For the world of smart phones where there is an “app” for almost everything, the NAIC (National Association of Insurance Commissioners) has created an application to help consumers create a home inventory. iPhones or Android phones can load the free software to photograph and capture images, descriptions, bar codes and serial numbers and store them for safekeeping. The app organizes information room by room and even creates a back-up file for email sharing the spreadsheets.
As we know, a home inventory can be a lifesaver if disaster strikes and an insured has to complete an inventory of lost possessions. You can download the free app by searching for “NAIC” in the “app store” of your phone or by visiting www.insureuonline.org. The application is titled myHOME Scr.APP.book.

County Supervisors and visitors at the Marinette County Board meeting Tuesday, December 20 were treated to snacks of sausage, cheese and crackers, courtesy of Dairy Producers and the Dairy Marketing Board, and a delicious assortment of buttery Christmas cookies, courtesy of courthouse employees.
Connie Seefeldt, Marinette County Supervisor representing District 15, Town of Grover, also serves as a director of the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board. She quickly briefed the board on the importance of the dairy industry to Wisconsin and to Marinette County. She said each cow in Marinette County generates more than $21,000 a year for the local economy, and the dairy industry as a whole adds $26.5 billion annually to the Wisconsin economy.
Money for the dairy promotions comes entirely from dairy producers, with payment through the check off program based on milk production, and there are o tax dollars involved, Seefeldt said.
The Wisconsin Dairy Industry currently is involved with McCafe products and the Healthy Breakfasts program at McDonalds, and a partnership between Dairy Producers and the NFL promotes 60 minutes of healthy exercise a day for Wisconsin youngsters.
Again in 2011 national competition, Wisconsin cheese producers captured the greatest number of honors for making the finest cheeses.
