NOTHING LASTS
FOREVER
While most of us really do know
that nothing lasts forever, we tend
to forget that maxim when it
applies to foods on the pantry shelf
and in the freezer. All food has a
definite shelf life whether it is on
the pantry shelf or in the home
freezer.
Shelf life for food in the home
freezer refers to the period of time
that food scientists recommend it
be stored before it is used. Keeping
it in the freezer for longer than the
recommended time does not mean
that it has spoiled or is unsafe to
use; however, food stored long
beyond its shelf life may lose its
quality. Storage over a long period
of time may cause some change in
appearance, color, moisture, tex
ture and taste for most foods.
While storage charts, found in
home freezer booklets, developed
by the U.S. Department of Agri
culture and food science research
offer basic guidelines for freezing
and storing foods, storage times

will vary based on the following
factors:
* Quality of the food before it
was frozen. Select fresh, unbruised
top quality fruits and vegetables
for freezing.
* Packaging or wrap used. Start
with moisture-proof, vapor-proof
packaging material. Remove all air
and seal package well.
* Storage temperature. Recom
mended storage times are based on
a freezer, temperature of 0 degrees
F. or below. At higher freezer
temperature, shelf life will be
shorter.
For example, the recommended
storage time for home frozen ber
ries, cherries and peaches is 12
months. That estimated shelf life
may be only 6 to 8 months if the
freezer temperature is 10 degrees
F. If you do not have a thermome
ter in your freezer, you would be
smart to invest in one. They are not
expensive.
While freezing maintains much
of the flavor and texture of food, it
cannot improve on its quality. For

example, if the fresh fruit you
freeze is past its ripeness peak or is
bruised, it will have these same
qualities when you take it from the
freezer.
The keys to successful freezing
are to select high quality food, pre
pare and package it properly, date
and label the package, store it at 0
degrees F, and then use it within
the recommended storage time.
INSURING COLLEGE
STUDENTS’ PERSONAL
PROPERTY
Most parents will be happily
surprised to know that their home
owners policies will likely provide
adequate coverage on most college
student’s belongings located in
dormitories, with the possible
exception of the personal compu
ter, less the decuctible. However,
you should call your insurance
agent to be sure.
Typically, coverage of property
stolen away from home is limited
to 10 percent of your personal
property insurance. For example,
if your home is insured for
$lOO,OOO, your personal property
is covered for $50,000. The items
your children take to college are
covered for $5,000 minus the
deductible.
There are several ways to handle
additional coverage on the items a
student takes to school if they are
worth more than the 10 percent
off-premises coverage provided as
part of the homeowners policy. For
a student who is under the limit,
except for a few valuable items,
you may add a personal articles

floater to the policy. This enables
you to insure specific items named
in the floater at their full value.
This is an excellent option if your
student is protected by your home
owners with the exception of spe
cific valuables such as jewelry,
camera equipment or furs.
For the student who lives in an
apartment and has a whole house
hold of goods, the simplest way to
take care of covering all articles is
to get additional coverage - “per
sonal property in a secondary resi
dence endorsement.” That is a long
name for a short addition to a
homeowners policy. It gives one
the ability to go beyond the 10 per
cent limit stated in the policy.

parents or students should have
made an inventory of the items
going to school and checked with
their insurance agent whether or
not there is sufficient coverage on
that property. If you did not do this,
have your college student make the
inventory and send it to you. This
inventory will give the family a
record of where items are located
so that in the event of a loss, you
will know what is missing.
