Community members filled the Bay Township Hall Monday night to discuss Ohio 53, the site of repeated crashes that have in some cases ended in tragedy. In the past 10 years, 270 accidents have re-sulted in four fatalities in the 5.2-mile stretch of 53 that runs through the town-ship.

“We’ve come to know it as a dangerous place,” said Virginia Park, chairman of

the Bay Township Trustees. “The present situation is intolerable and we feel some-thing must be done.”

The gathering — a special meeting of the trustees — was held to draw the attention of the Ohio Department of Transportation in hopes of making the state route safer. ODOT is responsible for the road, including speed limits, striping and signage. The township leadership has

Bay Township Trustees have been working for a safer Ohio 53. This timeline, posted at Monday’s meeting, shows the actions they’ve taken:

JANUARY 2010• Bay Township Trustees make a motion to pursue “No Passing Zones” with ODOT

• Emails went out to Rep. Dennis Murray and State Senator Mark Wagoner asking for support

FEBRUARY 2010 • Letter goes out to ODOT Director Jolene Militoris

• Response from Wagoner’s letter sent to ODOT.

APRIL 2010• Letter sent to Ohio State Highway Patrol Col. David Dicken and Lt. Daryl Edge for assistance.

• Email sent to Gov. Ted Strickland asking for ODOT assistance.

• Governor responds and forwards mes-sage to ODOT

• Militoris sends letter: because none of the crashes occurred because of passing in intersections, suggested No Passing Zones would not be considered.

MAY 2010• Township Trustees respond to what Chairman Virginia Park called a fatal error in Militoris’ letter. Crashes had in fact hap-pened around intersections.

• Trustees document Ohio 53 from the Turnpike to Ohio 2

• Edge has troopers video the state route through Bay Township.

Twelve-year-old Taylor Wilhite has been through a lot. She suf-fered through chemotherapy, a bone marrow transplant and a degraded hip bone from her can-cer treatment. Now in remission, the Danbury seventh-grader has

During her treatment for acute myleloid leukemia, a diagnosis that came at age 8, Taylor’s par-ents were approached by a social worker who told them about a

lifetime cap on many insurance policies. Taylor’s Mom Amy said that day, an already stressful situ-ation got worse. The family re-alized that Taylor was close to hitting the cap and had to begin being selective about what treat-

Participants must fast for 12 hours prior to appointment time.

BLOOD ANALYSIS $38The blood tests performed serve as an “early warning” health screen to indicate if one might have current or potential health problems. The tests allow detection of many medical conditions including:

ANEMIAIronBONE DISEASECalciumPhosphorusDIABETESGlucoseGOUTUric AcidHEART DISEASECholesterolTriglyceridesHDLLDLSodiumPotassiumChlorideBicarbonateElectrolyte BalanceOsmolality Calculation

KIDNEY DISEASEBlood Urea NitrogenCreatinineBUN/Creatinine RatioLIVER DISEASEAlbuminGlobulinAlbumin/Globulin RatioGGTPSGOTSGPTLDHTotal BilirubinTotal ProteinAlkaline Phosphatase

COLORECTAL TEST KIT $6Beginning at age 50, men and women who are at average risk for developing colorectal cancer (i.e., no family history, etc.) should begin screening. Screening can result in the detection of colorectal polyps before they become cancerous, as well as the detection of cancer that is at an early stage. This take home kit is a basic screen for blood in the stool, which could be a sign of several colorectal health issues.

Care and ShareWe at Care and Share would like to thank everyone for

their help and support to keep us going yet another year. This last year was one of the busiest years we’ve had in the 30 years we’ve been open. The Lord keeps telling us to keep it going.

I want to thank my help for all that they do for the Care & Share and everything they do for Aggie and I. Aggie was injured at the Care & Share last year and I have been ill since April. We unfortunately will not be able to be there all the time but our help is wonderful and can handle whatever needs done. I am only a phone call away if I am needed.

If you or someone you know needs anything, just stop on in. You do not have to show any proof of income. We have clothing, furniture and household items.

We are opening April 6. We will be open Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to noon and Fridays from 2 to 5 p.m. We can always use monetary donations. We are non-profit and the donations keep us running.

We love you all. Thanks again for everything you have done for us.

Send the FlowersAs we all know life is full of choices and as a smart man

once said “I’d rather be lucky than smart anytime.” My

first trek to Catawba/Port Clinton came about mostly by accident. Thirty-five years later, here we are and yes, I was lucky.

For many years I had followed a tradition of sending flowers to all my “girls” on Valentine’s Day. I usually re-membered weeks in advance and made the arrangements with Mary. Sometimes I forgot I had even done it and then was reminded when the calls came to my mobile phone with words of thanks. Now and then I recall one year that I just wasn’t in the mood. Probably some irritating family moment had occurred and I lost my sensibilities. I do not remember what year this was but over the years I do know that I regret that I had that moment and made that deci-sion. You see life is full of choices.

So on to my point. We only have so many chances to make a difference, to impact a life and just maybe lift someone’s spirits. So my advice, even when all the stars are not necessarily aligned, is to send the flowers. Let a family member or a friend know that yes, you love them, are proud of them and care for them.

It just may make the difference and what the heck, it could turn a less-than-desirable day into the day of their lives. I have this happen now and then. I do not deserve it but somehow God knows I need a lift and there is my daughter, wife, a friend like little Natalie, her mother, Mil-lie or Tom to make me smile and face the day.

Thanks Catawba and Port Clinton for giving this some thought.

Just a reminder: send the flowers.Mike Schenck, Catawba Island

Humane SocietyThe Humane Society of Ottawa County wishes to express

gratitude to our local VFW Post No. 2480. They hosted our recent Spaghetti Dinner and their support was evident by their participation, heading up our 50/50 raffles and the Hillbilly Horse Races (they were something to see!). All of you who participated in our Chinese Raffle made it a huge success. Thanks to all who donated the raffle items. Irene Phipps and Linda Dansard did a great job obtain-ing items and setting everything up with the help of Tracy Brown and June Ireland. We’d also like to thank Ala Carte for donating the spaghetti sauce, Chefsbest for the deli-cious salads, Nikoll Laney for donating some of our bread, along with Chris Marcinko, Walmart for the spaghetti and Wanda Kershner for all those scrumptious desserts! And — not to be forgotten — the wonderful band, Denny R N The Smooth Groove for donating their time and talent to our cause! You all helped raise almost $1,500 which will go a long way towards caring for the animals in our shelter. Thanks, again, to all the members of VFW Post 2480 and everyone who showed their support.

BUY THE BEST... FORGET THE REST!THE GREAT MORELAVAILABLE THIS FRIDAY!

The Great Morel has graced us with its presence in 2011. For most of us we must still wait as the winter hiatus comes to a close, yet there are those few who are beginning to experience the delight. Most must continue to wait in patience for this glorious rite of spring, which brings us the Great Morel. This often unexplainable and euphoric ritual in which we annual partake will soon be heading our way. As it news, our conversation of the harsh winter many endured will be replace with conversation of the coming adventures of foraging as we wait for the appearance of the Great Morel.

The Great Morel wishes everyone the best of luck as this ephemeral of nature we have come to know draws upon us.

May everyone’s rewards be plentiful, as you begin the search for the ever-elusive and oh-so mysterious Great Morel!Less is More...

“I know that many people prefer to eat these with some kind of coating, flour, crackers, etc.

In my opinion, Less is More!I usually serve morels with

a Red Meat dish. Nothing like Morels and a big fat juicy steak off the grill! I use an Iron Skillet and melt as much butter as needed to cover what shrooms I have. I season the morels with salt and pepper only, maybe season salt if my taste buds desire, but that is all.

Sautee the mushrooms, over medium, heat until desired

doneness and enjoy! I feel if you doctor them up too much you are really taking away the true flavor of these magnificent jewels of the forest.

Thanks and see you in the woods.”

ment Taylor would get.“It made us feel like maybe we weren’t

giving her the best care we could,” Amy said. “It was something that no family should ever go through.”

The family looked to the American So-ciety for help as they started reaching the cap. The group helped the Wilhites negoti-ate the difficult path. Then, the ACS looked to the Wilhite’s to help push for reform.

After sharing their story and lobbying with ACS, the Taylor Wilhite clause of The

Affordable Care Act now states that no lifetime cap be placed on insurance.

“Now she can have the care that she needs,” said Amy. “As a parent, that’s your goal in life.”

After the passage of the health care re-form package, Amy and Taylor were in-vited to the White House to help celebrate the 90th anniversary of the bill’s signing. It was there the pair met President Barack Obama and introduced him on stage, a big moment for Taylor.

“It was amazing,” she said.But it was during an earlier trip to D.C.

that Taylor and her mom interviewed with Kerri Zimmer, a “Today” show producer. Zimmer was reunited with the family Monday in Port Clinton when she flew in to tape a follow up.

As Zimmer sat with the pair going through the story of their fight, she asked them why, after all they’d been through, did they get involved with the push for reform.

“We couldn’t just sit back and let this go,” Amy said.

Taylor and Amy’s inter-view is set to be aired on the “Today” show Thurs-day, April 7.

Frank Michel of Oak Harbor has been selected as a win-ner in the America’s Farmers Grow Communities pro-gram, which gave farmers the opportunity to win $2,500 for their favorite local nonprofit organizations. The Mon-santo Fund sponsors the program, and winning farmers designate a local nonprofit organization to benefit from the donations. Michel has designated Benton-Carroll-Salem Food Pantry at St. Paul United Church of Christ, located in Oak Harbor, as the organization to receive the donation.

Pantry officials expressed appreciation and said that they plan to put the donation toward the purchase food at a greatly reduced rate at Northwest Ohio Food Banks. It will also be used to purchase food and dry goods at lo-cal merchants when those are not otherwise available. The $2,500 donation was awarded at a ceremony held Thurs-day, March 17, at St. Paul United Church of Christ in Oak Harbor.

The America’s Farmers Grow Communities program is part of a broad commitment by the Monsanto Fund, the philanthropic arm of Monsanto Company, to highlight the important contributions farmers make every day to our society by helping them grow their local communi-ties. To date, more than 60,000 farmers participated in the program, which is designed to benefit nonprofit groups such as ag youth, schools and other civic organizations. Visit www.growcommunities.com to view a complete list of winners.

The Commanding Officer of Port Security Unit 309 recently presented Chief Paul Cormier with the Coast Guard Commendation Medal for outstanding achieve-ment while serving with the Department of Homeland Security Haiti Integrated Response Team from January to March of 2010.

Cormier was on the island and survived the devastat-ing earthquake that killed more than 230,000 people. He immediately participated in the recovery effort, as his knowledge of the local area and fluency in the Creole

language proved critical to the success of a significant number of humanitarian missions. He led numerous efforts, including performing translation during a high-profile media event on the USNS Comfort, assisting US and Haitian immigration officials in the processing and treatment of over 14,000 Haitian-Americans preparing to be evacuated to the US, and delivering much needed food and medical relief to rural areas. Chief Cormier remains a part of PSU 309 and is drilling with the unit in Port Clinton.

been pushing for changes since January of 2010 and as of yet, is unsatisfied with ODOT’s response.

“To date, we have not had anything posi-tive to report from ODOT,” said Trustee Dan Mulligan.

After two letters drew little action from the department, the trustees began joining forces with other agencies. Together with Lt. Daryl Edge of the Ohio State Highway Patrol, Ottawa County Sheriff Bob Brat-ton, Prosecuting Attorney Mark Mulligan and the Port Clinton City Schools, the of-ficials are still pushing. And if Monday’s turnout was any indication, they have the support of the community.

The room was packed with concerned families, neighbors, students and even a few grieving parents. Tom Pope, whose son was killed on Christmas Eve 2009 in a collision on Ohio 53, shared his thoughts with the crowd.

“We live it every day,” he said, before thanking the emergency workers who re-sponded to the tragic site. “It’s just so won-derful to see a community come together to do something to protect our children.”

Tabitha Gilleland and her family, who live on Ohio 53, were also on hand to tell

their story. Gilleland was hit by a passing vehicle while trying to board the school bus in front of her home Sept. 28, 2009. She talked about her treatment and sur-geries, the rod in her leg and the difficulty of learning to walk again. But for Gille-land, the emotional scars are even more harder to deal with than the physical ones. Her brother, Colin, screamed before she was hit and saw the impact. Gilleland said she could see the tears in his eyes.

“Having a memory like this is too hard for me and my family and friends,” the 18-year-old victim said.

Pope and Gilleland’s stories are the first in a growing list of students killed or in-jured on the road. In just more than a year, members of the Port Clinton City School District have been involved in five acci-dents on Ohio 53 including two that took the lives of students. According to Super-intedent Pat Adkins, the former spirit rock on the high school campus has become a memorial rock.

“This has to stop,” he said.The school administration, with the

help of the student Leadership Council, has been circulating a petition to show its support for action. The Bay Township Trustees also have such a petition. Togeth-er, more than 1,000 signatures had been

compiled before Monday’s meeting even began.

The meeting was recorded and officials say they will send that and the petitions to ODOT after attempts to get a representative from the department to come out Monday failed.

ODOT officials have said they will analyze the road this summer and look at the crash list.

According to Park, this is too little to late.

In the meantime, the State Highway Patrol will kick off a six-week enforcement blitz on the road April 1. Edge said driving violations like crossing the center line and failing to maintain an assured clear distance ahead have been blamed in many of the crashes and those are the things troopers will be targeting.

The patrol and trustees have recommended the ad-dition of no passing zones and increased signage at in-tersections along the road. Those at the meeting didn’t hesitate to add their own: widening the road, lower-ing the speed and adding double stripes in no-pass-ing zones were among the suggestions. According to Trustee Dan Mulligan, any changes that can increase safety should be pursued.

“If there’s a small chance that a little bit of yellow paint and signs along the side of the road can make a difference, it should be done,”

Legal LineswITH JEFF ROTH

IRA’S and charitiesAnyone working with our office

knows it is our challenge and goal to never go through the probate process. Ohio law has become very conducive to that end. Through the proper titling of assets, most prop-erty can be transferred to the next generation automatically at death. An automatic transfer is not always the best way for tax reasons.

Several years ago a lady asked to have her will reviewed. One of her greatest concerns was to ensure that her church would receive a bequest at her death. In her will she gave $100,000 to her church. Her larg-est money asset was her Individual Retirement Account naming her chil-dren as the beneficiaries. She was told that the charitable bequest needed to be in her will to ensure that the bequest would take place. This plan would have cost her children the following:

• The full and complete probate of her estate at a cost of 2 to 5 percent of the value of her assets and take three to 15 months to complete.

• The IRA money would first be subject to three or maybe four taxes: Ohio Estate Tax, Federal Income Tax, Ohio Income Tax and maybe Federal Estate tax.

• The estate or children would have to first pay all of the above income taxes on the money before making the distribution to the church. All IRA money is taxed before distri-bution except if paid directly to a charity.

• Considerable paperwork would be necessary to transfer assets from the estate to the children and also paperwork to transfer the IRA to the children.

Charities are exempt from income tax. Any IRA monies that would pass

directly from the IRA to the church would do so free from any Federal or State income tax. Under her old will and her IRA designation, the $100,000 would have passed to the children first. Her children are very successful and were in a 35 percent income tax bracket considering fed-eral and Ohio tax. It would have cost the children $35,000 to transfer the $100,000 to the church.

The solution was not complicated. We contacted the custodian of the IRA account and created separate account beneficiaries. First, we made the church a beneficiary for $100,000. The charitable beneficiary received all of the money without having to pay any federal or state income tax. They also received this money im-mediately without going through a long, drawn-out probate process. We then separated the balance of the IRA account into three separate accounts for each of the children whose ages ranged from 22 to 32. Each child was able to stretch withdrawal of their account funds over their life expec-tancy. The 10-year difference in age created a tremendous increase in value for the youngest child. They in effect were able to stretch withdrawal of these funds over their 60-plus life expectancy. Partial deferral of paying tax on this money can turn $20,000 into $80,000.

Through the use of transfer on death, life estate and proper benefi-ciary designations, we did not need to file a will and go through the pro-bate process. Today, a new temporary law has allowed distribution direct to charity while you are alive without tax consequences. This will be the subject of another article.

The size of the account does not matter. If a person wants to ben-

efit their church, school or other charitable cause with a donation of $1,000, the use of a designated ac-count within their IRA will accom-plish that end. You cannot combine your children and the charity as joint beneficiaries without adverse consequences. Each designation must be separate. It is important to see in print your beneficiary designation to insure that the desired result is in place. You can have this distribution at your death or upon the death of your spouse if created correctly.

This article is a result of seeing how a proactive approach to estate planning saved time, money and inconvenience for the next genera-tion. This individual did pass away and the stated course of action was completed within one month of her passing.

When Otterbein North Shore resi-dent and gift shop manager Ruth Freeh saw Dave Glasmire wearing a “bib” in the dining room one eve-ning, an idea brightly lit in her head.

Dave’s wife, Anna Glasmire, laughed telling Freeh it was an old towel she turned into a bib. Freeh suggested that Glasmire make some to sell in the gift shop, so Glasmire set to task. She is an experienced seamstress, but Freeh didn’t expect what she got. Glasmire designed a handcraft-ed, one-size-fits-all bib in a variety of patterns, including sports teams, animal prints, floral and stripes. They attach behind the neck with Velcro and each reversible bib has two different patterns on it.

“They’re very attractive,” said Freeh. “Both men and women are wearing them in the dining room.”

Glasmire recruited resident Ruth Muntis to help her cre-ate and make the bibs. They’ve been so popular that they are on their second order.

“I really didn’t want to start a business,” Glasmire said with a laugh. “This has been a lot of fun.”

About half of the residents wear the Shirt Savers, as they’re now called. Since Glasmire and Muntis donate their time to make them, Shirt Savers sell for only $5.50 and are available in the Otterbein North Shore Gift Shop.

Otterbein is located at 9400 N. Shore Blvd., in Danbury Township. For in-formation, contact market-ing director Lisa Cutcher at 419-798-8203 or visit www.otterbein.org.

Shirt Savers all the rage

COLUMBUS — Lake Erie anglers should experience another year of diverse fishing opportunities during 2011, according to biologists with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Wildlife.

“When you consider the variety of spe-cies and sizes of fish that are available to Ohio anglers, we are optimistic about Lake Erie fishing prospects this year,” said Roger Knight, Lake Erie fisheries program man-ager for the Division of Wildlife. “Weather is always the wild card on Lake Erie, but anglers who take advantage of seasonal fishing opportunities have good odds at catching walleye, yellow perch, small-mouth bass, white bass and steelhead, of-ten in combination during many trips.”

Lake Erie walleye and yellow perch fish-eries are managed through an interagency quota system that involves Ontario, Mich-igan, Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio jurisdictions. Each jurisdiction regulates their catches to comply with their agency’s quotas and minimize the risk of over-fish-ing these species. Quotas for the upcom-ing fishing season are determined through consensus agreement by these jurisdic-tions through the Lake Erie Committee of the Great Lakes Fishery Commission, which were just recently announced for

2011. Ohio’s walleye and yellow perch bag lim-

its were set after the March 25 LEC quota announcement, and will go into effect May 1. As a result of the 2011 quota allocation, the walleye bag limit will be six from May 1 to Feb. 29, 2012, and four from March 1, 2012, to April 30, 2012. A 15-inch mini-mum size limit is in effect during the en-tire season. The daily bag limit for walleye remains four fish per person during April 2011. As a result of the 2011 quota alloca-tion, the yellow perch bag limit will be 30 perch per angler in all Ohio waters from May 1 to April 30, 2012. There is no mini-mum size limit on yellow perch. Lake Erie anglers can find walleye and yellow perch bag limit information at ODNR offices, in special publications at bait and tackle shops, and on the Web at wildohio.com.

Anglers are reminded that fishing con-ditions on Lake Erie can change hourly and adjustments are often necessary to improve success. Anglers should take into account factors such as water tempera-ture, cloud cover, water clarity, boat traffic, wave action, structures, currents, and the amount of baitfish in the area. Anglers are also reminded to carefully monitor Lake Erie weather and to seek safe harbor before

storms approach.During the season, updated Lake Erie

fishing reports are available online at wil-dohio.com and by calling 1-888-HOOK-FISH. Division of Wildlife staff members are available from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. week-days at our research station facilities at Sandusky, 419-625-8062, for Western Ba-sin information. For additional informa-tion on lodging, charter boat services and local launch ramps, contact one of the fol-lowing lakeshore visitors’ bureaus:

• Ottawa County Visitors Bureau — 800-441-1271

• Greater Toledo Convention & Visitors Bureau — 800-243-4667

Information on the Division of Wildlife’s Lake Erie research and management pro-grams, fisheries resources, open lake and steelhead fishing reports, as well as maps and links to other Lake Erie web resources are available at wildohio.com: Be sure to choose the “Fishing” icon from the Divi-sion’s homepage, and then select “Lake Erie Fishing” from the list at the bottom of that page.

2B SCHOOLS

Career Based Intervention students at Port Clinton High School are working on unique project that combines ser-vice and learning. Through Coupons for the Community, the students are helping to fill food pantry shelves while learning how to save.

The program was started in February with a donation of Kroger $250 gift cards from United Way and the Ot-tawa County Transitional Housing/Ottawa County Saves Project. So far, only $104 has been spent to purchase more than $330 of products by combining coupons with sales. The students have saved 69 percent on items that have been donated to the St. Vincent de Paul food pantry, locat-ed in back of the Knights of Columbus Hall, 109 E. Perry St. The pantry is open bi-weekly on Saturdays throughout the year.

Coupons for the Community uses coupons to help stretch the limited dollars available from private and gov-ernment funding, which means the students can provide local food pantries with more food and non-edible essen-tials like toiletries and hygiene products for members of thecommunities who need it most. Many of these items are not covered by food stamps: soap, laundry detergent and toilet paper etc, yet they are all necessities.

CBI students collect coupons from newspaper inserts and other sources and match the coupons with the stores sale prices to get the best price. When possible, students use monetary donations to purchase food and non-edible essentials. Students will also put together coupon packets with a list of “deals” for families to use.

To help the program, donations of newspaper coupon inserts, store coupons or Kroger gift cards can be made to Port Clinton High School, Attn: MaryLou Nellett, CBI Instructor.

Representing Danbury High School at Buckeye Girls’ State last summer was her proudest moment in high so far.

“It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot along side some of the best in the state of Ohio,” Morgon said.

Her older sisters have influenced her the most. “They constantly support me, but never let my head get

too big.”After graduation, Morgan plans to attend Bowling Green

State University and major in nursing.The Danbury staff states that Morgan “is a leader who is

not easily swayed by her peers. She is a natural leader; one who finds a way to get things done by listening to others and employing help from everyone. She is organized and a no-nonsense person; but always there with a smile.”

wITH GARY COON

Are your investments getting enough exercise?

Now that spring is here, you may find it easier to get out-side to run, bike or take part in other physical pursuits that you enjoy. As you know, the more active you are, the more efficiently your body will work. And the same can hold true for your investments — the more exercise they get, the more potential to work on your behalf.

Just how do investments get “exercise”? Through lots of activity. And you can keep your investments active in at least two ways: through systematic investing and through dividend reinvestment. Let’s take a look at both these tech-niques.

When you engage in systematic investing, commonly called “dollar cost averaging,” you are continuously put-ting your money “in motion.” Essentially, you put the same amount of money into the same investments at regular in-tervals. So, for example, you might decide to invest $100 per month, in Company ABC stock. To impose this investment discipline on yourself, you could even have the money sent directly from your checking or savings account.

Of course, since the price of ABC stock, like that of all stocks, is constantly changing, your $100 investment will buy different numbers of shares each month. This can work to your advantage, because when the stock price of ABC goes down, your $100 will buy more shares. When the price goes up, you’ll automatically be a smart enough “shopper” to buy fewer shares, just as you’d typically buy less of some-thing when its price goes up.

Over time, systematic investing typically results in an aver-

age cost per share that’s lower than it would be if you were to make sporadic lump sum investments. If you can lower the cost of investing, this may help boost your investment returns. This also can be an effective way to fund your re-tirement account(s) each year. (Keep in mind, though, that even systematic investing can’t guarantee a profit or prevent a loss in declining markets. Also, you’ll need to have the fi-nancial resources available to keep investing through up and down markets.)

Dividend reinvestment is similar to systematic investing in that it allows you to build more shares of an investment. But when you reinvest dividends, you don’t even have to take money from other sources to increase your shares — you simply have to request that a stock or a mutual fund, instead of paying you a dividend in cash, reinvest the dividend right back into that same stock or mutual fund. It’s an effort-less way of adding shares. Similar to dollar-cost averaging, dividend reinvestment imposes an investment discipline on you — you automatically keep putting money in the market during up and down periods. (Keep in mind that dividends can be increased, decreased or totally eliminated)

Exercising your investment dollars in these ways can help you go a long way toward keeping your portfolio in good shape — enabling you to make healthy progress toward your important long-term goals
