How do I know if my home is free from mold, mildew or other toxic things that can be harmful to my family? My two children are under seven. I hear so many things that scare me. I want to feel safe in my house. My house was built in 1967.
Also, is there a reliable inspection service that checks out homes for toxic areas?

Dear Cecil,
Last year you gave a few tips on preparing for the winter season. Can you give me some pointers that I can handle as a single mom? Keep in mind I am not a handy person.

Dear Cecil,
Hey Cecil what can we expect from NIPSCO this year? Tucker
Tucker cornered me in a grocery store one day last week, my answer:
Well Tuck, the newspaper had headlines that NIPSCO is about to reduce heating bills to natural gas customers in Northeast Indiana by 35 percent. Why? This is due to natural gas stockpiling. Therefore, wholesale prices have dropped. Accordingly NIPSCO gas customers are paying 51 percent less than a year ago. A typical customer can expect to save approximately $324 this heating season. However, due to the economy in our area there will still be struggles of many homeowners when trying to pay these still high monthly bills.
