LUGGAGE ...pack like the pros
By Sally Rummel

A large group of travelers were flying home from Cancun in the big storm on Feb. 1.
f traveling is in your future this spring or summer, it’s time to pull out your luggage and see what you might need to “get a grip” on your most important traveling companions. It used to be easy to buy luggage, with most of your decision based on selecting a durable piece that you liked. But it has become a much more confusing issue now, with airline policies dictating your luggage purchases more than your own preferences. Consumer Reports suggest that you check with your airline before you pick and pack a bag every time you travel.
The airlines had to leave 108 pieces of luggage behind for less weight for re-fueling. Be sure
Here are a few things to consider when selecting luggage:
• Don’t pay attention to labels like “Official Carry-on Luggage,” because each airline has its own restrictions. As a general rule, for most U.S. domestic flights, a 22-inch upright bag will do. For overseas flights, you’d be safer with a bag 20-inches tall. • For bags you want to stow underneath the seat in front of you, look for bags with names like wheeled tote, under seat carry-on or cabin bag. These bags are smaller than ones that can go in the overhead bin.
you don’t pack valuables or medication in your bags, in case you run into a situation like this.

Pro packing tips Tip #1
Pack lightly. Most people way over-pack. If you have forgotten something, you can always pick up an item you need at your destination, or use on-site laundry facilities.
Tip #2

Don’t pack any valuables or medication in your checked baggage that you couldn’t live without. Your luggage may be lost or stolen. Diane Roberts, Superior Travel

• Make sure you find the actual weight of the bag printed on the sales tag, according to TV travel expert Samantha Brown. A carry-on should weigh less

than 10 pounds. • If you’re buying larger luggage to check in, the most common sizes are 24 to 30 inches. Before buying a larger size up to 36 inches, check with the carrier for size limits. • Soft-sided or hard shell? Soft-sided luggage is made of fabrics that move and yield, and is usually lighter in weight and can compress to fit tight spaces. Hard shell luggage is best for protecting the contents of your luggage from breakage. Made with today’s high-tech plastics, most hard-shell pieces are lightweight and durable.

• Compartments or roomy interior? Travelers who like everything well organized may want to consider luggage with designated compartments for everything. If you like to design your own system, look for luggage with few or no compartments and organize using packing cubes. Compartments may be more of a necessity for carry-on bags so you have easy access to necessities on the flight. • Basic black has become like a traveler’s uniform, so if you want your luggage to be easy to identify at baggage claim, buy something that will stand out better than black. Otherwise, be sure to put something personal, such as ribbon or tape, on the outside of your bag to distinguish it from a sea of other black bags.

4 hows
for understanding airline luggage rules: 1. How big?
PACKING TIPS
Carry-on: Airlines are becoming more strict about what sizes can be considered “carry on” to be stuffed into an overhead bin or under the seat in front of you. Check with your airline so you know the exact allowable size for a carry-on bag and measure it yourself. Checked bag: Does your airline charge for any checked bags, regardless of size? Just about all of them do, except for Jet Blue and Southwest. Is there an extra charge for a bag past a certain dimension size?
Tip #3
2. How heavy?
Continued from Page 1B
Leave space in your bag for souvenirs to bring home.
Tip #4
Randy Church, Travel Brokers
Put your name and phone number on your luggage tag AND inside your bag, in case the tag gets separated from the bag.
Tip #5
Diane Roberts, Superior Travel
Always think of the possibility your luggage could be lost or delayed. Pack a change of clothes in your carryon bag. If you’re heading to a warm weather resort, pack a bathing suit in case your luggage doesn’t get to your room right away.
Tip #6
Randy Church, Travel Brokers
If you’re traveling as a couple, don’t pack totally separate bags for each of you. Instead, pack each bag “his and hers,” so if a piece of your luggage does get lost or delayed, you’ll both have some clothing and necessities.
Tip #7
Diane Roberts, Superior Travel
Weigh your bag before you leave for the airport. Put your heavy items like shoes in your smaller bag, because your larger bag already is heavier.
Tip #8
Randy Church, Travel Brokers
If you bring medication with you in your carry-on bag, make sure to carry more medication than the number of days you plan to be gone, just in case you end up staying an extra day or two because of some travel snafu. Diane Roberts, Superior Travel
Carry-on: Most domestic airlines don’t specify a weight limit, but if it’s too heavy to lift into the overhead bin, you’ll probably be asked to check it. Checked bag: There’s a weight limit for bags you’re checking, usually 50 pounds for domestic airlines, and you’ll have to pay a fee for an overweight bag. You’ll want to consider the weight of your suitcase when selecting luggage.
3. How many?
Carry-on: Limits for carryon bags are usually one for storage in overhead bin and one personal bag for storage beneath the seat in front of you. Checked bag: Ask about any limits on the number of checked pieces, especially when you’re usually paying a fee for checked bags. Also ask about any exempted items, such as medical equipment or child safety seats, which have no limits.
4. How much does it cost?
Carry-on: There is not a cost for a carry-on item. Checked bag: Domestically, a checked bag can cost anywhere from $25 to $100, or up to $200 for an over-sized or overweight one. It pays to invest in a portable luggage scale so you know before you go.

The Waldorf Penthouse
Assuming Blair has the Park-facing Penthouse, we know exactly what it’s worth. The duplex penthouse at that address recently sold for $35 million, featuring four bedrooms, five-and-a-half bathrooms, a media room, and its own private gym.
$2 MILLION - $2.5 MILLION 90 Bedford Street, West Village
CONS
Monica and Rachel get more sunlight through their western windows and the double-wide northern window gives the home a more open feeling than many comparable apartments of this size and type. Joey and Chandler have a bigger bathroom, however their windows are less substantial and the foyer doubles as a kitchen. The boys also look like they’re compromising on space slightly compared to the girls. However, this location and the efficient two bedroom layout would compensate for any complaints.

$2.3 MILLION 85 Grand Street, SoHo
The residential lofts in this building are mostly all full-floor units.

Which blood pressure reading is right? DR. ROACH: I am a 70-year-old man with high blood pressure. I take a calciumchannel blocker and a diuretic to control it. I am concerned about systolic readings that can vary 10-12 points when I take my blood pressure five-10 minutes apart. A recent example: readings of 132, 143, 140 and 133, taken five to six minutes apart. My diastolic readings don’t vary more than a point or two in the mid-70s. Should I be concerned about these variations in systolic pressure? — J.S.
This degree in blood pressure variation is well within the expected norm. Your systolic pressure (the top number, and the peak blood pressure while the heart is expelling blood from the left ventricle into the aorta) is about 136, plus or minus seven points. Having multiple readings increases the precision of the measurement and allows your physician to make better decisions about the effectiveness of your treatment regimen. Your systolic number, however, is in the range of prehypertension, so your doctor will be keeping an eye on that. BY KEITH ROACH, M.D. During the course of the day, systolic blood pressure readings can vary as much as 30 points. Even in the few minutes you took these, KEITH I often see variation as ROACH, M.D. much or more than this.

Just about everyone dreams about having a vacation home to retreat to, especially those of us who live in Michigan and understand the strong pull of the lands and lakes of “up north.” “Right now with Michigan on the Lakes Ponemah, Runyan and Lobdell rebound, there are still homes availall have properties available in the able in the $200,000 price range,” said $200,000 range. Chuck Stoner, Realtor and corporate recruiter for Coldwell Banker Professionals in Fenton. “With buying power range on Lobdell Lake, Runyan Lake so strong, people are beginning to look and Lake Ponemah. at vacation homes again.

square-foot ranch. You might also find a condo in the $250,000 range that has access to the water. If your budget can extend to $300,000, you can find a home across from the water. If you want to have a luxury lakefront vacation home in that area, expect to pay $1 million plus, according to Stoner. More affordable vacation homes can be found in the middle of the state, with property for hunting and fishing. Other affordable vacation homes will be located on the east side of the state in Alpena, AuGres and the Tawas area, and in the Thumb area on Saginaw Bay in communities like Sebewaing, Bay Port and Caseville and Lake Huron getaways in Harbor Beach, Port Sanilac and Lexington. “Prices aren’t going up as fast in some of these areas as they are down here, so you can get more for your $200,000,” said Denise Penwell, Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services of Michigan. Local residents who are interested in finding out more about vacation homes can call tri-county area Realtors, who can usually refer them to someone they know in another community. “We’ve got 41 offices in Michigan,” said Penwell. “I can hook you up with someone with experience in the area you’re looking for who works for our same company. That will make the process go more smoothly and stress free.”

THINGS TO CONSIDER when looking to buy a vacation home:
Know the area before you buy –
how long does it take to get there and what are the nearby activities? Understand costs associated with a vacation home, from taxes to lake association fees. You will need to winterize it to avoid burst pipes or damage. Don’t forget the amount of work associated with a vacation home, including yard work, fall and spring cleanup, opening and closing, etc. Consider using your vacation home as a rental during times you’re not able to use it, to help offset some of these costs. Find out all the legal and logistical ramifications before taking this step. During holidays, your new vacation spot may be very busy, especially on a lake. Visit the area on a holiday weekend to see what it’s really like. Know what you are looking for before you go on a serious search. Be specific about what amenities are very important to you. If you’re buying waterfront property on which to build, make sure you know all about building and zoning codes and that a piece of property can support a vacation home. Choose a Realtor who is familiar with the area so he or she can match a property with your needs. HARTLAND 12316 Highland Rd. (M-59)

Like any relationship, it takes two people putting in 100 percent to get the maximum benefit from hiring a Realtor. “To get the most out of your Realtor, first be sure to hire the correct one,” said John Wentworth of ReMAX Plantinum in Fenton. “Interview a potential Realtor and ask questions. Develop a trusting relationship with someone who won’t just tell you what you want to hear.” Wentworth adds that communication is key between a Realtor and a client. “Stay open and honest in all facets of the transaction. This way, the Realtor can be fully educated on what your goals are and can also help you through a smooth or bumpy transaction. Hire an experienced and proven Realtor.” Chuck Stoner, Realtor and corporate recruiter for Coldwell Banker Professionals in Fenton, advises people to spend time meeting with a potential Realtor. “It’s important to

do your research online for your property, but meet one-on-one when you’re looking for an agent. Have your questions ready and let us help educate you. We want to help you sell your home as quickly as possible, or find you a home that best fits your needs.” John Tremaine, of Tremaine Real Living in Fenton, suggests that people be receptive to the advice given by a Realtor, especially when it comes to staging a home for sale. “I can tell you what you need to do to get your house ready, and can help you with staging, but you have to be responsive and be willing to take action.” Also, the seller needs to listen to the recommendation of a Realtor when it comes to pricing a
home for sale. “Ninety-nine percent of the time, the seller sets the price, usually based on emotional reasons or what they paid for it, said Tremaine. A Realtor knows the market and the data behind the price, so it pays to listen to a price recommendation for a Realtor.” Denise Penwell, Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services of Michigan, suggests that people looking for a Realtor communicate closely their needs and wants. “Make sure you hire a Realtor who listens closely to you. Once we understand what you are looking for in the transaction, don’t be afraid to take our advice. We are professionals for a reason, and we’re well connected in the community and the marketplace.”

you personally handle and which will be delegated to others? Are your fees negotiable? At what price do you think my house will sell in the current market, and why? Can you give me a written Comparative Market Analysis and a list of homes currently on the market? What is your marketing plan for my house? How long must I list my house with you? How long have you been a Realtor and how much education have you received? Is your license in good standing and have you ever been subject to a client complaint? Will you provide references of past clients? (Check them out) How often will you communicate with me? Why should I hire you over your competition? May I see the documents I will have to sign? What will be my closing costs? Can you explain the process to me? Do you have a website and/or blog? Source: homegain.com

The 2015 tentative equalization ratio is 50% and the estimated multiplier is 1.0000 for all property classifications. Protest at the Board of Review is necessary to protect your right to further your appeals to the Michigan Tax Tribunal for valuation and exemption appeals and/or State Tax Commission for classification appeals. Homestead affidavit Information is required by P.A. 237 of 1994 if you purchased your homestead after May 1, 2011. To claim the homestead exemption, if you have not already done so, you must file an affidavit before June 1, 2015 to affect the summer taxes and before November 1, 2015 to affect the winter taxes.
NOTICE TO THE TAXPAYERS AND PROPERTY OWNERS OF GROVELAND TOWNSHIP 2015 BOARD OF REVIEW MEETING
The value provided by a hometown newspaper doesn’t cost you a cent – in fact it saves you hundreds of dollars a year by providing local advertising content that not only helps you save money, but keeps local retail dollars in our communities. When our dollars stay local they help maintain our superior school systems, provide employment for our sons and daughters, and keep our tax base strong. This healthy tax base provides streets that are plowed, premium police protection and quick response by emergency personnel such as fire and EMS services. These things in turn maintain and support our housing values. Support your hometown newspaper.
It’s a win-win for all involved. “Stay Connected to Your Community.”
Robert W. Cole, Jr, Supervisor Argentine Township
