Buying an alarm system? Protect yourself from being ripped off Summer is a time for fun in the sun, vacationing and outdoor adventures. Unfortunately, it is also a busy time for burglars. Investing in an alarm system may be a necessary purchase for some homeowners. The Better Business Bureau serving Chicago and Northern Illinois (BBB) is advising homeowners, who are looking to install a home security system, to do research first. It is not uncommon for unethical salesmen to go door-to-door with high pressure sales tactics, making homeowners act quickly. They will go over the big details of their system and rush through the process to make a sale. Unfortunately, the sense of urgency these salesmen give to their customers can lead to a lot of trouble later on if the proper research is not done. “A home security system is a major purchase, and it is important that you research thoroughly before making any decisions,” said Steve J. Bernas, president/CEO of the Better Business Bureau serving Chicago and Northern Illinois. “There are many door-to-door salesmen that may not have your wants, needs and safety as high on their list of priorities.” The BBB advises consumers to do the following when looking to invest in a home security system: • Choose a professional installer. Deal only with reputable firms and check out the company’s Business Review with your BBB first at www.bbb. org You may also get a recommendation from the insurance company that covers your home. Carefully consider your security requirements. The best home security system will accommodate your lifestyle and the specific valuables you want protected. Review the sales contract closely to ensure you understand exactly what equipment

and protection you will be provided and that it fulfills your wants and needs best. Contact at least three companies before selecting an installer. Research multiple companies and find out if they are properly licensed in Illinois and if they screen employees before hiring. • Ask about all charges up front. Prices for home security systems will vary greatly, based on the level of protection and type of technology used, so be sure to know your budget and compare bids on similar systems. Do not forget to factor in the initial installation charge, as well as monthly monitoring charges. Talk to your insurance agent; some systems may qualify you for a discount on homeowner’s premiums. Ask for a complete inspection of your property and an itemized written estimate. Know the ins and outs of your contract. If your alarm system will be monitored, either by your installing company or by a third-party monitoring center, find out the length of the contract. Typically, monitoring contracts are between two to five years in length. Some questions to ask before you obligate yourself to a long term contract: 1. What is your recourse if you are not satisfied with the services provided? 2. Can you cancel the contract? 3. What are your rights if your monitoring company is purchased or acquired by another alarm company? • Insist the installer “walks” you through your system until you fully understand how it works. This will prevent the most common problem: False alarms. False alarms are an indicator of the quality of the alarm installation and user education. Make sure that you are aware of how your system works and that all of you questions are answered. For more information on finding businesses and consumer tips, visit www.bbb.org.

Planning for a dream retirement Financial engineer shares four secrets everyone should know It’s no wonder baby boomers worry about outliving their retirement savings. One out of four 65 year olds today can expect to live past 90, and if they’re married, one of every four will live even longer. With 10,000 boomers turning 65 every day, it’s a big worry for 26 percent of the U.S. population. “The biggest concern for boomers is living too long, or getting sick, and running out of money,” says Rao K. Garuda, an engineerturned-independent financial planning advisor specializing in work with seniors, high net worth business owners and professionals. “The average 65 year old retires today with $500,000 to $1 million in assets, and while that might sound like a lot to a 20 year old, it isn’t,” Garuda says. Even if you plan to continue some kind of work post-retirement – as many people do whether

because they must or because they enjoy it – it’s imperative to plan ahead for the day you can’t work, he says. “Equally important, people deserve the freedom to make choices about how they’ll spend their last 20 or 30 years, especially if they’ve spent 45 years going to work every day. That’s part of the American dream,” Garuda says. “And you don’t have to earn a fortune to save a fortune!” Garuda shares four things everyone should know about preparing for retirement: • Save first, then spend. Most people spend first, then try to save what’s left, Garuda said. The secret is to make saving first your priority. “The people who save first will always be the people who are employing everyone else!” he says. • Take advantage of tax-free savings. Taxes are the biggest expense anyone has. Besides federal, state, city and death taxes there are 59 other different ways your money is taxed, Garuda said. “If you save $1, Uncle Sam will help you by waiting for his cut of that $1. With planning, you can put him on hold for about two generations,” he added. With tax-free compounding, a

relatively small amount of money saved can yield huge returns years from now. • Decide how you’ll manage risk. There is risk in everything, and Garuda warns that those who simply choose to ignore it do so at their own peril. Others choose to “go broke safely” – they avoid risk to such an extent, they lose money. A good example is people putting all their savings in CDs that pay just 1 percent; since that’s lower than the rate of inflation, they’re losing money. In some cases, people transfer risk to someone else, for instance, when they buy homeowners insurance. Finally, they choose to manage their risk emotionally, psychologically and technically through asset allocation rebalancing and other tools that allow you the amount of risk you’re willing to assume while still providing opportunities for growth. • Create tax-free income. “My favorite question to ask people is, ‘What have you done to create tax-free income?’” Garuda said. There are many ways to do this – Roth IRAs, life insurance, taxfree bonds, annuities — but most involve working with a knowledgeable financial planner.

Louis Ledford kicks off Princeton Coffeehouse season Aug. 24 PRINCETON — Singer, songwriter Louis Ledford opens the Princeton Coffeehouse 2013-14 season at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Open Prairie, UCC. Ledford first received notice as part of the band, Used Carlotta, which emerged as part of the MidAtlantic roots movement in the late ‘90s. When “Reverie,” his debut solo album, was released in 2004, his career as a solo performer was established. While Ledford’s music continues to be inspired by his Virginia upbringing and the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina, Ledford has lived for the last few years in Bellingham, Washington. Louis Ledford’s forthright, Southern tales match the songwriting craftsman-

Louis Ledford ship of Kris Kristofferson with the rolling piedmont fingerpicking style exemplified by Etta Baker,” according to Andrew Calhoun of Waterbug Records. Sponsors of the Louis Ledford show are Roger and Linda Gustafson. The Princeton Coffeehouse offers a full season of traditional and modern folk, blues and bluegrass music. Season subscrip-

tions are available for $90 (nine concerts between August and May). Subscriptions may be purchased at the first or second concert or by sending a check to the Princeton Coffeehouse, c/o Paul Kautz, 922 South Euclid, Princeton, IL 61356. A single show admission is $12 at the door. The Princeton Coffeehouse is located at the Open Prairie UCC Church, 25 E. Marion St. in downtown Princeton.

Trudy went in for a routine pap test in late December 2012 and the test came back irregular. A carcinoma the size of a grain of salt was found on the test. Doctors knew something was not correct and recommended that she have a complete hysterectomy. During the procedure, doctors were surprised at what they found. Trudy had a very rare type of cancer, Peritoneal Psammoma Carcinoma, that had webbed almost all of her internal organs together. There are only 29 known cases of this type of cancer in the world. The cancer had also spread to her ovaries and she was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. Doctors have been treating her very aggressively with chemotherapy and now she awaits exploratory

Trudy Barrowman-Palm surgery to find out if the treatment has worked. Trudy is a life-long resident of Spring Valley and has been a licensed cosmetologist for the past 27 years. She owned and operated Vogue Creations in Spring Valley for 26 years and also was a hair stylist at Liberty Village for many years. She could be seen at Illi-

nois Valley Community Hospital as an EKG tech and in her spare time she enjoyed working as a jewelry consultant at Zales in the Peru Mall.

Home decorating

Six tips to liven up your laundry room (BPT) — With the average American family doing more than 400 loads of laundry each year, it’s no wonder that the laundry room has become one of the most popular remodeling projects in the house. Often out of sight and out of mind, most laundry rooms are designed like closets rather than efficient utility rooms. But according to Decorator Jenny Komenda, who blogs at The Little Green Notebook, with just a few inexpensive changes, you can brighten your clothes and your mood by transforming your dark and dingy laundry room into a bright, functional (and even enjoyable) place. Check out these tips on how to create more efficient and enjoyable laundry rooms: • Dealing with a dark, cave-like laundry room is a chore in and of itself.

By taking off the doors on a few of your upper cabinets, you’ll open up the space and create a place to store baskets. Assign baskets for every member of the house, which makes sorting a breeze. • Why not decoupage or paint the insides of your cabinets for a fun pop of color? It’s a guaranteed smile each and every time you reach for your detergent. Also don’t ignore the door. Adhere some cork panels on the inside of the cabinet doors and create a space to pin all those stain removal tips. • Don’t like the cabinets, floors and countertops in your laundry room? Every surface can be painted or resurfaced. Update your laundry room with paint and a concrete overlay for less than $30 in materials. Say goodbye to the outdated linoleum, brick pavers and old, dark cabinets.

• A rolling laundry butler can be your best friend, doing triple duty with a hanging bar, a rolling basket and a drying rack. It’s the perfect choice for smaller laundry rooms that haven’t been updated in a few decades. • Don’t neglect your laundry room walls. Hanging interesting art and mirrors will elevate your room and make it feel less utilitarian and

a little homier. Suddenly those 400 loads of laundry most of us will do this year might actually be enjoyable. • A folding station makes all the difference. Use a slab of stone or a simple piece of painted medium-density fiberboard (MDF) on top of washer/dryer units to create a folding station that also prevent socks from slipping in between the appliances.

Connect to color through your passions (BPT) — Whether you love to sit on the beach or collect antiques, drawing from your personal passions can help you find the perfect colors to enhance your space. “If a hobby or activity lifts your mood, surround yourself with things that remind you of it,” says David Bromstad, HGTV star and celebrity designer. “I always look to a homeowner’s passions when helping them decorate. And if you start with an established palette of coordinated colors, it’s easy to follow your instincts.” Bromstad offers these tips for using color to express your passions. • Head-for-the-beach colors. If you are inspired by the sea and sand, use maritime blues and dune grass greens to create a fresh, breezy feeling that beckons barefoot comfort. Create an indoor seaside retreat using rattan furniture, Sea Salt pale aqua walls and a table painted Rapture Blue. Complete the look with accessories such as seashells and clear vases that evoke sea glass washed ashore.

• Pick colors fresh from the garden. Let the colors of your favorite flowers, fruits and vegetables guide your color choices throughout the home. Evoke beautiful pink flower petals with Exuberant Pink on a bathroom accent wall; paint a desk in a fresh, Frolic green; or bring out citrus colors in the kitchen with orange Tango. • Cook up some color excitement. Make your kitchen the ideal gathering place with deliciously warm and inviting colors. Spice it up with rich, saturated tones of Peppery orange and Grandeur Plum. For room-to-room harmony, use Garden Sage or Edamame in an adjoining dining room. • Design around your collectibles. If you are an antiques aficionado, choose colors that celebrate the retro hipness of repurposed objects. Use colors like Bold Brick or Urbane Bronze to add substance to kitchen cabinets. Give a mudroom an eclectic twist with Armagnac walls and a Parakeet green bench.

(owner ofAmma’s in downtown Princeton) slipped on her last basement stair. This resulted in a shattered right ankle that had to be surgically repaired by Dr. Kirk Green. Following this very complicated surgery, along with a week at Perry Memorial Hospital to begin healing, Kay chose to come to Colonial Healthcare & Rehabilitation Centre for her continued rehabilitation and recovery. Here is what Kay had to say about her stay at Colonial: “Sometimes older is better because of seasoning and wisdom. My stay at Colonial was awesome! The staff was like one happy family welcoming you with pride to their home. My needs were anticipated and every need was met with generosity and a smile. My observation was everyone was treated the same. The food was excellent! The therapy was tremendous! I would recommend HEALTHCARE AND REHABILITATION CE Colonial to everyone!” 515 Bureau Valley Parkway, Princeton, Illinois
