But, it can print a lot of it

though! Most people

haven’t given much

thought to the fact that every

dollar the Federal Government

gives out, it has to take from

someone else (or create out of

thin air.) For every dollar of

benefit paid out to an individ-

ual, another individual had to

lose a dollar of income or bene-

fit for themselves and their

family. Like a giant conduit or

vortex, the larger Government

becomes, with its inefficiencies,

pork, political special deals,

lack of oversight and perceived

unlimited budget, our govern-

ment is sucking the wealth out

of hardworking, and successminded goal-oriented small

business-building people that

employ other people who des-

perately need quality high pay-

ing jobs.

Some lawmakers and their

constituents believe that rich

people can afford to pay more,

so propose and endorse laws to

tax them more. Politicians fail

to take into account that peo-

ple, who earn more, live larger

Their lifestyle is larger, their

home is larger and they also

employ others to maintain that

lifestyle like gardeners, handy-

men, massage therapists, travel

agents, personal assistants,

domestic attendants, auto

detailers, cleaning and mainte-

nance crews, a nanny and if

even wealthier, a captain and

crew for their boat and or air-plane. The excess these people

earn isn’t just sitting in a bank

available to be taxed. As their

lifestyle increases so does their

payroll! Think about this for a

moment, how many people do

you know that have a lifestyle

employing the people men-

tioned above? Probably not too

many and that is my point.

Taxing these people to oblivion

will only put more people out of

work as they will curtail their

lifestyle if forced to pay addi-

tional taxes. Besides, the taxes

collected on this small group of

tax payers would amount to

nothing, with no impact, when

compared to the insatiable

appetite of Government, both

Federal and State. Further,

studies have been conducted

that show when taxes are

increased on the rich, the richpay less in tax. Why, because

they can move to another state,

defer income, shift income to

others, give it away, earn less by

accumulating retained earnings

through their businesses, hide it

in inventory purchases, restrict

or limit growth of their compa-

nies or personal assets and

other more sophisticated meth-

ods. Massive taxation on a

minimum amount of people is

fruitless.

To tax the upper middle

class excessively is also ridicu-

lous. They are the biggest

spenders in the nation influ-

encing the economy in a major

way. Expensive homes, cars,

furniture, decorating, clothing,

trips, tuition, charitable dona-

tions to benefit the neighbor-

hood and the entire world com-munity, electronics and tech-

nology for the home and much

more; when over taxed, these

people shut their wallets and

purses tight. The remaining

groups of tax payers are the vast

middle class, the lower income

middle class and the working

class, who earn minimum wage

and slightly more. These tax

payers make up the bulk of the

income taxes paid and also

derive the greatest benefits

from government. A fair tax

must be implemented as not to

stymie one’s ambitions to earn

and pay more tax on a greater

sum, as opposed to a greater tax

on the same or lesser sum. At

the same time Congress must

tax the largest base fairly, where

the Federal and State govern-

ments combined, cannot take

over 30% of annual incomeafter the cost of housing and

basic necessities. It is my opin-

ion that there is only one way

to do this fairly, honestly, accu-

rately and completely: a nation-

al consumption or sales tax on

everything other than food,

clothing, shelter and education.

In this way taxes are voluntary;

if you don’t need it to live, you

don’t have to buy it and there-

fore have no tax to pay.

Everything else is a “luxury”

and must be taxed. Since a sales

tax solution in lieu of income

tax isn’t around the corner or

on the drawing board, other

controllable action is necessary

on your part, otherwise you

might pay more than is neces-

sary to the tax-man.

Without being too cynical

and considering that totalFederal obligations now exceed

$240 trillion, from their per-

spective the “perfect” 2013 IRS

1040 income tax return would

only have two lines. First,

“How much money did you

earn?” The second line will

read, “Send it in!”

Not far down the tax

road will be a baby tax for

those who the government

deems can afford it. Earn too

much that year and you will

owe taxes for any child born or

adopted into your family to

pay for the people who have

babies with no insurance and

no means to support their

babies. I am not being face-

tious when I tell you that

there will be a baby tax, it’s

just a matter of time. Don’t

agree? Look at the reverse, a

departure tax, for those withassets. Call it whatever you

like, whether a capital gains

tax at death or an estate tax,

income tax or inheritance tax,

it is still a death tax and we

now have in place, all 4 of

them as a resident of NJ!

So we pay tax when we

earn money, again when we

save some money the earnings

are taxable, when we spend

money we are confronted with

a state sales tax, when we give

large gifts we have to report

them and pay tax as the giver

of the gift or take it off our

credit when we die and even-

tually when we die we are

taxed again. The only thing

left is to tax those items or

services that are not currently

subject to tax now. One

recently enacted tax is called areal estate transfer tax of 1%.

Did you also know that labor

is now subject to sales tax in

NJ? A plumber’s work or a

landscaper’s labor is all taxed.

Certain doctors must now

charge sales tax for their serv-

ices like plastic surgeons for

cosmetic facial procedures.

Luxury taxes were instituted a

few years ago on automobiles

priced over a certain amount.

Watch out people, food at the

grocery store in NJ might be

next.

It is my belief that

Congress is secretly already

planning to institute an income

and asset test to determine eli-

gibility for Social Security pay-

ments! For those the govern-

ment believes do not “need”

the income, their contributions

to the system will be reclassifiedas a non-deductible, forced

donation for the “greater good”

of society. We might be wit-

nessing Robin Hood econom-

ics, as never seen before in this

nation!

With any argument there

are at least two sides and this

one is no different. Readers are

either on the receiving line of

“Governmental compensation”

or financing it. To those who

are forced to pay more in tax so

others may receive I propose

the following strategies. Defer

income from taxation by

maximizing your currently

deductible retirement plan con-

tributions and investing after

tax funds into tax-deferred and

tax-free vehicles. If you have a

monthly surplus that you cur-

rently deposit in a bank or cred-it union, you’ll need to learn

more about non-qualified

deferred compensation plans

that grow on a tax-deferred

basis and are accessible on a

tax-free basis. Already retired

and living on withdrawals from

your portfolio? Learn how to

minimize taxes while maximiz-

ing and insuring the income

stream for the rest of your life.

Circa 1980. Many years

ago I had a friend

who was working on a

construction site as a gopher

(someone who does the dirty

work.) One day the boss asked

him to go to Burger King and

gave him a piece of paper with

the order on it. My friend,

who was a boy at the time,

rushed to BK, placed the order

and brought it back to the site

promptly. The rest of the crew

was working inside and won-

dering where the kid was with

their lunch. The boss finally

had enough and headed out-

side. What he saw was shock-

ing. He found the boy on the

steps of the building surround-

ed by crumpled up BK wrap-

pers. The boy was leaning

back as if in a bit of pain. The

boss screamed at the boy say-

ing, “You mean to tell me you

ate the WHOLE order???”

The boy, with a puzzled look

on his face, said “Isn’t that

what you wanted me to do?”

Think about it...

Isn’t it amazing how 2

people can hear the same

words but process it different-

ly? It just goes to show you

how important the art of com-

munication really is. You can

half listen, really just thinking

about what you are going to

say next or you can listen with

an ear of intimidation, fearful

you will get the order wrong.

If we would just take the time

to intently hear the words

being spoken- AND if we are

unclear to ask clarifying ques-

tions- well, more people

would get their lunch!

According to a 2011

Bayer Veterinary

Care Usage study,

companion animal veterinary

visits have been declining

over the past several years.

Study participants reported

their pets saw the vet nearly

20 percent less than they did a

mere four years ago. The infre-

quency of vet visits might be

traced to a host of factors,

including financial concerns

stemming from the recent

recession, the high cost of vet-

erinary care, increased use of

the Internet as a source of

information about animal

health and modifications in

pet immunization schedules.

Many vets have moved

to a three-year vaccination

schedule, wherein pets only

have to receive routine shots

every three years instead of

annually. Some pet owners are

choosing to forego annual

checkups because they don’t

see the need to visit the vet

unless a pet is sick or due

for shots.Financial concerns are

another factor in the

decrease of vet appoint-

ments. Though the economy

has begun to recover, some

pet owners simply do not

have the extra income to

devote to animal care.

While owners may have

viable reasons for not taking

their animals to see the vet,

failure to do so can prove cost-

ly down the road. Health

checkups for pets can alert

owners to potential problems

that can be resolved with

medication or other therapy.

Left unchecked, illnesses may

spread until surgery or other

invasive treatment options arethe only recourse.

Veterinary health insur-

ance for pets is available at a

reasonable cost. These insur-

ance plans can offset the

expense of some visits and

provide protection if a major

illness should befall a dog

or cat.

Many veterinarians rec-

ognize the high cost of pet

care and will be willing to

work with customers in regard

to payments. It is worth talk-

ing to the vet to see if a pay-

ment plan or alternative

appointments can be made to

ensure the health of the pet.Vets may be able to suggest

over-the-counter medications

or certain foods instead of

more expensive prescriptions.

It’s important to note

that diagnosing pet ailments

on your own is ill-advised.

to indicate one condition but

could actually be something

more serious. Pet owners

should always confer with a

veterinarian if a pet is actingout-of-sorts and not rely

entirely on homespun advice.

The sooner a vet is seen, the

more quickly the pet can get

on the road to recovery.

Veterinarians provide

important services to main-

tain the health of a vast array

of pets. Although there maybe inclinations to cut down

on vet visits if a companion

animal seems well, it is best to

keep up with routine care to

head off potentially costly

treatment and keep the ani-

mal healthy and comfortable.

Dr. Matthew Krupnick is the

owner of the Pequannock Ani-

mal Hospital. He grew up in

Kinnelon and is happy to be

home – with his wife, three cats,

and two dogs – to provide quali-

ty and compassionate care for

pets in the community. The Pe-

quannock Animal Hospital is

Included within the “exten-

ders” law passed in

December is a new tax ben-

efit designed to help the dis-

abled. The Achieving a Better

Life Experience (ABLE) Act

allows those who become blind

or disabled before age 26 to

open tax-exempt savings

accounts to pay qualifiedexpenses related to their illness.

ABLE accounts operate

much like a Section 529 college

savings plan. For example,

investment earnings are not

taxed. Withdrawals are tax-free

as well, as long as they are used

to pay qualified expenses such

as home health aides, trans-

portation, and medical tech-

nology. Disbursements for

nonqualified expenses (to

the extent they represent

investment earnings in theaccount), are subject to

income tax plus a 10% penal-

ty. Upon the death of the

account holder, the assets are

first used to pay back

Medicaid benefits received

after the ABLE account was

established. The balance goes

to the account’s designated

beneficiary.

Each eligible person can

open only one ABLE account.The annual contribution limit

is the same as the gift tax exclu-

sion ($14,000 for 2015). This

amount is the maximum no

matter how many people con-

tribute to the ABLE account.

Keep in mind that contribu-

tions to an ABLE account are

not tax-deductible.

The accounts do have

some limitations. Balances in

an ABLE account can only be

transferred into another ABLE

account belonging to the sameindividual or to a family mem-

ber who also qualifies. Older

disabled people may not qualify

because of the stipulation that

the disability must have

occurred prior to age 26.

On the plus side, the

amount you accrue in an ABLE

account will not affect financial

eligibility for Supplemental

Security Income or Medicaid

payments. However, SSI eli-

gibility is suspended once the

account reaches $100,000.To learn more about this

and other important health-

related tax benefits, please

Many of today’s class-

rooms are filled

with all types of

emerging technologies, which

educators use to enhance their

students’ educational experi-

ences. However, the humble

newspaper has long been a sta-

ple in the classroom and at

home and remains one of the

best tools for learning. Newspapers can be used to fur-

ther children’s academic abili-

ties in a variety of ways.

Improve reading fluency

Fluency, comprehension

and inference of text are les-

sons that begin as soon as a

child begins learning how to

read. Children need access to

a variety of reading materials

so they can expand their

knowledge and vocabulary

base, and it’s never too early to

introduce youngsters to the

newspaper as not only a source

of local and national informa-

tion, but also as a reading tool.

Parents can go through

the newspaper with their chil-

dren and select articles thatmay be of interest. A section

devoted to local events or a

particular theme, such as

sports or fitness, may be good

starting points.

Children can have fun

matching headlines with pho-

tos and following the sequence

of the stories that continue on

another page. They’re also

bound to be exposed to a num-

ber of new words and phrases

as they read newspaper arti-

cles, which helps improve

their vocabulary.

Strengthen writing skills

Newspaper articles are

written differently than books.

Exposing children to a jour-

nalistic style of writing canhelp them with their own

writing assignments. Teachers

often stress that narratives and

other writing assignments

should follow a certain format

so students learn to express

themselves clearly. Students

are urged to validate state-

ments with proof and to have

a logical flow to their work.

By reading articles in

newspapers, students can gain

an understanding of how to

introduce a subject, expand on

facts and summarize a point.

Students who tend to be more

pragmatic writers may connect

with the journalistic style of

writing more so than students

who excel at creative prose.Children can practice

reporting on different events

in and around their communi-

ties, emulating the style of

writing presented in newspa-

pers. They also can learn the

differences between editorial

and opinion pieces.

Make current events accessible

Newspapers are an inex-

pensive connection to culture

and information from around

the world. Through newspaper

articles, students can better

understand political, financial

and entertainment issues

spanning the globe. Staying

abreast of the latest news from

around the world can help stu-

dents become more well-rounded and learned. Students

who may have read about

events in a history book can

compare those accounts to

current information on what is

happening in the world today.

Develop an Eye for

Photography

Stunning, award-winning

photographs are published in

newspapers nearly every day.

A picture is worth a thousand

words, and newspaper photog-

raphy helps readers interpret

stories and bring the words to

life through imagery. Access to

newspaper photography can

open up an entirely new world

for children. It also may

inspire their own creativeworks.

Students may be inun-

dated with technological

resources both at school and

home. But perhaps no class-

room resource can match the

array of benefits provided by

newspapers.

Newspapers make for an ideal educational tool

Bottled Water

A four-year study by the Natural Resources Defense Council shows that 1/3 of the bottled water

tested contains levels of contamination which exceed allowable limits. Bottled water can alsobe slightly acidic, which may affect your body’s pH balance. Finally, the environmental impact

caused by the production and disposal of plastic bottles is harmful to our ecosystem.

Tap Water

Tap water is a healthier option than soft drinks and other beverages, but according to the

Environmental Working Group, there have been 315 pollutants found in America’s tap water

since 2004, and over half of these pollutants are completely unregulated and can legally existin any amount.

Reverse Osmosis and Distilled Water

Reverse Osmosis and Distilling are filtering processes, which removes healthy, naturally

occurring minerals in our water. These minerals not only provide good taste, they also serve a

vital function in the healthy balance of our bodies. When stripped of these minerals, this water

becomes unnatural and an aggressive absorber. This can be quite unhealthy. Also, 2 - 3 gallonsof water are wasted for every gallon of purified water produced; again, a very negative impact

on our environment and ecosystem.

To find out what we found out,

There are times when

fear almost seems to

overcome us. It creeps

its ugly head up from the fibers

of our hearts, it steals ourenthusiasm and makes us

question our own inborn tal-

ents and abilities. Such a time

came to me in the autumn of

1970. At the age of 17, an

honor that I had dreamed of

attaining for many years,

blessed my life. However, my

success did not come without

my squarely facing a deep-

seated fear. This horrible fear

almost robbed me of taking ona hard-won challenge with

fury and courage.

It was in late September

of 1970 that my beloved father

gave me the good news that

the Troop Committee of Boy

Scout Troop 170 unanimously

appointed me to be the

Captain of the Senior

Klondike Derby Team. At the

time, my dad was serving as

Scoutmaster of Troop 170. I

know, in my heart, that Dad

had a deep belief in my gifts

and talents to lead the senior

scouts to winning a trophy at

the upcoming Klondike

Derby, which would be held in

January.

I was deeply humbled. I

was honored. I treasured the

high regard that my dad and

the entire Troop Committeeheld for me. But, I held a

deep-seated, unspoken fear

within the chambers of my

heart. The big Klondike Derby

was held at the famous

Boy Scout Camp, Mount

Allamuchy Scout Reser-

vation.

One portion of the

Klondike Derby took the team

along a trail that climbed the

high mountains that ran along

the camp’s lake. This moun-

tain trail was not very wide, it

was located high upon the

mountain ridge and there were

no guard rails. To fall from this

height would be devastating.

I knew firsthand how

devastating it could be. For

the year before, as a member

of the Senior Klondike Derby

Team, I fell from atop this

mountain ridge. I still remem-

ber it well. I had stepped upon

an unstable rock along the

path’s edge. The rock gave

way, my footing slipped and I

fell and tumbled the lengthand breadth of this towering

mountain. I fell upon rocks

and stumps during this trau-

matic fall.

When I landed upon the

surface of the camp’s solid

frozen lake, my clothes were

ripped and torn. I was bleeding

in more than a half-dozen

places. The many cuts and

bruises and the sting of the cold

snow sent my head swirling in

terrible pain. I remember see-

ing my loyal, fellow scouts run-

ning down the mountain to

help me. I remember I tried

my best to arise, got incredibly

dizzy and fainted upon the

cold ice.

The next thing that I

remember, when I came to, was

being in the back of an ambu-

lance. My dad was by my side.

Even though I was groggy and

absorbed with pain, I remem-

ber my dad telling me that I

was going to be alright. Long

story short, my dad was right.

Although I still do havesome small scars from those

cuts and bruises.

Fast forwarding to

January of 1971. The Junior

Klondike Teams ran on the

second Saturday of January

and the Senior Klondike

Team ran on the next day. I

remember that during the late

afternoon of the Saturday

before the big Senior

Klondike Derby, fear overtook

me. It was a horrible fear. I was

deadly afraid to climb that

mountain trail. And, I was

afraid to admit my fear to my

dad. The last thing in the

world that I wanted was to let

my dad down, to let the Troop

Committee down, and to let

my fellow senior scouts down.

But the fear of returning to

that high mountain trail,

caused my heart to tremble.

Early that Saturday

night, I sat at my bedroom

desk, reviewing my Boy Scout

Handbook. I went over some

of the basics of scout knowl-edge for the big event, to

begin in the morning.

Suddenly, without warning,

this overwhelming dark fear

came over me. As I held my

scout handbook, I watched my

hands shake. A blanket of fear

now covered my heart.

There at my desk, I knew

there was only one source to

help me overcome this devas-

tating fear. For all I could see,

in my mind’s eye, was that

narrow, high mountain trail. I

reached for the Holy Bible

that sat upon my desk. I began

to slowly read the Twenty-

third Psalm. I must have read

those verses over a hundred

times that evening.I don’t pretend to fully

understand this. But in the

midst of one of those quiet

readings of this beloved psalm,

an inner peace filled my heart.

The ugly, dark fear that had

filled my heart fled from my

inner being. A calm, serene,

deep peace now resided in my

heart. I knew in that sacred

moment that I could face that

tall, towering mountain withsteadfast courage.

I am proud to say that I

led one of the all-time greatest

Senior Klondike Teams, in

Boy Scout history. There was

something special about the

bond of brotherhood that tied

us all together on that special

Sunday, in January of 1971.

There were well over 50

Senior Klondike Teams that

competed in that particular

Klondike Derby. For this was

during the very hey-day of the

baby boom era. All of our hard

work had paid off, as Boy

Scout Troop 170’s Senior

Klondike Team won the Third

Place Trophy that year.

As you read this essay,

you may find yourself dealing

with fear. You might be facing

financial stress, maybe yoursupervisor is not treating you

well at work, or perhaps you

are facing a serious illness.

Please know that fear must be

conquered. Whatever your

religious faith or spiritual path

may be, I earnestly ask you to

please consider taking time to

read and reread the scriptures

from the holy writings of your

faith or religion. In truth, they

are the fire extinguisher to

dowse the flames of fear resid-

ing in one’s heart.

Facing a mountain of fear with faith and courage By Richard Mabey Jr.

It was in January of 1971 that I was honored to serve as the Captain of the

Senior Klondike Team of Boy Scout Troop 170. Please note that this photo cap-

tured a portion of the tall, towering mountains of the famous Boy Scout Camp

Allamuchy. These mountains lie in the background, behind the winter trees.

Painting is one of the eas-

iest and least expensive

ways to transform the

look of a space. The colors

homeowners choose for their

walls can give rooms their own

unique feel and even affect the

moods of the people within

them.

Finding the right shade

for a bedroom or kitchen

involves more than just select-ing the first color that catches

your eye. Design experts and

psychologists alike say it may

be worthwhile to choose a

color that helps you feel good

rather than just following

design trends. The paint color

you pick may add energy to a

space or create a tranquil

retreat where you can unwind

at the end of the day.

BLUE

To create a spa-like envi-

ronment and a more serene

space, look to shades of blue in

soft variations. Cool blues are

soothing colors that can help

lower stress levels and pro-

mote sleep. That’s why blue is

a frequent fixture in bedrooms

and bathrooms. Just beadvised that too much blue

can make a room appear cold

and stark, so balance out blue

with some warmer accents.

ORANGE

Many people do not

immediately consider bright

orange for their homes, but

when used as an accent shade,

orange can really brighten up

a home. Orange is considered

a shade that expands creativi-

ty and imparts a youthful

appeal to a space. Consider an

orange accent wall or a burst

of color with orange throw pil-

lows. If pumpkin orange is a

little too bold for you, tone it

down by choosing a more pas-

tel, peachy hue, which is

equally warm and energizing.RED

Red stimulates energy

and appetite, which is why

the shade is so popular in

restaurants and home dining

spaces. Red is a good choice

for social gathering rooms but

may not be the wisest choice

for a bedroom, as the color

may prove over stimulating.

GREEN

Green can evoke compo-

sure and tranquility and works

in any room of the house.

Since green is the primary

color of nature, it also works

well for those people who

want to bring some of the out-

doors inside and work with the

fresh starts and new growth

that green can inspire. Tomake green feel less subdued

and sleepy, work with its com-

plementary opposite, red, by

using a few bold red accents

here and there to balance out

the tranquility of green.

PURPLE

People have long related

purple to royalty, and this dra-

matic color can add a formal,

regal aspect to a home

depending on the hue. Purple

also may help stimulate the

creative side of the brain. In

paler shades of lavender, pur-

ple can seem almost ethereal

and spiritual. Some designers

suggest avoiding purple in a

bedroom because that is a

place you want your brain to

rest rather than be stimulated.YELLOW

Few colors are more

vibrant than yellow, which

can help stimulate conversa-

tion and make thoughts more

focused. A luminous shade of

yellow is an ideal way to make

any space more welcoming

and bright. Just use it sparing-

ly, as too much yellow may not

be a good thing. Yellow

accents mixed with touches of

purple can offer the balance

needed to prevent yellow

rooms from overwhelming res-

idents and guests.

Home decorators should

keep in mind that colors can

be blended to create the

desired environment. A color

scheme based on complemen-tary colors, or those opposite

on the color wheel, may fit.

Otherwise, analogous color

schemes, or those colors that

are next to one another on the

color wheel, can create a vari-

ation that suits your design

needs.

Despite other intentions,

homeowners often

turn their garages into

storage centers for random, lit-

tle-used items, leaving little to

no room for the tools and even

vehicles that actually belong in

a garage. Such homeowners

may turn to sheds to store their

garage overflow and keep yard

equipment at the ready, but

storage sheds are not immuneto clutter, and homeowners

may find the very structure

erected to keep them organ-

ized requires a bit of organiza-

tion itself.

A well-organized shed can

save homeowners time and

energy, as it’s easy to abandon

or delay a project if you can’t

find that pair of work gloves

you stashed. The first step to

any organizing project is to take

everything out of the shed and

determine just what needs to go

back in. Items that do not

belong in the shed should be

moved to their rightful loca-

tions or tossed in the trash if

they’re no longer needed. Make

a pile of anything that will be

kept, a separate one for dona-tions and a third for garbage.

Take inventory of what you

have so you know whether

you’re missing any items or you

have something and do not

need to purchase another.

Now that the entire shed

is empty, you can assess just

how much room you have.

Utilizing vertical and overhead

space effectively can free up

areas on the floor for larger

equipment.

Shelving, racks, pegboards

and any other materials that

enable you to hang or store

items off the floor are good

investments. Visit your nearby

home improvement retailer to

find items that can simplify

your storage. You also may beable to put scrap wood to use

to make your own storage

shelves or a work bench. Extra

kitchen cabinets can be

installed in the shed to organ-

ize additional items.

In order to remember

where items go, label or sort

them accordingly. Some people

like to take organization a

step further by tracing the

outline of tools hung on the

wall so they can be placed

back in the same spot after

use. This also serves as a

visual reminder of which

tools are missing and which

ones need to be purchased.

Don’t forget to utilize

shed doors as additional

storage space. Hang fre-quently used tools, such as rakes

and shovels, on the inside of

the doors so they will always be

easily accessible.

You also can repurpose

storage solutions designed for

other areas of the home. For

example, magnetic knife hold-

ers can be mounted to a shed

wall to keep paintbrushes

organized. These holders also

can be used to keep many

small metal tools tidy. Metal

funnels can hold twine and

string. Thread through the

narrow end of the funnel for a

handy dispenser.

Keep dangerous sub-

stances off the floor and out

of reach. Gasoline, chemi-

cal fertilizers and other

potentially dangerous sub-

stances should be stored

high up to keep pets and

children safe.

Make sure the shed floor

is sturdy and level. This

makes it easier to neatly

store larger items. Roll in

the lawnmower, wheelbar-row and any other cumbersome

items. Now that more things

are mounted vertically, you

should find that you have more

area to move around.

Taking the time to clean

and organize a shed can help

make anyone more productive.

Passaic County Sheriff

Richard Berdnik re-

cently attended an

office meeting, along with

Commander Kathy Burgos of

the Community Policing

Unit to present Patti Tahan,

manager and Coldwell

Banker of Wayne’s many sales

associates, a certificate of

appreciation for their gen-

erosity in the Project

Lifesaver Program. Project

Lifesaver is an International

Program that uses radio tech-

nology to aid trained Sheriff’s

Officers in locating missing

children and adults with

Autism, Alzheimer’s, and

other related conditions.

Citizens enrolled receive a

bracelet with a personal

transmitter that emits atracking signal. It requires

daily monitoring by a care-

giver to be sure that the

bracelet battery signal is

working properly. In turn

they would notify the

Sheriff’s Department to set

the emergency response in

motion when the person is

lost. It is used statewide in all

21 counties in New Jersey

and proclaimed to be theworld’s most reliable program

for missing persons.

The cost of the bracelets

is approximately $300 per

piece plus the monthly

upkeep cost of between $9

and $15 for batteries &

upkeep. The Sales Associates

at the Wayne Coldwell

Banker office, organized by

sales associates, Liz Donnelly

and Maureen Sandler, gener-ously donated 4 GPS devices

to the local program to help

defray the cost for families in

need who cannot afford the

bracelets. Currently Passaic

County has 22 children and

12 seniors enrolled. For more

you can contact Coldwell
