W

ith the holidays in full swing, our attention at home naturally turns to the kitchen. The center of our homes, the kitchen is often the busiest room in the house. So it’s only natural that if we look to make any home improvements this time of year, our first thought is that our kitchens could use a little “sprucing up.”

So many people are redoing their countertops these days. Granite and even quartz countertops are growing more affordable, and their durability can’t be beat. However, I often caution people against adding new countertops if their cabinetry is in sad shape, as eventually the cabinets will have to be replaced as well, and it just does not make sense to spend the money on counters if their cabinetry will not last for at least another 10 years. If this is the case with your kitchen, then my advice is to wait, do it properly and save for both new cabinets and countertops.

You will not regret spending the extra money to have a whole new kitchen, even if it means a year or two longer with the old one!

However, if the cabinetry is solid and still functions properly (i.e. doors and drawers open and close nicely and the overall layout is acceptable), then a countertop upgrade is merited. If the cabinets still function and are solid but appear worn or dirty, then sometimes it can be a good idea to have them painted or

refinished. However, if they are in good shape and clean but just “dated,” often just the addition of pretty hardware is all that’s needed to bring the cabinetry up to our current standards.

Another upgrade option might include cabinets and laminate countertops that are still in relatively good shape but have a worn, water-stained wood backsplash that we find in so many houses from the ‘80s and ‘90s. In this case, an easy fix would be to remove the old wooden splash and replace it with some great hard-wearing tile that doesn’t break the bank and ties the whole look together. A qualified tile installer can have this done in as little as a day or two with minimal disturbance to the rest of the kitchen.

Flooring works especially hard in a kitchen, taking a beating from spills, dishes dropping, trash going in and out, dish water, etc. There are some great new LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank) products out there that can go right over existing sheet vinyl, worn hardwood or even tile, that can add a layer of durability and beauty to any decorating scheme. They usually go in quickly and easily, and this is an upgrade that can be done in as little as a day!

My advice: Take stock of your kitchen, look around honestly and ask yourself what needs to be replaced, what can stay and what needs a little tweak to make it just right for you and your loved ones this holiday season. And always, if in doubt, contact a professional. Most of us are trained to take stock of what you already have while taking your wish list into account and come up with a game plan to make your dream kitchen a reality.

one of us can completely control all the things that happen to us. Yet, when it comes to achieving your long-term financial goals, including a comfortable retirement, you do have a great deal of power—as long as you follow a clear, well-defined financial strategy. And one way to help build and maintain such a strategy is by consolidating your financial accounts.

Over the course of their lives, many people pick up a variety of financial accounts from multiple sources. They might have a few IRAs from different providers, a couple of old 401(k) plans from past employers, an insurance policy (or two) purchased many years ago, and a scattershot of stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit and other investments.

If this picture describes your situation, you may want to think about consolidating.

For one thing, having a variety of accounts can run up a lot of fees. Furthermore, you’ll have lots of paperwork to keep track of all your accounts, including several different tax statements. Plus, just by having so many accounts, you risk forgetting about some of them—and if you don’t think you’d ever forget about your own money, consider this: Well over $40 billion in unclaimed cash and property, including 401(k)s, pensions and IRAs, is awaiting return to the rightful owners, according to the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators.

But beyond reducing your possible fees, paperwork and potential for lost assets, consolidating your accounts with one provider can give you a centralized, unifying investment strategy, one that can help you in the following ways: • Diversification – If you own several different financial accounts, including IRAs, 401(k)s and online accounts, you might have many similar investments within them.

You might even own a cash-value insurance policy containing investments that closely track the ones you have in the other accounts. This type of duplication can be harmful because if a market downturn primarily affects one type of asset, and your portfolio is dominated by that asset or similar ones, you could take a big hit. But if you have all your investments in the same place, a financial professional can review your holdings and recommend appropriate ways to diversify your investment dollars. (Be aware, though, that while diversification can reduce the impact of market volatility on your portfolio, it can’t guarantee profits or protect against all losses.)

• Staying on track – With all your accounts in one place, you’ll find it easier to keep the big picture in mind and make the moves necessary to help you progress toward your financial goals. Two main actions include buying or selling investments and adjusting your portfolio to make it more aggressive or conservative, depending on your situation.

• Avoiding mistakes – If you own several separate accounts, you could see a loss in

BY PATTY HUTCHENS EPHRIAM’S PHOTO COURTESY SADEE BRASS PHOTOGRAPHY

MIKAYLA SCHOENING - Mikayla Schoening knew early in life that swimming was her passion, and it is that passion that has driven her to success for the Sandpoint High School swim team.

“I have been swimming since around fifth grade,” said Mikayla. She has gone to state each year since her freshman year and recently brought home four gold medals from districts as well as helped the girIs’ team win districts overall. She went on to have a fabulous showing at state where she won the state title in the 100 freestyle by .18 seconds and finished second in the 50 free by .33 seconds. She also teamed up with her teammates to win the 200 free relay.

CBD For Pain Relief 14 SANDPOINT360

On the honor roll each semester throughout high school, Mikayla said that working to keep her grades up help her to perform her best both in and out of the pool.

A junior, Mikayla is currently undecided on what school she will attend. “I do believe that I want to swim in college,” said Mikayla, who plans to major in pediatric nursing. “Swimming has become a part of my daily life, so I think I should keep it that way.”

Mikayla said what she enjoys most about swimming is the fact it is an individual sport. Yet, the mental aspect is a challenge. “This sport isn’t just about the physical game but your mental game as well. When my body gets tired and worn down, I have to engage the positivity in my mind in order to be able to finish strong,” said Mikayla.

One lesson that swimming has taught Mikayla is that when she is tired, that is when she has to push her hardest. “Unlike several other sports, when

you’re exhausted or need a break to breathe or grab some water, you don’t have the option to go sit on the bench until you’re ready to be put back in; that is the time that you have to dig deep and find that fifth gear inside you and use that to push you to go faster.”

EPHRIAM WEISZ - When it comes to all-around dedication, Ephriam Weisz is a perfect example.

An honor roll student throughout high school, Ephriam also perseveres when it comes to athletics.

YOUR TRUSTED UNDERGROUND EXPERTS Proudly Serving the Greater Northwestern US

His coach, Matt Brass, said that Ephriam began running as a freshman with no prior experience and, by his junior year, was one of the team’s top runners. Even more important is that he has been fully committed since joining.

1 208-255-4380 5 335 McGhee Rd., Suite 105, Sandpoint, Idaho 83864 4 www. taunderground.com “He has missed less than five practices in cross country and track, including off-season conditioning, in four years,” said Brass. “He also has been one of the best athletes we have ever had at welcoming in new runners, making them feel like they are part of a team and teaching them how we train. He will be sorely missed next year for both his performance and his mentoring.”

Ephriam was a three-year top-10 finisher at regionals and won regionals his junior year. And as a sophomore in track, he was third in the 3200.

Although undecided as to where he will attend college, Ephriam said he would like to study psychology and hopes to receive a master’s degree.

“I’m interested in psychology because I think it’s interesting to understand people and what leads them to be who they are.”

Ephriam said that he finds the mental aspect of running to be the most challenging, but he overcomes that by focusing on his teammates and his team’s goals. But running is also therapeutic to him. “It gives me the time to think,” he said.

He is grateful to all the opportunities that cross country and track have given to him, and Ephriam said he has learned a very important life lesson from his coaches over the past four years. “Remember to be grateful for every opportunity we get in life.”
