IT’S COLLECTION TIME WYOMING — After teetering on the edge for months, St. James of the Valley School in Wyoming is closing.

A local artist who addswhimsy to acrylics willshowcase her landscapecollages through Marchat the Westheimer Gal-lery in Sharonville.

Kate Albert, of Mil-ford, started her career atthe golf course, when shewas commissioned topaint scenes of a localcourse in 2004.

“They were so well re-ceived by members that Idecided to keep painting,”she said. “I wanted to dosomething to reach abroader audience and de-cided to do the Cincinnatipieces.”

Those works are whim-sical collages of land-scapes including Glen-wood Gardens, CincinnatiMuseum Center, Cincin-nati Observatory, MountAdams and her most re-cent, Milford.

“I have a lot of pride inour city, and I like convey-ing that in my artwork,”Albert said.

Her collages capturethe spirit of the land-scape.

“The first thing I do isfind out what makes thisplace great,” Albert said.“That’s what people wantto see.

“I start with the historyof the town. You want tofind a balance of histori-cal and eclectic, but youwant to make sure it’s go-ing to appeal to every-one.”

Her latest work, Mil-ford, includes includesMain Street and the Cin-cinnati Nature Center.

“Since I’m an outdoorlover, I gravitate to thingspeople would like to expe-rience too, like the riverand bike trail, the broadscope of things that makeMilford great.”

When she pieced to-gether the elements of thecollage, she found a barespot. Since she lives there,she know just how to fillthat space: her own house.

“I’m painting an es-say,” she said. “That’swhat makes it challeng-ing.

“You have to knowwhen to stop, so it’s not toocrowded.”

Albert’s exhibit also in-cludes paintings of vari-ous birds. She photo-graphs each bird, some-times collecting as manyas 100 photos for a singlebird, then paints from the

photo. Albert’s exhibit, “Eyes

on Cincinnati,” will be dis-played through March atthe Westheimer Gallery,11165 Reading Road. Theexhibit is free and open to

the public.The Westheimer Gal-

lery is open Thursdaysand Fridays from 3 p.m. to7 p.m., and Saturdaysfrom 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The New Voices Program,funded through the MayersonFoundation, is a five-week expe-rience in which MND photogra-phy students, under the direc-tion of faculty members DeniseScharf and Beth Wurzelbacher,met with residents at the HydePark Health Center to listen tostories about their childhoods,careers and families.

I know I “jumped the gun” when Icleared out the end of the garden nearthe elderberries and mulch pile tocreate a space for my cold frame.

Well, it wasn’t entirely my fault.The weather was sunny and over 60degrees and I was just itching to startplanting.

We lugged the railroad ties over tomake a rectangle, filled it with loamysoil and mulch and sowed rows ofearly veggies and greens: radishes,lettuces, beets and carrots.

I put a clear plastic shield over it to keepin warmth and I could just see in my mind’seye a few weeks down the road, pickinggreens and pulling radishes.

Of course, Mother Nature had thelast laugh when the temperaturedipped below freezing the next fewnights. But I’m undeterred.

I’m still thinking about a bountifulspring harvest, but not in a fewweeks.

Meanwhile, we have Passover andEaster to think about, so here’s twogood recipes for both.

Brisket, ham for Passover, EasterMy best Passover brisket

The ingredients here are commonly used for preparing brisket. Thetechnique is what’s important. Brisket needs long, slow cooking to becometender when you roast it in the oven or on top of the stove. Brisket some-times comes in large quantities. I had the butcher at Jungle Jims cut a largeone in half for me as the eight-pound roast in the meat department was justtoo big. So don’t be shy about asking if the roast you see is too big. Wonder-ful for Passover or if you want a tummy-filling, good tasting, easy roast

1 brisket, trimmed of fat - mine was 3 pounds1 bottle, 12 oz. chili sauce1 pouch dry onion soup mix1 can regular Coke, 12 oz.

Preheat oven to 350. Place brisket in oven proof pot with lid. Mixsauce, soup and coke together and pour over brisket. Roast, covered, for 1hour, then turn temperature down to 250 and roast, covered, for 4-5 hours.Four hours will give a tender roast which slices easily. Five hours will giveyou a meltingly tender, fall apart roast and to me, this is the best one so ifyou can spare 5 hours, do it.

You can skim fat off top and slice meat and serve with gravy rightaway or cool to room temperature in the pan and put the whole thing inthe frig several hours or overnight. The fat will congeal to the top and youcan lift it off. Reheat roast with the gravy. You can slice it against the grainso it won’t be stringy before reheating or reheat it unsliced and slice itafterwards.

Tip from Rita’s kitchenFor a 5- to 8-pound roast, double the gravy ingredients.

Homemade spiced honey glaze for spiral ham

Sean T., a Cleves reader, shares this recipe. He found it in a food maga-zine and tested it out ahead of time for Easter. “I like the spiral ham butwanted to make a simple, not too spicy, homemade glaze for it and I likethis one”, he told me. This is enough for an 8- to 10-pound ham.

Boil at a gentle boil together for about 5 minutes:

3 cups honey1 tablespoon cinnamon1 tablespoon whole cloves3 tablespoons butter

Preheat oven to 325. Place ham on baking sheet and brush half thehoney mixture over and in between slices. Do this often with rest of mixtureuntil ham is crisp around the edges and reaches an internal temperature of120. This takes about an hour or so, Sean said.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen: A citrus touchHow about stirring in a cup or so of orange marmalade to the honey

mixture? Sounds good to me, so let me know if you do this and how youlike it.

March 18 questionWhat are your predictions for March

Madness - the NCAA Tournament? Inhow many bracket pools will you partic-ipate?

“My prediction is that Kentucky isgoing to win it all. Bench depth is soimportant in the tournament sinceyou never know when you’ll have oneof the starters get into foul trouble.

“With Kentucky that doesn’t mat-ter since their bench players are prob-ably just a slight percentage dropoffin ability from the starters. No otherteam in the tournament has such tal-ent and depth that can come off thebench and not have the team miss abeat.

“I’ll probably enter two brackets,one a friend of mine is running and an-other from work. It won’t really mat-ter since by Thursday late PM, I willalready have lines drawn through myselections, on my way to another dis-appointing failure at bracket perfec-tion.”

C.S.

“Zero.”D.H.

“I’m just sad that the Blue Jacketswon’t be facing off against Ottawa

this year. Never heard the StanleyCup called March Madness. Wheredid that term originate?”

D.B.

“My prediction for March Mad-ness is Michigan State for the wholeenchilada. However, since they failedto make the bracket, I may possiblyneed to reconsider. UK is the pre-sumptive star and I can support them.I am only in one pool at work and thatis aimed at giving most of the pro-ceeds to charity. The one thing MarchMadness always stirs up for me is thequestion that if NCAA basketball cando an all-inclusive tournament lead-ing to a true and real national champi-on, why can’t they do the same thingfor NCAA football?”

Sharon had a smashing idea– why not have an art showfeaturing the work of the resi-dents? To undertake planningand executing an art showright after Christmas wasquite a task. Without skipping abeat, Sharon and her three

Sharon is well aware of theimaginations and abilities thatstill reside in the spirits ofdementia sufferers.

WYOMING — After a second-place finish last season, theWyoming High School baseballteam will be shooting for theirfirst Cincinnati Hills League ti-tle since 2007.

Coach Chris Fieherer’s Cow-boys were 11-3 in the CHL and20-10 overall last season, bothslightly behind the MadeiraMustangs. The Cowboys wontwo games in the tournamentover Taylor and WesternBrown, before falling 5-4 toMonroe last May 24.

Wyoming faces early adver-sity this season as four-year var-sity infielder Parker Chalmersis set to miss significant time re-covering from an injury. Chal-mers was first team all-leaguelast year and hit .385. His threehome runs tied him with Marie-mont’s James Allen and formerCowboy Will Marty for the CHLlead.

Other starters returning forWyoming are pitcher/thirdbaseman Tucker Marty, pitcherJoe Rominger, outfielder/sec-ond baseman Prajit Goli, middleinfielder Sam Izenson, outfield-er Connor Eldredge and catcherTim Rice. All are seniors.

“I like the fact that many ofthese seniors have been a partof back-to-back 20 win sea-sons,” Fiehrer said. “Our kidshave worked as hard in the off-season as any team I’ve had. Wehave a great group of kids andmany are ready to step up andlead.”

In addition to Chalmers, topreturning hitters from last yearfor Fiehrer are junior Sam Mar-ty at .357, and seniors Rice at.310 and Eldredge at .292. JuniorBrendan Madden hit .289 andsenior Tucker Marty was at .271.

On the mound, Rominger andTucker Marty had the most in-nings a year ago of the return-ing hurlers, followed by Izensonand Sam Marty.

“Our success will be very de-pendent on our defense andpitching,” Fiehrer said. “We re-

turn some quality arms in Tuck-er Marty and Joe Rominger. Wehave a lot of other players thatwe believe are going to give usquality innings.”

Wyoming starts the seasonApril 2 at Edgewood. Their firstleague game ia April 6 againstMadeira in a Reds FuturesShowcase game at Crosley Fieldin Blue Ash. Crosley will againserve as Wyoming’s home field.

“Our league shapes up to bevery tough and we’ll need toplay mistake-free baseball tocompete,” Fiehrer said.

The players who were sopho-mores when Rick Wilson tookover the Princeton programthree years ago are now seniorsand he said they’ve truly boughtin. Wilson has 15 seniors on hisroster this year and they wouldlike to turn things around fromlast year’s 4-22 mark (1-17 inGreater Miami Conference).The Vikings have eight return-ing starters back.

“This is the first group thathas bought in as sophomores.They wanted something moreand something different,” Wil-son said. “They also know theobstacles that we have in theleague, from top to bottomwe’re in the strongest baseballleague in the state. It’s as goodas it gets. We know what we’rein for.”

The cornerstone of the Vik-ings will be pitching depth inseniors Jake Taylor, BrandonBlankenship, Logan Reitter(Asbury College signee) and ju-nior Jordan Bingham.

“Any one of those four couldbe the ace. I’m confident I couldstart any of those four and we’llhave a fighting chance,” Wilsonsaid.

The pitching depth couldhave been better, but unfortu-nately, senior Brett Bosel hadTommy John surgery so he’ll belimited to playing first base andhitting. Wilson said that Bosel,who was second team All-GMClast season, was touching 90miles an hour on his fastballover the summer until the inju-ry occurred in the fall. Bosel,who hit .283 and led team with 17

hits last season, is signed withWabash junior college.

Senior third baseman Mor-gan Griffin returns; he’s a mid-dle-of-the-lineup guy who ledthe team with 10 RBI last sea-son. The Vikings are led defen-sively by sophomore shortstopAaron Levy, whom Wilson de-scribed as “a real good one.”

Wilson also said senior Tay-lor Lewellen made the movefrom infield to catcher.

“Because we need a catcher,he’s gonna step up and he’s sac-rificing for our team when he’sreally a middle infielder,” Wil-son said, adding that the Vikingshave some young talentedcatchers in the program whojust aren’t ready this year.

The Vikings open their sea-son at 1 p.m.March 28 at homeagainst Turpin.

Though they were second inthe Greater Catholic League-South to Elder last season at 6-3,Moeller High School’s baseballteam made another state run asthey got to the Division I semi-finals at Huntington Park in Co-lumbus and finished with a 24-5record.

Coach Tim Held returns sixsenior starters in infielder JoshHollander, catcher Bailey Mon-toya, outfielder/first basemanBryan Soth, pitcher/designatedhitter Joe Vranesic, infielderKyle Dockus and outfielder Jor-dan Ramey.

Junior outfielder Kyle Butzand junior pitcher Nick Bennettwere also key contributors and

senior pitcher/infielder GrantMacciocchi is back after deal-ing with injuries his junior sea-son.

Butz is the top returning hit-ter at .436, while Soth returns at.364. Dockus and Vranesic wereat .315 and .310, respectivelywith Vranesic leading in thepower department with a pair ofhome runs.

Lefty Bennett is the top re-turning pitcher with four wins

and 39 strikeouts, while Vranes-ic had 40 strikeouts.

“Our offense looks to be verysolid with the number of play-ers we are returning,” Heldsaid. “Our starting pitchingshould be solid as well. Our ex-perience will be key as a lot ofcurrent seniors played signifi-cant innings last year as ju-niors.”

Moeller’s roster is fertilewith college talent. Hollander,Soth and Vranesic are KentState signees; Macciocchi is go-ing to Missouri; Montoya toDayton; Dockus to Wright State;Ramey to Cincinnati and pitch-er Zach Hoffman is heading toMiami University. Two juniorpitchers have already commit-ted with Nick Bennett going toLouisville and Cameron Junkerto Notre Dame.

The Crusaders start the sea-son March 28 with a double-header at Schuler Park againstTroy and Strongsville.

Jerry Campbell is back for asecond season as the WyomingHigh School softball coach afterfinishing his inaugural run in theCincinnati Hills League at 7-7.The Cowboys were 11-8 overalland return seven starters.

Wyoming’s only seniors arein the middle of the infield insecond baseman Erin Campbelland shortstop Olivia Munneke.Other players to watch includejunior Allison Golden and sopho-mores Reily Boss and ReaganRaymer.

Raymer made CHL firstteam last season with Boss, ErinCampbell and Munneke makingsecond team. Raymer led theteam in hitting at .534. JerryCampbell was Co-Coach of theYear with Taylor’s John Scha-blein.

“Last year we had a veryyoung team that experiencedsuccess,” Campbell said. “Withseven returning starters andpromising freshmen, we expectto continue to improve. Weshould be stout defensively andour pitching is improved. Wehave a demanding schedule this

year and I expect our players toembrace the challenge.”

Wyoming’s season beginsApril 6 against Madeira.

A new head coach hopes tobring with it a culture change atPrinceton. Emily Breitholletakes over a Princeton team thatwent 1-26 last season, but theVikings return nearly all theirstarters so they should be a bet-ter team this year.

Princeton has eight seniorsthis year: Brianna Carpenter,Lamaya Lattimore, Reba Peter,Anna Sies, Sydni Vazquez, Ali-son West and Gabby Fuqua. Sen-ior Nicole Lohmueller is unableto play this season due to inju-ries, but she’s staying on as amanager where she’ll continueto help lead in a different waythis season.

Carpenter, a returning start-er who’ll play catcher and thirdbase, led the team last season inbatting average (.283), hits (17)and doubles (eight). Lattimore’sa returning starter at shortstop,Sies is a returning starter in theoutfield and West is a returningstarting pitcher. Vazquez re-turns to the Vikings after takinga year off.

“This year, we’ve emphasizedcommunication and working to-gether as a team,” Breithollesaid. “We’ve done some team-bonding events that have helpedout and some girls are alreadystepping up as leaders.”

Breitholle said that an areashe’d like to see her Vikingsgrow would be in their knowl-edge of the game.

“I think the girls get the ba-sics,” Breitholle said. “But, theyneed to be able to think aheadand be proactive about plays andsituations.”

Princeton opens on the roadat Ursuline March 28.

Though they’ve developed areputation in volleyball and bas-ketball, Mount Notre DameHigh School would like to earnsome notoriety in the spring.

Coach Michelle Meenach’sCougars were fifth in the GirlsGreater Catholic League lastseason at 3-7, but were13-11over-

all. From that squad, seven start-ers return in senior catcher/out-fielder/infielder Maddie Taney,senior infielder Kate Jennings,senior outfielder MeredithShaffer, junior infielder/catcherLexi Ripperger, junior pitcherSydney Zeuch, sophomore in-fielder Macy Taney and sopho-more outfielder Shelby Nelson.

In addition, freshmen JoelieZielinski, a utility player, andEmma Benz, a pitcher/firstbaseman, should make key con-tributions.

“’Joe’ (Zielinski) will be ahuge addition to the team thisseason,” Meenach said. “Wheth-er she is in the infield or the out-field, she is a nautral. Her batwill also come in handy at the topof the line-up.”

Ripperger and Maddie Taneywere GGCL first team last sea-

son. Ripperger hit .448 and had23 steals, while Nelson tied forthe league-lead in hitting as afreshman at .500 (29-58).

“We have an amazing core ofplayers and an additional sevenfreshmen that will be a huge ad-dition to our team,” Meenachsaid. “We’re very excited to con-tinue the improvement of ourprogram. With five seniors thisseason, it will be interesting tosee where they take their teamtheir final season. These girlshave the will to win and theywent over and above this off-season to prepare themselves.”

MND starts the season with apair of games March 28 againstFinneytown and Turpin.

Ursuline Academy lost plen-ty of seniors from last year’sGirls Greater Catholic Leaguechampionship team. However,

head coach Missy Keith is confi-dent a new crop will lead theteam to its third conferencecrown in a row.

The Lions, which finished16-7 overall and 9-1 inside theconference last year, lost first-team all-GGCL performers inKaitlin Barbiere, MackenzieRobinson and Danielle Stiene,who was also the conference’splayer of the year. However, thecupboard is far from bare.

Ursuline returns OliviaAmiott-Seel, another first-teamall-conference performer, andsecond-team members AnnaHecht, Mailey Lorio and MollyPowers. The coach added thather team is younger in the pitch-ing circle and will count on soph-omore Kristyn Aiello this year.

The Lions will also look forcontributions from senior Em-ma Darlington.

“This group has stepped up asleaders, doing everything fromworking hard in the weight roomto the practice field,” Keith said.“If they buy in, continue to workhard and prepare like theyshould, it should be a good sea-son.”

Wyoming second baseman ErinCampbell runs to first during agame with Batavia last May.

EVANSTON — Moeller HighSchool senior Nate Fowlerplayed his last prep basketballgame at Xavier University’sCintas Center.

Unfortunately, it was lastseason when he was a junior.

Thanks to a preseason injury,the Butler commit was onlybeen allowed to watch from thebench this season as he healed.The only other current Crusad-er who saw the floor in lastyear’s season-ending loss wasreserve guard Kevin Kerley.

Minus their 6-foot-9 big man,the Crusaders managed a dis-trict title in Dayton with newplayers to earn the return trip toXavier March 18 againstSpringfield.

That’s where the Wildcatswere waiting with a 6-foot-9 be-hemoth of their own.

Springfield junior DariusHarper blocked two Moellershot attempts in the game’s fi-nal seconds and senior AnthonyFreeman made a pair of keythree-pointers down the stretchas the Wildcats defeated theCrusaders 51-47 to advance tothe Division I regional final.

The smaller Crusaders heldHarper to seven points and sixrebounds, but he made his pres-ence known by changing andblocking shots.

In addition to Freeman going4-5 from the arc for 12 points,sophomore Danny Davis was3-7 for 14 points.

“Gutsy performance by ourkids against a great team,”Springfield coach Isiah Carsonsaid. “That’s a good programthat we beat twice this year.”

The Wildcats also beat Moell-er on Jan. 3, 74-72 in overtime.

In the second match withSpringfield, the score was tiedseven times, including 19-19 atthe half and 34-all after threequarters.

The lead changed 10 times.Even though the Wildcatsjumped ahead by seven in thefourth quarter, the Crusaderswere able to cut it to a bucket ona Grant Pitman drive with 1:37left.

Springfield then appeared tobe slowing it down before sen-ior Freeman launched a treyfrom the corner that hit the bot-tom of the net to the dismay ofthe Moeller faithful.

Pitman again got Moellerwithin two on a three-ball with

:29 left. Moeller then got the ballback with 17 ticks remaining.Springfield’s Harper thenblocked Trey McBride and Ri-ley Voss on consecutive posses-sions to eventually seal the win.

“I’m extremely proud of thisteam,” Moeller coach CarlKremer said. “Some peoplewrote us off when we were 5-5.We had to ask a lot of a lot of ourguys. We got to the final 16 in thestate and we really thought wewere capable of winning thisgame.”

Moeller was led by sopho-more Voss with 12 points and 11rebounds. Senior Pitman had 11points and junior McBride hadseven points and 10 rebounds.Moeller outrebounded Spring-field 37-29.

“It really was a proud yearfor Moeller basketball,” Krem-er said. “This was the mostbrand new team we ever had.We thought Nate (Fowler) wasgoing to be the centerpiece. Wehad some guys that grew upfast. Riley Voss delivered andNate Georgeton delivered and alot of guys delivered. We’redeeply disappointed but incred-ibly proud. I hope these kidsrealize what was accomplishedthis season.”

The Jewish Communi-ty Relations Council willpresent the inauguralDick Weiland Communi-ty Relations Award at theJCRC’s annual meetingin June at the MayersonJCC, 8585 Ridge Road.

The award is named inhonor of long-time Cin-cinnati activist DickWeiland, and will be giv-en to community leaderswho exemplify Weiland’sability to promote inclu-sion while collaboratingwith leaders from di-verse communities to ad-dress issues facing theGreater Cincinnati area.

Nominees will be so-licited from throughout

the community, with anadvisory board selectingthe winner.

The award will in-clude a generous sum tobe donated to a cause ofthe winner’s choosing.

Weiland is raisingfunds to endow theaward for years to come.

“Weiland’s namesakewas in perfect alignmentfor this award,” said Sa-rah Weiss, director of theJewish Community Rela-tions Council.

“He played a pivotalrole in the Civil RightsMovement here in Cin-cinnati, and continues tomake an impact on the lo-cal, national and global

community after morethan 50 years. Further,we hope the award willinspire others to emulateDick’s remarkable abili-ty to build broad coali-tions to solve communitychallenges.”

Weiland Hall at He-brew Union College-Jewish Institute of Reli-gion, Weiland Building atTalbert House, The Wei-land Rosedale EducationCenter at Kollel and theDick Weiland Ballfieldon Queen City Ave arejust a few of the 14 estab-lishments currentlynamed in Weiland’s hon-or.

Additionally, his con-

tributions have also beenrecognized in the CedarVillage Room, Marcia &Dick Weiland Theater atCamp Livingston, theWeiland-Zeff House atHalom, a Gate in Mt. Sco-pus, Israel, a scholarshipfund at Cincinnati State,Weiland Hall at Hospiceof Cincinnati, and theShuttlesworth-Weilandroom on ShuttlesworthWay.

“I’m honored that thisaward will be used togive recognition to otheractivists in our commu-nity who are making ourworld a better, more justplace to live,” said Wei-land.

Weiland works close-ly with about 40 non-profits, with the TalbertHouse at the top of thelist.

During his many dec-ades of advocacy, he hasbeen recognized for se-curing Holocaust repa-rations for survivorsthroughout the world,and has been credited forkeeping the HebrewUnion College from leav-ing the Greater Cincin-nati area, an achieve-ment he refers to as “oneof the most importantthings I’ve ever done.”

Additionally, hemarched with nonviolentprotesters for voting

rights for African Amer-icans (led by The Rev. Dr.Martin Luther King Jr.from Selma to Montgo-mery, Alabama, in 1965)and founded the HalomHouse in 1982 to provideservices for adults withdevelopmental disabili-ties.

More recently, Wei-land gifted half a milliondollars to CincinnatiState for a fund allocatedfor community-basedscholarships in memoryof Rev. Fred Shuttles-worth, a prominent ac-tivist who advocated onbehalf of civil rights inthe 1950s and 1960s.

Anytime you are at faultin a driving accident youcan expect all insurancecompanies to know. That’swhat Jerry, from RisingSun, Indiana, says he’slearned.

He writes,” How canmy insurance companyraise my rates on an acci-dent that was paid by mywife’s insurance in her car?My rates will not be re-duced for three years. (Myinsurance company) hadnothing in the game what-soever, and are profitingfor no reason.”

Jerry goes on to write,“They go by a CLUE re-port that says I was thedriver in a paid-accidentclaim. But still, it had noth-ing to do with (my insur-ance company).”

That CLUE report iscritical to your insurancecompany learning aboutthe accident. Anytime youfile a liability claim with aninsurance company it isreported to the Compre-hensive Loss UnderwritingExchange.

Usually, your CLUEscore is assessed whenyour insurance policycomes up for renewal. Anymonetary claim you filewith an insurance compa-

ny is re-ported toCLUE. Allyour claimsare groupedtogether soan insurercan assessyour insur-ance behav-ior patterns.So, several

auto insurance claims can,for instance, lead to higherpremiums for your home-owners insurance.

To avoid increasedinsurance rates its best tofile as few claims as pos-sible. Don’t file a claim forsmall amounts if they areonly slightly more thanyour deductible. Save anyinsurance claims you mayfile for major, costly acci-dents. That will keep yourCLUE score as low aspossible which will saveyou money on premiumsfor every type of insurancepolicy you buy.

Any insurance claimyou file will remain in theCLUE database for sevenyears from the date youfiled them. Some insurancecompanies keep track ofyour calls if you ask wheth-er you are covered for aloss – and such calls can

later be used against you –but such information is notreported to CLUE.

Statistics show if youfiled an insurance claim inthe past, you’re more likelyto do so in the future. Theamount of the claim, offi-cials say, is less importantthan the number of timesyou file.

Your insurance premi-ums are also determinedby other factors includingyour age, gender, maritalstatus, occupation, educa-tion level, and credit score.That credit score tellscompanies how much debtyou carry and whether ornot you pay your bills ontime.

The Insurance Informa-tion Institute says studiesshow how people managetheir money is a good in-dicator of whether theywill file an insurance claim.

Remember, the biggerthe risk you are to theinsurance company, thehigher the premium you’llbe charged—or you mayeven be denied coverage.
