While the general process can be used in writing stories, doing math, or doing science, in this case the students are being asked to order the steps necessary to grow a gar-den.

5 ¢ENTS WORTH by Grant Nichols It’s A Matter Of Opinion...

Guest Columnist

“9 to 5”-by Bob Perry

Are you kidding me! The Belgian police are prohibited to conduct raids between the hours of 9 PM and 5 AM which is truly a mind bender. The ban on night raids began in 1969 as reforms centering around civil rights acquired laws protecting property which prevented the police from searching un-der the dark of night. Nighttime invasion by police provides numerous temptations for the police to take advantage of people and property that possibly would go unde-tected in the light of day. This law does, however, provide the best of situations for the criminal element including the terror-ist community to move about and avoid detection. The conversation was fl oated as to pos-sibly making a change to the law but the needed changes have not been approved. One of the most disturbing situations is with the migration of immigrants into countries around the world and often the immigrants do not assimilate (become like others) into the culture of the destination country including the native language. Added to this law is the situation in many neighborhoods there is often total resist-ance to any police intervention day or night. It makes for a perfect situation that a suspect in a crime can go underground and remain undetected for a long period

of time. Such is the case of (name not im-portant) the main fugitive from the Paris terror attack who was captured in Brussels after a four month search. The operation to capture the suspect started around 4:30 and was captured some 10 minutes later thus not violating the 9 PM cutoff time for searches. Makes one wonder how many criminals including murderers avoid cap-ture living under such a ridiculous law. This fl awed law should serve as a wake-up call to the potential law changes in the future in the United States as the growth of immigrant communities continues to grow with all too many of the communi-ties do not assimilate into the surround-ing communities. It is well known that the world of Islam desires to one day rule the world and by immigrating to all countries in the world and growing in numbers so as to control government, the goal could eventually be achieved. The current administration in Washing-ton seems to be working hard to not detain illegal immigrants along with releasing imprisoned felons under the guise of insti-tuting justice. Are we possibly going to be facing an executive order similar to the Belgian 9 to 5 law? The releasing of felons along with not detaining illegal immigrants may actu-ally trump the 9 to 5 law.

Most of the photos included in this edition and its associated photo gal-lery were taken at School Street El-ementary School, April 11th, and during the performance of Disney’s The Little Mermaid, Jr. performed by Fretz students at the Floyd C. Fretz Middle School on April 9th. We should also mention that we made a video of fi rst year students, taking a lesson on their clarinets from the school’s resi-dent music man, Mr. Grady, in the band room at School Street Elementary School. Further, another batch of pho-tos, along with commentary regarding the production, was received from Am-ber Thompson whose daughter, Alicia Jones, played the part of Arista, one of the Mermaid Princesses, the sister of Ariel in the show. While the photo of Alicia has been included in this edition, the remainder of the photos regard-ing the play and the video have found their way into the associated photo gal-lery……..With prices of gasoline ris-ing once more, we suggest a good, but somewhat painful way for saving a little on fuel, that of buying only 5-6 gallons at a time. With such a small amount of fuel, the gas gage is always down below the quarter fi ll mark where we would normally begin to pay atten-tion, and not make any extra trips. This saves fuel. But if we don’t pay atten-tion and take extra trips, the penalty is something we don’t like to do- stop to buy gas. Try it, you’ll like it. It’s a guar-anteed sure fi re way of saving money on fuel, and at the same time, making us less apathetic, by getting us mad enough to, at the least, speak out about what big refi neries and big oil interests in this country and around the world do to us when they gamble on the com-modities market, the real cause for sud-den surges in gasoline prices……..The headlines stated “Hundreds fl ock to US Capitol to protest money in poli-tics,” but more honestly would have read, “Four hundred arrested for protesting money in politics.” One would think the unarmed protestors, many having put in the time and bother of marching from Philadelphia to Wash-ington, DC (126 miles) to loudly, and publicly make their opinions known, would have been treated with some respect at some level. But the truth is that most Washington based politicians don’t empathize with regular people. While they make a show for everyone during election times, the only respect they show is for the people and organi-zations that can fund their next win.

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCESIs A Budget-Billing Plan From Your Utility Company A Good Idea? During a particularly cold winter or hot summer, you open your utility bill with a sense of dread. Is it time to consider your utility company’s budget-billing plan? Maybe so, but do your homework fi rst. Here’s how a utility company’s budget-billing plan generally works. Your chosen utility company considers your energy usage patterns over a given period, adds in projections for their wholesale energy costs and your region’s future weather pat-terns. Based on those calculations, your utility company comes up with an average monthly payment that allows a customer to even out monthly utility payments over a specifi c time period, usually a year. It may sound good, and for many custom-ers, it adds some stability to their monthly bill payments. However, here’s where a budget-billing plan can go wrong. If you see that fi xed monthly payment and think you don’t have to watch your energy usage at all, think again. After all, your utility is still reading your meter and you might be in for a rude awakening when your budg-et-billing period ends. You might owe ex-tra money. Here are some questions to ask before you sign up for any budget-billing plan: How well do you understand your cur-rent bill? Every utility company designs its bills somewhat differently based on state regulations and the type of energy product being sold. Depending on the community, a variety of utility companies might be competing for your business. Still, many of us rip open our gas, electric or other energy bills without understanding the ba-sics of what we’re being charged and why. But it’s important to try. It makes sense to study your local utilities company’s charging practices in general – includ-ing those specifi c to competing providers. Also, if there are qualifi ed energy advoca-cy groups in your state or community, see whether they offer any specifi c advice on local utility company practices and how to keep your cost of service low. Evaluate the budget-billing plan closely. Ask the following questions: • What happens if my actual utility costs exceed the amount I’m paying each month on my billing plan? As mentioned, your utility company will continue to measure your usage on its metering sys-tem. If your usage exceeds that budget es-timate for any reason, you could face what amounts to a balloon payment covering what you still owe at yearend. If so, your budget-billing plan could put you in debt. • Are there monthly or annual fees in connection with this plan? What are they and what do they cover? Paying anywhere from $5 to $10 a month to be on a “budget” plan should give you pause. Understand

any and all fees before you pay them. • What factors go into setting my monthly average? How many years of pay-ments go into that calculation, and what other factors apply to set the amount you want me to pay? In the way many normal utility bills can be a mystery, so can your budget-billing payment. See how well your utility can explain how they would set your bill. • If my budget bill and actual utility cost are getting seriously out of whack, do you let me know, or is there a way I can check that? If your budget-billing pay-ment is actually putting you in the red due to a cold or heat snap or some other fac-tor, it’s best to know that before the end of your term. • Are you building any weather fore-casting into my budget-billing estimate? Are you projecting any weather extremes in the coming year? • Say I manage to come in under your monthly budget-billing estimate. Do I get my money back? Consider an alternative – your own budget plan. Locate your bills for the last year or two and average your payments, plugging them into your monthly house-hold budget. On the months where your costs come in below your average, deposit the difference into a savings or money market account to cover future months where there could be overages. It’s clearly an experiment – after all, no one knows whether the years ahead will bring mild or ferocious weather or how world events might affect wholesale energy prices. But

by - Nathaniel Sillinyou’ll be in control of every dime and po-tentially earning a little interest on any-thing you don’t spend. Your utility’s budg-et plan probably won’t do that for you. Bottom line: Utility budget-billing plans might be a good idea for homeown-ers and renters who want a little more pre-dictability in their monthly payments. But before you sign, you really need to un-derstand how your utility company’s plan works.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDE

(NAPSI)—With more than 600,000 procedures taking place every year, la-ser vision correction surgery—such as LASIK—remains an extremely popular option for adults interested in reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or con-tacts to see clearly. With an average price of $4,500 for the most advanced proce-dure, many people interested in LASIK are often challenged to fi nd a way to pay for it. Here are a few suggestions from the American Refractive Surgery Council: • Of course, if you have enough money on hand, paying for the procedure your-self is naturally the simplest option. You can feel good about investing in LASIK knowing the cost of glasses and/or contact lenses over a lifetime is far greater than the one-time cost of LASIK. • Many LASIK practices offer payment plans for procedures. Some programs are interest-free for a set period of time, but make sure you understand all the terms re-lated to the amount you borrow. • Although most insurance policies don’t cover elective eye surgery, you should always check with your insurance company to confi rm your specifi c cover-age and benefi ts. There are a few policies that offer coverage or discounts for vision correction surgery. • Credit options may help make LASIK affordable for you now and allow you to pay back the money you borrow over time. Some credit cards with no or very low in-terest rates and other attractive offers such as no-fee balance transfers can help you pay for your procedure over time without incurring additional expense. But, as with any credit decision, make sure you under-stand all the terms and that it fi ts within your budget. • Your job benefi ts may include access to Flexible Spending Arrangement (FSA) and Health Saving Account (HSA) pro-grams that allow you to set aside tax-free money for your procedure. By using tax-free funds to pay for LASIK, you effec-tively reduce the overall cost of the proce-dure. However, for the tax year 2016, the IRS limits an individual to up to $2,550 in an FSA and up to $3,350 in an HSA, which likely won’t cover the cost of LASIK, but will help. Married couples and families have a higher contribution limit, $6,750 for an HSA. Your company’s benefi ts manager can advise you on the specifi cs of your programs. • Choosing to pay for your vision cor-rection with cash gifts from family or friends, a tax refund, or bonus allows you

AICR HealthTalk-by Karen Collins, MS, RD, CDN

American Institute for Cancer Research Q: How do lentils compare nutritionally to dried beans like kidney beans, black beans and chickpeas? A: Like all pulses (a term that includes dried beans, dried peas and lentils) lentils are a great source of fi ber. Just a half-cup of cooked lentils provides nearly as much fi ber as two cups of cooked oatmeal, and much of it is the type of fi ber that helps lower blood cholesterol. Iron and the B vitamin folate that is so important for maintaining healthy DNA are high in all pulses. As do other pulses, lentils provide both protein and health-protective phytochemicals like fl avonoids. Lentils’ easy preparation requires no soaking like other dried beans, so you can go from pantry to table in about 20 minutes. Pulses are similar in nutrition, but you can enjoy exploring the many types for a variety of fl avors. Cook brown lentils until tender but not mushy, holding salt and any acid ingredients (such as lemon or tomatoes) until the end to avoid toughening the lentils and increas-ing cooking time. Brown lentils are part of renowned dishes all around the world. They can serve as a meat replacement or extender in your favorite stew, soup, chili, or rice- or vegetable-based mixed entrée. The little red lentils and yellow lentils dissolve into sort of a purée, so they’re great for thickening soups and stews, or mashed as in some Indian dal recipes. You may also see French lentils, which are smaller than more com-mon types, but these take longer to cook. French lentils retain their shape and fi rmness and add a peppery fl avor, making them a great choice for salads. Whatever your choice, enjoy lentils as a quick and easy way to work more legumes into your eating habits.

Soft Drinks And Orthodontics: A Recipe For Disaster (NAPSI)—Many people don’t know that soft drinks—even diet soft drinks, sports and energy drinks, and fruit

drinks—contain acids, which can be especially troublesome for people in orthodontic treatment. The American

Association of Orthodontists (AAO) strongly advises patients to avoid drinks with low pH levels because the lower the pH level, the more acidic the beverage. “It’s tempting to reach for soft drinks. People around us drink them regularly, they are easily purchased in vending machines and at convenience stores, and many are heavily advertised,” says Morris N. Poole, DDS, president of the AAO. “Sugar is known to be bad for the teeth but sugar-free soft drinks pre-sent dangers, as well. “Consumption of soft drinks dur-ing orthodontic treatment puts teeth at risk of decay due to the acid attack on enamel,” says Dr. Poole. “The acid in soft drinks pulls calcium out of tooth enamel. Repeatedly bathing teeth with acidic soft drinks dissolves enamel and is a sure path to a cavity. If soft drinks contain sugar, the risk increases. Sugar interacts with plaque and forms another acid to further dissolve enamel. When enamel is gone, the loss is permanent.” To help, there’s a new AAO educa-tional fl ier, “Soft Drinks + Orthodon-tic Treatment = A Recipe for Disaster” (www.mylifemysmile.org/why-you-should-get-orthodontic-treatment), that lists pH levels of more than 30 soft drinks and explains problems and solu-tions, including: • Plaque—a sticky, colorless fi lm made up of bacteria, food debris and saliva that feeds on sugar and starch-es. Frequent brushing and daily fl oss-ing remove most plaque. Hard-to-reach plaque requires professional attention, however. • Damage You Can See—“I tell pa-tients that a single sip of a soft drink is the catalyst for an attack on tooth enamel, and the attack is renewed with each new sip,” says Dr. Poole. These “attacks” can leave white spots or lines

Four Steps Toward Getting Your Mower Set For The Season (NAPSI)—April is National Lawn Care Month. It’s a great time to celebrate the beginning of warmer weather and the beauty of your outdoor landscape. And what better way to observe National Lawn Care Month than by getting your lawn mower ready for the season? A tune up is much easier than you might suspect and a great way to ensure that your lawn mower is ready to perform all spring and summer. To help out, Briggs & Stratton has put together a handy infographic to guide you through a 4-step Mower Tune Up. Still unsure? Briggs & Stratton has videos to show you how to tune up your riding mower at http://bit.ly/ridingmower-tuneup and your push mower at http://bit.ly/pushmowertuneup.


With summer just around the corner, you can also bring thecelebration inside by re-creating the bright, blissful vibe you’vebuilt in your outdoor space with these decorating tips from theexperts at Pier 1 Imports:

Pick the perfect shade. To create a true warm-weathervibe, try delving into blue-hued accessories like pillows orcurtains that run the gamut from classic stripes to prettyprints and embellishments. Whether in classic patterns ornewly edged in a golden hue, they’re sure to soften the look of your room. Coordinate the color and texture of yourtextiles for a designer-worthy look.

Take inspiration from nature. For a fresh look, use fauxsucculents, florals and topiaries. Displayed on mantels, hungnear a window or placed on a desk in your home office, they canhelp introduce a tranquility that’s refreshingly low-maintenance.A natural material like wicker, which doesn’t stand up to theelements as well as some other materials, is a great way to give your furniture a refreshed summer feel.

Bring the beach home. Blend ocean-inspired colors such as blues, greens and corals with sandy neutrals and driftwoodaccents. Give your indoor space even more beachside ambienceby incorporating seashells, starfish and anchors into your décor.

Accent with lighting. Light your home with lamps that areuniquely you. Whether your home is full of windows or has verylittle natural light, lamps, outdoor-inspired lanterns and strings of glimmering lights will leave no shadowy corners in yoursummer space.

Summer softness. Rich textures, shimmering beads, handembroidery—that’s just the beginning of Pier 1’s collection ofmore than 150 summer pillows. With an amazing selection ofpillows in every shape, loft, hue and style from all over the world,you’re certain to find exactly the right accents to bolster yourfurniture.

Bring Patio-Inspired Décor Indoors

FAMILY FEATURES

As temperatures rise, it’s the perfect time to gather friends and family for a getaway in your own backyard. Spruceup your space with furniture and accessories that reflect the newest sights and styles of summer for a patio-readylook that truly takes you places.

Nothing brings people together quite like a party on the patio. Creating a bright, blissful space for your patiocelebration is simple when you coordinate everything from dinnerware and drinkware to seating, accessories and even theentertainment.

Table talk. Making vivid memories is as simple as setting your table with a vibrant array. Top your table with layers of colors, textures and bold patterns. Use shatter-resistant dishes and dinnerware made of melamine for a tabletop that isas attractive as it is easy to care for.

Drink up. Quench guests’ thirst with a cold, refreshing drink station. Turn one corner of your party into a one-stopshop for drinks. Fill an embossed, copper-finished beverage tub with ice and drinks to create your own personal partyserver. It’s a must-have for hosts who like to mingle. Or add punch to your party with a jug-shaped acrylic beveragedispenser and a selection of drinkware made for outdoor entertaining. For example, BPA-free Clarity acrylic drinkwarefrom Pier 1 Imports offers the classic good looks of glassware, but the shatter-resistant vessels are at home inside and out.Available in a brilliant range of colors and silhouettes, Clarity pairs perfectly with a line of melamine dinnerware for acohesive table setting.

Outdoor seating. Incorporating sectional seating allows you to customize the size and shape that fit your needs. Byplacing furniture in a corner, you increase functionality without wasting an inch. An ottoman can serve as a small coffeetable or low dining table, creating a variety of options for how to use the space. Similarly, repurpose garden stools formultiple uses like tables, plant stands and impromptu seating.

Light the night. Crafted of weathered wood and mixed metals, lanterns come alive when the sun goes down. Pair themwith flameless LEDs and a remote control so you can turn the festivities on and off at the touch of a button. Grouplanterns together and fill a few with surprising elements, like terrarium ornaments and faux succulents. Or for high-trafficareas, Pier 1 Imports’ lanterns and string lights are a perfect solution. Safe for children and pets, these colorful lights aredecorative by day and illuminate the celebration after sunset.

Garden games. Add a little competitive spirit to your party by setting out a croquet set and let the games begin. Play as singles or set up teams of two. Other party games like bocce ball and horseshoes can inspire even more summer fun.

Finishing touches. From the playful to the poetic, unique accents bring your garden into full bloom and make a bigdifference on your patio. Bring your party theme to life or simply let your own personality shine with accessories such as pillows, rugs and decorative items like planters and garden art.

Tips For Cleaning Your Kitchen

(NAPSI)—While many fi nd joy in the comfort foods of winter, spring pro-vides a chance to embrace a fresh ap-proach to your eating habits. The fol-lowing tips will put a spring in your step and get you ready for this temper-ate season: • Out with the old. There’s a rea-son spring is the chosen season for all things related to cleaning. It’s the sea-son associated with ideas of rebirth, rejuvenation and renewal. What better way to refresh your food choices than by cleaning your pantry and fridge? Toss expired products and donate the shelf-stable goods you no longer want to a worthy cause. • Celebrate color. Spring ushers in fresh new produce that adds a variety of fl avor and nutrition. Produce such as apricots, green beans and broccoli all provide a pop of color that helps ensure you are enjoying the best seasonal pro-duce this spring. • Get organized. Eliminate cluttered bags of rice or pasta by placing them in glass jars to make searching for pantry staples a breeze. Visit the grocer’s bulk aisle for a variety of snack staples such as nuts and seeds—great for that after-noon craving. • Springtime beverages. Swap the hot and rich drinks of winter for the lighter, fruit-infused tastes of spring. New San-ta Cruz Organic® Agua Fresca bever-ages are lightly sweetened and blended with organic fruit juice and a splash of lemon juice. Available in Mango Pas-sion_fruit, Pomegranate and Grapefruit fl avors, Certifi ed USDA Organic Agua Fresca beverages are a revitalizing companion to warm weather fun.

Give your car a checkupAn all-over maintenance checkup is a good starting point to get apulse on your car’s condition. A multi-point inspection can helpalert you to signs of wear or damage on parts such as your belts,which can weaken as a result of cold winter weather, and yourbrakes, which are critical for safe driving.

Your engine relies on clean oil for smooth operation, so if it’stime for a change (usually every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, depending on manufacturer recommendations) you can schedule a change tocoincide with your service appointment.

Keep your view safe and clearKeeping your windshield clear is an obvious necessityfor everyday visibility, but the quality of your wiperblades is even more important in inclement weather.Old or damaged blades may not be up to the task ofkeeping your line of sight clear during a heavy springdownpour. When it comes to choosing new blades,give careful attention to performance.

Traditional metal wiper blades, installed on manynew cars, have exposed suspension components thatcan become damaged with exposure to extremeweather. Newer vehicles may include beam blades,with a pre-sprung steel beam designed specifically for that vehicle. However, many replacement beamblade designs are compromised to fit a large array of vehicle models and do not properly adapt to thevarying curvature of windshields. This results inreduced wrap and contact pressure on the windshield,as well as poor wiping performance.

A better option is hybrid blades, such as MichelinStealth Hybrid wiper blades, which feature anexclusive Smart Flex technology that automaticallyadjusts wiper blade contact pressure across thecurvature of the windshield for improved wipingperformance. Engineered for durable wiping in extremeweather conditions, the wiper frame and suspensionsystem are completely covered to protect the bladesfrom weather-related damage. The Michelin EZ-LokConnector System allows for a quick and simple bladereplacement. Learn more at MichelinWipers.com.

If your vehicle has a rear wiper, remember to replaceit, too.

Check your tractionYour tires are another of your car’s essential safety features. Excessor uneven tire wear can be extremely dangerous in wet and slickroad conditions. If your tires can’t get adequate traction, you mayfind yourself hydroplaning or losing control. What’s more, tires are an expensive investment, so before embarking on your next road trip, make sure your tires are properly inflated, balanced androtated. This can help ensure you get the most mileage out of yourtires before needing to replace them.

Slick Tips for Driving on Wet Roads� Ensure your tires have a safe margin of tread.

� Replace any bulbs, especially for brake lights, immediately.

� Ensure your headlights are clean for optimal road visibility.

� Always use signals to alert other drivers of lane changes and turns.

� Slow your speed before turning and avoid braking while making the turn.

� Avoid abrupt steering changes.

� Increase your following distance to allow longer stopping time for a sudden brake.

� If you hydroplane, do not attempt to accelerate your way out or brake.Release pressure on the gas pedal and steer your way to safety.

� Never attempt to enter or cross a roadway covered in water.

FAMILY FEATURES

Spring breezes may be blowing, but before you put those windows down and

settle in for a leisurely drive to soak up that fresh air, your car needs some

seasonal freshening of its own.

Regular car care helps ensure that your vehicle looks and runs its best, and timing your

car care to the seasons can help ensure all of your equipment is in top condition to protect

your safety in seasonal weather conditions.

One of the most common threats in spring is stormy weather, which can affect your

visibility and traction. Ensure you and your car are well-protected and ready for spring

with this spring car care checklist.

Show your shine Sound operations aside, you’ll get more enjoyment out of your carwhen it looks as great as it runs. A thorough cleaning of the exteriorafter the harsh winter months helps whisk away any damagingsubstances, such as the salt used to melt ice and snow.

Also give interior glassa wipe down for the clearest visibility possible and be sure to pickan interior protectant that doesn’t leave behind a greasy residue tohelp renew and protect all interior surfaces, including plastic, vinyl,rubber and trim.
