It was just over a year ago that

Hurricane Irene hit northern

New Jersey. The rains came

followed by the horrific flooding

ravaging many homes in the

area. Those of you affected by

the flooding know the devasta-tion of losing homes, businesses,

churches and ultimately pre-

cious memories. I can still

remember peoples lives spread

out on their lawns or set at the

curb, including mine. Yet

through this tragedy, there were

so many unaffected that reached

out and helped those in need. I

can still remember the people

that came and assisted our fami-

ly; they will always hold a spe-cial place in our hearts. They

werent thinking of themselves

at that time; they heard a call for

help and responded.

We have since restored our

home and it just recently started

to feel like home where we could

feel comfortable. We were so

grateful this year

that we made it

through the sum-

mer with no hurri-

canes. Who would

have ever thought

at the end ofOctober, only

fourteen months

after Irene, Super

Storm Sandy

would darken our

doorways. If you

were like me, you

were glued to the TV watching

and tracking the storm.

Well, you know the out-

come; our gracious God had

mercy on northern New Jerseyfrom the devastation of flooding.

Yes, we had no power and the

lines for gas were long but He

spared us from what couldve

been horrible. Unfortunately for

Southern New Jersey and New

York City, the storm was cata-

strophic. People lost everything

some even lost their lives. I

was able to visit Brick several

times to help a friend that lost

her year-round home. As I drove

through the streets of purewreckage it was a familiar scene

once again. Memories came

pouring in as I realized there has

to be something more we can do

to give back. I know what a

blessing others were to my fami-

ly in our time of tragedy; now its

our turn to offer it back.

We will be collecting sup-

plies for our neighbors over

the next several weeks in

hopes of making this devas-

tating time just a bit easier.

As the Holidays are

approaching please considerdonating the following to

touch the lives of those who

lost so much:

Non-perishab le food, toi-

letries, personal hygiene

products, cleaning supplies

and cleaning tools, baby

items (especially diapers), paper

goods, toilet paper, paper towels,

bedding, blankets and yowels,

new underwear only, coats, new

or gently used hats and gloves,food store gift cards, batteries,

over-the-counter medication.

The collection point in our

area will be in Spa 23, located at

381 Route 23, Pompton Plains

Collections will last now

through November 28.

Presidential elections

are over! Obamacare is

here to stay! Fiscal

Cliff is on the horizon!

Recession rearing! Inflationlooming! Anemic interest

rates linger! Lousy stock mar-

kets persist! Federal deficit

increasing! Short sales and

foreclosures mounting!

Massive unemployment con-

tinues! Hurricane Sandy

aftermath: no power, no

internet, no TV, no phones,

no heat, no school no gas, no

patience, no paychecks, no

fun, no kiddingwow! This

makes me dizzy.

Hurricane winds, earth-quakes, fallen trees and other

bad news got you down? Feel

like you cant get off this

train or merry-go-round ride?

Do you feel like throwing up?

These last few weeks have

been rather grating on the

nerves. Even without power

or a working cable line for

more than 12 days, the head-

lines listed above keep rever-

berating in my head. Over

the course of Sandy, my

smartphone was my only linkto the outside world. The

Charnet world was temporar-

ily one of Monopoly,

Scrabble, Banana-Grams and

Gin Rummy, which replaced

the normal activities of inter-

active video gaming murder

and mayhem, DVDs and

homework. After a few days

our family got accustomed to

using the bathroom in the

dark, wearing jackets indoors

and spending most of our

time together in one room(the one with the fireplace!).

The smell of gasoline perme-

ated our home, as did the

fumes from the generator.

When my kids pulled up

to the gas pumps, the ques-

tion of cash or credit was

replaced with Fill up your

tank or your gas cans? With

a $40 limit, it was simply one

or the other. And though it

was aggravating and frustrat-

ing waiting for JCP&L and

Optimum to show-up, werealized that we were truly

blessed. With no injuries, no

property loss and a generator

at hand, we were considered

among the fortunate. Those

around us did not possess a

generator, nor did they have a

multitude of licensed chil-

dren to go to the gas pumps

simultaneously to wait three

hours for a drop or two of gas.

As they waited in line, I wentto the hardware store for a 25

foot piece of plastic tubing to

siphon our vehicles if it came

to that. A 100-foot extension

cord from Lowe's cost $89

plus tax and I had to buy two.

When added to the existing

ones, it stretched 1,000 feet

around and through my

home.

In NJ, 33 people per-

ished from the east coaststorm of the century named

Sandy. The Jersey shore was

smashed with property losses

in the billions, but more than

that, irreplaceable mementos,

pictures, collectibles and

heirlooms, furniture and

entire homes were gone,

swallowed up by the Atlantic.

Most of us in the Wayne area

lost a little time, a week or

two without pay, and saw our

blood pressure rise when

waiting on the power compa-

ny as well as the internet

provider. But by comparison

to our brethren south and

east of us, we lost very little.

With our focus off Sandy, we

are ready to refocus on the

headlines once again.Back to the quest of finan-

cial independence:

Maximizing our income

today while simultaneously

preserving, protecting and

perpetuating our wealth for

tomorrow! We can return to

the mission of eliminating,

avoiding and deferring

income taxes in addition to

preparing for the effects of

the fiscal cliff brought onby the elimination of tax

reductions, the increase in

income tax rates and the

addition of the Obamacare

tax levies, along with the

mandatory cuts in entitle-

ment and military spending.

Some experts predict increas-

es in unemployment, decreas-

es in stock prices, reductions

T

he tooth contains the

pulp (nerve) in the

center, which is madeup of nerves and blood ves-

sels. It provides feeling, as

well as new cells that repair

the tooth. Diseases of this

area are hidden inside the

tooth, diagnosed by symp-

toms, special tests, and X-

rays. Injury to the pulp can

cause pulpitis, which causes

sensitivity to different

degrees.

Injury to the dental pulpcauses changes that build up

over time and destroy the

nerve. Most of the time it is

caused by deep tooth decay

(bacteria), deep fillings,

cracked teeth, broken fill-

ings, or trauma. If it is a mild

injury, inflammation will

occur and many times the

pulp will repair itself. The

tooth will be sensitive to hot

and cold things, but thisshould go away in a short

period of time. If a long-

standing injury is left with-

out treatment, the tooths

pulp will die. Sometimes the

pulp dies without any symp-toms and may only be detect-

ed if the tooth breaks, turns

dark, or shows up on an X-

ray.

Reversible pulpitis is

mild inflammation and is

capable of healing when

treated by a dentist.

Symptoms and signs include:

1. Sensitivity to cold, sweets,

and sometimes heat

2. Pain stops in a few seconds3. Pain is short and sharp but

doesnt occur by itself

4. Pain caused by extreme

temperatures, not mild ones

Irreversible pulpitis is not

capable of healing; the

tooths pulp dies and infec-

tion soon follows. Symptoms

include:

1. Lingering pain from hot or

cold2. Initial sharp pain to cold

or hot

3. Pain from mild tempera-

tures

4. A dull ache or throbbing

pain

5. Spontaneous pain that

wakes you up at night or

when you lie down

6. Swollen face

Part 4 of this series will

conclude with diagnosis and

treatment.

Tax planning may

seem too difficult in

the current political

and economic environment.

But reviewing your tax situa-

tion before the end of2012

will position you to act quick-

ly when the timing is right.

Some rules that applied

when you prepared your 2011

federal income tax return

have expired, others are

expected to expire at the end

of this year and new provi-

sions are slated to begin in

2013. Here are a few tax

strategies to consider as year-

end 2012 approaches.

Review options for acceler-

ating income

The idea of paying feder-

al and state income tax early

may make you wince, but

having a plan in place in case

paying now results in saving

later is still a good idea. One

reason: Some methods of

pulling income from 2013

into 2012 require time

time you may not have if you

wait until the last minute.

For instance, say a viable

tax planning strategy

involves taking a payroll

bonus from your business at

year-end. You might choose

to do this to take advantage

of the current reduced rate of

4.2 percent for the employee

portion of social security tax,

which expires on December

31, 2012. Perhaps your goal is

to lower the amount of your

2013 income that will be sub-

ject to either the 3.8 percent

or 0.9 percent Medicare sur-

taxes taking effect next year.

Or maybe you want addition-

al earned income so you can

increase your retirement plan

contribution.

Timing matters if youre

thinking of another tax plan-

ning move: distributing a div-

idend from your corporation

this year, while the maximumtax rate for qualified divi-

dends is 15 percent.

Retirement accounts

also offer opportunities for

accelerating income into

2012. If you turned 70 this

year and you expect to be

subject to higher taxes in

2013, it may make sense to

take your initial required

minimum distribution by

December 31 instead of wait-

ing until next April.

Remember, too, that you

can withdraw funds without

penalty from traditional IRAs

beginning at age 59-1/2. In

some cases, penalty excep-

tions apply when youre

under age 59-1/2.

Converting your tradi-

tional IRA to a Roth also

increases income in 2012.

You can put this strategy in

place now, because it comes

with an added benefit: you

can change your mind later,

Over the past few

years, how many

times have you heard

or asked that question? In

Northern New Jersey, its

starting to become as com-

mon as Hello! People who

come into my store are always

asking me about backup

power solutions. After the

severe power outages that we

have suffered through last

year with the blizzards, floods

and hurricanes, the question

has been How do we keep

our power on?

Up until last week, I was

dismissing last year as an

anomaly. Well, the anomaly

is becoming a pattern. While

not a gambler, I do know and

believe a rule of gambling: If

something happens twice, its

a streak. Well, here we are

after the second straight year

of prolonged power outages. I

dont know whats causing

weather changes, but I do

know something has

increased the severity of our

weather. More multiple-day

outages are to be expected.

There are two practical

solutions. Both include gain-

ing independence from the

utilities, thus reducing our

dependence on them as a

reliable power source. The

first solution is to install a

standby power generator.

Running off natural gas or

propane, this solution can

satisfy at least your most crit-

ical requirements for power.

In most cases of severe

weather, a generator allows

families to continue to go

about their daily routines of

showering, cooking, heating,

cooling and maintaining

communications with the

rest of the world. They do

have a downside. An endless

supply of gas is not guaran-

teed. As we recently saw, nat-

ural gas companies were

forced in many locations to

cut their supplies off due to

danger of explosion. In these

areas, the standby generators

did no good until supply lines

were brought back online.

Portable generators help also,

but you need gasoline, which,

as weve seen, was not easy to

come by.

The second solution is

the ideal solution. Installing

a solar system with a backup

power supply can reduce your

dependence on your utility.

This technology is now an

affordable alternative. The

way it works is simple: A grid-

tied solar system on your

homes roof or in your yard

generates power during the

day. The power first charges a

set of batteries until fully

charged, then provides elec-

tricity to offset the usage in

your home. Any excess elec-

tricity generated is sent back

into the grid. Through net

metering, you are paid nor-

mal retail rates for this elec-

tricity by your utility.

When utility power is

shut down due to an event

such as Hurricane Sandy or

Katrina, or a major blizzard or

earthquake, switches are acti-

vated that redirect your

power source completely to

solar and battery backup. As

long as we have daylight,

youll have power. If the sun

should stop shinning, it wont

matter anyway, as power

wont be our biggest concern!

Your homes usage dic-

tates how big of a solar system

youll need. The size of your

backup battery system is

dependent on how long youll

want that usage to continue.

Sizing your system is key to

providing the proper power

levels. These backup systems

can even be installed on

homes with existing solar sys-

tems.

The one obstacle to

solar: not every home is solar

worthy. In that case,

a standby generator is

the best solution. But,

if you are solar wor-

thy, installing solar

with a battery backup

system is your best bet

to protecting your

home and family.

So, whats the best

reply to Did you get

power back yet?

Well, homeowners

with the solutions

above can answer I

never lost it!

Theres another great

debate about the

feline as a pet besides

the declawing issue. This

great debate concerns allow-

ing the feline to roam out-

doors versus living indoors.

Should you allow your cat to

roam outdoors? Lets find out.

Outdoor Felines

Cats are essentially wild

creatures, and they have

always loved the outdoors.

What feline owner hasnt

watched his cat loll in a

patch of sunshine on a winter

day, or roll contentedly in

the dirt in its own backyard?

Cats do love the sunshine,

the outdoors, and the fresh

air. However, outdoor cats

are susceptible to more dis-

eases, more injuries, and

more health problems.

Outdoor cats may tussle

with other cats, catch para-

sites or other diseases, or be

hit by a car or caught by

other predators. They can

also be poisoned by pesti-

cides, antifreeze left unat-

tended, or other toxins. They

can cause problems with

neighbors by using their

yards as a cat box. Outdoor

cats simply arent as safe as

indoor cats.

Indoor Felines

Indoor cats live longer,

healthier lives. Studies prove

it and common sense dictates

it. Indoor cats have many

advantages outdoor cats cant

hope to have. Outdoor cats

live on an average of 3 to 5

years, while indoor cats live

an average of 12 years or

more. My last indoor cats

lived to be 19 and nearly 21.

Indoor cats enjoy safety

and comfort. They are safe

from diseases that feral cats

may carry and outdoor cats

pick up. They are safe from

cat fights, cars, and preda-

tors. And, indoor cats wont

harm other wildlife, such as

birds and small animals.

Alternatives

There are many alterna-

tives to the outdoor lifestyle.

When kittens first come

home, they should be kept

indoors. If your cats miss

their outdoor excursions, you

might try to

train them to

wear a harness

and walk on a

leash. They will

still be able to

enjoy the out-

doors, but much

more safely.

Another alter-

native is to create a safe

outdoor area or run

where the cats can go

outside but cannot

escape the area. There are

many outdoor runs available

now that connect to a cat

door and allow the cat access

to a run on a patio or in a

backyard.

You can also allow the

cat outdoors on a patio or

deck when you are outdoors,

and only for a short time. Or,

you can use a carrier to take

your kitty for walks in the

sunshine.

Keeping kitty indoors

will keep it healthy, happy,

and free of infectious diseases

it might catch outside. Each

pet owner is responsible for

his own pets health and

well-being. Keeping kitty

inside is the choice that

makes sense.

With the economy

still struggling,

money is tight for

many homeowners. That reali-

ty can present a problem to

those who want to improve

their homes without spending

too much money.

The cost of a home

improvement project

depends on a host of factors,

including the scale of the

project and the availability of

materials. Upscale projects

like a full roof replacement

will set homeowners back a

substantial amount of money.

In its 2011-2012 Cost vs.

Value Report, Remodeling

magazine revealed that the

average cost of such a project

was nearly $38,000.

However, a smaller project

like a garage door replace-

ment could be completed for

fewer than $3,000.

When deciding if a home

improvement project is within

your budget, its a good idea to

consult such figures before

choosing a project. For exam-

ple, if your home is a fixer-

upper, then one project may

not be more urgent than

another, something that may

allow you to choose less expen-

sive projects now while saving

money for more expensive

projects down the road.

Its also important for

homeowners to know that fig-

ures such as those in the Cost

vs. Value Report are just aver-

ages. Some projects might cost

more than the average, while

others might come in well

under budget. To ensure your

project is one of the latter and

not the former, consider the

following ways to trim

costs off your next home

improvement project.

Avoid the DIY (do it

yourself) movement if

you dont have adequate

experience. Many home-

owners fall into the DIY

trap, feeling they can

pull off a project without

hiring a professional con-

tractor. While this is an

option for those home-

owners with home

improvement experi-

ence, its an approach

thats best avoided by those

without such experience.

Homeowners who decide to go

it alone on a home improve-

ment project should know that

mistakes are costly. One mis-

take could have you paying for

the same materials twice: once

when you begin the project,

and then again when you need

to hire a contractor after your

efforts didnt work out. A failed

DIY project also costs you time,something homeowners hoping

to sell their homes post-project

cannot afford to waste.

Hire the right contractor.

The best contractor for the job

wont necessarily be the one

who comes in with the lowest

estimate. The right contractor

will know how long a project

will take and what the materi-

als will cost. The wrong con-

tractor, who might lack the

experience of his competitors,

might make empty promises

that ultimately cost you moremoney via overrun costs. Find

a contractor who comes highly

recommended and is willing to

provide references and show

you his or her past projects like

the one youre hiring him or

her to undertake. If you hire

the wrong contractor, the proj-

ect may never be completed

and you may find yourself in

court, where the money you

had budgeted for home

improvements is being spent

on lawyers instead.

Consider supplying your ownmaterials. If you diligently

research your project, you

should be able to buy the mate-

rials yourself, even if you plan

on hiring a contractor to do

the work. Some contractors

mark up the materials as a

means of padding the bill. If

you research the project and

learn about the materials you

want to use, you can save a

substantial amount of money

buying those materials yourself

and then hiring a contractor.

Dont overlook recycledmaterials. Buying recycled

materials is another way to

reduce home improvement

costs. Bathroom fixtures,

doors, flooring, and lighting

are just a few of the materials

that are commonly recycled

and resold at a fraction of the

cost of new materials. Shop

around for stores in your area

or peruse the Internet for recy-

cled materials. Homeowners

undertaking a replacement

project rather than a remodel

might even be eligible for taxbreaks if they donate their old

materials.

Choose projects that provide

more bang for your buck.

Another way to save is to

choose projects that provide a

strong return on your invest-

ment. The Cost vs. Value

Report compares the cost of

popular remodeling projects

with the value those projects

retain at resale. If money is a

motivating factor behind your

project, choose a project that

will get you the most moneyback at resale.

While the economy has

not necessarily been kind to

the home improvement indus-

try, there are still plenty of

homeowners looking to

improve their homes. Savvy

homeowners can do just that

and save some money along

the way by putting a few strate-

gies to work for them.

Though ceiling fansare mostly associated

with warm-weather

seasons, most can be effec-

tive throughout the winter

months as well, helping cir-

culate warm air throughout a

room in much the same way

they circulate cool air during

the warmer weather. Most of

today's fans have a switch

near the motor housing that

alters the direction in whichthe fan's blades turn. When a

ceiling fan is used in the sum-mer, its blades push the air

downward, moving cool air

around the room. The air

blowing around the room is

what cools people within the

room. When the blades'

direction is altered, the

blades then push the air

upward toward the ceiling.

This drives the hot air, which

typically rises to the top,

down toward the edges of theroom. This helps circulate

warm air throughout a room,making for more even heat-

ing. Whats more, this

improved heat circulation

helps combat window sweat-

ing that results from conden-

sation on the glass when hot

air is not effectively circulat-

ed throughout a home.

Happy Thanksgiving!



20/28

With all of the

recent devastationand stress inflicted

on us from Hurricane Sandy

and Superstorm Athena, this

years Thanksgiving might

seem like another burden

around the corner. It seems

like we just got back to normal

and now Thanksgiving is onlya week away; time for some

holiday stress. Wayne

Chateau, located on Hamburg

Turnpike in Wayne, provides

an alternative to the hectic

preparation for the imminent

feast. Instead of fighting for

the last turkey in the super-market and slaving away all

day in the kitchen, celebrate

Thanksgiving at Wayne

Chateau at their Thanksgiving

Day Buffet. Everything you

could possibly want for a

Thanksgiving feast will be

served. Turkey, mashed pota-toes, cranberry sauce, stuffing,

vegetables, and pies are just

some of the menu items that

will be included in the all-you-

can-eat buffet.

Wayne Chateau is a fam-

ily owned restaurant that pro-

vides excellent and friendly

service. You will practically

feel like you are at home cele-

brating Thanksgiving with

your own family.Aside from the

Thanksgiving Day buffet, the

menu ranges over many differ-

ent food styles such as

Americana, Chinese, Italian,

Sushi, and Fish. The dinner

menu also includes filet

mignon and lobster; some of

the most popular menu items.

The buffet also offers many

entre and side items so that

there is something for every-one.

I found the atmosphere of

Wayne Chateau to be reminis-

cent of a Vegas style buffet.

even after the beginning of

the year.Roth conversions pro-

vide future-year tax breaks,

too. Unlike traditional IRAs,

withdrawals from Roth

accounts are not mandatory.

When you do choose to take

them, they are not subject to

the new 3.8 percent Medicare

surtax, nor are they included

in figuring the taxable

amount of your social security

benefits.

Regular income taxplanning is only one factor in

the decision to increase cur-

rent-year income.

The alternative minimum tax

(AMT) is another. The last

annual AMT "patch" expired

at the end of 2011 and youll

want to understand your

exposure based on current

rules.

Dont overlook less obvious

income

At this point in 2012,you have a fairly complete

picture of your income for the

year from sources such as

salary, retirement plan distri-

butions, and dividends. The

total of those, combined with

other predictable income

items, provides a good start-

ing point for tax planning

one youll want to augment

by thinking about less obvi-

ous additions to income.

An example is taxablecapital gains distributed by

mutual funds. These differ

from the gain you recognize

when you sell mutual fund

shares you own. Capital gain

distributions from funds

occur when a fund manager

makes a profit selling invest-

ments the fund owns. Those

gains are passed to sharehold-

ers, and you generally have

no control over the timing.

The distributed gains are tax-able even if you reinvest

them in additional shares,

and in some cases can impact

the AMT computation.

Check with your mutual fund

provider before assuming

youve captured all your

income for 2012.

Another potential item

thats easy to overlook: a

2010 Roth conversion. If you

opted to spread the tax over

two years, youll need toinclude the second half on

your 2012 federal income tax

return.

That will increase your

income, which in turn can

affect your marginal tax

bracket, taxable social securi-

ty benefits and how much of

your rental real estate activi-
