Isn’t it funny how so many
times we can become so fix-
ated with our own misfor-
tunes that we neglect to
remember it could be worse?
While I’m sitting at my desk
worrying about business or fam-
ily issues, I am failing to recog-
nize everything I am blessed
with in that moment…i.e. I’m
breathing. We like to focus on
the things that get us down and
in many ways we allow those
things to ruin our days, our
relationships, even our lives.
Meanwhile we forget that
things can always be worse and
that we need to be counting
the blessings that we do have,
no matter how barebones.
I had an aunt who would
seem to be the very imperson-
ation of “the worst.” Aunt
Teddy was diagnosed with
rheumatoid arthritis more than
two decades ago. The arthritis
destroyed her body in such a
way that she was literally twist-
ed. She was permanently bed-
ridden and in constant pain.
For the better part of 15 years,
the only pure daylight she was
able to see was on her rare visit
to the doctors. Before her body
had begun failing, she truly was
a ray of sunshine herself to all
those around her. Aunt Teddy
shared everything, from her
shore house to anything else
she had.
Every holiday my kids and
I traveled to see Aunt Teddy.
After climbing the steps of her
two-family house, we entered
to find this poor incapacitated
woman curled up on a recliner.
Though she knew exactly who

The question is: What
should I do with my
portfolio now? Should
the headline of this column
answer that question effec-
tively and definitively? After
all, the stock market has risen
constantly since the demise of
2008 with no major correc-
tions as of late. Does this
mean that a correction, pull-
back or crash is imminent?
The US stock market’s most
recent down years in reverse
order were: 2008, 2002, 2001,
2000, 1994, 1990 and 1987.
Might 2015 be next? Is there a
pattern to be derived from
these dates and if so, should
you take any action as not to
have your portfolio scarred byanother negative year? In
other words my question real-
ly is, can anyone actually and
successfully time the stock
market to know exactly when
to get out or into the market
in order to buy at the low and
sell at the high?
Market-timing has been
tried many times before with
many pundits claiming suc-
cess, were these people skilled,
have the “crystal ball”, just
lucky, or did they understand
and follow a pattern? Well,
sorry to disappoint, there real-
ly is no exact pattern or way
to actually determine when
the next “Big Crash” or “Huge
Run-up” will occur. Educated
guesses? Plenty, for sure, but
there must be a better way to
win in the wealth accumula-tion game and in my opinion
there is! It’s not sexy, flashy or
headline grabbing, but, it
works when applied and prac-
ticed. Best part is, everyone
can participate in the strategy
regardless of your net-worth,
current age or level of invest-
ment. Though not a guaran-
tee, the facts speak for them-
selves derived from thousands
of investors, if not millions of
them, throughout the country.
The greatest asset in the
accumulation of wealth is not
how much money you start
with, but rather how much
time you have to invest and
the frequency you add to it.
Generally speaking, little
sums of money invested prop-
erly and consistently over a
large span of time will turn
into a very large sum of
money. So what is this properinvestment to accomplish
this? I’ll tell you! The answer
is not to search for the next
Apple computer, Google or
IBM before that. No, that
would be as difficult as choos-
ing the best time to buy or
sell. We’ve determined so far
that most of us don’t know
when the best time to buy
shares would be nor the right
company shares to purchase
either. Equally the over-
whelming majority of stock
brokers don’t know the
answer to these two questions
either, therefore who does?
I’m afraid the answer is no one
knows, though there are lots
of opinions and financial
newsletters and magazines to
persuade you to purchase their
picks for sure. The question
remains, how can one build a
successful retirement portfoliowith little knowledge and
money?
The answer is to hire the
finest money management
talent in the industry to be
your investment team, give
them your money and let
them make the daily decisions
of what and when to buy and
sell with a mutual goal of
growing the portfolio. Your
obligation, is simply to invest
with them every week to ten
days giving them the capital
they need to structure, build
and grow your portfolio.
However, there is a problem:
as a single investor with very
little to invest, you probably
couldn’t attract the most tal-
ented portfolio management
staff. Solution: if you pooled
your dollars with thousands of
other people with the identi-
cal financial goals, surely youcould do it. The management
would be directed not to put
more than 5% of the assets
into any one security and not
to deviate from the stated
objective of growth of capital
for example. The manager(s)
would be obligated to choose
from a varying array of indus-
tries, companies, countries
and currencies to avoid over
exposure in one area or region
and the associated risk of loss.
Further, management must
maintain the ability to liqui-
date any portion of the portfo-
lio on demand in case of
shareholder liquidity needs.
(Shares to be sold at market
value of course.)
By consistently investing
as little as $100 a month or
$50 a week from thousands of investors over the many
months, quarters and years
ahead, through the good and
bad times that will present
themselves on the road to
prosperity, financial success
should be achieved! There is a
two word description of this
type of investment vehicle
with a myriad of variations
that some call the “perfect
investment opportunity”.
That name is a “Mutual
Fund!” I believe that every-
one needs to understand how
these fine financial vehicles
operate, but, more important-
ly, how to wisely choose and
use just a few of the thousands
of mutual funds available for
long-term wealth accumula-
tion. Perhaps the headline of
this week’s column shouldread: Buy! Buy! Buy! And
never stop buying!

we were, we each found our-
selves having to verbally con-
firm our presence. “Hey Aunt
Teddy. It’s Joey.” Even as diffi-
cult as it was to see throughher sickly disposition, there
was always joy in her eyes
when we came to visit her. But
the one thing that always
stuck out to me during our vis-
its was her answer to the age-
old question: “How are you
doing?” She would always
smile and reply, “It could be
worse!”
Imagine that! Com-
pletely incapacitated, com-
pletely de-pendent and filled
with pain, and still it could be
worse! What an attitude to
have. Aunt Teddy was one of
the few people for whom I’d
say it couldn’t get much
worse. Yet still, there she was
visit after visit declaring her
blessings and claiming that
things could be worse.
Think about it…
Today, right now I ask
you to think about all the
things that are good in yourlife. Reflect on them and give
thanks. You may say, “Joe,
believe me there is nothing to
smile about.” The fact that
you still have breath in your
lungs means that today is the
day everything can change.
Hey, it’s a choice. Make the
right one! Still need convinc-
ing? Google a gentlemen
named Nick Vujicic. If you do,
I think you might feel differ-
ently.

Developing strong and
healthy relationships
with pets requires
that pet owners provide for
their pets in a variety of ways.
Although affection and exer-
cise are essential elements to
raising a well-rounded pet,
owners should not overlook
one of the most important
parts of pet care: discipline.
Well-trained pets can be
a joy to be around. The
American Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals says learning how to
train a dog can improve the
life of the pet and the life of
the owner, enhancing the
bond between the owner and
the dog while ensuring the
pet’s safety. Many dogs are
eager to learn and will
embrace their training.
Dogs have special needs
and instincts, communicating
in ways separate from humans.
When a puppy is brought into
a home, both puppy and
owner must adapt to each
other. Humans must learn to
communicate effectively in a
language that a dog will com-prehend, while dogs must
learn to fit into the human
world and refocus some
behaviors that may not be
appropriate in a home setting.
Pet owners have various
training methods at their dis-
posal. Pet owners can find
many resources in the library,
at pet care centers, or online.
No matter which training
method pet owners choose,
the most effective are those
that reward good behavior so
that dogs will be more
inclined to repeat that behav-
ior over and over. Bad behav-
ior should not be punished,
but there should be conse-
quences. The ASPCA says
dogs live in the moment andcannot make connections
between events and past expe-
riences. Therefore, praise or
consequence has to happen
immediately for the notion to
be reinforced. If the dog sits
on command, she should be
given a treat or a good amount
of praise. If she is nipping
while playing, the owner
should stop the play so that
the fun ends immediately.
Training also requires
consistency. Anyone involved
in the training and interac-
tion with the pet should be
following the same set of
guidelines. If a behavior isworthy of praise, it should be
offered each and every time. If
the dog jumps up on a greet-
ing and that is discouraged,
every person she jumps up on
should correct the behavior.
All it takes is one person to
pet the dog when she is doing

something wrong to confuse
the animal.
It’s also important to
consider the dog’s tempera-
ment during training. Certainbreeds tend to be more docile
or dominant than others.
Training methods may need
to be adapted based on the
demeanor of the dog. Owners
who have a stubborn, willful
dog on their hands may need
firmer, more consistent meas-
ures. A dog who is more
amenable may be trained easi-
ly with food-based rewards.
Finding the training balancecan take time and patience.
Dogs who are trained as
puppies will learn good
behavior right away and be
less likely to adopt bad habits.
But dogs can be trained at any
age. Older dogs may just
require a little more effort.
Training tends to be most
effective when it is short and
fun for pets and their owners.
Dogs do not have long atten-
tion spans, so many trainers
recommend that training ses-
sions last no longer than 15minutes. Commands should
be to the point and not cloud-
ed with a lot of language. For
example, “sit,” “stay,” “down”
and “off” will get the point
across.
Try practicing the train-
ing in different environments
and scenarios. This way the
dog will behave whether at
home or in a friend’s back-
yard. Use rewards that are tiedto the event and what the dog
may find most attractive at
that point. A hungry dog may
respond to food treats. A dog
looking to play may appreci-
ate a game of catch as a
reward.
If training doesn’t seem
to be working, try a few differ-
ent options. Some pet owners
find they need help training
their dogs. In addition to
informative literature and
training videos, dog trainers
are readily available. Classescan be scheduled privately,
and many pet centers offer
group classes to interested pet
owners. The success rate of
training classes and the social-
ization that these training
opportunities offer often justi-
fies the financial and time
investments required to
attend classes.
The American Veter-
inary Society of AnimalBehavior emphasizes the
importance of starting a puppy
in training, including training
classes before all vaccinations
have been completed. Data
supports a lower risk of trans-
mission of disease in puppy
socialization classes over the
last 10 years. Lack of full
immunizations should not be
reason alone to keep pups out
of important training classes.
Pet owners should know
that not all behaviors can be
stopped. Rather than punishthe dog for every natural
behavior, try to find accept-
able ways to channel those
instincts into something safe.
A dog who likes to chew
should be given plenty of toys.
Dogs who are naturally active
should be given adequate
amounts of time to run out-
side. Highly intelligent breeds
may benefit from agility train-
ing or even learning assistancetechniques.
A veterinarian can usu-
ally provide resources on ani-
mal trainers in the area. Look
to work with Certified
Professional Dog Trainers
(CPDTs) and Certified
Applied Animal Behaviorists
(CAABs)

According to the
United States Depart-
ment of Health and
Human Services, children and
adolescents should engage in
physical activity for 60 minutes
or more each day. While fulfill-
ing those requirements might
not have been a problem for
kids who grew up before the
dawn of the Internet, nowa-
days kids are spending less
time playing outside and more
time on their computers or
other devices.
That reality is problemat-
ic for parents who want their
kids to embrace physical activ-
ity thanks to the positive
impact that exercise can have
on kids’ physical and mental
well-being. Parents hoping to
instill a love of physical activi-
ty in their youngsters may find
that taking a more active role
by exercising with their kids isan effective way to get them off
the couch and away from their
computer screens.
Turn errands into exercise
opportunities. Many parents
take their children along with
them when running errands.
When such errands don’t nec-
essarily require the use of a
car, consider riding bicycles
instead. Kids who otherwisedon’t enjoy errands may now
find them more fun, all the
while fulfilling their daily rec-
ommended quotas for exercise
and spending quality time with
their parents.
Include kids in your own
athletic pursuits. Parents might
not be able to take younger
kids along with them to the
gym, but that does not mean
your youngsters must beexcluded from all of your ath-
letic pursuits. If you have any
upcoming athletic activities or
challenges on your schedule,
such as a new recreational
sports season or community funrun or 5K, let kids tag along as
you train or practice. Parents of
adolescents can inquire at their
local gyms if they offer dis-
counted memberships to teens.
If so, take kids along with you

on trips to the gym so they
learn the value and benefits of
daily strength and conditioning
exercises.
Make more time to play.
Parents may already have busy
schedules, but finding time to
play with their kids is a great
way to get youngsters to
embrace physical activity. Kids
might be reluctant to shoothoops in the driveway if no one
is willing to join them, but they
will likely be far more willing to
do so if mom and dad are will-
ing to play with them. This is
not only a good way for parents
to ensure their kids get enough
exercise, but also a great and
fun way for moms and dads to
make time for physical activity.
Recognize that physical
activity does not have to mean
organized sports. Some kids
have no interest in team sports
while others do not have the
athletic ability to compete after
a certain age. Parents who
want their kids to exercise
more should recognize that
there are plenty of ways to be
physically active that do not
involve organized team sports.
Hiking; riding bicycles; swim-
ming at a nearby pool, lake or
ocean; and even going for
nightly walks are all physical
activities that people of all ages
and athletic abilities can enjoy.
Physical activity is an
important component of a
healthy lifestyle. While getting
kids to put down their tablets
and gaming system remote
controls may not be easy, par-
ents who resolve to exercise
with their children might find
their youngsters more receptive
to regular physical activity.

space effectively can free upareas on the floor for larger
equipment.
Shelving, racks, peg-
boards and any other materials
that enable you to hang or
store items off the floor are
good investments. Visit your
nearby home improvementretailer to find items that can
simplify your storage. You also
may be able to put scrap wood
to use to make your own stor-
age shelves or a work bench.
Extra kitchen cabinets can be
installed in the shed to organ-
ize additional items.In order to remember
where items go, label or sort
them accordingly. Some people
like to take organization a step
further by tracing the outline of
tools hung on the wall so they
can be placed back in the same
spot after use. This also servesas a visual reminder of which
tools are missing and which
ones need to be purchased.
Don’t forget to utilize
shed doors as additional storage
space. Hang frequently used
tools, such as rakes and shovels,
on the inside of the doors sothey will always be easily acces-
sible.
You also can repurpose
storage solutions designed for
other areas of the home. For
example, magnetic knife hold-
ers can be mounted to a shed
wall to keep paintbrushesorganized. These holders also
can be used to keep many small
metal tools tidy. Metal funnels
can hold twine and string.

Mother Nature pro-
vides plenty to grow
healthy lawns, gar-
dens and landscapes. But as
many homeowners know,
some lawns sometimes need a
little extra boost to comple-ment nature. Soil sometimes
must be amended so plants
can thrive. Only after the
right composition is created
can plants take root and
perform to the best of their
abilities.
The Colorado State
University Extension defines a
soil amendment as any materi-
al added to soil to improve itsphysical properties. The goal is
to provide a better environ-
ment for roots. Depending on
what you are starting with, any
number of ingredients must be
added to the soil recipe. Water
retention, permeability, drain-
age, aeration, nutrients, andwater infiltration are some of
the things amendments can
improve when added to soil.
Before homeowners add
anything to the soil in their
yards, it is first important to
determine what that soil
needs. Homeowners may
notice if soil is overly sandy or
full of clay, but further testing
can confirm what the soil islacking. Soil tests are often
available through local coop-
erative extension offices or
private laboratories. Speak
with a nursery or gardencenter
about where you can get your
soil tested. A comprehensive
test may cost between $5 and$10 and can provide invalu-
able information that saves
you hundreds of dollars in
wasted plants and materials,
not to mention effort. Some
labs also can tailor their rec-
ommendations based on the
type of planting you will be
doing. For example, a veg-
etable garden may need differ-
ent amendments than a row of azalea bushes.
Organic matter is a pre-
ferred soil amendment used by
professional and novice gar-
deners alike. The decaying
remains of plants release
nutrients that are absorbed
into the soil and used bymicroorganisms and bacteria,
creating a healthy environ-
ment for plants. Organic
material may break up com-
pacted soil to increase
drainage. In sandy soil, organ-
ic material serves as a sponge
to keep water from washing
away. Compost and manure
are two examples of frequent-
ly used organic materials.Both of these materials are
readily available at little cost.
Compost can be pro-
duced at home from food and
plant scraps. Raked leaves and
small amounts of grass clip-
pings can be added to compost.
Over time, the decompositionprocess will turn scraps into a
nutrient-rich, dark brown sub-
stance that provides many
plants with all they need to
thrive. Compost is particularly
useful in vegetable gardens.
Manure should come
from herbivores, or those ani-
mals that sustain themselves
on grass and other plants.
Carnivores can produce harm-ful bacteria in their waste,
which is not safe to use in gar-
dens, particularly food-bear-
ing gardens. Manure can be
commercially purchased, or
avid gardeners can work out
arrangements with nearby
livestock owners and farms.These people may be more
than willing to give you
manure for little to no cost if
you cart it away. Dried manure
is preferred because it will
have minimal odor.
Additional forms of
organic amendments include
wood ash, sphagnum peat,
wood chips, sawdust, and
worm droppings.
