(No Commercial Vehicles) Well System Parts Vital For Good Water Quality (NAPSA)—If you ever get water from a well, you should know there’s more to it than just, well, a well. In fact, a water well is really a water well system because it con- sists of numerous components—many of which can affect water quality if not well maintained. What’s In A Well These components are designed to protect water from contaminants that are harmful to health or adversely affect the wa- ter’s appearance, taste or odor. They include: • The Well Casing: This is the tubular structure that is placed in the drilled well to maintain the opening. Along with grout, the casing confi nes the groundwater to its zone underground and can prevent contami- nants from mixing with the water. The most common materials for well casings are carbon steel, plastic (most com- monly PVC), and stainless steel. Different geologic formations dictate which type of casing can be used. Residents in some areas have a choice between steel and PVC, both of which have advantages. PVC is lightweight, resistant to corrosion, and relatively easy for contractors to install. However, it is not as strong and not as resis- tant to heat as steel. Steel, though, is suscep- tible to corrosion, can have scale buildup, and can cost more than PVC. If the casing is suffi ciently corroded or breaks, or if the grouting fails, contaminants could enter the well and compromise your water quality. Your best protection is to get a periodic water well system inspection to identify any such problems. • The Well Cap: This goes on top of the well casing. It should fi t snugly so debris, insects or small animals can’t fi nd their way into the well system. The well cap should be bolted or locked so it cannot be easily removed. Well caps are usually aluminum or ther- moplastic and have a vented screen so the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the well casing will be equalized when water is pumped from the well. A cracked or loose well cap could allow outside contaminants, including bacteria via insects or vermin, into the well. Well owners should visually inspect their well cap from time to time and contact a water well sys- Whether you get great water out of your well depends, in part, on the sum of its parts. tem professional if a problem is detected. • The Pitless Adapter: This connector is used in places where freezing occurs. It’s installed underground below the frost line to provide a sanitary seal between the well casing and the water line running to the house. If this seal is compromised, it could allow bacteria or other contamination into the well. A water well system contractor can determine whether a faulty pitless adapter is contributing to such water quality prob- lems. • The Well Screen: This prevents excess sediment from entering the well. The screen attaches to the bottom of the casing, letting water move through the well while keeping out most gravel and sand. There are assorted styles of screens, and a water well system professional can deter- mine which type is best suited to your well. The wrong type of screen or a deteriorated screen could allow sediment, sand and grav- el into your well and your water. The National Ground Water Association (NGWA) advises household well owners to maintain their well systems, including these important components, to protect drinking water quality and health.

Most unsolicited stock recommendations involve stocks that can’t meet the listing re- quirements of The Nasdaq Stock Market, The New York Stock Exchange or other U.S. stock exchanges. Instead, these stocks tend to be quoted on an over-the-counter (OTC) quota- tion platform. Companies that list their stocks on reg- istered exchanges must meet minimum list- ing standards. For example, they must have minimum amounts of net assets and mini- mum numbers of shareholders. In contrast, companies quoted on the OTCBB or OTC Link generally do not have to meet any min- imum listing standards (although compa- nies quoted on the OTCBB, OTC Link’s OTC- QX and OTCQB marketplaces are subject to some initial and ongoing requirements). 4. Read a company’s SEC fi lings. Most public companies fi le reports with the SEC. Check the SEC’s EDGAR database at www. SEC.gov/EDGAR to fi nd out whether the company fi les with the SEC. Read the reports and verify any information you have heard about the company. But remember, the mere fact that a company has registered its securities or has fi led reports with the SEC doesn’t mean the company will be a good investment. If you’re suspicious about an offer or if you think the claims might be exagger- ated or misleading, you can contact FINRA at www.FINRA.org/Investors/File-Complaint.

Publication Date: January 10, 2018 Beware Of Stock Fraud In The Wake Of Natural Disasters (NAPSA)—Financial fraud routinely fol- lows on the heels of natural disasters like hurricanes, wildfi res and earthquakes—but you don’t have to be a victim. After a disas- ter, you may receive unsolicited phone calls, e-mails and texts, including from messaging apps, about investments that exploit a vari- ety of disaster-related opportunities. Best bets for scams include stock or crowdfunding investments associated with cleanup, rebuilding, and breakthroughs in science and technology that purport to address current and future issues related to the disaster. While it is conceivable that some of the claims are true, many could turn out to be bogus—or even scams. Spotting Scams Unsolicited communications about in- vestments that exploit natural disasters fre- quently include price targets or predictions of swift and exponential growth and might even cite respected news sources to bolster those claims. They might also claim the com- pany has contracts with government agen- cies or well-known companies. More than anything, these pitches include pressure to invest immediately, suggesting “You must act now!” How To Avoid Getting Scammed To avoid potential scams, make sure you get the information you need to make a wise investment choice. 1. Before you invest, ask and check. Never rely solely on information from an unsolicited e-mail, text message or cold call from an “analyst” or “account executive” promoting a stock. It’s easy for companies or their promoters to make glorifi ed claims about new products, lucrative contracts, or the company’s revenue, profi ts or future stock price. Ask questions about the invest- ment and use FINRA BrokerCheck at Bro- kerCheck.FINRA.org to check registration status and other information on investment professionals and fi rms. 2. Find out who sent the message. Many companies and individuals who tout stock are corporate insiders or paid stock promoters. Look for statements (usually found in the fi ne print) that indicate cash payments or the receipt of stock for dissemi- nating a report on the company. Gift Certificates must be picked up within 2 weeks of winning or bring in a clipping to attach to your entry into the drawing for a gift certificate.
