The ups and downs of October weather We are closing in on the 1st of November, the average date for our first freeze. As this article was going to the paper, the forecasters are still not reporting any signs of a freeze. If this forecast holds, or if we see a drastic change, we all know it can happen on short notice this time of year. Here are a few comments about the big swings in our fall weather, how those swings can affect our landscape plants, and what (if anything) we can do to minimize problems associated with those swings. A late first freeze preceded by unseasonably warm temperatures. As of right now, this is our most likely scenario for this year. The biggest problem with this is the later into the fall we go without a freeze, the larger the temperature differential is likely to be. In other words, a big shock to the plants when it happens. Perennial plants well adapted to Oklahoma can han-
Home Grown KEITH REED dle this shock without too much trouble but the transition is easier when our first freeze or two is light. This helps the plants ease their transition into dormancy which in turn prepares them for a productive spring. This was the likely cause for very slow crape myrtle greenup many of you remember in the spring of 2015. If we continue to get hot and windy weather, it will be important to prevent plants from drying out. Even though they aren’t using as much water as they did in the middle of summer, they still need adequate moisture as they work to store energy reserves for the winter and next spring. A solid freeze followed by an extended warm pe-
riod. This is one of those scenarios you can only see when looking back at it. In general terms, it is really not helpful to try to prevent most plants from a freeze, it’s best to just let nature take its course. The exception would be if you have a fall garden and want to try to protect it from cold to keep it producing just a bit longer. This is certainly worth a try, and some people do this quite successfully. If you do cover a crop, just be sure to remove the protection as soon as the temperatures get above freezing the following day as a cover can quickly become a cooker on a sunny day. Drought. It’s easy to forget that a lack of moisture can be a problem for plants in the winter time, but it can.

Right now, most of us are getting just enough moisture to keep plants from becoming stressed. If the fall rains don’t come, keep an eye on soil moisture and irrigate when needed, especially new plantings. Also give a little extra water to evergreen
plants, especially if they are exposed to harsh winds. Windy and wet. This is a good scenario for almost all landscape plants with one exception; those smothered by layers of wet leaves. This is often the cause of dead spots in tall fescue lawns.
The wet leaves prevent air and light from getting to the turf. It isn’t necessary to remove all the leaves, but it is a good idea to rake them around from time to time. For more information on this or any other horticultural topic, you can con-

Tips for using beautiful brown in your space By Cathy Hobbs Tribune News Service
Much admired for the warmth and coziness it brings to a space, brown remains one of the most versatile colors to use in a color scheme. Softer and not as harsh as black, brown can serve as a foundation color from which other colors can be paired without competing. Here are my top 10 Design Recipes tips. 1. Don’t be afraid to pair brown
with pale colors. Brown is a wonderful complement to colors such as powder pink, soft blue and even lavender. 2. Consider using different shades of brown in your space. A combination of light, medium and darker brown can make a luxurious statement. 3. Pair brown with pure white. The contrast can make a bold color palette. 4. Use wood pieces as a way to infuse brown into your space. 5. Look for interesting and creative ways to introduce brown into your

How to fight harassing calls from a lender The federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau can help resolve problems between borrowers and their mortgage lenders or other creditors. Its services are free. DEAR MR. MYERS: I am being harassed by my mortgage lender. Although my payment is due on the first day of each month, my loan documents clearly state that I have a 15-day “grace period” before a late penalty can be charged. Nonetheless, if I don’t pay on the first of each month, people from the bank constantly call every day and (usually rudely) demand that payment be made immediately, even though the 15th hasn’t arrived. I have explained the problem to several people at the bank, but the calls keep coming. What can I do? ANSWER: Your best bet would be to file a complaint against the lender with the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Do so by visiting the agency’s website, www .consumerfinance. gov, or by calling it toll-free at 855-4112372. There is no charge for its help. The CFPB will then forward your complaint to the
About Real Estate DAVID MYERS bank and demand that it responds to you and the agency within 15 days. All but the most complicated disputes are resolved within 60 days, the bureau says. Now, here’s a really cool thing: If you consent, the bureau also will publish your complaint on its website for the entire world to see. Your private information (including your name and account number) will be redacted, but the name of the company always will appear. Most lenders, credit-reporting bureaus, collection agencies and other financially related companies hate this feature because they don’t want their “dirty laundry” to be shared with the public.

ers and consumer-protection groups love it. *** DEAR MR. MYERS: I want to sell my home, but am thinking of marketing the property myself in order to avoid paying a professional sales agent a 5- or 6-percent commission. If I sell the home
myself, would I be legally obligated to disclose any of its problems to a buyer even though I don’t have a real estate license? ANSWER: Yes, you would have to disclose any home defects that you know about - or should have known about - even if you don’t hire a licensed pro to do the marketing job for you. All sellers must follow their state’s disclosure laws, regardless of whether an agent is involved. Any smart buyer who wants to purchase your prop-
erty will make the offer contingent on first obtaining a satisfactory report from a professional home-inspector. So, any defects that you fail to disclose likely will be discovered anyway. Even if the inspector misses a problem, big or small, you still could be sued by the buyer if you didn’t disclose it. It’s also worth noting that inspection firms and their lawyers
have a good track record when it comes to laying any financial liability resulting from a buyer’s successful failure-to-disclose lawsuit on the shoulders of the seller rather than the inspector. Selling a home is a complicated process, filled with lots of marketing and legal issues. That’s why I always suggest that sellers hire a licensed real estate agent or
broker unless they have plenty of experience in buying and selling homes. Nobody wants to pay an agent thousands of dollars to sell their house. But it’s money well spent if the agent’s marketing expertise fetches a higher price than the seller could get by doing it alone, deals with all the headaches that the transaction may involve, or helps to avoid a lawsuit after the deal closes.

If your house is already valued near the highest priced homes in the area, investing in expensive home improvements may not yield a suitable return on your investment.

rate may lower the monthly interest cost, but not necessarily the overall cost of your mortgage. For instance, if the refinanced loan amount is greater than a certain percentage of the value, you might be required to pay mortgage insurance. Also, a refinance comes with new closing costs and may extend the length of your loan. Understanding your value before starting the refinance process could help prevent you from starting a process that won’t be as beneficial as you first thought. Home improvements If you’re thinking

Whenever I am on my (fairly constant) shopping expeditions through country flea markets, antique and slightly used shops, and demolition sites, I let my imagination take over. It’s not just old pieces of furniture I’m scouting, although I do take great satisfaction from transforming salvaged benches, tables and beds. Anything from lamps to carpets, washstands, ceramic pots or jewelry might catch my eye. They are all grist for the decorating mill. And then there are glorious fabrics – antique linens and laces, velvet gowns, satin sashes, quilts, old draperies and scrap bags. Their colors and textures, aged but still soft and beautiful, beg to be taken home and turned into something new. Cassandra Ellis’ beautiful book “Home Sewn,” published by Clarkson Potter, demonstrates how to turn linens and leathers and other bought or found fabrics into treasures that will make your home come alive with warmth and history. It’s a history that you may start, or continue to pass along. From heirloom quilts and stylish curtains

lender. This will show the seller that you mean business and can usually persuade the seller to consider a lower price. It is important to keep in mind that the seller may want a quicker turnaround during these months, but don’t feel pressured to act immediately. Negotiate. Sellers this time of year usually have to sell, whether it is for work or family. This means buyers have more room to negotiate the price. Don’t be shy about haggling; sellers may be willing to throw in extra money for needed repairs.
Mother is 95 years old; where should retirement go? Dear Dave, My mom is 95 years old, and she’s in amazing health. Financially speaking, she has about $150,000 in Certificates of Deposit, money market accounts, and savings bonds. Is there a better place she can invest her money? Anonymous Dear Anonymous, Certainly there are other investment vehicles that will make much more money than CDs, money markets and savings bonds. However, at your mom’s age people aren’t generally investing for the long haul, unless they’re investing it for their heirs. If she’s comfortable with her finances, I’d suggest just leaving things alone. Don’t try to force her into
Dave Says DAVE RAMSEY something new. At her age she may still have bad memories of the Great Depression and a negative perception of the stock market. In a case like that, mutual funds might make her fearful. I wouldn’t take the chance of robbing a 95-yearold lady of her peace to try and do the “proper” thing with money. However, if she’s agreeable to the idea of doing a little better with her money, you could start by moving
a little into growth stock or balanced stock mutual funds. But do something like this only if the change won’t upset her and leave her fretting over her money. What we want for your mom is financial peace. — Dave
How much is too much for wedding? Dear Dave, In your opinion, what is the limit you can responsibly spend for a wedding if the people involved have debt? Paul Dear Paul, The cost of the average wedding in America rose to $32,641 last year. But when it comes to what you can reasonably afford, I think it
becomes relative to exactly how much debt you have and what kind of income we’re talking about. If you have $5,000 in debt but you make $150,000 a year, stop worrying, pay off your debt, and save up for a great wedding. If you make $28,000 a year but you have $30,000 in debt, then you need to have a really minimal wedding. Anywhere from $3,000 to $5,000 would be reasonable in that kind of situation – and even then it’s going to be tight. The more debt you have in relation to your income, the smaller your wedding expenses should be. A $32,000 wedding would be ridiculous for someone with a $28,000 income. But $28,000 is a below-average income, so you shouldn’t reasonably expect an av-
How to pick the perfect lighting By Cathy Hobbs

Stillwater NewsPress • Friday, October 21, 2016
Tribune News Service
Lighting may be one of the most important selections you can make when designing and decorating your home. While adequate lighting truly helps brighten a space and make it more appealing, choosing a signature piece or thoughtful selections that enhance your decor can transform an otherwise dull space into one that stands out. CEILING LIGHTING Overhead lighting comes in different types. Pendant, flush mount or semi-flush
mount are just a few of the popular options. Which one you select may be dictated by your space. Pendant lighting – those that hang – typically works best in an entry area or over a dining table or kitchen island. When hanging, be sure to hang high enough so a desired view is not obstructed, as well as ensuring it does not rest too low. Pendant fixtures possibly lend themselves best to making a bold statement in the home. Consider purchasing a signature pendant that will stand out and make a grand statement in your entry or dining space.
Flush mount lights are those in which the fixture is flush with the ceiling surface. Flush mount fixtures are ideal for those spaces in which you may have a low ceiling or which to have lighting that is perhaps minimal or understated. A semi-flush fixture is a popular choice in entryways or hallways where the desired effect is one in which you may want to make a design statement but don’t have the height needed for a hanging fixture. Semi-flush fixtures are those that suspend away from the ceiling surface with a short, limited extension.
erage wedding in terms of cost. It really all boils down to ratios. Just remember, Paul, the amount of money spent on the ceremony, reception and all that stuff isn’t what’s important.

Unexpected doctor bill causes financial headache
Three household items that expire sooner than you think
DEAR BRUCE: I went to a medical doctor and after his staff verified my Medicare and Blue Cross and Blue Shield health insurance, he treated me. After the appointment, which cost several hundred dollars, his office staff informed me he did not accept either Medicare or Blue Cross, and I would have to pay the bill or his staff would send it to collection. I could have easily gone to another doctor if his staff had informed me they didn’t take my insurance. I can’t pay the bill, as I have limited income. What would you do? – Reader DEAR READER: I think you did everything correctly by having the office verify your insurance before going to your appointment. Even after all that, you still have an obligation, but paying cash is nonsense. I would insist that you deal directly with the doctor, not his staff, and negotiate the bill. You might be able to work out a deal,
Milk, cheese and other fridge-dwelling food items are stamped with expiration dates that, should you choose to ignore them, will make themselves known via smell. But your house is actually peppered with items that require regular replenishment – many of which are outside of the kitchen. Thanks to this handy info from Brightside, we’re now aware of the many surprising household items that require a monthly or yearly upgrade. From knickknacks on your

dresser to the staples in your pantry, your house is chock-full of items that can go bad. Here are a few of the most surprising: HYDROGEN PEROXIDE Expires in: 2 months Why: Hydrogen peroxide, the versatile topical antiseptic used to prevent infection in cuts, scrapes, and minor burns, actually turns into water just two months after opening. An unopened bottle should be thrown out after one year. KITCHEN SPICES Expires in: 1-3 years Why: Household
kitchen spices, like cinnamon, cumin and basil, reportedly begin losing their luster after just one year – both in terms of taste and smell. Brightside also claims that ground spices should be thrown out after just six months. MOSQUITO REPELLENTS Expires in: 3 years Why: Mosquito repellents are essentially useless after just two years, according to Brightside. You can usually tell if a bug repellent has expired by the smell – if one spray doesn’t emit the pungent odor you’ve grown used to, it’s time to throw it out.

paying a few dollars a month, which would be the way to go. You’re also owed an apology. ** ** ** DEAR BRUCE: I haven’t paid my federal taxes in quite some time. I kind of got mad at the way our government has wasted time and money. After checking the 16th Amendment, which Pennsylvania opted out of ratifying, it doesn’t say anywhere that we are bound to pay taxes on income. My question is, can any of this hold up in court, or do I threaten them with letting all taxpayers know about the loophole and let our government go broke, so they won’t be able to prosecute anybody? – L.W. DEAR L.W.: You may have all kinds of arguments with our government and try to rebel, but
you get paid up, or at least get your returns in so that the amount you owe is established. You may or may not be able to negotiate a portion of this, depending on your income. Don’t let it go on any longer. ** ** ** Send questions to bruce@brucewilliams.com. Questions of general interest will be answered in future columns.

It’s also a different way to make your space feel casual and offbeat, not overdone. • Place an original piece of artwork above the credenza or on top of it to
add color and an offbeat element to your display. • Handmade planters in varying materials like concrete bring texture and differing surface elements to the table. They can be varying heights, but small is preferred so you can pepper in pops of greenery where needed without saturating the space with color. • A little history goes a long way when styling a credenza.

Geodes, petrified wood, rocks with small fossils or clusters of pyrite sit comfortably with more polished decorative items. • Unique modern lighting with sculptural detailing adds visual interest and a warm glow to any vignette.
