Introducing Kids Connect,

Montvilles newest preschool

and child care center located

at 2 Changebridge Road.

Kids Connect provides a 21stCentury educational environ-

ment including technology, fit-

ness, and a thematic curriculum.

You may wonder why the

philosophy at Kids Connect is

based upon such 21st century

learning, and this is because it

provides newly expanding ideas

that are student driven rather

than teacher-centered. It incor-

porates students connecting

with one another as the teacherobserves, asks questions to pro-

voke critical thinking, and

guides each student to compre-

hend the world around them.

They also have a vision of the

children at Kids Connect being

introduced to technology

through software that provides

developmental progression, and

will ultimately allow them to

network with others of a wider

global community.

Kids Connect strives toprovide a healthy environment

through the use of movement

and exercise. Through physical

activity, your child will establish

a love for

learning and

begin to foster

listening skills

as well as pro-longed con-

centration. As minute as these

attributes may seem, they

become the foundation of life-

long skills including sharing,

group work, attentiveness, and

leadership composing the

greatest well-rounded individ-

ual. Supplementary to the phys-

ical fitness aspects of their pro-

grams, the school supplies chil-

dren with organic beverages and

snacks to encourage a healthy

lifestyle.

Additionally, Kids Connecthas teamed up with Eli Kababa

of the Athletic Arts Dance

Academy, where Mr. Kababa

facilitates Creative Movement

classes to those enrolled at the

preschool. Creative Movement

is geared towards teaching flexi-

The American TaxpayerRelief Act of 2012 was

signed by the President

on Jan. 2, 2013.

The most visible tax

change in the new tax law is

the two percent increase in the

payroll tax. Everyone who

draws a paycheck or has self-

employment income will pay

more in 2013. If youhave $40,000 in wages

in 2013, you will pay

an additional $800 of

payroll taxes over

what you paid in 2012

on the same amount

of wages.

The new law

keeps the income tax

rates the same as theywere in 2012 for most

taxpayers and makes

them permanent.The

new 39.6 percent tax

rate will apply to sin-

gle taxpayers making

over $400,000 and

couples making over

$450,000.

The law puts limitationson the itemized deductions and

personal exemptions for singles

making over $250,000 and

married couples making over

$300,000.

The long-term capital

gains rate will be 20 percent for

singles making over $400,000

and couples making over

$450,000. The prior 15 percent

and zero rates will continue to

apply to those in the lowerbrackets as they did in 2012.

The tax-free distribution

to charity from an IRA by a

taxpayer age 70-1/2 or older

is extended through 2013.

Special rules apply to

December 2012 and January

2013 distributions if the trans-

fer is made to the charity by

Jan. 31, 2013.

A number of education

tax incentives were extendedor made permanent in the new

tax law.

The new law makes per-

manent the $1,000 child tax

credit.

The alternative minimum

tax (AMT) has been perma-

nently patched with a 2012

exemption amount of $50,600

for unmarried taxpayers and

$78,750 for married taxpayers.

The exemption amount will be

adjusted annually for inflation.

On the business front, the

50 percent bonus depreciation

and the $500,000 business

expensing option are extended

through 2013. There are alsonumerous business tax incen-

tives extended through 2013.

There is much more in

the new tax law. Please contact

us for a review of your

tax considerations under the

American Taxpayer Relief Act

of 2012.

New tax law signed as New Year arrives By Robert Sokoloff, CPA


5/28

My column today

starts with an e-mail

I received from a

client; no doubt he just for-

warded it to me from one of his

buddies who got it from one ofhis friends or co-workers. Ive

devoted the next two para-

graphs to sharing it with you.

The Food Stamp Program,

administered by the U.S.

Department of Agriculture, is

actually proud of the fact it is dis-

tributing the greatest amount of

free meals and food stamps ever.

Meanwhile, the National

Park Service, administered by the

U.S. Department of the Interior,instructs us: Please Do Not

Feed the Animals. Their stated

reason for the policy is because

the animals will grow dependent

on hand-outs and will not learn to

take care of themselves. This

ends todays lesson.

More people than ever in

U.S. history are depending on

the government to pay for

their food, medical care and

housing and I want to sharewith you a phone call I

received last week in response

to advertising a house I own in

Morris County for rent. The

caller was excited to hear that

the price was rather reasonable

for a three-bedroom rental at

$1,800 per month. She told me

she has four children and was

being evicted from her current

home because the county

found out that she and her kidswere living in a two-bedroom

rental, which was determined

to be against the law. Three

bedrooms would be acceptable.

Arent you excited? she

asked. Before I could answer,

she chimed in again stating

that the county would pay all

but $60 of her $1,800 month-

ly rent obligation. I asked

about her husband, to which

she replied, I havent got one,but the father of my four kids

visits often.

So what does he do? Iinquired. Her response severely

surprised me. He works in

management and makes

around $70,000 annually

before any bonuses are paid.

Really, I replied in

amazement. So the town pays

your rent. Anything else?

Yes, she proudly stated.

They pay for all of our food,

medical and busing the kids to

school.I was really getting angry

at this point. Your husband

makes $70,000 annually and

youre on the county dole?

She responded that it was so

expensive to live in the area

and she needed some help. So

what gives her the right to live

in an expensive area that she

cant afford? Answer: nothing!

She and her boyfriend are

scamming the system for theirown personal advantage and

getting away with it. The gov-

ernment cannot force people

to marry and therefore she is a

stay-at-home, non-working

mother with four illegitimate

kids. She is, in my opinion, a

criminal, who has legally

cheated the system for years.

Consequently, I did not enter-

tain her tenancy!

Is there a lesson to belearned from these two related

stories? The first one is have a

family without the sanctity of

marriage. The government cre-

ated and perpetuated its own

problem of abusive behavior by

rewarding this behavior,

instead of cutting-off aid after

the second, third or fourth

child. Secondly, if the animals

are trained never to hunt because

food is always provided, youregoing to have a lot of fat, lazy ani-

mals waiting for more hand-outs!

Worse yet, the rest of us con-

tinue to pay for this behavior

in perpetuity! One simple solu-

tion would be to demand a

level of work and activity for

the public good and welfare in

order to receive aid for all of

those able to work. No work:

no pay and no benefits. I

should add here that theprospective tenant who called

me works part time off the

books at a local store so sheproduces not a single penny in

revenue to off-set the thou-

sands of county dollars shereceives every month. She has

nothing to do to increase her

income except to make morechildren with her boyfriend for

the monthly reward. Given

the chance to do the same

thing, how many couples

would not marry, have the

same amount of kids and col-

lect income, housing and ben-

efits for decades? My guess is,

this has and will continue to be

a growth industry, until the

government puts an end to it

or modifies it! And that is partof todays lesson too. What

about pride, up-bringing,

morals and ethics? And not tomention religion? Shouldnt

these also be factors?

Well, introduce depraved

violent video games into our

culture, remove God from the

pledge of allegiance and from

the classrooms of American

schools, and the results are an

increase in violence (some

involving guns), a decrease in

academic achievement and an

acceptance of mediocre grades.In turn, this leads to a depen-

Professional tooth scal-ing was associated with

fewer heart attacks and

strokes in a Taiwanese study.

Among more than 100,000

people, those who had their

teeth scraped

and cleaned by

a dental pro-

fessional had

a 24 percent

lower risk of

heart attackand a 13 per-

cent lower risk

of stroke com-

pared to those

who had never

had a dental

cleaning.

Scientists

c o n s i d e r e d

tooth scaling

frequent if it

occurred atleast at twice

or more in two

years. Patients

were followed for seven yearsand had no history of heart

attack or stroke at the begin-

ning of the study.

Protection from heart

disease and stroke was more pronounced in participants

who got tooth scaling at least

once a year, said Emily

Chen, M.D., a cardiology fel-

low at the Veterans General

Hospital in Tapei, Taiwan.

Dr. Chen said profes-

sional tooth scaling appearsto reduce inflammation-caus-

ing bacterial growth that can

lead to heart disease or

stroke.

Martin Luther King,

Jr. played a pivotal

role in race rela-

tions in the United States for

nearly a decade. He helped

secure the end of legal segre-

gation of African-American

citizens, created the Civil

Rights Act of 1964 and

served as a source of inspira-

tion for black individuals

across the globe.

Dr. King did not begin

his life as a crusader or public

figure. He had much more

modest beginnings in rural

Atlanta. Born Michael King,

Jr., he was the middle child

of Michael King, Sr. and

Alberta Williams King.

Michael King, Sr. served as

pastor of Ebenezer Baptist

Church upon the death of his

father-in-law, who was the

churchs prior pastor. At this

point, the elder king decided

to change his name to

Martin Luther to honor the

famed Protestant religious

leader. His son soon decided

to adopt the name as well.

A religious family, the

Kings tried to shield their

children from the realities of

racism that were alive and

well in the country. They

believed racism and segrega-

tion to be an affront to Gods

will, and Martin, Sr. discour-

aged separation of class and

taught these lessons to his

children. Those lessons res-onated with Martin, Jr.

Dr. King attended

Booker T. Washington High

School and was so advanced

he was able to skip both the

9th and 11th grades. He went

on to college at the age of 15,

graduating from Morehouse

College in 1948 with a

degree in sociology. In his

junior year of college, King

enrolled in a Bible class that

sparked a renewed enthusi-

asm for the ministry. He later

enrolled in the liberal

Crozer Theological Seminary

in Chester, Pennsylvania,where he received a

Bachelors of Divinity. Later

he attended Boston Univer-

sity and earned a Ph.D. at the

age of 25. It was during his

time in Boston that he met

his future wife, Coretta

Scott. While he was com-

pleting his dissertation work,

Dr. King became the pastor

for the Dexter Avenue

Baptist Church of Mont-

gomery, Alabama.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

became directly involved in

the civil rights movement

after the head of the

local NAACP chapter in

Montgomery met with him

on the night that Rosa Parks

was arrested for failure to

give up her bus seat to a

white passenger. Dr. King

helped institute the Mont-

gomery Bus Boycott. During

this time, African-Ameri-

cans refused to ride the

public bus system in

Montgomery. The boycott

lasted 382 days. During that

time, Dr. Kings home was

bombed due to his involve-

ment in the boycott, and he

was arrested for conspiracy.

His work paid off on

December 21, 1956, when

the Supreme Court ruled

that racial segregation on

public transportation was

illegal.

Dr. King promoted non-

violent protests against

unfairness to the African-

American community, urging

civil disobedience and peace-

ful protests, tenets that

formed the basis for

the Southern Christian

Leadership Confer-ence, or

SCLC, which he led. He par-

ticipated in numerous nonvi-

olent protests and was arrest-

ed several times. During one

stint in jail, he penned his

famous, Letter from a

Birmingham Jail.

Dr. King established a

relationship with fellow

African-American civil

rights activist Bayard Rustin,

who shared similar interests,

including the teachings of

Gandhi. Rustin would serve

as Kings mentor and also was

the main organizer of the

March on Washington that

took place on August

28, 1963. Approximately

250,000 demonstrators were

involved in the march, and it

was the largest demonstra-

tion in the nations capital

up to that time. In front of

the Lincoln Memorial, Dr.

King issued his famed I

Have a Dream speech. He

later met with President John

F. Kennedy to appeal for

greater rights for African-

Americans and called for an

end of segregation.

As a result of his civil

rights efforts, Dr. King was

awarded the Nobel Peace

Prize on December 10, 1964,

at the age of 35. He was the

youngest person ever to

receive the honor. He donat-

ed all of the prize money to

his racial equality effort.

Through the late 1960s,

Dr. King expanded his Civil

Rights Movement to other

cities. But he was often met

with criticism, especially

when he appealed to white

middle-class citizens. Many

militant black organizations

considered Kings methods

too weak and ineffective. His

support was faltering and Dr.

King grew weary of marches,

jail and protests. However, in

April of 1968, a labor strike

in Memphis drew Kings

attention, and he gave a

speech about the sanitation

labor dispute, which would

prove to be prophetic. The

next day, on April 4, Dr.

King was hit by a snipers bul-

let while standing on an out-

side terrace of his motel room

at the Lorraine Motel. Kings

words from the previous day,

including, Ive seen the

promised land. I may not get

there with you. But I want

you to know tonight that we,

as a people, will get to the

promised land, were haunt-

ing. James Earl Ray was

charged with the assassina-

tion.

In his honor, Americans

have celebrated Martin

Luther King, Jr. Day as a fed-

eral holiday since 1986. King

was posthumously awarded

the Presidential Medal of

Freedom in 1977. Many

streets have been renamed in

his honor, and Dr. King

remains a source of inspira-

tion decades after his death.

specifically designed activi-

ties to enhance and restore a

persons functional abilities.

Some of the inherent

properties of water make it a

very beneficial environment

for many patients. The buoy-

ancy of the water provides

assistance with movement. It

also decreases the effect of

gravity on the body, which

enables patients to support

themselves more easily and

to bear weight on weak or

painful extremities due to

the decreased stress placed

on muscles, joints and bones.

Aquatic therapy is pro-

vided in a heated pool, tem-

peratures ranging from 9296

degrees. The warm water

relaxes muscles and allows

for improved joint range of

motion.

Hydrostatic pressure is

the pressure of the water on

the body. This pressure of the

water surrounding the body

helps circulate blood from

the legs to the heart, often

reducing swelling in the

ankles and feet. Once

swelling is reduced, joint ten-

derness may decrease and

range of motion can increase.

Water provides resist-

ance to movement, allowing

for improvement in balance

and strength in all muscle

directions. On land, resist-

ance is felt in only one direc-

tion, which leads to an over

development of some mus-

cles and under utilization of

others.

After an illness, injury

or surgery, pain and limited

ability to bear weight may

impact a patients ability to

participate in land based

physical therapy comfortably.

In water, the pull of gravity

on the body is not as strong

as on land; therefore, motion

and functional activity can

be more comfortable in the

pool. Water supports the

body, reduces joint stress and

provides resistance, as well as

assistance to movement.

Although aquatic thera-

py does not work for people

with some medical condi-

tions, it is very beneficial for

most patients with various

diseases and conditions. This

form of therapy helps to

improve blood circulation,

muscle strength, balance and

endurance. It is also helpful

in reducing blood pressure

Dog owners should

take coughing very

seriously. The issue

could be tied to kennel

cough, pneumonia, canine

flu or similar bronchial issue.

No matter the core issue,

multiple rounds of medica-

tions may have already been

tried, only to find that the

pet is still hampered by a

coughing condition caused

by some unknown organism,

or pathogen. Perhaps, as is

possible with most organ-

isms, the involved strains

have developed a resistance

to common prescriptions.

Causes of coughing

Pneumonia, kennel

cough, a foreign object,

household products (any-

thing that can be

aerosolized) or genetic con-

ditions such as tracheal

hypoplasia can cause cough-

ing issues. The most common

infectious cause is kennel

cough, also referred to as

Bordetella (bordetellosis) or

tracheobronchitis, and is

among the more typical

upper respiratory issues that

may affect dogs.

Kennel cough

This common issue is

highly contagious and is

known to affect a high per-

centage of dogs. The board-

ing home or the groomers

are easy places to contract

the illness but exposure can

be anyplace dogs contact

each other. Causative agents

of, or contributors to, this

common upper respiratory

issue may include: para

influenza, Bordetella bron-

chiseptica and mycoplasma.

Canine adenovirus, reovirus

and even the canine herpes

virus have been known to be

contributors. Usually, more

than one of these are con-

tributors. Initial symptoms

include a hacking, dry cough,

with a retching-like action.

Often, the sound exhibited

may resemble that of honk-

ing or what a dog with a

hairball may sound like.

Occasionally, the cough is

accompanied by a nasal dis-

charge that is quite watery,

rather than heavy. Advanced

cases may lead to lethargy,

along with fever and lack of

appetite; occasionally, pneu-

monia can result.

Pneumonia issues

Pneumonia has various

forms, but as an inflammato-

ry illness of the lungs, it can

be life threatening, as it

strongly affects the ability of

the body to absorb oxygen

from air taken in. With an

infection resulting in pneu-

monia, the sacs in the

lungs, responsible for collect-

ing the oxygen needed by the

body, become filled with

fluid, thereby inhibiting the

ability to collect enough oxy-

gen to support the body.

Symptoms of pneumonia

consist of coughing, elevated

fever, difficulty breathing

and chest pain. If these signs

are noted then an emergency

veterinarian visit is recom-

mended.

Dog flu

Canine influenza (dog

flu), is a highly contagious

respiratory infection caused

by a virus. Canine influenza

is a relatively new condition.

The first document-

ed case in the U.S.

was in January

2004 at a Grey-

hound racetrack in

Florida. There have

since been out-

breaks throughout

the country. The

canine influenza

virus is closely related to the

virus that causes equine

influenza. It is thought that

the equine influenza virus

mutated to produce the

canine influenza virus.

Two clinical syndromes

have been seen in dogs

infected with the canine

influenza virus a mild

form of the disease and a

more severe form that is

accompanied by pneumonia.

Dogs suffering from the

mild form of canine influenza

develop a soft, moist cough

but some dogs have a dry

cough similar to the kennel

cough caused by the

Bordetella bronchiseptica/

para influenza virus complex.

Therefore, it is not uncom-

mon for true dog flu cases to

be misdiagnosed as kennel

cough. Dogs with the mild

form of influenza may also

have a thick nasal discharge,

which may be caused by a

secondary bacterial infec-

tion.

Dogs with the more

severe form of canine

influenza will develop a high

fever and show clinical symp-

toms of pneumonia, such as

rapid, labored breathing.

Pneumonia may be caused by

a secondary bacterial infec-

tion.

Because this is a newly

emerging disease, almost all

dogs, are susceptible to infec-

tion and have no immunity.

When a young adult

leaves the comforts

of home to set out

on his or her own, homeown-

ers are left with a bedroom that

just calls out to be made over.

However, the experience of a

child leaving the nest can be

bittersweet, and some parents

struggle with the decision to

renovate or leave the room

intact. Converting a room can

be an emotional process, but

there are several different ways

to put a newly vacated room to

good use.

What to do with a room

may hinge on who still lives in

the house. Another child, for

instance, may be interested in

upgrading to the room if it is

larger or has amenities that the

previous bedroom does not

offer, like a better view or a

bigger closet. Some have plans

for a craft space or a library.

Perhaps the room would be

perfect for a man cave or a

quiet sitting area.

Keep in mind that the room

may hold sentimental value for

the child, so converting the

space is not something that

should happen abruptly or

without prior notice given

to the former occupant.

Communication is key before

the room can be permanent-

ly changed into a new room.

To get started, follow these

guidelines.

Start slowly. Broach the sub-

ject with the former occupant

of the room to gauge his or her

reaction to the idea. If your

child is supportive, then the

process may move along more

quickly. If not, you may need

to wait a little longer before

starting the renovation.

Go through the rooms con-

tents together. Your child may

feel his or her private sanctum

was violated if you simply box

up belongings and ready them

to be taken away. Instead, go

through the room together and

allow your son or daughter to

pack away items of sentimental

value. Other items can be

donated. Consider which

pieces of furniture might be

kept and repurposed.

Keep some items of value.

Remember, you dont want

your child to feel like his or her

identity has been erased from

the house. Find a way to incor-

porate something from the

bedroom into the new design

to pay homage to the person

who lived and grew up in the

room. Keep a square of

removed wallpaper and frame

it. Put some well-read child-

hood books on a shelf. Have a

place of honor for the first soc-

cer trophy. This way when

your child returns home there

will still be a piece of the

rooms former identity.

Work through your new

design plan. Before removing

furniture and any items, draw

up a detailed renovation plan

and establish a budget. If the

room will become a guest

room, the basics may already

be there and you simply need

to introduce new linens and a

new paint color to transform

the space. Consider keeping

the room functional as a sleep-

ing space in some way

whether moving in a sleeper

sofa or making a regular bed

into a daybed so when your

son or daughter comes to visit,

he or she will have a comfort-

able space.

Make it sophisticated. Adult

spaces differ from childrens

spaces in their sophistication.

Starting fresh with more

streamlined furniture and

bolder colors in the room will

give it a grownup look.

Converting a childs for-

mer bedroom into a new and

exciting living space for adults

takes some planning and sensi-

tivity. A collaborative effort

between parent and child can

make the process can go much

more smoothly.

Remodeling a basement

is a popular home

improvement project.

A finished basement makes

the space more functional

and, when done correctly, can

add a considerable amount of

living space to a home.

Finishing a basement

pays dividends in additional

space in a home that doesnt

require the same level of

investment as putting an addi-

tion on the house. Also, the

groundwork for a finished

room is already there, as most

basements are already set up

with a poured concrete floor

and some walls, usually cinder

blocks. Some electrical com-

ponents, plumbing and the

creature comforts of drywall

and a more inviting floor

might be all thats necessary to

finish a basement. The process

can be labor-intensive, and

many people prefer to leave it

to a professional contractor.

Whatever finishing method is

chosen, homeowners should

follow the proper procedures

when doing the work.

DO start with a detailed plan.

Measure out the basement and

mark any items that cannot be

moved, such as a furnace,

water heater or pipes. Create a

design board that showcases

the materials you plan to use

on the project. Think about

ways you plan to arrange furni-

ture and consider all of the

possible uses for the room.

Will it be a home theater?

Will someone be sleeping

down there? Each scenario

will require certain amenities

and safety requirements.

DONT plan to finish the

entire basement. Doing so will

leave you without a storage or

utility area where you house

holiday decorations, tools, lug-

gage and similar items.

DO get the scoop on building

codes. Knowing what the

municipality allows in base-

ment remodeling will help you

to customize a plan that is

functional, safe and legal. No

one wants to be slapped with

fines for failing to follow the

rules. Plus, failure to meet

building codes could mean the

work that has been done must

be torn out and redone. It pays

to follow the chain of com-

mand and secure permits

while having all work inspect-

ed.

DONT overlook adequate

lighting in your refinishing

plan. A basement is likely one

area of the house that has lim-

ited natural light pouring in.

With traditionally small win-

dows, or no windows at all, a

basement needs ample light-

ing in its design scheme. This

may include a combination of

overhead and task lighting.

Ample lighting will help the

room feel like part of the

house and not just a forgotten

storage area.

DO take into consideration

moisture issues in the base-

ment. Many basements are

plagued by moisture issues

ranging from water seepage to

condensation forming on

walls. These situations may

vary depending on the weath-

er throughout the year.

Certain materials may need to

be used to mitigate water

issues before finishing can take

place. The installation of

water-barrier systems, drain-

age, sump pumps, or encapsu-

lation products could drive up

the cost of a basement renova-

tion. It is essential to have a

professional assess the base-

ment water issues prior to

starting and finishing work.

DONT simply cover up

potential hazards, such as

mold or mildew. Have them

treated instead. Otherwise,

you could have a breeding

ground behind drywall that

could lead to unsafe condi-

tions in the home.

DO have a radon test. Radon

is a hidden killer that can

cause lung cancer. Because it

occurs naturally in the soil

and water surrounding a home

and is impossible to detect

without a specialized test,

many people are unaware of

the presence of radon until it

is too late. Radon may be

more concentrated in the

basement, where the founda-

tion is touching the soil.

Therefore, rule out radon

before considering renovation

of a basement area.

DONT limit furniture choices

to one type. You may need to

be flexible in your furniture

choices, even selecting modu-

lar pieces, like sectionals,

because entryways to base-

ments may have small door-

ways or obstructions that make

adding furniture more chal-

lenging.

DO keep the possibility of

flooding in the back of your

head. Homes that are near

waterways or at low elevation

may be at risk of flooding.

Basements are especially sus-

ceptible to flood damage.

Therefore, think about the

practicality of finishing a base-

ment if you are prone to flood-

ing. If you decide to move

ahead, take certain precau-

tionary measures, such as

keeping electrical wiring up

higher and using a more water-

resistant flooring material, like

tile or vinyl. House important

electronics and items on

shelves so they are not at

ground-level.

Finishing a basement is a

job that can add a lot of usable

space to a home. Go about the

project in the right way to keep

within budget and have a room

that is safe and functional.

February, when Valen-

tines Day serves as theofficial day of love and

affection, is a great to embark

on a romantic vacation, espe-

cially if that getaway is to a

warmer locale that can help

men and women momentari-

ly forget about the snow-

storms and colder tempera-

tures back home.

Some resorts and travel-

based businesses take advan-

tage of Valentines Day byinflating prices to capitalize

on gift-giving. However,

many others use this time of

year to offer specialized sales

and discounts to help boost

business through the remain-

der of the winter season. It is

possible to enjoy an indul-

gent trip without having to

spend a fortune.

Consider cruising. There

are cruises that depart fromvarious ports all year long.

All it takes is a call to a cruise

line or logging on to their

Web sites to check the sched-

uling. For those unopposed to

flying to a different port, you

may be able to broaden your

options with regard to cruise

destinations and departingdates. Cruises are advanta-

geous because they are

all-inclusive, self-contained

vacations. Couples who dont

want the hassle of packing

and unpacking several times

and want their meals and

entertainment planned outahead of time might find

cruising is their trip. There

also is the ability to visit dif-

ferent ports of call all in one

trip, ensuring there is never a

dull moment.

Look into winery packages.

Wineries may be doing their

planting and harvesting inthe warmer weather, but

come the winter they may be

facing a slow-down in foot

traffic and may be eager to

attract business. Sampling

different vintages and spend-

ing time in an often adults-

only environment can be anideal way to spend a

Valentines Day weekend.

Make it an overnight trip and

stay nearby in a hotel. Some

wineries may offer a restau-

rant on premises or work with

a local establishment to pro-

vide package deals.

Visit your closest city. Manypeople living in the suburbs

seldom make trips into down-

town unless they are regular

commuters for work. Even

those who spend their week-

days in an urban area may

never have experienced all of

the little gems that attract

tourists. For Valentines Day,

you may want to see your

urban center through the

eyes of a visitor, takingadvantage of the museums,

cultural centers and buildings

that attract tourists through-

out the year. Chances are the

trip will not be costly, and

youll be close to home.

Take in live music. Theres

something romantic about

listening to music together.

Investigate upcoming con-

certs in your area. Some cof-

fee shops and bars host open-mic nights when budding

artists can be heard. Check to

see if any smaller venues are

hosting intimate, acoustic

concerts by popular bands. It

can be a memorable night

The championship game

of the National Foot-

ball League, the Super

Bowl transcends geography

every year, roping in viewers

from across theglobe, making

the game one of televisions

most-watched events. For those

heading to the big game this

year or simply hosting their

own Super Bowl party, the fol-lowing recipe for Thomas

Marinated Gamecocks with

Polenta from Debbie Mooses

Fan Fare (Harvard Common

Press) is perfectly suited for tail-

gate parties or get-togethers at

home.

Thomas Marinated Game-

cocks with Polenta

Serves 414 cup honey14 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons chopped garlic

2 tablespoons chopped fresh

ginger

1 tablespoon freshly ground

black pepper

1 cup water

2 Cornish game hens with

Polenta (at right)

1.Combine the honey, soy

sauce, garlic, ginger, pepper,

and water in a small saucepan.

Cook over medium-low heat,stirring constantly, until com-

pletely blended. Allow to cool

to room temperature.

2.Use sharp kitchen shears to

cut the game hens in half

down the center of the back

and breast, and place in a large

zipper-top plastic bag. Pour in

the marinade, seal the bag and

refrigerate overnight.

3.When ready to cook, pre-

pare a medium-low fire in acharcoal grill or preheat a gas

grill.

4.Remove the hens from the

marinade (discard the mari-

nade) and grill until the juices

run clear when the meat is

pierced with a sharp knife,

about 5 minutes per side.

Serve over the polenta.

Polenta

2 teaspoons butter or olive oil1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 cup finely ground cornmeal

112 cups chicken broth

112 cups water12 cup half-and-half14 cup grated Parmesan

cheese, or to taste

1 cup frozen green peas,

thawed

2 tablespoons julienned freshbasil

Salt and freshly ground black

pepper to taste

1.Heat the butter in a largepot over medium-high heat.

Add the red pepper flakes

and garlic. Reduce the heat

and cook until the garlic

becomes opaque, about 30

seconds. Add the cornmeal,

then whisk in the chicken

broth and water. Add salt

and pepper.

Bring the mixture to a

low boil, then reduce the

heat to low and simmer,whisking occasionally, until

the mixture thickens, about

20 minutes.

2.Whisk in the half-and-half.If the mixture is too thick,

add a bit more chicken broth

or water. Whisk in the

Parmesan, peas and basil.

Taste and add more salt and

pepper, if desired. Serve

warm.

Note: Those heading to the

game can prepare the mari-

nade and marinate the chick-

en the day before. However,

make the rest of the dish atthe tailgate.

Many questions arise

during the home-buying process.

Buyers looking at homes that

require a good deal of TLC

may wonder who is responsi-

ble for the homes repairs,

particularly if such repairs are

needed to secure a certificate

of occupancy. Depending on

the situation, there is no

clear-cut answer.

There is no perfect

home, and things that areacceptable to the current

owner may not be acceptable

to the buyer who is looking to

become the next owner. The

home-buying process is typi-

cally a careful cooperation

between buyer and seller to

find a middle ground. The

buyer may have to make some

concessions, as will the seller.

Ultimately, it is this coopera-

tion that often determines ifthe sale goes through or is ter-

minated.

Before any negotiations

can begin regarding repairs, it

is advisable for a buyer to

have an independent inspec-

tor come out and look over

the home and property. Most

real estate agents will suggest

this be done as a first priority

even before a contract is

entered on the home. Aninspection will unveil any

potential problems in a home

and indicate things that the

buyer may not be aware of,

including items that do not

meet with code or could be

unsafe. An inspector also may

point out problems that could

cause a mortgage lender to

dence society, draining

the fortune and futures

of hard-working, overtaxedAmericans, both young and

old, who struggle each day to

build a platform of financial

independence and might wind-

up saying, Why didnt I think

to remain single, not find a job

and live off the government for

the rest of my life?

This is a viscous cycle to

say the least. The government

must put together a policy after

a reasonable amount of unem-

ployment time that states if

youre physically able and youdont work, you wont eat. Its

as simple as that! The country

needs to replace or rebuild

roads, bridges and tunnels, so

there is plenty of work avail-

able. To the prospective tenant

who called on my house-for-

rent ad: Go to work, get mar-

ried and pay your own way, or

Virtually every dog that is

exposed to the virus will

become infected, and nearly80 percent show clinical

signs of disease. Fortunately,

most affected dogs have the

mild form.

Whatever the cause may

be, mild or serious, a full

workup should be performed

by your veterinarian to make

sure your dog stays happy and

healthy.

The U.S. Government aswell as the state and county are

spending, taxes will increase

forever! One way to bring the

imbalance in-line is to exam-

Our society will perish if poor
