(StatePoint) For many people, buying or leasing a car is their first “big ticket” item.

Having a plan for how this new vehicle will fit into your budget can help you be confident about your decision and keep your finances in check.

•Do your research. Sure, you’ll want to research what kind of car and options you want, but also do your financial research.

Use free online tools like payment calculators or vehicle valuation guides to help you prepare.

•Evaluate your wants and needs. You may want the car with all the bells and whistles, but if it doesn’t fit into your budget, it’s not a wise purchase. Decide what you need versus what would be nice to have, and stick to that when negotiating.

•Create a doable budget. Whether you buy or lease, you’ll likely have a fixed amount to pay monthly for your new car. But that’s not the only cost to consider. Remember to factor in gas, insurance and any additional costs like maintenance or emergencies.

A general guideline is to keep those total costs below 20 percent of your monthly take-home pay.

•Know your credit profile. If you are planning to finance a vehicle, your credit score can affect whether you are approved for financing, as well as the rate you will receive.

•Understand your options. There are a few different options when buying or leasing a vehicle, such as paying cash, getting a loan from a bank or credit union, or negotiating a retail contract or lease through a dealership. If you finance your vehicle, the length of the finance contract can impact the total amount you pay. The longer you take to pay, the lower your monthly payments will be, but your total cost to finance rises. Visit different dealerships to learn your options. It’s up to you to decide the best arrangement for your personal financial situation.

•Stick with your plan. If you plan to set aside a certain amount regularly for your monthly payment -- do it! It’s easier to get ahead and build a savings plan instead of playing catch-up.

If you’re considering buying or leasing a car, brush up on your finances first, so you’ll be better prepared to walk into the dealership.

Get out & grow!

by Kristina Gabalski

For autumn color and blooms, think mums!

was particularly late getting my mum in the ground and the plant was half-dead due to the small size of the container and the fact I had not been good about keeping in watered. I decided to put it in the ground anyway and it has done well. I’m anxious to see if it makes it to next spring.

Experts say to remove spent blooms, but keep the stems on the plant over the winter. Mulching around the plant is also a good idea. Sometimes my Easter mums bloom again the same year in the fall and then survive for two-to-three years, blooming again each fall.

Considering the challenges of getting fall mums to survive our winters, it’s probably best to enjoy them as annuals. They look beautiful in the garden or displayed with pumpkins and gourds. Fall mums brighten and refresh fall containers, too.

Remember that mums will tolerate some light frost, but heavy frost will damage opened flowers. Unopened flowers may be OK and open normally after a frost.

On another note - if you are looking to expand your gardening knowledge, the Orleans County Master Gardeners’ Fall Education Series is now underway.

The next class is set for Monday, Oct. 19 at 6 pm. Bring the whole family for ‘Basic Tree Identification‘ with Master Gardener Alex Greene. The program will be held in the Harrington Classroom on the Orleans County 4-H Fairgrounds,12690 Rt. 31 in Albion.

The whole family is invited to enjoy a walk through the Extension grounds followed by a more in-depth discussion of basic tree identification techniques. Children’s activities will be provided during the discussion. The cost is $5, kids under 12 are free.

Register for the program by October 12. Call 585-7984265 x26 for more information or to register.

by Kristina Gabalski Fall mums are a favorite in our area for autumn color and blooms in the garden. They have a very long bloom time, come in an array of colors, and are a great way to perk-up late season plantings.

If you’ve noticed that the fall mums you purchase from local stores and garden centers don’t seem to be as hardy as they used to be, you’re right.

When I was in my 20s, I planted fall mums in my garden and they came back and bloomed year after year. I still continue to notice gardens with mums that come back and bloom season after season, but the mums I purchase now and plant, usually don’t come back, even if I get them in the ground in early September.

According to Buffalo-NiagaraGardening.com, most of the varieties of mums for sale in our area are not perennials.

That’s because hardiness has been bred out of mums in favor of flower size, flower color and plant shape.

Additionally, if you want to try to pull them through the winter, mums need to be planted in your garden in August - that’s typically a little earlier than most people usually purchase their fall mums. If mums are planted in September or later, it’s already too late, because they will not have enough time to root and will heave up out of the ground in winter weather.

Buffalo-NiagaraGardening.com noted one variety called ‘Mammoth’ - which is a perennial fall mum you might be able to find at garden centers. The bloom is more daisy-like, however, not rounded, like most gardeners prefer.

I have tried with some success at planting Easter mums and getting them to survive over the winter. I cut them back after they bloom in the early spring and plant them in my garden after all danger of frost is past. This year, I

The intense colors of fall mums add to any autumn landscape or garden. These are on display at Kirby’s Farm Market in Brockport.

Building literacy, one little library at a time Little Free Libraries springing up locally and globally

A new Little Free Library just sprung up in Hilton at 193 Lake Avenue.

The concept of a Little Free Library is to take a book and leave a book. G. Griffee photo.

by Grace Griffee They look like fancy little mailboxes on people’s front lawns, but they’re not filled with mail. They’re filled with books that are free for the taking. Little Free Libraries started springing up in 2009 after Todd Bol of Hudson, Wisconsin built a model of a one room schoolhouse as a tribute to his mother, a former school teacher who loved reading. He filled it with books and put it on a post in his front yard – and his neighbors and friends loved it. Bol built several more and gave them away, each one with a sign that read “Free Books.” Now, there are over 32,000 registered Little Free Library book exchanges in all 50 U.S. states and over 70 countries around the world.

Locally, a new Little Free Library just sprung up in Hilton at 193 Lake Ave. Michelle Frechette Ames, owner of Marketed by Michelle, said she first heard about Little Free Libraries on Facebook several years ago. “I’ve had the idea in the back of my mind for a while,” she said. “I recently worked on a client’s website and we bartered with him to build me one in return.”

The concept of a Little Free Library is to take a book and leave a book. “It’s not a traditional library where you have to sign out the book and return it by a specific time,” said Ames. “What I love about them is that people who love to read can get a book whenever they want and that it’s a way

for individuals to promote literacy.”

Ames, a member of the Hilton Board of Education and an avid reader herself, also sees her library as a convenient place for her to share the books she’s read. The first book she shared in her Little Free Library was Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. “My goal is to offer mostly fiction and I would ask that people not put textbooks in there, although a few ‘how to’ books would be okay,” she said.

In Canton, NY, an eighth grade class teamed up with the Canton Rotary Club and a Girl Scout Troop to install 12 Little Free Libraries around the town. In Rochester’s western suburbs, there are Little Free Libraries at 39 Cherry Dr. in Brockport and 281 Pinebrook Dr. in Greece.

“It’s something that you put in your yard, but it becomes a community project,” said Ames.

Ames, along with Angela Boccuzzi-Reichert, Merton Williams Middle School librarian, will be offering a Little Free Library class through Hilton Central School District’s Community Education in the spring.

To find other Little Free Libraries and to learn more about them, visit littlefreelibrary.org. The site also offers plans for building your own and ones that can be purchased ready-made. Registering a Little Free Library on the site is about $40 and includes tips for a successful library and an official plaque.
