Maui woman places second in moving-tips contest

Associated Press

AVON, Ohio — An Ohio company looking for the best moving tips has awarded the top prize to a woman who numbers her boxes in order of importance for unpacking.

Tina Rath of Fayetteville, N.C., says she also learned to pack breakfast items in box No. 1, so you can at least make a morning meal for the family after arriving at the new place.

Rath wins $2,500 from Henkel Corp., the Cleveland area company known for the Duck brand of adhesive tapes and moving products.

The second-place $1,500 prize in Henkel's "Moving Made Easy Contest" goes to Stacy Baqui of Wailuku, Maui. She suggested packing children's rooms separately using color-coded boxes.
