| Reverse mortgage workshop informs public about the pros and cons
Local residents gathered at the Kernville Chamber of Commerce Jan. 16 to learn more about reverse mortgages. The Prince Financial Corporation representative, Barbara Prince, Bankers First representative Rylan Rozell and Patty Nash of McKenzie and Nielsen provided those in attendance with large packets of information on the ins and outs of reverse mortgages including the negative aspects of entering into a reverse mortgage. The purpose of the presentation was to educate as well as provide financial opportunities for seniors. According to the Reverse Mortgage Page website over 50,000 Americans applied for reverse mortgages in 2006. A reverse mortgage is a way to borrow against the equity in your home rather than a forward mortgage where you are attempting to purchase a home and build home equity by making mortgage payments.

The Metro Denver Sports Commission, management of the Avalanche and DU coach George Gwozdecky discussed the idea of an outdoor game years ago after a Michigan State-Michigan game at Spartan Stadium brought out a (still-standing) hockey record audience of 74,544 on Oct. 6, 2001. But the plan melted away because of cost and a variety of other issues. "We just didn't have the assets and the commitment to do it at the time," Schmieder said. The success and popularity of the Buffalo-Pittsburgh game renewed fascination with the outdoor game here and elsewhere.
