I had an echocardiogram. The findings are consistent with “moderate to severe aortic stenosis with trace mitral and tricuspid regurgitation and mild pulmonic insufficiency, with left atrial enlargement and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. The ejection fraction is greater than 65 percent.”

ANSWER: Forget about the mitral, tricuspid and pulmonic heart valves. These three valves have an insignificant leak. Your aortic valve, however, is your main problem. The aortic valve closes after the heart pumps blood out to the rest of the body. Your valve is so narrow (stenosis) that it creates an obstacle to emptying the heart of blood. That has given rise to “dia-

ANSWER: White blood cells are the body’s warriors. They fight germs and perform other tasks to protect the body from infection.

The normal white blood cell count is 5,000 to 10,000.

Infections, inflammation, trauma, some noninfectious illnesses, leukemia and stress (including emotional stress) raise the count. So do dehydration and cortisone medicines.

The booklet on heart-valve disorders describes the more common causes of heart-valve problems and how they are treated.

If no illnesses are found, it’s not unusual to ignore the higher-than-normal count. If suspicions of hidden illness are high, then further testing has to be done -- like a bone marrow test. A person can do nothing on his own to lower the count. *** Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

MOMENTS IN TIME THE HISTORY CHANNEL

• On May 1, 1926, Ford Motor Company becomes one of the first companies in America to adopt a five-day, 40-hour week.

In early 1914, Ford had announced it would pay workers a minimum wage of $5 per eight-hour day, upped from a previous rate of $2.34 for nine hours. • On April 30, 1939, the New York World’s Fair opens in New York City on a 1,200-acre site at Flushing Meadow Park in Queens.

Among the new technology exhibited was FM radio, robotics, fluorescent lighting and a crude fax machine. • On May 3, 1946, in Tokyo, the International Military Tribunals begins hearing the case against 28 Japanese military and government officials accused of committing war crimes during World War II. The trial ended with 25 of 28 Japanese defendants being found guilty. Of the three other defendants, two had died during the trial, and one was declared insane. • On May 5, 1955, the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) becomes a sov-

ereign state when the United States, France and Great Britain end their military occupation, which had begun in 1945. With this action, West Germany was given the right to rearm and become a full-fledged member of the western alliance against the Soviet Union.

• On May 2, 1964, an explosion of a charge assumed to have been placed by Viet Cong terrorists sinks the USNS Card at its dock in Saigon. No one was injured and the ship was eventually raised and repaired. The Card had arrived in Saigon two days earlier. • On May 4, 1970, at Kent State University in Ohio, students protesting the Vietnam War torch the ROTC building on campus, and Ohio Gov. James Rhodes called in the National Guard to restore order. The Guardsmen fired into the crowd, killing four and wounding 11. They were later brought to trial for the shootings, but found not guilty.

• On April 29, 1986, in a game against the Seattle Mariners at Fenway Park, Roger Clemens of the Boston Red Sox becomes the first pitcher in Major League Baseball to strike out 20 batters in a nine-inning game.

Ten years later, Clemens repeated the feat.

PUN-ISHMENT Did you hear about the cross eyed teacher who lost her job because she couldn’t control her pupils?

A broken pencil is pointless.

They told me I had type A blood, but it was a type-O. The old man didn’t like his beard at first.

Then it grew on him.

England has no kidney bank, but it does have a Liverpool.

I used to be a banker, but then I lost interest.

I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger. Then it hit me!

IT’S WHAT’S FOR BREAKFAST

By Nick Yanez

T

he birthing process is entirely unique to it’s species. I mean, look at the difference between how a Human and Chicken are born.

The entire idea if the egg is totally foreign to us (it’s what’s for breakfast!).

Strange to imagine being cooped up in an egg outside in the real world.

You would wiggle and grow until you’re finally strong enough to break out of the shell and breath fresh air.

That’s how many creatures come to be, though. Even some of the more unique species that have come to be extinct. Take the Elephant Bird for instance. The dinosaur-like creature roamed the Earth until roughly the beginning of the 17th century. It towered to an astonishing 11-feet tall and resembled the Ostrich. The flightless bird was also known to lay eggs that were 100 times larger than an average chicken egg! Wouldn’t that be a sight to see? Well, now it is.

Recently, scientists have discovered a party fossilized Elephant Bird egg in Madagascar. It’s diameter measured at 9 inches and was nearly a foot tall.

It’s a rare, unique find. So unique in fact, that those who discovered it were overcome by the temptation of selling it. So, at a British auction last week, they did. The egg was valued at around 30,000 pounds (almost $50,000 US Dollars) before the auction went live. Seems like a lot for a round fossil to me.

Nevertheless, once the bidding began, the interest in the egg soared.

After 10 minutes of competitive bidding, the anonymous winner claimed his new prize with a final bid of 66,675 pounds. That’s equal to over $100,000 US Dollars! For an egg, people. This seems borderline preposterous.

Now if the egg were not fossilized, we have a different story. Not only would you be buying a giant cool egg to be the centerpiece of your foyer, but you’d also have just purchased a future pet Elephant Bird. That, if I do say so myself, would be worth a hundred grand. Heck, I wouldn’t be angry if some rich British guy paid a million dollars or more for an egg with a pending Elephant Bird birth.

But, alas, that is not what happened.

Instead, this guy just bought an egg.

It makes me seriously question how some people are willing to waste their money. There’s the infamous story of the grilled cheese sandwich that sold for $28,000 on ebay, because the burn marks in the toast resembled the Virgin Mary. This egg fiasco isn’t as bad as that. The egg itself is cool too, or I wouldn’t be writing about it. Don’t get me wrong, I think the egg is fabulous. I just don’t find it worth a brain surgeons year-long salary.

Unless this gentleman is planning some sort of giant breakfast for the worlds most renown billionaires.

We’re talking Trump, Gates, Zuckerburg and the whole gang. He will serve them this one of a kind egg in an omelet for the elite; taking donations for his future political aspirations all the while. In that situation, I applaud anonymous British buyer; you are an inspiration to the masses.

May we all walk in the footprints of your untainted journey through life.

fier, a diuretic and help to relieve flatulence or colic. The mineral content in carrots lie very close to the skin and should not be peeled or scraped off.

CARROTS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM

T

he carrot is a very versatile vegetable. It can be used as a starter, main course, dessert or just as a snack. Carrots can be eaten raw or cooked in almost any manner imaginable.

Carrots help to maintain acidic and alkaline properties in the system. They provide important vitamins for eyes, skin, bones, heart and muscle health.

Carrots also can act as a blood puri-

When selecting carrots, make sure that they are a deep, rich color.

The deeper the carrot’s color, the more betacarotene it contains. If you’re buying the carrots with the leaves, select ones that they are moist and a bright green. Remove the carrot greenery as soon as possible because it robs the roots of moisture and vitamins. You can eat the green tops in a salad or use them similar to the way that you’d use fresh herbs to sprinkle on a dish.

Carrots that are less than 8-inches long and relatively uniform in shape and size are the best selection. Carrots should not bend when gently tested. They also should be well-shaped, firm and smooth with no cracks. They should not look wilted. When grated, carrots should be quite juicy.

Carrots are often sold with the tops removed. To judge the freshness, check the top of the carrot for darkening.

Serving Anne & Mann’s Gourmet Ice Cream The Kitchen Diva Continued from Page 13

Whether loose or in plastic bags, avoid carrots with green shoots sprouting out (not to be confused with their green tops) yellowed tips, soft spots or withering, as these are a sign of age. Carrots that have an excessive amount of new sprouts or leaves could have large or woody cores. Also avoid carrots with large green areas at or near their tops.

This indicates sunburn damage.

Before storing carrots, remove their green tops, rinse, drain and put the carrots in plastic bags. Store them in the coldest part of the refrigerator with the highest humidity, they’ll last several months this way. To keep the carrots crisp and colorful, add a little bit of water in the bottom of the plastic storage bag; this will keep the carrots hydrated. Carrots should be stored away from fruits such as apples, peaches and pears that release ethylene gas, which causes carrots to become bitter.

If carrots have become limp or dehydrated, cut off one of the ends and place the carrots, cut side down, in a bowl of ice water for about half an hour, to recrisp them. The coarse, inner core of older carrots should be removed.

This Herb Carrot and Mushroom Loaf is an unusual way to serve carrots. It’s a great side dish with roasted meats or fish, and makes a delicious main course for vegetarians.

HERB CARROT AND WILD MUSHROOM LOAF 1/4 cup butter, plus 3 tablespoons for buttering pan and topping loaf 1 cup chopped onions 2 cloves garlic, minced 4 1/2 cups grated carrots 2 cups sliced, wild mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, porcini or Portobello) 1/2 cup chopped celery 1 1/2 tablespoons Italian seasoning

3. Pour carrot mixture into a large bowl. Add eggs to the bowl, and 1 cup of breadcrumbs and 1/2 cup of the cheese. Reserve remainder of breadcrumbs and cheese to sprinkle on the top of loaf. Mix the ingredients until well combined.

4. Spread the 2 tablespoons of the butter on the bottom and sides of a 9 x 5 inch, oblong baking pan. Spread the carrot mixture into the pan. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and breadcrumbs. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil, dot with the remaining tablespoon of butter, and bake for 5 to 7 minutes until brown on top. Makes 4 to 6 servings.

New DVD Releases for Week of April 29, 2013 PICKS OF THE WEEK “Silver Linings Playbook” (R) -- Pat (Bradley Cooper) is a man with some complicated issues. He gets worked up over little things, he’s recently been released from a mental institution, he lives with his parents (Robert De Niro and Jacki Weaver), and he believes he will reunite with his estranged wife any day now. While trying to figure out life, he meets Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence), a similarly neurotic young woman. Thus

(c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

begins an unconventional and well-crafted love story.

Really. It’s dramatic and funny and romantic and not too trite in any way. We all know the two attractive basketcases will fall in love, but this movie handles it so well that you will actually care. Cooper’s performance shows he can do more than “The Hangover.” Lawrence won an Oscar for her performance, and De Niro owns his supporting role.

“The Guilt Trip” (PG-13) -- This road trip comedy doesn’t smash expectations, but doesn’t let down, either. Andy (Seth Rogen) is a young, single guy about to promote his new invention -- an eco-friendly cleaning product. Out of sheepish guilt, he invites his widowed mother, Joyce (Barbra Streisand), to join him -- in the hope that he can help her reconnect with an old flame, or just make her happy for a bit.

The comedy is more for the Streisand crowd than Rogen fans. Many of their exchanges

are improvised, and this pays off in onscreen chemistry. You can really see these two as mother and son -- in a goofy, Hollywood kinda way. The movie is short, mildly charming and offers some easy chuckles along the way.

“Broken City” (R) -- In a city in disrepair, a lone ex-cop (Mark Wahlberg) begins to untangle a web of intrigue and corruption that goes all the way up to the mayor (Russell Crowe). Normally, I give noir films a pass for convoluted plots and silly twists of fate that attack loose ends. “Broken City” gets no mercy. It’s boring. Even Wahlberg looks bored. The loose ends are just forgotten, and in the final act, it is revealed that many different characters were secret best friends the whole time. That’s just cheating.

“Not Fade Away” (R) -- David Chase, the director of TV’s “The Sopranos,” looks back at life in 1960s New Jersey. Douglas (John Magaro) is a teenager in the suburbs just getting tuned into the rock music. His

16

father, Pat (James Gandolfini), doesn’t quite get it. Pat never dared give real thought to leaving his hometown, and now his son has long hair, plays covers of British music and seems like he enjoys the idea of “endless possibilities.” While the story isn’t the most moving, the attention to detail will grab you. Everything fits, right down to the creative differences in Douglas’ garage band.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You might want to change your plans before they’re set in cement. Consider advice from colleagues. But remember that, ultimately, it’s your choice.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A difficult situation is working itself out. Lingering problems should be resolved by week’s end, allowing the Goat to enjoy a calmer, less stressful period.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Be careful not to move so quickly that you miss possible warning signs that could upset your plans. Slow down. Your supporters will continue to stand by you.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your generosity in sharing your time and wisdom with others leads to an intriguing development that could have you considering some interesting choices.

THE LAW ACCORDING TO STEVENS

by Lisa Welch Stevens, Attorney at Law P.C.

RISKS OF USING A SINGLE MEMBER LLC FOR YOUR BUSINESS OR INVESTMENT: A LEGALLY DISREGARDED ENTITY? © April, 2013 Lisa Welch Stevens, Attorney at Law P.C.

A

number of court cases in both the United States federal and individual state courts may have drastically reduced the liability protection offered by single member LLCs. This raises the specter of a business’ creditors being able to go after its owner’s personal assets, and of a person’s personal creditors being able to go after the business’ assets, in order to satisfy debts, judgments, etc. against the other. As an attorney, I would not advise any client to use a single-member LLC through which to operate a business, or in which to segregate assets such as real property investments, etc.

Usually, legally, a legal entity such as a limited liability company (LLC), a corporation, or any of the many and various forms of limited partnerships, is considered by the courts to be and is treated as a separate

Answers & Solutions

legal person, distinct from its owners. This has been true - for corporations, at least - for hundreds of years.

As a result of the entity being a separate, legal person, the owners of a business operated through the entity are protected from being personally liable for any debts of or judgments against the business. Likewise, if a parcel of real property is titled in the name of an entity, the owners of the entity are not liable if someone is hurt on the property, etc. This is why attorneys recommend that business owners operate their businesses through an entity – not as a sole proprietorship or a general partnership – and that real estate investors title their real property investments in the name of an entity, rather than in their personal names.

While there has always been a mechanism through the courts for “piercing the corporate veil” in certain circumstances, enabling creditors of a business or investment to go after an owner’s personal assets, or creditors of a natural person to go after the latter’s business assets, that mechanism was available only in certain very egregious fact situations, and only at great legal cost and time.

However, as a result of certain court decisions during the past 10 years or so, in Colorado as well as in other states single member LLCs may now simply be disregarded by the courts, at least in certain circumstances, as if they do not even exist in the first place, for purposes of attaching assets of the LLC or its owner.

For example, in the bankruptcy context the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado disregarded the fact that an individual debtor’s real property was titled in the name of her single member LLC, and permitted the bankruptcy

trustee to sell all of that LLC’s assets to pay off the individual debtor’s personal creditors. See, In re Ashley Albright, 291 B.R. 538 (Bankr. Colo. 2003). The LLC had not filed for bankruptcy; none of the creditors was a creditor of the LLC. None of the factors that would normally justify a traditional “piercing of the corporate veil” was present.

Normally, creditors of an owner of an LLC would only be able, under Colorado law, to get a court to issue a “charging order” against any distribution of profits actually made to that owner by the LLC, when and as they were actually distributed out. However the Court in Albright, interpreting and applying the Colorado state LLC statutes, ruled that in the case of an LLC with only a single member, that collection restriction is inapplicable. Albright at 540-541.

The Court reasoned that the charging order limitation was enacted by the Colorado state legislature solely to protect other innocent members of an LLC from credi-

tors of a liable member; where there are no other LLC members to protect, there is no “need” for that limitation, and all of the assets are available to satisfy the liable member’s personal creditors. Id. There was no need for the bankruptcy trustee – or the member’s personal creditors – to establish any grounds for a traditional piercing of the corporate veil of the LLC. The Court simply disregarded the existence of the single member LLC, and gave the trustee full authority to sell all of the LLC’s real property, and distribute the proceeds to the single member’s personal creditors.

Notably the Albright Court did not limit its ruling to the bankruptcy context. To date there apparently have been no published Colorado state court opinions addressing this issue; however, it is important to note that at least several other state’s courts have used the Albright case’s reasoning in permitting, under those state’s LLC statutes (substantively similar to Colorado’s), personal creditors of the owner of a single member LLC to obtain payment of the personal debts or judgments with the LLC’s assets, and vice-versa.

Other courts have also used the fact of a single-member LLC’s failure to elect tax treatment of the LLC other than the default “disregarded entity” against its owner, arguing that if the LLC is to be disregarded for tax purposes, where there are no other owners to protect, the LLC should be disregarded for liability purposes as well.

Given the Albright decision, I personally would not recommend the use of a singlemember LLC to my clients, if another arrangement is possible. For example, addition of even a single other member to the LLC should remove any concerns, so long as that other member has more than a mere “peppercorn” membership interest.

This additional member could be a spouse, child, etc. With respect to operating businesses (as opposed to passive real estate investment), a single-member corporation might provide greater liability protection.

As always, you should consult your own legal counsel as to the facts of your particular situation. This article is intended for general informational purposes, and is not intended to proffer legal advice.

LIVING GOD’S GIFTS bringing Christ into your financial life

INVESTING FROM A BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE

by Chuck Maher, CFP®

...BRING CHRIST INTO OUR FINANCIAL LIVES

5 INVESTMENT IDEAS

T

ax season has ended. By now your tax returns should’ve been completed and filed. And if you are like millions of American taxpayers you overpaid your taxes and are expecting a refund. Have you given thought to what you will do with it?

Many will be using those dollars to pay down debt, buy toys or add it to a mad money account. Some will even consider investing it. Here are my thoughts on how to put that refund to work.

Invest In Yourself Given that your ability to earn an income is your greatest financial asset I would suggest taking a course or classes that will strengthen your jobs skills. Or you may want to consider taking a class for personal enrichment. Maybe learn a new language or take that art class you’ve wanted to attend. Any class you take will give you a new perspective and as a bonus exercise your brain.

Invest In Your Home As homeowners we often let those little projects that need to be done pile up.

Now is the opportunity to invest in your home and get them done. With your refund you may be able to get that room painted or update your landscaping.

Improvements to your home not only can make it more livable for you but just might increase its value.

Invest In Your Kids If you haven’t done so, now is the time to set aside funds for your children’s or grandchildren’s college education.

By investing in a Coverdell IRA or a 529 plan you can take advantage of tax benefits that can help fund their college costs. It is estimated that those with a higher education degree will have

increased their earning power by 20%.

Invest In Your Future

Honoring God with Your Financial Blessings

By investing in an individual retirement account (IRA) you can not only provide additional dollars for your retirement but you can also, if you qualify, receive a tax deduction for 2013 and have tax deferred growth until you decide to withdrawal the funds. For 2013 the maximum IRA contribution limit for those over 50 is $6,500.

Invest In Your Community For those more philanthropic your tax refund could be used for the betterment of our community. Churches, schools, and local charities are always in need of additional funds. Giving to any of these worthy organizations comes with the satisfaction of knowing that you made a difference and that you are a part of something greater than yourself. There is also an additional benefit that comes with generous giving .By sharing your tax refund you can have that refund do double duty – doing good and an additional 2013 tax deduction.

Far too often our tax refunds are looked upon as found money and too quickly spent. With a little forethought you can put those dollars to work. I encourage you, before you cash that check, to look at how that money can make a difference. Who knows what can be had if you choose to invest.
