chiefs and activists arepromising a ramped-upday of protest, with block-ades of rail lines and bor-der crossings.The National Chief of theAssembly of First Nations,Shawn Atleo, said Friday'smeeting with the primeminister had achieved"some movement" andthat Harper, "for the firsttime, provided a clearmandate for high-leveltalks on treaty implemen-tation."However, other chiefs saidthey should have been at-tending a joint meetingwith both Harper and Gov.Gen.

I hope you’re sittingdown as you read this.My intention is not tocause panic and anguishin the community, butyou need to know thatwe are facing a graveand immanent danger.There is an insidious, un-controlled substancerunning rampantthrough society and no-body’s doing a damnedthing about it.Potent? This stuff can

turn a Leopard tank intoa mound of rust. Dan-gerous? It can smashthrough cement wallsand devastate entiretowns – even cities.Harmful to the planet? Itreconfigures entire land-scapes, causes acid rainand is a major contribu-tor to the Greenhouse Ef-fect.

What’s more, thischemical is everywhere.In our hospitals, ourschools, our homes –even ourselves. It’s beenfound in the tumors ofterminal cancer patientsand it’s known to bepresent in every organ ofour bodies.Can it kill you? In a va-riety of ways. In solidform it’s been known tocause severe tissue dam-age. As a gas it canleave you with third de-gree burns. Inhaling it asa liquid will kill you stonedead in minutes.Now for the bad news

– we’re all addicted to it.Can’t live without it. Totalwithdrawal will causeheadaches, weight loss,major organ failure andultimately, certain death.And the name of this

nightmare chemical thatthreatens our future andrules our destiny? Somecall it DHMO – dihydro-

THE MOST DANGEROUSCHEMICAL IN THE WORLD

gen monoxide. It’s alsoknown as hydroxyl acid.Most folks just call it

water.It’s a strange, love-haterelationship we havewith water. In 1779, theU.S warship known asOld Ironsides set sailfrom Boston carrying475 officers and men,7,400 cannonballs,11,600 pounds of blackpowder, 7,000 gallons ofrum and 48,600 gallonsof fresh water. She re-turned to Boston sevenmonths later with nocannon balls, no blackpowder, no rum….and48,000 gallons of stag-nant water.These days? A total seachange in attitude.Today, in shopping mallsand airport lounges; atbaseball games and barmitzvahs you see peoplepractically welded totheir personal water sup-ply. They’re all clutchingtheir plastic bottles ofDasani and Aquafina.They look like they’repreparing for a crossingof the Gobi, but no,they’re merely ‘keepinghydrated’, a la the latestfad. When I was a kidthe only adults who actu-ally carried their ownwater supply aroundwith them were GI’s inwar movies andHumphrey Bogart crawl-ing through the cacti inTreasure of the SierraMadre. Nowadays,everybody packs theirown ‘canteen’.Must have been a bit ofa challenge for the Madi-son Avenue advertisingbuzzards to figure outhow to make so many ofus pay for something wecan get for free. In theend, they used the sametechnique they use toflog that watery beer thatall tastes the same – theysold us an image.Aquafina, for instance,

shows a range of snow-capped mountains onthe bottle’s label, imply-ing that we’re purchasingwater air-lifted from pris-tine and untouchedstreams high in the Rock-ies. The fine print at thebottom of the labelreads: “bottled at thesource P.W.S.”

Hmmm. P.W.S. Whatcould that mean? PureWonderful Stream? Par-adisiacal WelcomingSweetness?Actually, it stands for

Public Water Supply.Aquafina (which isowned and operated byPepsi-Cola by the way) istrying very hard not totell you that what youare paying for is tapwater.Which is not to be con-fused with Smartwater.Smartwater is a designerbrand of bottled waterthat former Friends starJennifer Anniston is flog-ging these days. Youcan see the toothyblonde smiling back atyou in dozens of glossymagazine ads. She’sclutching a plastic bottleof Smartwater, implying Isuppose, that drinkingthat brand will make youbrighter, -- possibly rich,beautiful and famous toboot.

Victoria Kaplan dis-agrees. She speaks for amovement called Quit-ting the Bottle’, which isdedicated to getting ridof all those plastic bot-tles, 86 percent of whichwind up in landfill. “Cus-tomers are waking up tothe myth of bottledwater, despite celebrityendorsement,” says Ka-plan. She’s not too keen on

the Smartwater label, ei-ther. “I’ll tell you whatsmart water is: smartwater is when you walkto the tap and there isthis wonderful productthat is life fulfilling anddelivered right into theroom we want it in.”Oh, yeah – tap water.

The stuff we’ve alreadypaid for. Before compa-nies like Pepsi bottle itand sell it back to us.

last week, the day prior tohim and Karen Routly flyingto Germany to representGreenstone at the hugeTourism/Trade Show inStuttgardt. This trip thing hasgenerated more streettalk....some positive, somenegative....in this vast mu-nicipality than anything inrecent memory. Maybesince the Kinghorn Line de-bate? Anyway, they arethere and many locals arebeing kept up to date withJay's regular emails. "F/N"sees this as a great oppor-tunity for many businessesin G'stone area, and all theEuropean exposure for nextto nothing.And....PLEASE....do NOT re-late the $8000 cost of thistrip to 'seniors wind-rowclearing' as the two itemshave nothing to do witheach other. Nothing at all!You can betcha "FromNakina" will 're-address' thewind row thing well beforethe snow flies next fall.

Nothing is settled in the"F/N" JOTY (Jerk Of TheYear) Award for 2013. Acouple late-in-the-yearnominees have things stillup in the air, and since thisis such a coveted prize, thejudges want to get it right.

ing into "F/N"HQ on a non-stop basis these days areregarding the F/N (First Na-tions) Idle No More protest.Or project if you will. Yourstruly doesn't know what ex-

From Nakina ...Things In General........is what we'll call the first

item this week. Nothingearth-shaking or even excit-ing. Just 'stuff'. For starters,the Ring Of Fire, which re-ally isn't 'on fire' at all thesedays. Smouldering at bestI'd say. Oh sure, the oddreader will have somethingto say or ask about RoF go-ings on, but nothing evenremotely urgent/pressing toreport. And no, we're notgoing to say 'stay tuned'(because things will getmore interesting) as I'm notso sure RoF things ever will.Get more interesting that is.

The grapevine is sayingthat Longlac Forest Prod-ucts (LFP) may get going assoon as April....a mere threemonths off. And Nakina For-est Products (NFP) appar-ently will be into productionbefore year's end. Giventhe Ring Of Smoke situa-tion, they would both bewelcomed back to boostGreenstone's long sufferingecomomy.

actly it is that First Nationsactually want? A specificthing or things? Change thewording in a treaty ortreaties? There has been noreal indication fromTheresa Spence, the (fast-ing) chief who has, by de-sign or by accident, more orless become the drivingforce behind I/N/M, thatSHE has a clear plan ofwhat F/N want, and whatthey don't want. I try to lookat this as open-mindedly asI can, but it seems she hashad no real plan right fromthe get go. Still doesn't as amatter of fact. Anyway, thechief who was/is'fasting'.....but not really 'fast-ing' in the true sense of theword....gets her muchwanted meeting last Fridayin Ottawa. Then, not hear-ing what she wants to hear,leaves part way through.That's not so bad, whenone considers that all ormost chiefs from Ontarioand Manitiba don't evenshow up. Methinks that'scalled 'boycotting' in IdleNo More terminology, is itnot? But WHY were theyAWOL when the big meet-ing came? It also occuredto me that I've heard theterm ''divide and conquer''used by Indian people I'veknown for some tyme, yettheir action/inaction last Fri-day appeared to be 'divid-ing', albeit not 'conquering',the I/N/M protest. And itwas completely self-in-duced. Go figure.

Anyway, let's go back towhat we're hearing andreading here at "FromNakina". And where it'scoming from. Well, we'veheard from non-natives

AND natives all over thecontinent....here in the N/WOntario bush; T.O. and allover southern Ontario; theUSA in Arkansas, Florida,etc.; even from Mexico.Can't say interest isn't wide-spread, can you? Here inNakina and the rest ofGreenstone, the I/N/M stuffhas replaced the weatheras the topic du jour. Yet Imust say that it is no morepredictable than whatMother Nature might havein store for us. As to theprotests.....usually in theform of road or highway'blockades....it has beensaid to me by F/N peoples,that (loosely quoted) "wedon't want to piss off thepublic, we want the govern-ment's attention on this''.Well (hypothetically, ofcourse) if I've been sitting inmy delivery truck on theTrans Canada (either #11or #17) Highway, or onsome siding in a Via Rail carenroute from Regina toToronto for 3 or 4 hours,the first thing on my mindwhen I finally DO reach mydestination is not "Damn!I'm gonna call up my MP orMPP right away and givehim/her s--t''. Nosir/m'am.....I'm ticked at Indi-ans in general and thewhole Idle No More scene.Just what the Indians saidthey don't want. Wanna betMOST Canadians feel thesame way? And SunMedia'sEzrah Levant has picked upmore readers/viewers thesedays than any other jour-nalist this side of APTN. Re-gardless, the next tymeChief Theresa Spenceemerges from her tee-pee....in her ''frail and weak-ened condition'', will ALL ofthe 600 F/N Chiefs be onher side? Not likely. so, I

came up with a plan lastweekend....the day after TheMeeting That Wasn't....thatshould solve all of the FirstNations problems. It's abeaut! You ready for this?Don't go getting mad at thephatt guy, it's just a sugges-tion. Stephen Harper handsthe Keys To Canada over toShawn Atleo, NationalChief of First Nation. Lock,stock and barrell, it's theirs.No more Indian Affairs. Nomore Aboriginal Affairs,they get the whole kit andkaboodle. They/F/N will runthe show and, if they sochoose, can send chequesout monthly to non-nativeCanadians. Tit for tat, so tospeak. Also, I'd recommendChief Theresa's boyfriendbecome their new Ministerof Finance....or whateverthey choose to call the po-sition....because he's obvi-ously done such a stellarjob with Attawapiskat's mil-lions. And I'll offer to takeover whatshisname's oldjob, as a Non-F/N Tribe Rep-resentative', doing it foronly $400 a day. Less thanhalf of the reported $850daily he's raking in! Hell, I'deven go lower that that ifneed be. Best of all, underthe new scenario, former-ch ie f -now-Min is te r -o f -Health Theresa Spence canput an end to her 'fast'....nomore weakened and frailand wasting away to noth-ing. How about this? Do Ihave a plan here or what?Miigwetch.

DYING TO ONESELF

Gal 2:20"I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer

I who live, but Christ lives in me;”

The Bible has a lot to say about dying to ourselvesand living for God, but few Christians have any ideawhat it really means. This anonymous poem can help.

When you are forgotten, neglected, or purposely setat naught, and you don't sting or hurt with the over-sight, but your heart is happy being counted worthyto suffer for Christ;That is dying to self.

When your good is evil spoken of, when your wishesare crossed, your advice disregarded, your opinionridiculed, and you refuse to let anger rise in yourheart or even defend yourself, but take it all in patient,loving silence;That is dying to self.

When you lovingly and patiently bear any disorder,any irregularity, any annoyance; when you can standface to face with waste, folly, extravagance, spiritualinsensibility, and endure it as Jesus did; That is dying to self.

When you are content with any food, and offering,any raiment, any climate, any society, any solitude,any interruption by the will of God;That is dying to self.

When you never care to refer to yourself in conversa-tion or record your own good works or itch after com-mendation, when you can truly love to be unknown;That is dying to self.

When you can see your brother prosper and have hisneeds met, and can honestly rejoice with him in spiritand feel no envy, nor question God, while your ownneeds are far greater and you are in desperate cir-cumstances;That is dying to self.

When you can receive correction and reproof fromone of less stature than yourself and can humbly sub-mit, inwardly as well as outwardly, finding no rebel-lion or resentment rising up within your heart; That is dying to self

Dying to self is rewarded with life to the fullest!

Until He returns, God Bless!

Clergy SpeaksRevivalist Pastor James A. Kennedy

BIGGER BARNS

Someone in the crowd said to Jesus, ‘Teacher, tell mybrother to divide the family inheritance with me.’ But hesaid to him, ‘Friend, who set me to be a judge or arbi-trator over you?’ And he said to them, ‘Take care! Be onyour guard against all kinds of greed; for one’s life doesnot consist in the abundance of possessions.

Luke 12:13-15

Now that Christmas (and Boxing Day) are finally over,the bills start coming in. And, as many accountantswould tell you, from now until the end of March is themost taxing time of the year. This all adds up to desper-ation. Now, to be honest about it, if we had been morefrugal, if we had used a bit of foresight, we would notfind ourselves in such a stressful financial situation. ¿¿How to get out of the mess ??One way, I suppose, would be to attempt a radical

and sudden increase in one's income. Buying lotterytickets... Playing the horses... Finding a second, third (orfirst) job... Hoping for a windfall...The fellow who wanted Jesus to intervene with that

man's brother in order to get a chunk of the inheritanceseemed to have made a reasonable request. We allknow of someone who has left an estate in such a con-dition that some received, some did not, and all werein for many years of hard feelings. But Jesus speaks asthough the man's request was unreasonable. Asidefrom the real possibility that even divine interventionwould not cause the brother in question to share, Jesusmakes a very valid point. Greed, in whatever form itmay take, is still greed. The truth of the matter is: “one’slife does not consist in the abundance of possessions.”To illustrate that point, Jesus told a story. The stories

Jesus told were often provocative, sometimes humor-ous, always interesting. This one is no exception.

Then Jesus told them a parable: ‘The land of a rich manproduced abundantly. And he thought to himself, “Whatshould I do, for I have no place to store my crops?”

Luke 12:16-17

If any of you have ever lived on a farm or in a farmingcommunity you will know that it is not every year thatthe land produces abundantly. Some years, theweather is unsuitable. Other years, there are plaguesof locusts, caterpillars, slugs, etc. And of course thereare years in which the commodity prices are being ma-nipulated by some invisible hand, and even thoughthere is a bumper crop, the income from it is meagre.So to have a really good year... why, that doesn't comealong very often. In this particular case, the crop wasso abundant that the farmer lacked sufficient storage.So this man now has some options. 1. He could distrib-ute the excess to needy neighbours 2. He could throwa huge party and invite everyone including the needyneighbours or 3....

Then he said, “I will do this: I will pull down my barnsand build larger ones, and there I will store all my grainand my goods. And I will say to myself, “Self, you haveample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink,be merry.”

Luke 12:18-19

One would have thought that this would be a no-brainer. Either of option 1 or 2 would be acceptable.Option 3, the one he chose, simply has no future.

But God said to him, “You fool! This very night your lifeis being demanded of you. And the things you haveprepared, whose will they be?”

Luke 12:20

Grace and Peace to all of us.

Due to the lack of trail permits sold last season, the NakinaSno Club did not qualify to renew its’ membership as aClub operating within the Ontario Federation of Snowmo-bile Clubs. Therefore it was necessary to donate the fundsremaining in the “permit account” to another non-profitassociation. It was decided by the members of the NakinaSno Club to divide thoses funds between the two remain-ing operating Clubs in the Greenstone region.

OPEN LETTER TOCONSTITUENTSON MP SURGERYBruce Hyer to take temporary hiatusfrom full MP duties for required careTHUNDER BAY – Independ-ent Member of ParliamentBruce Hyer is issuing the fol-lowing open letter to con-stituents in ThunderBay-Superior North:

Dear Constituents,

I work for you, so I want toshare the following.

As you may recall, threeyears ago, I received treat-ments for a cancer, andthey were successful.

After World War II, roughlyone in seven Canadianscould expect to developcancer in their lifetime, usu-ally when older. Today, oneout of every two men, andone out of every threewomen, can expect a brushwith cancer, and often atyounger and younger ages.There are few families thathave not had a close rela-tive who has experiencedcancer.

Recently, I was diagnosedwith a tumour on my

tongue, which will be re-moved surgically this weekin Ottawa. This will be fol-lowed by a period of heal-ing.

The prognosis is good, andI expect to be back at worksoon, although the doctorstell me that my speech maybe hindered for a while. Re-gardless, you will be able tocontact me atbruce@brucehyer.ca as be-fore.

I know that my wonderfulstaff will continue to serveyou well, both Vicki andShannon in Thunder Bay,and Andy and Patty in Ot-tawa.

I look forward to returningto serving you as soon aspossible.

Bruce HyerIndependent Member

of Parliament,Thunder Bay-Superior

Posting on Facebook that you’ve just robbed a conven-ience store isn’t the brightest idea in the world.But apparently that’s just what one alleged crook didafter a Mac’s Convenience store on Simpson Street wasrobbed.Police, acting on a tip, obtained a search warrant for thesuspect’s residence, seized evidence and asked for anarrest warrant as the suspect was not at home at thetime.Nineteen-year-old Travis Jacob Loon turned himself intopolice on Sunday morning. He’s been charged with rob-bery, possession of a prohibited weapon and two countsof breach of probation.Loon has been remanded to the district jail after a courtappearance on Monday. None of the allegations havebeen proven in a court of llaw.By Leith Dunick, tbnewswatch.com

Family CARE Grants AnnouncedThunder Bay, ON – 2013began with some excite-ment at the Health SciencesCentre. Today, the HealthSciences Foundation andVolunteer Association to theHealth Sciences Centre dis-tributed $65,000 to 42Family CARE (Care Ad-vancements Recom-mended by Employees)Grants. The grants were re-

quested by staff at theHealth Sciences Centre tofund items that enhancethe exceptional care of-fered to each patient andtheir family.

Family CARE Grants beganin 2009 and grew in 2011as a partnership wasformed between the HealthSciences Foundation andVolunteer Association.Thanks to the partnership,$65,000 was available thisyear for ideas brought for-ward by staff at the HealthSciences Centre. It’s noeasy task to decide how toallocate the funds – thisyear alone saw over$109,000 in requests.Barry Streib, a Family CAREGrant Committee Memberand Health Sciences Foun-dation Board Member re-marked, “It was a bitoverwhelming to see all theapplications, but once wehad a chance to readthrough them, it was inspir-ing to see how simplethings could make a big dif-ference.”

The Volunteer Associationprovides $30,000 to sup-port the popular program.“We’re delighted to be apart of the Family CAREGrants,” said DoloresMechtab, Volunteer Associ-ation Board President. “It’sencouraging to help raisethe funds and see first-handwhere they are spent.”Mechtab enjoyed her sec-ond year on the GrantCommittee. “It was an eye-opening experience for melast year. Each applicantmakes a compelling case.We could have spent thebudget in just a few min-utes but did our best to im-pact as many areas of theHealth Sciences Centre aspossible.”

To ensure that the grantshave a significant impact,each application requires aPatient and Family Advisor’sendorsement along withthat of a Manager and Ex-ecutive Vice President.

Connor Ferguson, one ofthe youngest Patient andFamily Advisors at theHealth Sciences Centre was

excited to help with appli-cations again this year.Specifically, he endorsedthe grant application fortwo new wagons for thePaediatric inpatient unit; anoption for young patients tomove through the HealthSciences Centre. “The wag-ons for Paediatrics makethings a little less scary andmake kids feel special. It re-ally helps when they’regoing for surgery or tests,”he said. Kathy Macdonald,Child Life Specialist and re-cipient of the grant ex-plained, “Offering patientsa choice of how to get totests or surgery helps in-volve them in their care. It’svery important.”

Since 2009, over 100 Fam-ily CARE Grant initiativeshave been funded at theHealth Sciences Centre.“We’re proud of the careprovided here and thrilledwith the creativity of ouremployees in generatinggrant ideas” said AndreéRobichaud, President andCEO of the Health SciencesCentre. “The Family CAREGrants are a wonderfulway to support our Patientand Family Centred envi-ronment and we are grate-ful to the Health SciencesFoundation and VolunteerAssociation for their ongo-ing commitment to this pro-gram.”

“Donors can be proud ofthe investments they aremaking in improving carefor all of us,” said GlennCraig, President and CEO ofthe Health Sciences Foun-dation. “The Family CAREgrants provide the littlethings that make a big dif-ference to patient care.”

Some of the items makinga difference in 2013 thanksto the 2012 Family CAREGrants include: a blanketwarmer for Diagnostic Im-aging, improving patientcomfort; high-back chairsfor patients and visitors; abench outside the main en-trance to compliment theindoor benches providedby the 2011 Family CAREGrants; and teaching mod-els for Rehabilitation to usewith patients and families.

In a landmark ruling, theHonourable Michael L.Phelan delivered equalityto over 600,000 ofCanada’s Aboriginal peo-ple through its decision inDaniels v. the Queen. Thishistorical decision affirmedthe position of the Con-gress of Aboriginal Peo-ples for the past 41 yearsthat that Metis and Non-Status are Indians undersubsection 91 (24) of theConstitution Act, 1867.

“This is an historical step toend the discrimination andthe denial of AboriginalTreaty and birthrights thathas existed for far too longamong Métis and Non-Status Indians,” statedCongress of AboriginalPeoples National Chief,Betty Ann Lavallee, CD,(Rtd). “Métis and Non-Sta-tus Indians have alwaysfaced the same challengesas other Aboriginal peoplein Canada. With this ruling,we hope to enter into con-structive and practical talkswith the federal govern-ment to improve the self-worth, dignity, pride andhuman potential of off-re-serve Metis and Non-Sta-tus Indians.”

Launched over thirteenyears ago, in 1999, by thelate Harry Daniels and theCongress of AboriginalPeoples, the case chal-lenged the federal govern-ment’s denial that:

1. Métis and non-status In-dians are Indians undersubsection 91(24) of theConstitution Act, 1867;

2. The Crown owes toMétis and non-status In-dians a fiduciary duty asAboriginal peoples; and,

3. Aboriginal people havea right to be negotiatedwith, on a collectivebasis, in good faith withthe Crown.

Congress representativenoted that they werepleased with Judge Phe-lan’s ruling, which was theculmination of over 13years of legal wrangling bythe Department of Justice. “The federal Department ofJustice tried very hard tohave this case thrown outin order to stop us fromachieving this importantvictory for all Métis andNon- Status Indians inCanada,” noted CongressNational Vice -Chief, RonSwain. “The reality is thatour position has alwaysbeen consistent, in that,Métis and Non-Status Indi-ans are Indians under sub-section 91 (24) of theConstitution Act, 1867.”With the court ruling, theCongress says it is lookingforward and preparing towork with the federal gov-ernment on practical solu-tions to improveoff-reserve Aboriginal Peo-ples lives.

“I am pleased with the de-cision and the clear mes-sage sent by the presidingjudge,” concluded ChiefLavallee. “It is now time todo the right thing, andmove beyond these 13years of legal battles byaccepting this court’s deci-sion, rather than appealingand spending even moretaxpayer’s money. We are

eager to work with PrimeMinister Harper, who wealready have a goodworking relationship with.I believe, if the Prime Min-ister were to move towardsdiscussions and negotia-tions rather than litigation,he would then be recog-

nized as the Prime Ministerwho had the “courage” tostop the endless discrimi-nation that Off- ReserveAboriginal Peoples havefaced throughout history.” Since 1971, the Congressof Aboriginal Peoples (For-merly known as the Native

Council of Canada) hasbeen the National Repre-sentative Organizationand the National Voice forthe constituency and theiraffiliate organizationsmaking up the Congress’family of advocates for theOff-Reserve, Non-Statusand Status Indians andMétis Aboriginal Peoplesliving in urban, rural re-mote and isolated areasthroughout Canada.

HOMEOWNERSGUIDE TO

SAVING MONEYTHIS JANUARY

With the last of the hol-iday leftovers eaten, giftsopened and decorationspacked up, Ontarians arebracing themselves forthe annual onslaught ofholiday bills.

With waistlines andbudgets stretched,there’s no better time ofyear to make some sim-ple changes that will helpreduce monthly housingcosts and add value toyour home.According to Ron Abra-

ham, president of the On-tario Real EstateAssociation, “January inparticular is a fantastictime to make some sim-ple and inexpensivechanges that will not onlyhelp line your pockets inthe short term, but willadd to the value of yourhome in the long run.” Abraham’s tips to beat-

ing January bills aroundthe house:• Fill the gaps – With 40per cent of home heatloss in winter due to airleakage, keep heat inyour home by installingweather-stripping andcaulking around win-dows . Also, considerreplacing old windowswith new energy effi-cient options (look forthe Energy Rating) be-fore next winter.

• Go low-flow – To reducewater consumption, re-place older modelshowerheads and toi-lets with low-flow mod-els – your utility bills andthe earth will thank you!

• Warm up the old-fash-ioned way – Instead ofcranking up the heat oncold winter nights, useflannel sheets (whichare warmer than cottonsheets) and add downduvets to stay toasty.

• Unplug electronics andsmall appliances –Computers, cell phone

chargers, and otherelectronics often usepower and radiate heateven when turned off.Try plugging items intoa power strip that youcan use as masterswitch.

• Save on home insur-ance – By installing analarm system, deadboltlocks and proper smokeand carbon monoxidedetectors, you canlower the cost of yourhome insurance andgive yourself someextra piece of mind.

• Install LED light bulbs –These bulbs may costmore initially, but theyhave a much longer lifethan normal incandes-cent bulbs and use farless electricity – LEDsonly use about 2% ofthe electricity of incan-descents!

• Install a programmablethermostat – These de-vices regulate the tem-perature in your homeautomatically, accordingto the schedule you set.When you’re at work,away, etc. the heat goesoff, easily cutting yourenergy bill.

• Rent out unused space– Do you have extraroom that’s not beingused? Consider rentingit out; or, if you haveadult children living withyou, make sure they arecontributing to monthlycosts.

“Homeowners can bene-fit hugely by makingthese changes and in-creasingly, buyers are at-tuned to the importanceof purchasing an efficienthome, so talk to your Re-altor about what you cando to save money now,while keeping in mindwhat may be appealing tofuture buyers,” saysAbraham.
