Fall is for wildflowers Most wildflower gardens are established by seed using a mixture of annual, biennial, and perennial plants adapted to this area. To give the garden the greatest opportunity of long-term success, fall is the best time to seed. A fall seeding allows the winter annuals (the plants that produce the early spring flowers), and many of the perennials a great opportunity to firmly establish their root systems so they will be ready to explode with growth next spring. Wildflowers tend to be tough plants and do not require much effort during establishment. Simply broadcast the seed over the area you wish to plant and rake it in. If we are not getting regular rains, an occasional irrigation might be helpful through the fall. The seeding rate will vary dramatically depending on the seed mix and how it’s packaged. For example, is the mix 100% seed or it is a combination of seed and other materials such as mulch and fertilizer? Check the label to be sure and adjust accordingly. Unless the area is known to be nutrient-poor, it’s best to not fertilize as too much fertilizer can give undesirable plants a competitive advantage over the
Home Grown KEITH REED wildflowers. There is a learning curve associated with wildflower gardens. For some of us, it’s just adjusting to the presence of weeds and the unkept look of the garden during certain times of the year. While a wildflower garden will never be weed-free, it can be helpful to learn to spot the wildflowers when small so you can regularly pull or hoe weeds before they become a big problem. Another adjustment is accepting that many of our common lawn weeds can in fact be very attractive wildflowers. If a pristine weed-free lawn is your aesthetic ideal, you’ll likely disagree with this statement of a garden full of henbit can be hard to beat for spring color. It will also be important to learn when to cut-back or mow your garden to take full advantage of a plant’s ability to reseed itself. You’ll also learn that some plants will be more aggressive than others and will likely need to be prevented
from going to seed to keep from taking over. All this may sound a little bit complicated. It is not. While wildflowers do require some occasional attention, these gardens are generally forgiving if you get behind in their care.
As long as you understand going in that they are NOT maintenance-free, you’ll be fine. If you would like to see what the establishment phase of a wildflower/pollinator garden looks like, stop by Our Daily Bread Food and Resource Center at 701 W. 12th in Stillwater.

How to get a mortgage when you are self-employed By Alex Penny RCB Banks
Do not assume that just because you are self-employed you can’t get a mortgage. While there are different requirements, you can still work with your lender to buy the home of your dreams.
First steps
Documentation
Remember to keep your business and personal finances separate. This will make it easier for the lender to evaluate your liabilities and examine your business profit and loss. If you have trouble getting a mortgage on your own, a co-borrower may improve your chances for approval. Do not be afraid to call and ask your mortgage lender questions about how to make the process easier. Even if you are not initially prepared to get a mortgage, they can talk you through the process and make suggestions as you prepare to buy. If you are self-em-

A good way to prepare for the mortgage application is to improve your credit score. Paying off consumer or credit card debt should be a top priority. Banks also like when people who are self-employed have cash reserves to pay the mortgage for six to 12 months.

Your banker may ask for proof of any debts or assets you own, your business taxes for the last two years, earnings statements, savings and retirement balances and profit and loss statements may be required when you apply. Many lenders may also want to see that you have been in business for two years or more and have a low debt-toincome ratio.
Safe and effective ways to clean up leaves
C4
Stillwater NewsPress • Thursday, September 3, 2020
Removing leaves from the yard is a task that homeowners must perform each fall. Thousands upon thousands of leaves can drop from a single tree. Multiply that by the number of trees on a property, and it’s no surprise the task of leaf cleanup can seem so daunting. Furthermore, not all leaves are shed at the same time, so several cleanup sessions may be necessary before the
last leaf is banished from the yard. Just like removing snow, leaf cleanup can be a taxing job if done by hand. For people unaccustomed to exercise, cleaning up leaves can turn into quite a workout. According to the Discovery Health Calorie Counter, raking leaves for one hour can burn nearly 292 calories. Shoulders and arms will feel the burn. Raking leaves is
considered moderate physical activity, similar to brisk walking. Those who find themselves straining or out of breath should take a break, and these tips also make the job safer and easier. • Wear layers when cleaning up leaves. It may be cool at first, but it’s easy to work up a sweat after raking for awhile. Layers can be peeled off so as not to get overheated or risk
hypothermia from sweating in chilly temps. • Pay attention to your posture while raking. James Weinstein, chairman of the Department of Orthopedics at Dartmouth Medical School, recommends forming a wide base with the feet and holding the rake slightly toward the end of the handle with one hand three-quarters of the way down the handle from the other. Do not
twist the spine; move your entire body. Avoid overuse of muscles on one side of the body by switching sides periodically. • Do not try to rake or blow leaves on windy days. Wind will only make the task that much more difficult, which could lead to overworking oneself. • Avoid overfilling bags. For those who plan to mulch and bag leaves, remember that
compressed leaves can get heavy pretty quickly. Do not over-fill bags, as they can be hard to move or bring to a recycling center. Using a leaf blower to push leaves into piles will reduce the strenuousness of the task, but leaf blowers can be heavy and noisy
and gas-powered blowers can produce a considerable amount of exhaust. Raking leaves can be quite a chore. It is important that homeowners take steps to prevent injury while cleaning up leaves in their yards. – Metro Creative

I am also sorry that I did not reiterate my long-standing advice that the mere presence of a backyard pool -whether it’s above ground or built into the ground -- is an “automatic turn-off” for some buyers. Many buyers worry that a pool poses a risk to their young children or to others who cannot swim. Others just don’t want to deal with the time and money that owning their own private swimming hole would cost. Most of these

Most banks offer a variety of programs to borrowers who are having trouble making their mortgage payments, especially in these pandemic times. DEAR DAVE: I am barely able to make my mortgage payments now because my income dropped after my employer cut my work hours a few months ago as COVID-19 continued to spread. I have heard that it’s a good idea to miss a mortgage payment or two because falling behind on my loan will make my lender more willing to cut my interest rate or provide some other type of mortgage help. Is this true? ANSWER: No, it’s not true. Contact your lender or the company that services your loan immediately to discuss your financial difficulties and see what options are available. Some special mortgage-relief programs are available to people like you, who can show that their drop in income or outright loss of their job was directly due to the COVID-19 virus.

Confusion over eviction ban, enforcement
C6
Stillwater NewsPress • Thursday, September 3, 2020
The Howard Center for Investigative Journalism
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) – Yochebed Israel was the kind of person Congress had in mind when it voted in March to impose a temporary moratorium on many evictions as the coronavirus spread. First, the furnace in her Tampa, Florida, apartment broke and her electric bill rose above $460 a month for five months. She fell behind on rent, forced to choose between keeping the lights on or paying the landlord. Then she contracted COVID-19 in April, she said, missing two months of work without full sick pay as a certified nursing assistant at a long-term care center. And then, in May, she came home to find an eviction order attached to her door. “It makes me feel the anxiety of being homeless,” she said. The federal CARES Act, enacted March 27, was supposed to protect Israel and people in up to 20 million other rental households from just that fate. It barred landlords whose properties got federal benefits from filing to evict tenants for 120 days. But a two-month investigation by the Howard Center for Investigative Journalism at the University of Maryland found that cracks in the federal law appeared
immediately. Confusion about the moratorium’s language, which played out in conflicting guidance from federal agencies and the courts, led to selective enforcement. Landlords were expected to determine for themselves if their property was covered by the law. And renters had virtually no legal help to fight back if wrongfully evicted. Israel’s property manager, Tzadik Management, said through a spokesperson it didn’t know the property in Hillsborough County, Florida, was secured by a federal loan. Court records show Tzadik has since asked to dismiss all 24 evictions identified by the Howard Center, including Israel’s, that it filed during the federal moratorium. The Howard Center focused on eviction filings in 10 counties that are home to Memphis, Tennessee; Tulsa and
Oklahoma City in Oklahoma; Atlanta and Savannah in Georgia; Tampa and St. Petersburg in Florida; New Orleans and Milwaukee — all areas hit hard by the coronavirus. Prior to the pandemic, at least 20% of renters in those counties spent half or more of their income on rent and all had eviction filing rates well above the U.S. average. The eviction moratorium expired July 24, and the Senate left Washington three weeks later without an agreement with the House to extend it. The Trump administration said late Tuesday it would halt evictions for most renters through the end of the year to stop the spread of the coronavirus. The moratorium does not include money to help tenants in arrears but does include criminal penalties for landlords. It takes effect Friday, according to a draft in the
Federal Register. Emily Benfer, a law professor at Wake Forest University and chair of the American Bar Association’s COVID19 Task Force Committee on Eviction, praised the administration’s action as a “tremendous intervention that promises to protect the health and safety of millions of renters.” But she also warned in an email Tuesday night that it is only a “half measure.” “Without rental assistance to cover the mounting debt, it only delays eviction and its devastating consequences,” she wrote. The CARES Act eviction moratorium only covered rentals with mortgages backed by federal programs such as the Federal Housing Administration, the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Federal National Mortgage Association, also known as Fannie Mae; properties that received Low-Income

Housing Tax Credits, and people who got federal housing assistance, such as vouchers, to help pay the rent. CONFUSION Eric Dunn, director of litigation for the National Housing Law Project, said Congress should have passed a blanket moratorium in the spring covering all evictions “for any reason.” “What we got was a moratorium for nonpayment of rent from some housing, which is complicated and difficult to figure out,” he said. Landlords and property managers in four of the 10 counties examined by the Howard Center filed at least 101 evictions that violated the federal moratorium, a review of court and other public records found. The total is conservative because court data in some counties lacked key details needed to confirm CARES Act violations. Courts or plaintiffs
have since moved to dismiss all of them. The federal moratorium placed the burden on landlords not to evict tenants in covered properties. In an effort to reinforce that, high courts in Georgia, Oklahoma and Tennessee ordered landlords to sign affidavits saying their property was not covered by the federal law. But even in those states, the Howard Center found wrongful evictions. Confusion also existed around federal housing subsidies, such as Section 8 vouchers. The CARES Act said if a landlord accepted subsidies for even one tenant in a property, it could not evict the rest of the tenants living there. But a Department of Housing and Urban Development FAQ said the agency “does not have the authority to extend jurisdiction over unassisted tenants.” Michael Scaljon is general counsel for

Ventron Management, which operates rental properties in Florida and Georgia. He said the company interprets the CARES Act to protect the tenants receiving Section 8 assistance but not their neighbors, and has filed evictions accordingly. A Nebraska district court reached a different conclusion. In a June ruling, the court rejected the HUD guidance, saying the CARES Act language was “clear and unambiguous” that if one household receives federal assistance then all tenants in the property are protected from eviction. In Florida, meanwhile, two neighboring county clerks differed in their interpretations of the Florida Supreme Court’s order to suspend the issuance of all eviction notices, called writs of possession. The Pinellas County clerk stopped issuing the writs, but neighboring Hillsborough County did not.
