If you have your birth certificate in a closet, your will in a drawer, and stock certificates tucked away in a book somewhereon a shelf, then this checklist is for you. No matter how organized you think you are, without the proper planning, youare only one disaster away from chaos. A little time and energy up front can save you tremendous headaches and finan-cial hardship during emergency situations.

Critical Document ChecklistWhether you decide to rent a safe deposit box or store your papers at home in a lock box or personal safe, the following loosely categorized list is a starting point to help get them organized:

Financial records• Bonds • Deeds on property • Household inventory including active

account numbers and registrations of valuable equipment including firearms, electronics, computers, and software

• Insurance policies • Investment certificates including stocks

and mutual funds • Loan records • Vehicle titles• Photocopies of front & back of credit cards;

licenses

Legal papers• Child support agreements/custody arrangements • Copyrights, patents and inventions • Divorce decree and settlement • Inheritance records • Living trusts • Living wills • Powers of attorney • Wills*

*If you store a will in a safe deposit box, make sure that atrusted family member or the executor of your will has right ofaccess to your box. Otherwise, getting access to your will afteryour death could be unnecessarily difficult.

• Death certificates • Diplomas • Immunization records

• Military records and discharge papers • Passports • Original social security cards

• Birth certificates • Marriage certificate • Baptism or confirmation

records

Securing documentsAside from the issue of a safe deposit box and your untimely demise without someone to access your will, there are

other considerations pertaining to safe deposit boxes you may want to consider. Read the rental agreement carefully. Youneed to make sure that your spouse, executor, or a trusted family member or friend knows how to get to your safe depositbox and retrieve its contents.

If you store your papers at home, a fireproof safe is your best bet and, if the worst happens, a wise investment. However,at the very least, it's sensible to organize your important documents and records for

speedy retrieval in one easily accessible location known to as few peo-ple as practical.

Disasters can happen anytime and anywhere. Andwhen disaster strikes, you may not have much time to respond. After a disaster, local officialsand relief workers will be on the scene, but they cannot reach everyone immediately. Youcould get help in hours, or it may take days. The best way to cope is to prepare for disasterbefore it strikes. One way to prepare is by assembling a Disaster Supplies Kit.

Water Store water in plastic containers such as soft drink bottles. Avoid using containersthat will decompose or break, such as milk cartons or glass bottles. A normally active personneeds to drink at least two quarts of water each day. Hot environments and intense physical activ-ity can double that amount. Children, nursing mothers and ill people will need more.

One gallon of water per person per day (2 quarts for drinking, 2 quarts for food)Keep at least a three-day supply of water for each person in your household.

Food Store at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food. Select foods that require no refrigeration, preparation or cooking and little or no water. Remember to include a can openerfor all of your canned goods. If you must heat food, pack a can of sterno. Select food items thatare compact and lightweight.

� Ready-to-eat canned meats � Fruits and vegetables� Canned juices, milk, soup� Staples – sugar, salt, pepper� High energy foods – peanut butter, trail mix

� Vitamins� Food for infants, elderly persons or

personal special diets� Comfort/stress foods – cookies, hard

candy, instant coffee, tea bags

NRanking CollegeCharacteristicsHow to decide which collegesoffer the educational andsocial experiences you areseeking requires someresearch. Here are somequestions to consider whenchoosing which colleges toapply to:

LocationDo you want to live in anurban, suburban, or ruralcampus? How far from homedo you want to live?

SizeHow big is the student popu-lation? What about class size?

Mix of studentsIs the college coed? Are therestudents from all over thecountry, with different back-grounds and experiences?

Academics Does the college offer pro-grams of study that interestyou?

ExtracurricularsDoes the college have thetypes and ranges of extracur-ricular activities you are inter-ested in?

Facilities Will you have access to labs,computing centers, andmusic, theater, or athleticfacilities?

Campus LifeWhat kinds of social eventsdoes the campus have?

CostWhat kind of financial aid willthe college provide?

Rural College CampusesRural colleges, usually nearwilderness areas, have educa-tional opportunities related toscience and nature. Going toa school with access to out-door facilities will give you achance for hands-on environ-

mental studies. Outdoor activities such asskiing, rock climbing, orfishing may be short tripsfrom the campus or evenon campus. Most rural schools providefree or cheap transportationfor college students.

Urban CollegeCampuses

Cities are centers of cul-ture, art, design, communi-cation, and manufacturing.Some are self-containedislands within a city, whileothers are spread over cityblocks. You’ll find opportu-nities for internships oractivities that can help youtest career paths, buildexperience, and get yourfoot in the door.

SuburbanCollege

CampusesSuburban schools usuallyoffer a taste of the city andcountry nearby, sinceyou’re close to both. Theyusually have their owncommunities with variousactivities and their ownculture.

FINANCIALAID

Financial aid is intended tomake up the differencebetween what your familycan afford to pay and whatcollege costs. The amountyour family is able to con-tribute is frequentlyreferred to as the ExpectedFamily Contribution. Thisis determined by whoeveris awarding the aid.

The Pink Paddock, a Lilly Pulitzer® Via Shop is

celebrating our new location at 358 Broadway.

When Pink Paddock opened in 2005, we hoped

Saratoga would embrace Lilly Pulitzer®. It was-

n’t long before our original 550 square foot store

was brimming with her signature prints. Saratoga loves Lilly Pulitzer just as much as

we do and while it took awhile, we have found the perfect spot on Broadway to show-

case Lilly just as she should be!!

“It started with a juice stand,” begins the Lilly Pulitzer story when the NY socialite

eloped with Peter Pulitzer and settled in Palm Beach. Looking for a hobby, she opened

a juice stand selling citrus and while her business was a hit, squeezing made a mess of

her clothes, so Lilly designed a dress to camouflage the stains. The result: A comfort-

able shift made of bright, colorful printed cotton in pink, green, yellow and orange–the

Classic Shift.

Soon Lilly was selling more shifts than juice and when Jackie Kennedy began wear-

ing Lilly, everyone wanted one. Throughout the '60s and '70s, Lilly's pink and green

colors became the uniform of the affluent at play and the banner of the resort lifestyle!

Come and see for yourself how a Colorful Life can be your lifestyle too!

A ‘greener’ home does not imply that everything has to go

and be replaced – on the contrary. The use of biodegradable

and non-toxic materials is ideal; yet there are some easy steps

you can implement right away that will make a difference.

Green living in our homes is largely about being mindful and

waste conscious.

Choose Natural Home Cleaners

Be aware that most traditional cleaning products (wood

floor and furniture sprays, carpet cleaners, laundry detergents,

dish soaps, silver and shoe polishes, etc.) contain toxic chem-

icals that not only pollute the air you breathe, but also end up

polluting our streams and water supplies. Look for products

with the Green Seal label.

Minimize Indoor Toxins

Unfortunately they can be found pretty much everywhere:

from carpets and flooring, wall and window treatments, to fur-

niture and counter tops – even in mattresses and pillows. They

are called VOC’s (volatile organic compounds). And they are

responsible for many allergies and asthma symptoms. They

are also found in air fresheners, room deodorizers and scented

candles.

Reduce Clutter, Organize, Recycle, Donate

Nothing is more soothing than an orderly home where

everything has a home for itself. If it’s not the case, consider

giving and/or storing things away in order to keep visual clut-

ter to a minimum. Clutter is a major energy drainer. It is

important to surround yourself with what you need and what

cate items,

archival materi-

als, over used or

un-used cloth-

ing, broken

recycled

Avoid Plastic

Found in bags, bottles, containers. They often leak BPA

(bisphenol A), a component used to make plastic goods

durable, clear, light weight and resistant to heat, and PVC

(polyvinyl chloride).

Glass, ceramic, bamboo and wood are safe and lasting (as

long as not chemically treated). Re-usable shopping bags are

the way to shop, the way to store, the way to reduce environmen-

tal toxic waste.

Use Natural Fibers

Consider carpets made of undyed wool, cork flooring, seagrass

and sisal rugs. Support the Forestry Stewardship Council by buy-

ing furniture and floors certified FSC (guarantees that the wood

was harvested from forests managed responsibly and sustain-

ably). Buy organic linens and towels (cotton, bamboo, hemp).

Enjoy Indoor Plants

They bring in life, growth and oxygen to your home. They

soften sharp edges and beautify. They also contribute to a clean-

er indoor air.

They will greatly benefit from the compost you can generate

from your own kitchen scraps.

Remember to Save Electricity

A power ‘smart’ strip will help as it turns itself off when it

senses that appliances are idle. Turn off lights in parts of your

house that are not occupied. Install dimmers. Draw the curtains

and blinds in the winter that will add insulation. In the warmer

months, open windows to create cross-ventilation and bring in

fresh air throughout the house – and minimize AC use.

Care

As any seasoned

Saratoga gardener

knows, growing and maintaining

a beautiful lawn takes consistent

work and vigilance. Without a green

thumb and a well planned work schedule, a lawn—or any

yardscape for that matter—can change rapidly from month to

month, let alone season to season.

Below are some easy steps you can follow for a greener and

easier to maintain lawn.

SpringGetting your mower ready: Start the lawn-care season by

taking care of your mower. Bring in your mower for service

in early spring. This helps you beat the rush so your mower is

in tip-top shape right when you need to use it. Be

sure to sharpen the blade at least once a

year.

Starting a new lawn from seed:

Though fall is the ideal time to

start a new lawn from seed, you

can also do it in spring. Don't wait

until late spring, though: Give your

lawn a chance to grow in and get

established before summer tempera-

tures arrive.

Attacking crabgrass: Because crabgrass and

other annual weeds need to sprout from seeds

each year, a well-timed application of pre-emer-

gence herbicide can do wonders for keeping

these pests at bay. Spread the pre-emergence her-

bicide as forsythia blooms in your area start to

drop.

Aerating: If your lawn doesn't grow well due

to compacted soil, springtime -- when your grass

is in active growth -- is a great time to aerate.

This loosens the soil, allowing grass roots to

reach deeper and the soil to absorb moisture bet-

ter.

Mowing: Start mowing once your grass reach-

es about 3 inches tall. It's best keep most turf

types in this region at least 2 inches tall -- this

helps the grass ward off weeds and withstand

summer drought.

Fertilizing: If you feed your lawn a couple of

times a year, a light application of lawn food in

early spring will help get your lawn off to a great

start. Keep it light, though, and use a slow-release

or organic fertilizer . Wait to fertilize until your

lawn needs mowing for the first time.

SummerControlling grubs: Attack grubs and keep

them from destroying your lovely lawn with a

E grub-control product that continues to work

throughout the season. Apply your grub

control in early June.

Mowing: Watch how your lawn grows.

During hot, dry periods, it may only need

mowing once every two or three weeks

(when the grass grows about 3 inches tall).

During cooler, moister periods, it may need

mowing twice a week.

Watering: It's fine to let your grass go

dormant during drought. It'll turn brown, but

it'll stay alive and then will go green and

start growing when the rains come again. If

you don't want a brown summer lawn, select

drought-tolerant types such as buffalo grass

or plan on giving your lawn about 1 inch of

water a week.

FallFertilizing: If you only fertilize your

lawn once a year, fall's the time to do it. In

fact, your lawn could take a light application

of fertilizer in early fall and again in late

fall.

Mowing: As temperatures cool, your

lawn will start growing faster: You'll likely

need to mow regularly through the end of

the season.

Cleaning up: For a healthy lawn, it's a

good idea to clean up fallen leaves. If you

don't want to rake up leaves, do several

passes over your lawn with a mulching

mower. You'll chop up the leaves into fine

pieces so they decompose and add to your

soil's structure. It's easier and also better for

the health of your lawn!

Overseeding: Most grasses in this region

grow and take best in cool temperatures,

making autumn the ideal time to overseed.

Give your new grass about a month before

your first average frost date so it can get

established.

Attacking perennial weeds: Most peren-

nial lawn weeds, such as dandelion and

creeping Charlie, are most susceptible to

spraying in fall when they're winding down

and getting ready for winter.

Aerating: Cooler autumn temperatures

mean your grass will start growing more

again -- so it's a great time to aerate to

loosen compacted soil.

ERChoking Prevention and First Aid for Infants and ChildrenWhen children begin crawling or eating table foods, parents must be aware of the dangers and risks of choking. Olderinfants and children less than 5 years of age can easily choke on food and small objects. Choking occurs when food orsmall objects get caught in the throat and block the airway. This prevents oxygen from getting to the lungs and the brain.When the brain goes without oxygen for more than four minutes, brain damage or even death may occur. Many childrendie from choking each year. Most children who choke to death are younger than 5 years of age. Two thirds of choking vic-tims are infants younger than 1 year of age. The American Academy of Pediatrics believes that parents and other caregiverscan prevent choking. The Academy offers the following choking prevention and first aid information for parents and care-givers of infants and children. Balloons, balls, marbles, pieces of toys, and foods cause the most choking deaths.

Dangerous FoodsDo not feed children younger than 4 years of age any round,firm food unless it is chopped completely. Round, firm foodsare common choking dangers. When infants and young chil-dren do not grind or chew their food well, they may attempt toswallow it whole. The followingfoods can be choking hazards:

• Hot dogs• Nuts and seeds• Chunks of meat or cheese• Whole grapes• Hard, gooey, or sticky candy• Popcorn• Chunks of peanut butter• Raw vegetables• Raisins• Chewing gum

Dangerous Household ItemsKeep the following household items away from infants and children:• Latex balloons

NER • Coins

• Marbles• Toys with small parts• Toys that can be compressed to fit entirely into a

child’s mouth• Small balls• Pen or marker caps• Small button-type batteries• Medicine syringes

What You Can Do To Prevent Choking• Learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)

(basic life support).• Be aware that balloons pose a choking risk to children

of any age.• Insist that children eat at the table, or at least while

sitting down. They should never run, walk, play, or liedown with food in their mouths.

• Cut food for infants and young children into pieces nolarger than one-half inch and teach them to chew theirfood well.

• Supervise mealtime for infants and young children.• Be aware of older children’s actions. Many choking

incidents occur when older brothers or sisters give dangerous foods, toys, or small objects to a youngerchild.

• Avoid toys with small parts and keep other small household items out of reach of infants and young children.

• Follow the age recommendations on toy packages. Ageguidelines reflect the safety of a toy based on any possible choking hazard as well as the child’s physicaland mental abilities at various ages.

• Check under furniture and between cushions for smallitems that children could find and put in their mouths.

• Do not let infants and young children play with coins.

Call Today!Contact your American Red Cross office or the AmericanHeart Association to find out about classes offered in yourarea. Most of the classes teach basic first aid, CPR, andemergency prevention along with what to do for a chokinginfant or child.

REATIO

Supporters of farmers' markets world-wide feel that since locally-grown,

naturally produced meat and produce does not travel as far to get to the “point of purchase,”

the difference in mileage saves fossil fuels, allows consumers to buy the freshest possible

produce and creates a better bond between sustainably-managed farms and the local com-

munity.

The Saratoga community couldn't agree more… What started as a small, grass roots

effort in the spring of 1978 to bring the products of 7-8 local vendors to the streets of down-

town Saratoga Springs has grown into a highly acclaimed farmers' market association with

over 55 vendors, it's own web presence, year-round location and loyal supporters.

As well as the Saratoga Farmers' Market Association sites, there are now “farmers' mar-

kets” popping up in parks and parking lots all over Saratoga County. For a way to buy

locally grown produce, scratch-made baked goods and foods, hand-crafted items by local

artisans, enjoy the sense of community one gets while “going to the market” and help pro-

mote small family farms, please visit one of our local farmers' markets.
