The Donna Schrimpf-Gum Team 1-800-787-1614 www.PruLakeOzarkRealEstate.com 3570 Suite 101 Osage Beach Parkway, Osage Beach, MO 65065 The Professional full time agents with the Donna Schrimpf-Gum Team are trained to listen to you so they can best determine what your criteria for a home or condo is. They conduct a Buyer Consultation with you in the office to make sure they understand what you want and you understand the market and the buying process. They answer questions like: What are the rules to Buying Real Estate at the Lake? Should I just wait for the price to go down? What will it take to avoid offending the seller? In today’s world FINANCING is a four letter word and the Donna Schrimpf-Gum Team can help you get through that maze. Then they pull up everything that even remotely matches what you are looking for, regardless of what company or agent has it listed. The listings are gone over with you on the big screen TV and one by one the listings are eliminated or added to your “possible” list. Once this is completed, the Donna Schrimpf-Gum Team will go through the “possible” list together and pick out the very best ones to see. Appointments are made and the next step is to go out and see the homes to find you just the right one. This may seem like a lot of work, but trust them, it saves hours, even days of sitting in the car driving around to properties that you don’t have any interest in. It allows you to go through the thousands of listings available and narrow them down to just the cream of the crop. And that is really what you are looking for isn’t it? Some agents only want to show their companies listings, but this is absolutely unacceptable if they are representing you. They are not allowing you to see what the entire market has to offer. The priority of the Donna Schrimpf-Gum Team is to make sure you are educated to their market and have the ability to choose from every property that meets your specific criteria. When you’re ready to act, contact the Donna Schrimpf-Gum Team. The Donna Schrimpf-Gum Team will educate you on the pros and cons of every property you have interest in, and then negotiate the absolute best price the market will allow. They put their 50+ years of experience to work for you, and simplify your transaction for you as much as possible. The Donna Schrimpf-Gum Team looks forward to working with you!

A As students settle into school schedules, new activities begin and daylight hours dwindle, Master Lock reminds students and parents to evaluate and refresh their family safety plans. Burglary statistics show that fall and winter seasons see more home theft occurrences than any other time of the year so now is the ideal time to review safety practices. “With fewer daylight hours and busier schedules, fall is a prime time for families to update a home security and family safety check-list,” said Rebecca Smith, vice president, marketing for Master Lock. “While safety and security should always be top-of-mind, scheduling times throughout the year to address specific topics such as home alone routines, children’s curfews, and property wellness will help ensure that families continue to improve their security year-round.” With that in mind, Master Lock created a series of easy-toremember seasonal safety and security tips to help you prepare and protect your home and family from potential risks. Inspect to Perfect. Home improvement projects are a popular fall activity as families perform necessary maintenance to prepare their houses for long winter months. Take advantage of this time to conduct a mini home inspection to ensure your household basics are functioning. Make sure the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are fully charged, and verify your fire extinguisher has not expired. Lock-it-up for a Touchdown. From football tailgates and apple picking to study groups and fall sports, families tend to be very active during the fall months, often entertaining guests in the home. With everyone coming and going more frequently, be sure that all points of entry to the home are secured, including windows, entryways and garages. Master Lock has a few products that can help: · Cable locks like the 8127TRI keyed alike family 3-pack are ideal for securing items that may be stored outside such as storage sheds, grills, tools, lawn equipment, and bikes that won’t be used again until spring. · The 265D door security bar is perfect for adding extra resistance against forced entry to a sliding glass or traditional hinged door. · A key safe such as the 5400D or 5401D is a convenient way to always have a spare key securely stored where you need it. This set-your-own combination lock box holds up to five keys and can be easily affixed to the doorknob or something permanent nearby, ensuring keys are always readily available. A key safe is a great solution for kids who may be coming home to an empty house after school or activities. Continued on page 90 WINTER 2012/SPRING 2013 • 89 A Beacon of Safety Surf the Web.

Regularly prune landscaping around your doors, windows and entryway, and consider installing lights above doors and near your garage or carport. In addition, a well-lit, easily visible home is much less tempting to a potential burglar. Don’t forget to double-check outdoor light timers to adjust for the change in daylight hours or try solar options that charge themselves and turn on automatically. There’s No “I” in Team…or Safety. Engage the whole family in safety and security planning and schedule a meeting to review house rules, such as curfews, lock-up procedures and what kids should do if they’re home alone. Assigning roles to each family member (i.e. Dad is in charge of closing garage door every night, John checks that the front door is locked, etc.) is a great way to get everyone involved, learn by doing, and share the responsibility. ICE it. Whether your children are headed to an after school practice or spending time in the neighborhood with friends, make sure they always have their In Case of Emergency (ICE) contact information with them. Add parent or guardian names to their cell phone contacts labeled with ICE, name and relationship (i.e. ICE John Dad) and/or include a simple card in their backpack to help any adult reach Mom or Dad if needed.

Additional Security Tips: 1. Embrace the key safe. If your children will be coming home to an empty house after school, or you need to provide secure access to your home for the family dog walker, a key safe such as the 5400D will safely store your house key for easy entry, and eliminate the risk of family members or authorized visitors losing a copy of your key while in transit. Simply set your own easy to remember combination on a key safe, and have peace of mind that family members and authorized visitors can enter your home safely when needed. 2.Lock up while on the go. We carry valuables with us at all times. Encourage your children to store cash, jewelry, cell phones or other small valuables in a secure container such as the SafeSpace® (5900D) or MiniSafeTM (5408D) when at sports practice or other after school and weekend activities. Parents should also secure similar valuables when watching their children’s games, heading out for a Saturday morning walk at the local forest preserve or going for coffee on the weekends. These products safely hold your valuables and can also be secured to a fixed object, allowing you or your children to enjoy various activities carefree. 3. Start a neighborhood watch. Your street, parks and neighborhood should be an area where you and your family feel most comfortable. Forming relationships with neighbors can ensure there are additional watchful eyes on your home. Take this one step further by mobilizing a group of surrounding homeowners, encouraging each other to keep your eyes and ears open for anything suspicious and arranging regular patrols to increase neighborhood activity. In many cases, local police departments or PTAs will have resources to help you get started. 4. Trust your instincts. If a specific person or place causes you to feel uneasy, avoid the situation by removing yourself completely, and alert authorities if a suspicious person is lurking in your neighborhood. 5. If a crime occurs, report it! Don’t be afraid or embarrassed to share with the police, family or friends if you experience some sort of crime, regardless of how small. Relating your experiences can help the police or other families ensure the incident does not occur again.

B –By Porcshe Moran– Boats are an essential mode of transportation at the Lake of the Ozarks. Whether you are cruising to a restaurant or entertainment venue or participating in exhilarating water sports, there’s a style and price for everyone. In 2013, boat buyers will continue to look for the most value for their dollar without sacrificing comfort and visual appeal. Manufacturers are responding to these demands with new styles and accessories to keep water travel exciting. Local boat dealers anticipate that 2013 will be a good year for sales as the economy begins to rebound and buyers reenter the market.

At 35’ in length, the Crossover is one of the largest bowriders on the market. Chad Neubauer, manager at Formula Boats of Missouri says the large watercraft allows for more passengers and a smoother ride on the Lake’s rough waters. It also features double wide, forward facing seats and a queen size cabin below the bridge deck with private bathroom for overnights. Kelly also predicts that larger bowriders and pontoon boats will be in demand for 2013.

Belluchi says that Sea-Doo personal watercraft, which is sold at Yacht Club Marina, will feature new colors in 2013 and continue to be the only brand on the market with an intelligent brake and reverse (iBR) system. Kyle Kelly, manager at Kelly’s Port, also reports an uptick in sales and says he expects more consumers to trade in their old boats for new models in the coming year. Bigger is better seems to be the mantra for the latest in boats. Consumers want more space to accommodate family and friends as well as various water activities. Walk-around boats powered by outboards and larger swim platforms are two features that are gaining in popularity according to Tim Schoening, owner of TriToon Town. The open stern 2013 JC Manufacturing Limited 242 is a boat that Schoening says will get a lot of attention in the New Year. The 24’ aluminum pontoon has a four-stroke Suzuki engine with 150 horsepower. 114 • RELOCATING TO THE LAKE OF THE OZARKS PHOTO © CATALINA, COURTESY OF OZARK YACHT CLUB “There has been a shift away from big cruisers as people are looking for something more functional,” explains Kelly. “Pontoons used to be boxy and have a reputation for poor performance, but now they are becoming more stylish and drive just as well as, or better than, some of the fiberglass products.” The Sea Ray 370 Venture is being called a game changer by reviewers and local dealers like Dave Bigge, director of operations at MarineMax. The 37’ express cruiser has a mid-cabin, full beam master stateroom that can comfortably sleep four people. The large cockpit has room for up to six people to sit comfortably at a table. The design is inspired by European craftsmanship with large, long windows, plenty of cabinet storage, and a spacious, wide U-shaped banquette. “The all-new 370 Venture delivers the social benefits of a premium sport cruiser with the functional benefits of dualoutboard motors,” says Bigge. For 2013, Sea Ray will also produce the 350 Sundancer with a new cockpit design for entertaining, and the 510 Sundancer which features an upper atrium, solid rear 116 • RELOCATING TO THE LAKE OF THE OZARKS COURTESY OF GLENCOVE Midwest Touchless Boat Covers LLC “...people are looking for something more functional...” PHOTO © YAMAHA, COURTESY OF SURDYKE YAMAHA glass doors, and unrestricted space from the lower salon and galley to the elevated helm area.

For instance, touchscreen marine navigation and Bluetooth technology is becoming more prevalent and affordable for smaller boats. Bigge says the Quiet Ride technology offered exclusively by Sea Ray sets the brand apart from its competition. It is described as a method of noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) reduction that provides a smoother ride and maximizes the luxury boating experience. Joystick control which makes docking easier and safer and electronic anchors that use GPS positioning are other examples of how boats are embracing the future. “With all of the technology that people have at home and carry with them each day, there is an expectation that boats will keep up,” says Cramer. “Boat owners want to have access to all of the modern amenities when they are on the water.” S AR YE 23 E VIC SER OF Best of the Lake 2010 and 2011 Best Docks, Best Deals!
