August Women In BusInessThank you so much for the great photos

you did of the yoga wear we carry at Prima-Bodywear in the Professional Women's Is-sue. You showed off the fashions so well. Our family and friends have seen the article and we look forward to your large distribu-tion of readers seeing this article. Thank you again: we appreciate the exposure.

~Mary Pat McCurdie, OwnerPrima Bodywear

Thank you for a great spread about the Garden Party for the Arts in the August is-sue of Style. We loved seeing all of those smiling faces and were happy that you could highlight such a charitable group from our community. Keep up the great work. We look forward to your future issues.

~Rachel Herrera & Kirsten SavageArts Alive

septemBer ApprecIAtIonsThank you so much for the wonderful

article on the Greeley Philharmonic Orches-tra. I have had so many positive comments. We greatly appreciate your support.

~Jeanette Kolokoff

I want to add my personal thanks to those of the Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra Association, for the wonderful article you did on the GPO in your September issue. It was extremely well done and I have heard many great comments about it.

Our season is off and running, as the second concert with Maestro Glen Cortese was held last Saturday. Your article was a big help to us in generating enthusiasm for the season.

~Phillis EatonPresident, GOP Board of Directors

octoBer medIcAl & WellnessThe article on Lymphedema prevention

in the October issue of Style is fantastic! I am so very grateful to you for the opportu-nity to share information on LDT!

~Carol J. McDaniel, C.M.T., R.Y.T.

octoBer style: survIvors speAkThank you for an amazing opportunity to

meet other survivors and experience a mul-titude of (unexpected) emotions. I had no idea what a “journey” it would be for me. I’d talked with former models and imagined it would be only fun and glamour! I was na-

ïve, of course, as I had to face issues I didn’t even know I had about my body image. I had some tears along the way, especially at David’s Bridal Store when low cut, strap-less gowns so obviously did not cover my bra and prosthesis! Valerie was a lifesaver that day, suggesting I try another store. A few days later, I found a wonderful outfit at Designs. Valerie and the ladies at the store helped me find the black sweater and skirt outfit that not only made me feel sexy but also covered my prosthesis and bra strap. I was so relieved and thrilled that I decided to purchase the outfit and my “souvenir” of the clothing success!

This may sound silly and superficial, but it was a huge step in coming to grips with my body and accepting it. I still can look pretty in sexy evening gowns!

Being with the other ladies was the most inspiring part. The side conversations as we waited to be photographed or socializing with models and their variety of chosen es-corts was an education in itself. The humor, the bravery, the I-can-do attitude caught up (even shy me) in their infectious joy!

Thank you for the honor of being with these amazing women and for the growing experience I had not anticipated for myself.

~Glenice Risheill

Thank you so much for honoring breast cancer survivors in the October issue of Style. It was truly an honor for me to be included.

I once read that the beauty of a woman is not the clothes she wears or the way she combs her hair. The true beauty of a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the passion she shows and the caring she lovingly gives. This is the beauty of you, Lydia. Your en-couragement and devotion to breast cancer awareness and Hope Lives benefits so many. Again, thank you for the incredible experi-ence. Thanks too, to all your staff. Everyone was just wonderful.

Heartfelt thank you. You are one inspir-ing lady!

~Diane Nelson

I just want to thank you again for ask-ing me to be part of the October issue with breast cancer survivors. It is beautiful, as usual! You are so talented...and so appreci-ate the fact that you use local "models" in your magazines!

Thanks again! Enjoy the beautiful fall weather...and holidays coming up! God Bless You!

~Alene Starkey

Thank you for including me in the photo shoot and for all your assistance! I had a wonderful day!

~ Kerri Geary

“Courage is Fear that has said its prayers” Thank you to all of you for a wonderful ex-perience with the photo shoot and the gala. You are a wonderful group and a joy to work with. Thank you for all that you do.

~Barb Larkin

I have never written to a magazine be-fore, but I just today received your latest is-sue and had to respond.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in the fall of 1992 and since being treated, have been cancer free, but, just like you, every year at this time I schedule my mam-mograms. It doesn’t get any easier, although my breast cancer specialist said it would. He was wrong! My anxiety level goes way up also. Like you, and thousands of others it is such a relief when I get the “A-OK” and can relax for a year.

You do a great service to our community. I love your magazine and wish you the best of health.

~Sharon CarltonWindsor, CO

I just finished the breast cancer issue and it was the best one ever! The articles were so well researched and informative. Better than I have seen in other publications. Even though I am a survivor, I always hesitate to read others stories because it brings up so many memories I’d rather not relive. Thank you for your relentless pursuit of every as-pect of treatments and support. You truly are a gift to all women. I am forever grate-ful.

The holiday season is my favorite time of year and the perfect time to reflect and express gratitude for all of my blessings. God has blessed me so richly in so many ways. I am so grateful that my health is good, other

than those pesky middle age issues that crop up out of nowhere. My recent foot surgery has been in recovery nearly sixteen weeks now and I just learned that a follow up surgery will be necessary. I am still looking for the blessing in this one, but I imagine it is in learning patience and the enjoyment of staying home and watching TV.

Another very meaningful blessing in my life is doing the work I love. The relationships that I have developed helping advertisers grow their businesses is priceless. The wonderful people I have met through articles we have written, photography or fashion we have featured are now friends. This journey these past 23 years has been extraordinary. My passion for Style is shared and supported by a talented and creative staff and team of writers and photographers that work hard and care deeply about presenting you with beautiful, interesting, and innovative magazines. They are truly an awesome team of professionals that are committed to excellence and I am deeply honored to work with them all.

As you browse our magazine, notice the About Town photos from the 7th annual Hope Lives! to benefit the foundation that provides services for women diagnosed with breast cancer. This year we once again celebrated life and raised a little money. This wonderful non-profit continues to bless me with the opportunity to work with

inspiring and courageous women stricken with the devastating challenges of breast cancer. It has been a life changing experience for me; one that has brought me closer to my faith, to my family and to life.

Most of all, I feel so fortunate and so blessed to be the mother of my two daughters, Meredith and Ali. They bring me so much happiness, joy, richness, and they brighten my day. Oh yes, just like any other young women, they also stress out their mom and occasionally drive her crazy. Guess they wouldn’t be normal if they didn’t! Both girls work part time and are in college; Meredith at CSU and Ali at DU. They are absolutely delightful, hard working, charming and fun young women. They make me laugh, keep me current with rap music, and in touch with the latest lingo and fashion looks. I am so lucky to be their mom; I love them so very much!

In this season of giving, may I suggest we all look for meaningful ways to enrich our giving. Consider adopting a family and sharing the spirit of the holidays with others in need. Read Adopt-a-Family and learn about this worthwhile holiday program and how you can get involved. Last year we adopted several families and my daughters learned some very special life lessons shopping, and delivering to families less fortunate. Helping others in need is the essence of celebrating the true meaning of the holidays.

Wishing each of you a very Blessed Holiday!

While many businesses celebrate their anniversaries in five-year increments, I genuinely treasure every day, every month and every year at Style. During this holiday season of Thanksgiving and Christmas every year I celebrate Style’s anniversary. This year marks the 23rd anniversary of continually publishing and mailing Style Magazines to you, our readers. Thank you for your encouragement and continuing support; we are committed to working hard to deserve your ongoing confidence.

I can’t work here anymore!I yelled inside my brain. I sat freezing in the office I shared with my husband. It had once been the garage, and cold air seeped out of the concrete walls and emanated up from the hard, slab floor. It chilled every bone in my

body. Then, in a flash of insight, I thought about the toasty room next door– the one that had once been my office before a persuasive teenager claimed it as her room:

“I promise if you let me have the downstairs room,I’ll live at home,” my oldest had asserted.

Lies. All lies. She lived in the dorm her first year and had recently moved into a house with several friends. It had finally occurred to me that she wasn’t coming back. I could reclaim “her” room as my office. And I could

leave my husband behind. He liked the cold. No more silent fighting over the thermostat. No more trying to write while he listened to one baseball game

and watched another. No more working with my husband! Don’t get me wrong. I love my husband of 22 years with all my heart.

But I can’t work with him, and certainly couldn’t own a business with him. Just how do couples work together anyway?How do they stay sane? What’s their secret?

“We’ve worked together 25 years,” says Dan. “We were high-school sweethearts. Our first job was at a convenience store when we were in college.”

“We both have a passion for antiques and we started going to auc-tions in college to find furniture to refinish, and furnish our apartment. Eventually our hobby and passion turned into a vocation. While we both share the fun of traveling and searching for our antique treasures, each of us has our own expertise and responsibility. Mine is the refinishing and supervising the restoration of our customer’s antiques as well as the antiques in our store. Theresa’s expertise is in the buying and selling of the gifts and home decor that we display along with our antiques. We respect our differences.”

Their advice:

“Keep your business and your family life separate. Have well-es-tablished priorities and boundaries. Put God first, family second, and business third. Don’t discuss work at home and respect and embrace the talents that both people bring to the business.”

“At a time in most people’s lives when they would be contemplating retirement, Susan and I started a new phase full of challenges, new ex-periences, and thrilling new successes. Colorado Hats was conceived on paper and developed by us from the ground up,” says Ted. “We didn’t buy into someone else’s success. Becoming custom hat manufacturers was a joint venture from the outset, and we shared equally in the vision, cautiously realistic about what we were attempting to do.”

“We feel our biggest asset is our desire to be together. We enjoy it and we rely on each other. We developed the business so that we could be together. We don’t find it confining. Instead, we feed off our close-ness and dependence. We knew we had a great relationship before our joint venture and this experience has strengthened our bond.”

Their advice:

“Enduring the thrill ride with someone, hand in hand, with patience and a common eye on the goal is paramount,” says Ted. “Susan and I have developed (different) skills that when combined together create a terrific product. I’m a big guy. My hands are big and strong, ideal for blocking and creasing the hats, but not so handy at sewing silk liners inside the crown of the hat or crafting hat bows and trim. Susan, on the other hand, excels at those tasks. We each bring unique properties to the union. Recognizing and using those properties to benefit our busi-ness is an advantage.”

Their business: MobiLiTy and More- offering affordabLe soLuTions To aLL your MedicaL hoMecare needs.Their sTory:

“We started our current business in 2004,” says Kyleen, “but we’ve worked together since 1985. Our first experience was from 1985-2001 at another business in Texas. We ended up as franchisees of three 24-hour restaurants in three towns 45 to 75 miles apart, working 24 hours a day, seven days a week for 16 years. Then September 11th occurred. 9/11 caused us to re-evaluate our lives and make plans to bring our family closer together. We de-cided to sell our business, and made plans to move to Fort Collins to be near our son and family. Along with us, we brought our daughter and her two children.”

“We wanted to be in business together again. We looked at different avenues, and eventually established Mobility and More, a durable medical equipment business in Loveland. We go home each evening with a good feeling in our hearts, knowing we have provided solutions for our customers to make their everyday lives a bit easier.”

Their advice:

“We feel the secret to successfully working together goes back to the fact that our love and marriage is what’s most important. We try not to take work ‘home’ unless it’s unavoidable. We are still work-ing at that. Our advice for couples think-ing about going into business together is ‘never go to bed mad.’ Always respect the other’s opinion. There may be times when ‘in one ear and out the other’ is the best method. In the end, your feelings for each other will reflect in your personal lives and your business.”

Being a small business, we’ve devel-oped a submarine mentality. As craftsman in a very big ocean of international imports and conglomerate manufacturing, if our little submarine develops a leak, and we stand around arguing about whose fault it is, or what should be done, we will sink into a very deep ocean and no one would notice. There is no need for interoffice politics. We just plug the leak and move forward. Conflict resolution is an extremely important topic among husband and wife business partners. We’ve developed our own tool. If we don’t see eye to eye on an issue that requires a definitive solution, we look to our watches. On even hours it goes Susan’s way, odd it goes my way. I have no idea why I became odd man out.”

“We’ve worked together all of our married life,” says Tracy. “I managed the RE/MAX office where Tom was a com-mercial real estate agent. Since we were in the same place every day, and in the same business, it seemed logical to work together. I got my real estate license and started to work with Ron.”

“Our working relationship is the same as our married relationship. I jokingly say that as long as I remember who is boss, we will get along just fine. But our relation-ship is give and take and we have a com-mon goal, so why would we not work well together? We love each other and have mutual respect for each other. We rely on each other.”

“Because we work together, we un-derstand the time constraints the job puts on us. There is no jealousy that one of us is home alone while the other is still at work. We also understand the intensity of some of our real estate deals, and work together to achieve the same final result. We are a great team! We share the same sense of humor and we laugh at each other’s corny jokes!”

Their advice:

“For couples considering going into business together we say, go for it! When people comment about Ron and I work-ing together, we say we’re married to each other, why wouldn’t we want to work to-gether, too?”

According to the US Census Bureau, 9% of Larimer County lives below the poverty threshold, which for a family of four is defined as an an-nual household income of around

$20,000. Or put more simply by Timberline Church’s Adopt-A-Family Coordinator, Hal Schatz, “The need is great.”

Thankfully, says Schatz, the generosity from the community always rises to meet the demand. Timberline Church is now beginning its 7th season of the Adopt-A-Family program. Adopt-A-Family is an outreach ministry that reaches families from all over Fort Collins, whether they belong to the church or not. The program matches families or individuals who have a desire to adopt a family with those who are in need. Participating adopt-ers come from a consortium of eleven churches, and numerous individuals and businesses in the community. In its first year, Schatz recalls that they planned to serve 25 families and actually reached 85. During the 2006 Christmas season, the pro-gram provided services to over 800 families.

Adopt-A-Family strives to meet the Thanksgiv-ing/Christmas requests of families or individuals in need who express a desire to be adopted. Those adopting a family agree to provide a holiday food

basket or gift card, and a Christmas gift for each child in the family, although there are instances when the giving has gone well beyond that. One adoptee tells of a year when he was travel-ing back and forth to Colorado Springs due to a death in the family. He says, “Every time we came home there was something new. One time it was a Christmas tree. The next time it was some food and some ornaments. We have become really close with that family.” In some instances com-munity members offer professional services like dental care, Realtor services to find affordable housing, or house/car/appliance repair.

Face-to-face interactions are a main goal of Adopt-A-Family. Volunteers attempt to match families in need with people who may understand their unique situations like having a house dam-aged by fire or a family member with cancer. Most of the time adopters are asked to make contact with the family in need to find out how to best meet their needs, though anonymous donations are also possible. Through this direct interaction, it is hoped that long-lasting relationships are built, Schatz explains.

Timberline Church coordinates with other par-ticipating churches to try to avoid duplicate giv-ing. Adoptee referrals also come from more than

30 local agencies including Larimer County aid programs, United Way agencies, Poudre School District, and others. Families can call Timberline Church and express their interest in being adopt-ed but it is suggested that they work through re-ferring agencies like The Family Center/La Familia, Secret Santa, Prison Fellowship, Salvation Army, Catholic Charities, or a social service counselor. Schatz says, “I feel strongly that governmental, business, and faith based organizations can work together to meet the needs of the disadvantaged in Fort Collins.”

If you are interested in adopting a family, you need not be a member of Timberline Church or the other participating churches. Call (970) 482-4387x515 to express your desire to help. Says Schatz, “Two or three people working end-less hours can’t accomplish the goal. It takes a lot of people putting in a few hours, pooling their gifts, talents, resources and passions. No contri-bution is too small and every contribution makes a difference. Working together we can accom-plish so much more than we can alone.”

Gene arrived in Fort Collins in 1936 as a high school freshman. His first vivid memory is freshman initia-tion when some upper classmen sat him in the school fountain and he had to walk around school all day with wet pants. The family joke is that one of those

upper classman eventually became his brother-in-law. Gene’s father, Ferd, had moved his family from Brush, Colorado to begin the family car business through the purchase of a Dodge and Plymouth dealership. Times were tough in 1936 and Gene, in addition to school activities and sports, worked odd jobs at the dealership as well as a daily paper route for the Express Courier where he earned $5 per week. He recalls one incident with emotion that illustrates the stress and difficulties families and businesses were experiencing in those days. Through his diligence and hard work, Gene had saved $50. One evening his father came home from work and asked if he could borrow the $50 from Gene to make tomorrow’s payroll. Gene laughs and says, “I don’t think he ever paid me back.”

Gene notes that his father and his wife, Patty, were the two most influential and significant persons in his life. He admired his father’s character, particularly his honesty and hard work, as well as his interest and involvement in philanthropy, service, civic affairs and “grass roots” politics. His father eventually became a state representative. Patty and Gene were married in 1943. She was always there for the family and held things together while Gene was building the business. Not only was she a real stalwart when things were tight, but she was also an inspiration and positive influence for all those that knew her. She was dedicated to her family, community, and church.

In 1940, Gene enrolled in Colorado A&M, where he majored in civil engineering and was enrolled in ROTC, which was a two-year require-ment for every male student. Gene excelled in ROTC and was part of a small number of students selected for the advanced program. In his junior year in college, he was called into active military service and was commissioned as a second lieutenant at Fort Knox, Kentucky, as an ar-

tillery forward observer. He served his country in Europe, primarily in Belgium, but did experience crossing the Rhine during the invasion of Germany.

He returned to Colorado A&M after his military discharge in 1946, and completed his degree. In 1952, Gene decided to go into partnership with his father and brother in the car dealership. By 1955, Gene was the sole owner of the business as his brother, Bob, decided to open a new dealership in Greeley.

Through the years, Gene followed his father’s advice and joined au-tomobile industry organizations. Ultimately, he became President of the Colorado Automobile Dealers Association and a legislative representa-tive for the national association. In addition, he took civic responsibility seriously through his service on what are now the Poudre School Board, the Hospital Board, and Chamber of Commerce. He is a life-long mem-ber of Rotary International.

Today, Markley Motors is a fifth generation business that employs his son Doug as President, two granddaughters, two sons-in-law, and a great granddaughter. The business over the years has grown from five employees that started with his father in 1936, to now employing over 200 people. Gene is particularly proud of the longevity and loyalty of those that have worked with him. For example, Gene hired Judy Peyton right out of high school and she has been his administrative assistant for over 50 years.

He is also proud of his children, Doug and Ann. In his words, he kind of lost his business edge around 70 but Doug has taken the business to a new level of success. Ann and her husband now manage the real estate that supports the dealerships. Gene still goes to the dealership on a weekly basis but now gets most of his pleasure from seeing and talking with long-time customers as well as the relationships he has with the employees.

Gene has great memories about the business, his family and the com-munity. Today, he is focused on philanthropy, again something instilled by his father. A few years ago he and Patty established a fund at the

Community Foundation of Northern Colorado, for the purpose of making discretionary charitable gifts to the community. By involving his family in these philanthropic decisions, he is passing on a social legacy that not only reflects his and Patty’s values but also encourages a tradition of giving in the next generations. Gene also has a personal faith and says that his church has been a tower of strength and a refuge. In memory of his loving wife Patty who passed away in 2006, Gene hopes to plan a final tribute through the church in her honor.

When asked how he would like to be remembered, Gene responded with a simple and humble answer, “As a friendly and honest guy who cared about the needs of others.” His only regret might be that at times he emphasized business more than family but overall it was a good bal-ance. He continues to have an active social life through his involvement with CSU and attendance at many community events. It is with much gratitude that we say thank you to Gene, Patty, and the Markley family for five generations of community building and service.

In 2006, Winter Park Resort was voted by the Associated Press as “Colorado’s Best Family Area” for its diverse terrain, which allows family mem-bers to ski or ride trails or terrain parks of their choice and still meet at the bottom for another run. This year, Winter Park Resort improves with the addition of $8 million in on-mountain capital improvements including the installation of North America’s highest high-speed six-person chairlift to the summit of Parsenn Bowl, two new inter-mediate trails, and over 100 acres of newly gladed terrain - all at Mary Jane.

Family private lessons continue to grow in popularity and allow entire families to learn new skills together while new individual products such as Just Because I’m Three and Super Parallel allow the young and the young at heart to develop new skills and confidence on their own. And because playing together doesn’t have to mean staying together all day, Winter Park Resort also offers non-ski and ride activities such as snowcat and snowshoe tours through its Tour Center.

Just a 2.5 hour drive from Fort Collins, Win-ter Park Resort offers a ski town experience that feels a world away without actually taking that long to get there. At 3,060 acres, Winter Park Resort is BIG. Combine this with more then 3,000 feet of vertical and 30 feet of snow annually and you have the makings for your next great ski trip full of whatever terrain you desire.

While known for the ski experience, Vail of-fers an eclectic mix of fun-filled action for kids and teens.

On the slopes, the Vail Kids Snowsports School features private instruction for children of all levels. Privates are extremely popular for kids, offering customized lessons with dedicated, pro-fessional instructors who work with parents on the child’s needs.

The school also offers Kids Camps which are five-day sessions designed for families who will be visiting for a week or so during holiday or vacation periods. The camps provide a different emphasis

each day, focusing skill sets on bumps, powder, terrain parks, racing, and more.

Young guests love the Vail Kids Adventure Map, which showcases runs that Mom and Dad may never ski! The map consists of adventure areas such as Crazy Coyote’s Cavern, Dragon Breath’s Den, Magic Forest, Thunder Cat Cave and Chaos Canyon, which is a trio of trails that meander through a cluster of trees. Kids can pick up their Adventure Maps in any of the Children’s Snowsports School locations.

Aviator Park features a 13-foot half pipe (a combination of small and me-dium hits, rails and boxes) designed for freestyle progression. Sky Way Park includes “ground low” boxes, rails, and mini hits intended for those start-ing out.

Steamboat Ski Resort is the #1 Family Re-sort in the West, an honor the resort has held for five consecutive years, from SKI Magazine’s Top 50 Resort issue. This incredible honor recognizes Steamboat’s continued commitment to families, which runs deep within the industry, and spans nearly three decades.

Steamboat pioneered the first Kids Ski Free™ program in the ski industry in 1982 and quickly followed with a Kids Rent Free Program. Six years ago, Steamboat unveiled yet another trendsetting program - Kids Fly Free. Not to rest on past ac-complishments, in 2004/2005 Steamboat offered the perfect peace of mind for parents with the launch of the revolutionary tracking technology, Steamboat MountainWatch. A year later, the re-sort’s Ski & Snowboard School tailored private les-sons specifically to families.

Last year, the resort redesigned the popular family terrain in the Sunshine Bowl by adding magical touches to a special family trail complete with cutouts of cartoon characters, Steamboat

Olympians, and fun terrain whoop-de-doos. The resort also upgraded this family area with the ad-dition of the high-speed quad Sunshine Express chairlift.

For 2007/2008, Steamboat again raises the bar for families. On-mountain improvements to-taling $16 million for this season include: a brand-new six-passenger, high-speed chairlift, a com-pletely transformed beginner area, an improved Kids’ Vacation Center cafeteria, new trail signs, and snowmaking enhancements.

Steamboat Ski Resort continues to offer a wide variety of activities, programs and features for the entire family: kids-only lifts, kids-only ski and snowboard zones, and special terrain park features, including Mini-Mavs - a smaller version of the superpipe, perfect for young/novice skiers and riders. During peak season times, the resort offers a Kids’ Adventure Club at Night featuring a camp environment with supervision, snacks, games, movies, and rest time.

Nearly 60 percent of family travelers use ser-vices offered for children, according to the Travel Industry of America. Breckenridge Ski Resort un-derstands how important this aspect is to any family vacation and has developed programs that deliver what kids and parents both want during a vacation. Breckenridge makes it easy for families of all types to streamline their travel plans with the ability to book airfare, hotel, lift tickets, rent-als and ski school online at www.breckenridge.com.

NEW! Kids Mountains of Discovery Changes How Kids Learn to Ski and Ride

Breckenridge is turning children’s ski school into an adventure for kids 3 – 13. The new Moun-tains of Discovery gets kids out of the ski school yard and onto the mountain, exploring while learn-ing. Combining elements of passion and creativity, instructors are able to teach the fundamentals of the traditional ski and ride school while building a sense of passion for the sport. This differs from the conventional method that uses a very specific lesson plan taught in a designated teaching area or run for teaching all levels of kids. Mountains of Discovery divides students into four groups based on ski or snowboard level – Mt. Quandary, Mt. Massive, Mt. McKinley and Mt. Everest. Each cat-egory is given a list of things to “discover” over the course of the lesson that incorporates both the passion and skills of skiing or snowboarding as well as the concept of making learning fun. For example, the Mt Quandary or beginner student is challenged to ski or ride one of Breckenridge’s peaks, ski or ride one designated kids trails such as Ripperoo’s Forest or Sidewinder Junction and then ski or ride 3 trails at the resort. The list of goals changes with each level and is designed to teach skills in a way that convey the adventure to be had with snowsports.

The easy-to-read, AG Edwards tax strategies report, “Is You Nest Egg Working as Hard as It Could Be at Tax Time,” offers some of the following tips:

The “Kiddie Tax” Is Growing.

For those with dependent children, or with children or grandchildren nearing college age, it’s important to be aware that Congress is expand-ing the reach of the so-called “kiddie tax” rules. For 2007, these rules state that any unearned in-come in excess of $1,700 for a child who has not reached age 18 (increased in 2006 from age 14) and has at least one living parent at the end of the tax year is taxed at the child’s rate or parents’ top marginal rate, whichever is higher. Effective with the 2008 tax year, the kiddie tax rules will apply until the child turns age 19, and if the child continues to be a full-time student, the rules will

Even though it may seem a little early to be thinking about tax time, experienced investors know they must act before the December 31st deadline to put themselves in position to be ready for the spring filing experience. Without proper end-of-year tax planning, you may find yourself sending more money to the IRS than you should. To help prepare your nest egg for tax law changes and potential 2007 tax liabilities, it's important to understand the tax strategies available to you, many of which must be implemented before the end of the year.

apply until he or she reaches age 24. While this is all rapidly approaching, the fact that these additional rules do not come into play until 2008 means there are plenty of plan-ning opportunities available for 2007.

Gifting Appreciated Assets May Help to Avoid Capital Gains Taxes.

Because of the 0% federal tax rate on eligible dividends and long-term capital gains for taxpayers in the 10% and 15% tax brackets from 2008 through 2010, investors should think about gifting appreciated securities to adult children or grandchildren. During those years, that child or grandchild could sell the securities and potentially incur no capital gains tax. But remember key facts: when you gift appreciated securities, the recipient takes on both your cost basis and holding period, and pay particular attention to changing kiddie tax rules noted above.

Roll Qualified Plan Assets Directly Into a Roth IRA.

If you would like to move money from an employer-sponsored plan, such as a 401(k), to a Roth IRA, there’s good news for you in 2008. If you qualify, you will have the opportunity to move such funds directly to a Roth IRA without first rolling them into a traditional IRA and then converting that IRA to a Roth (the process currently in place for 2007).

IRA Contribution, Eligibility and Deductibility Limits May Increase.

In past years, it was easy to put IRA contributions on “auto pilot,” so to speak, knowing how much you could contribute each year, the amount that was deductible and whether you were eligible to contribute to a Roth IRA. But beginning in 2008, these limits will be inflation adjusted — perhaps even annually — so you’ll need to review your individual IRA situation at least annually to keep up with the most current contribution limits and eligibility provisions.

These are just a few of the things on the horizon that investors need to keep an eye out for now, before the year ends. Investors may also want to consult their advisor about the many changes from the far-reaching tax legislation of 2001, which are starting to come into play this year and next.
