Isn’t it funny how so many
times we can become so fix-
ated with our own misfor-
tunes that we neglect to
remember it could be worse?
While I’m sitting at my desk
worrying about business or fam-
ily issues, I am failing to recog-
nize everything I am blessed
with in that moment…i.e. I’m
breathing. We like to focus on
the things that get us down and
in many ways we allow those
things to ruin our days, our
relationships, even our lives.
Meanwhile we forget that
things can always be worse and
that we need to be counting
the blessings that we do have,
no matter how barebones.
I had an aunt who would
seem to be the very imperson-
ation of “the worst.” Aunt
Teddy was diagnosed with
rheumatoid arthritis more than
two decades ago. The arthritis
destroyed her body in such a
way that she was literally twist-
ed. She was permanently bed-
ridden and in constant pain.
For the better part of 15 years,
the only pure daylight she was
able to see was on her rare visit
to the doctors. Before her body
had begun failing, she truly was
a ray of sunshine herself to all
those around her. Aunt Teddy
shared everything, from her
shore house to anything else
she had.
Every holiday my kids and
I traveled to see Aunt Teddy.
After climbing the steps of her
two-family house, we entered
to find this poor incapacitated
woman curled up on a recliner.
Though she knew exactly who

The question is: What
should I do with my
portfolio now? Should
the headline of this column
answer that question effec-
tively and definitively? After
all, the stock market has risen
constantly since the demise of
2008 with no major correc-
tions as of late. Does this
mean that a correction, pull-
back or crash is imminent?
The US stock market’s most
recent down years in reverse
order were: 2008, 2002, 2001,
2000, 1994, 1990 and 1987.
Might 2015 be next? Is there a
pattern to be derived from
these dates and if so, should
you take any action as not to
have your portfolio scarred byanother negative year? In
other words my question real-
ly is, can anyone actually and
successfully time the stock
market to know exactly when
to get out or into the market
in order to buy at the low and
sell at the high?
Market-timing has been
tried many times before with
many pundits claiming suc-
cess, were these people skilled,
have the “crystal ball”, just
lucky, or did they understand
and follow a pattern? Well,
sorry to disappoint, there real-
ly is no exact pattern or way
to actually determine when
the next “Big Crash” or “Huge
Run-up” will occur. Educated
guesses? Plenty, for sure, but
there must be a better way to
win in the wealth accumula-tion game and in my opinion
there is! It’s not sexy, flashy or
headline grabbing, but, it
works when applied and prac-
ticed. Best part is, everyone
can participate in the strategy
regardless of your net-worth,
current age or level of invest-
ment. Though not a guaran-
tee, the facts speak for them-
selves derived from thousands
of investors, if not millions of
them, throughout the country.
The greatest asset in the
accumulation of wealth is not
how much money you start
with, but rather how much
time you have to invest and
the frequency you add to it.
Generally speaking, little
sums of money invested prop-
erly and consistently over a
large span of time will turn
into a very large sum of
money. So what is this properinvestment to accomplish
this? I’ll tell you! The answer
is not to search for the next
Apple computer, Google or
IBM before that. No, that
would be as difficult as choos-
ing the best time to buy or
sell. We’ve determined so far
that most of us don’t know
when the best time to buy
shares would be nor the right
company shares to purchase
either. Equally the over-
whelming majority of stock
brokers don’t know the
answer to these two questions
either, therefore who does?
I’m afraid the answer is no one
knows, though there are lots
of opinions and financial
newsletters and magazines to
persuade you to purchase their
picks for sure. The question
remains, how can one build a
successful retirement portfoliowith little knowledge and
money?
The answer is to hire the
finest money management
talent in the industry to be
your investment team, give
them your money and let
them make the daily decisions
of what and when to buy and
sell with a mutual goal of
growing the portfolio. Your
obligation, is simply to invest
with them every week to ten
days giving them the capital
they need to structure, build
and grow your portfolio.
However, there is a problem:
as a single investor with very
little to invest, you probably
couldn’t attract the most tal-
ented portfolio management
staff. Solution: if you pooled
your dollars with thousands of
other people with the identi-
cal financial goals, surely youcould do it. The management
would be directed not to put
more than 5% of the assets
into any one security and not
to deviate from the stated
objective of growth of capital
for example. The manager(s)
would be obligated to choose
from a varying array of indus-
tries, companies, countries
and currencies to avoid over
exposure in one area or region
and the associated risk of loss.
Further, management must
maintain the ability to liqui-
date any portion of the portfo-
lio on demand in case of
shareholder liquidity needs.
(Shares to be sold at market
value of course.)
By consistently investing
as little as $100 a month or
$50 a week from thousands of investors over the many
months, quarters and years
ahead, through the good and
bad times that will present
themselves on the road to
prosperity, financial success
should be achieved! There is a
two word description of this
type of investment vehicle
with a myriad of variations
that some call the “perfect
investment opportunity”.
That name is a “Mutual
Fund!” I believe that every-
one needs to understand how
these fine financial vehicles
operate, but, more important-
ly, how to wisely choose and
use just a few of the thousands
of mutual funds available for
long-term wealth accumula-
tion. Perhaps the headline of
this week’s column shouldread: Buy! Buy! Buy! And
never stop buying!

we were, we each found our-
selves having to verbally con-
firm our presence. “Hey Aunt
Teddy. It’s Joey.” Even as diffi-
cult as it was to see through hersickly disposition, there was
always joy in her eyes when we
came to visit her. But the one
thing that always stuck out to
me during our visits was her
answer to the age-old question:
“How are you doing?” She
would always smile and reply,
“It could be worse!”
Imagine that! Completely
incapacitated, completely de-
pendent and filled with pain,and still it could be worse!
What an attitude to have.
Aunt Teddy was one of the few
people for whom I’d say it
couldn’t get much worse. Yet
still, there she was visit after
visit declaring her blessings and
claiming that things could be
worse.
Think about it…
Today, right now I ask youto think about all the things
that are good in your life.
Reflect on them and give
thanks. You may say, “Joe,
believe me there is nothing to
smile about.” The fact that you
still have breath in your lungs
means that today is the day
everything can change. Hey,
it’s a choice. Make the right
one! Still need convincing?
Google a gentlemen named
Nick Vujicic. If you do, I think
you might feel differently.

Developing strong and
healthy relationships
with pets requires
that pet owners provide for
their pets in a variety of ways.
Although affection and exer-
cise are essential elements to
raising a well-rounded pet,
owners should not overlook
one of the most important
parts of pet care: discipline.
Well-trained pets can be
a joy to be around. The
American Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals says learning how to
train a dog can improve the
life of the pet and the life of
the owner, enhancing the
bond between the owner and
the dog while ensuring the
pet’s safety. Many dogs are
eager to learn and will
embrace their training.
Dogs have special needs
and instincts, communicating
in ways separate from humans.
When a puppy is brought into
a home, both puppy and
owner must adapt to each
other. Humans must learn to
communicate effectively in a
language that a dog will com-prehend, while dogs must
learn to fit into the human
world and refocus some
behaviors that may not be
appropriate in a home setting.
Pet owners have various
training methods at their dis-
posal. Pet owners can find
many resources in the library,
at pet care centers, or online.
No matter which training
method pet owners choose,
the most effective are those
that reward good behavior so
that dogs will be more
inclined to repeat that behav-
ior over and over. Bad behav-
ior should not be punished,
but there should be conse-
quences. The ASPCA says
dogs live in the moment andcannot make connections
between events and past expe-
riences. Therefore, praise or
consequence has to happen
immediately for the notion to
be reinforced. If the dog sits
on command, she should be
given a treat or a good amount
of praise. If she is nipping
while playing, the owner
should stop the play so that
the fun ends immediately.
Training also requires
consistency. Anyone involved
in the training and interac-
tion with the pet should be
following the same set of
guidelines. If a behavior isworthy of praise, it should be
offered each and every time. If
the dog jumps up on a greet-
ing and that is discouraged,
every person she jumps up on
should correct the behavior.
All it takes is one person to
pet the dog when she is doing

According to the
United States Depart-
ment of Health and
Human Services, children and
adolescents should engage in
physical activity for 60 minutes
or more each day. While fulfill-
ing those requirements might
not have been a problem for
kids who grew up before the
dawn of the Internet, nowadays
kids are spending less time
playing outside and more time
on their computers or other
devices.
That reality is problemat-
ic for parents who want their
kids to embrace physical activ-
ity thanks to the positive
impact that exercise can have
on kids’ physical and mentalwell-being. Parents hoping to
instill a love of physical activi-
ty in their youngsters may find
that taking a more active role
by exercising with their kids is
an effective way to get them off
the couch and away from their
computer screens.
Turn errands into exercise
opportunities. Many parents
take their children along with
them when running errands.
When such errands don’t nec-
essarily require the use of a car,
consider riding bicycles
instead. Kids who otherwise
don’t enjoy errands may now
find them more fun, all the
while fulfilling their daily rec-
ommended quotas for exerciseand spending quality time with
their parents.
Include kids in your own
athletic pursuits. Parents might
not be able to take younger
kids along with them to the
gym, but that does not mean
your youngsters must be
excluded from all of your ath-
letic pursuits. If you have any
upcoming athletic activities or
challenges on your schedule,
such as a new recreational
sports season or community fun
run or 5K, let kids tag along as
you train or practice. Parents of
adolescents can inquire at their
local gyms if they offer dis-
counted memberships to teens.
If so, take kids along with youon trips to the gym so they
learn the value and benefits of
daily strength and conditioning
exercises.
Make more time to play.
Parents may already have busy
schedules, but finding time to
play with their kids is a great
way to get youngsters to
embrace physical activity. Kids
might be reluctant to shoot
hoops in the driveway if no one
is willing to join them, but they
will likely be far more willing to
do so if mom and dad are will-
ing to play with them. This is
not only a good way for parents
to ensure their kids get enough
exercise, but also a great and
fun way for moms and dads tomake time for physical activity.
Recognize that physical
activity does not have to mean
organized sports. Some kids
have no interest in team sports
while others do not have the
athletic ability to compete after
a certain age. Parents who

Summer camp is a beloved tradition in many families.
Many parents of young children fondly recall spendingtheir summers at summer camp, where they made
lifelong friends and learned the finer points of roasting
marshmallows and competing in three-legged sack races.
Parents looking for the right summer camp for their kids will
soon discover there are various types of summer camps,each offering youngsters something different. The following
are some of the summer camp options parents can expect to
encounter as they search for the right camp for their kids.
DAY CAMP
Day camps are not overnight camps, which means kids willreturn home each night rather than sleep over at camp. Day
camps typically offer many of the activities people have cometo associate with camps, including crafts, sports and even
day-trips to experience local culture or attractions. Many day
camps are co-ed, and counselors typically live within thecommunity.
FAITH-BASED CAMP
Faith-based camps offer many of the same activities as more
traditional summer camps, but do so while simultaneouslyoffering campers the opportunity to celebrate and further
explore their religious beliefs. Some faith-based camps may
focus heavily on religion, incorporating faith into daily campactivities, while others may be more subtle with regard to
integrating religious beliefs and lessons into camp activities.
SPORTS CAMPS
Some summer camps focus on a particular sport, catering to
young athletes who want to further develop their athletic
talents. Sports camps may feature guest lectures and lessonsfrom notable local athletes and coaches, while some camps
may provide instruction from current and/or former
professional athletes. Some sports camps are overnight,while others are day camps.
FAMILY CAMPS
Family camps are opportunities for the whole family to enjoy
the summer camp experience. Family camps typically tailor
their activities around tasks families can complete together,with counselors providing assistance when it's needed.
Family camps may be faith-based or secular, and familiestypically stay overnight, sleeping in facilities on the campsites
or in lodging away from home.
SPECIAL NEEDS CAMPS
Parents of children with special needs can still send their kidsto summer camp, as there are many camps that cater to such
youngsters. Special needs camps may cater to campers who
are blind, deaf, learning disabled, or mentally or physicallydisabled. Staff at special needs camps typically undergoes
extensive training, which helps to calm some of the fears
parents may have about leaving their special needs childrenat camp. Facilities at special needs camps are often built to
accommodate the specific needs of campers.

fertilizer containing a heavy combination of nitrates and phosphates
which immediately give your lawn a nice green appearance, but is actually
detrimental as it reduces the long-term health of your soil and lawn.

want their kids to exercise
more should recognize thatthere are plenty of ways to be
physically active that do not
involve organized team sports.
Hiking; riding bicycles; swim-
ming at a nearby pool, lake or
ocean; and even going for
nightly walks are all physical
activities that people of all ages
and athletic abilities can enjoy.
Physical activity is an
important component of a
healthy lifestyle. While get-ting kids to put down their
tablets and gaming system
remote controls may not be
easy, parents who resolve to
exercise with their children
might find their youngsters
more receptive to regular
physical activity.
something wrong to confuse
the animal.
It’s also important to
consider the dog’s tempera-
ment during training. Certainbreeds tend to be more docile
or dominant than others.
Training methods may need
to be adapted based on the
demeanor of the dog. Owners
who have a stubborn, willful
dog on their hands may need
firmer, more consistent meas-
ures. A dog who is more
amenable may be trained easi-
ly with food-based rewards.
Finding the training balancecan take time and patience.
Dogs who are trained as
puppies will learn good
behavior right away and be
less likely to adopt bad habits.
But dogs can be trained at any
age. Older dogs may just
require a little more effort.
Training tends to be most
effective when it is short and
fun for pets and their owners.
Dogs do not have long atten-
tion spans, so many trainers
recommend that training ses-
sions last no longer than 15minutes. Commands should
be to the point and not cloud-
ed with a lot of language. For
example, “sit,” “stay,” “down”
and “off” will get the point
across.
Try practicing the train-
ing in different environments
and scenarios. This way the
dog will behave whether at
home or in a friend’s back-
yard. Use rewards that are tiedto the event and what the dog
may find most attractive at
that point. A hungry dog may
respond to food treats. A dog
looking to play may appreci-
ate a game of catch as a
reward.
If training doesn’t seem
to be working, try a few differ-
ent options. Some pet owners
find they need help training
their dogs. In addition to
informative literature and
training videos, dog trainers
are readily available. Classescan be scheduled privately,
and many pet centers offer
group classes to interested pet
owners. The success rate of
training classes and the social-
ization that these training
opportunities offer often justi-
fies the financial and time
investments required to
attend classes.
The American Veter-
inary Society of AnimalBehavior emphasizes the
importance of starting a puppy
in training, including training
classes before all vaccinations
have been completed. Data
supports a lower risk of trans-
mission of disease in puppy
socialization classes over the
last 10 years. Lack of full
immunizations should not be
reason alone to keep pups out
of important training classes.
Pet owners should know
that not all behaviors can be
stopped. Rather than punishthe dog for every natural
behavior, try to find accept-
able ways to channel those
instincts into something safe.
A dog who likes to chew
should be given plenty of toys.
Dogs who are naturally active
should be given adequate
amounts of time to run out-
side. Highly intelligent breeds
may benefit from agility train-
ing or even learning assistancetechniques.
A veterinarian can usu-
ally provide resources on ani-
mal trainers in the area. Look
to work with Certified
Professional Dog Trainers
(CPDTs) and Certified
Applied Animal Behaviorists
(CAABs)

Despite other inten-tions, homeowners
often turn their
garages into storage centers
for random, little-used items,
leaving little to no room for
the tools and even vehicles
that actually belong in agarage. Such homeowners
may turn to sheds to store
their garage overflow and
keep yard equipment at the
ready, but storage sheds are
not immune to clutter, and
homeowners may find thevery structure erected to keep
them organized requires a bit
of organization 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 inthe shed should be moved to
their rightful locations or
tossed in the trash if they’re
no longer needed. Make a pile
of anything that will be kept,
a separate one for donations
and a third for garbage. Take
inventory of what you have so
you know whether you’re
missing any items or you havesomething and do not need to
purchase another.
Now that the enti re
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, peg-
boards and any other materi-
als 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 be able to put scrap wood
to use to make your own stor-
age shelves or a work bench.
Extra kitchen cabinets can beinstalled in the shed to organ-
ize additional items.
In order to remember
where items go, label or sort
them accordingly. Some peo-
ple 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 visu-
al reminder of which tools are
missing and which ones need
to be purchased.
Don’t forget to utilize
shed doors as additional stor-
age space. Hang frequently
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 forother areas of the home. For
example, magnetic knife
holders can be mounted to a
shed wall to keep paintbrush-
es 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, chemical fer-
tilizers and other potentially
dangerous substances 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,
wheelbarrow and any othercumbersome items. Now that
more things are mounted ver-
tically, 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.

Mother Nature pro-
vides plenty to grow
healthy lawns, gar-
dens and landscapes. But as
many homeowners know,
some lawns sometimes need a
little extra boost to comple-
ment nature. Soil sometimes
must be amended so plants
can thrive. Only after the
right composition is created
can plants take root and
perform to the best of their
abilities.
The Colorado State
University Extension defines a
soil amendment as any materi-
al added to soil to improve its
physical properties. The goal is
to provide a better environ-
ment for roots. Depending on
what you are starting with, any
number of ingredients must be
added to the soil recipe. Water
retention, permeability,
drainage, aeration, nutrients,
and water infiltration are some
of the things amendments can
improve when added to soil.
Before homeowners add
anything to the soil in their
yards, it is first important to
determine what that soil
needs. Homeowners maynotice if soil is overly sandy or
full of clay, but further testing
can confirm what the soil is
lacking. Soil tests are often
available through local coop-
erative extension offices or
private laboratories. Speak
with a nursery or gardencenter
about where you can get your
soil tested. A comprehensive
test may cost between $5 and
$10 and can provide invalu-
able information that saves
you hundreds of dollars in
wasted plants and materials,
not to mention effort. Some
labs also can tailor their rec-
ommendations based on the
type of planting you will be
doing. For example, a veg-
etable garden may need differ-
ent amendments than a row of
azalea bushes.
Organic matter is a pre-
ferred soil amendment used by
professional and novice gar-
deners alike. The decaying
remains of plants release nutri-
ents that are absorbed into the

Fresh ingredients are
the hallmark of a
Mediterranean diet,
which is one reason so many
people have increasingly
embraced this captivating cui-
sine in recent years. Rich in
the use of fish, vegetables,
fruit, cheese and olive oil,
Mediterranean diets are both
delicious and loaded with
nutrition.
Perhaps most surprisingabout the Mediterranean diet
is not the ingredients, but
how differently those ingredi-
ents are used from country to
country. Meals that are com-
monplace in Morocco might
be nothing like those served
in Spain, despite containing
similar ingredients. That’s
great news to men and women
who want to embrace the
Mediterranean diet, which
can provide the healthy vari-
ety of ingredients men and
women are looking for.
Those who want a taste
of Spanish tapas can try the
following recipe for “Pork
Tenderloin With Pears and
Sweet Sherry” courtesy of

2 garlic cloves
1 pear, not too hard if possible
Scant ½ cup sweet oloroso sherry
Few tablespoons chicken
broth (optional)
Sea salt and freshly
ground black pepper
Heat a ladled sauté pan
to medium-hot. (The trick to
pan-frying meat is the tem-
perature of the pan. It should
be hot enough to brown and
seal the meat, but not so hotthat you burn the bottom of
the pan, as the sediment left
adds a delicious flavor to the
final sauce.)
Trim the tenderloin of
any white sinew and cut into
½ inch slices. Add the oil to
the pan and, when hot, add
the pork. Cook the slices,
browning on both sides.
Remove when the meat is
sealed and brown, but if the
slices are thicker, reduce the
heat a little to cook through.
Meanwhile, chop the onion
and slice the garlic.
Remove the meat to a
bowl and add the onion and
garlic to the pan. Cover the
pan with the lid and gently
cook the onion, scraping all
the tasty sediment left by the
meat (add a dash of water tohelp remove it before it burns
if the pan is too hot).
While the onion is cook-
ing, peel the pear, quarter,
core and cut into thin slices.
Add the pear and continue to
cook for another 5 minutes,
covered. When the onion and
pear are soft, return the meat
to the pan, mixing into the
onions and season with salt
and pepper.
Increase the heat to
medium-hot, add the sherry
and cook at a brisk simmer
for 2 minutes to amalgamate
the flavors. If you like your
meat with a bit more sauce,
you can add a few table-
spoons of chicken broth or
even water when the sauce
comes to a boil.
Set aside for a few min-utes then serve as a tapas or
main course.

soil and used by microorgan-
isms and bacteria, creating a
healthy environment for
plants. Organic material may
break up compacted soil to
increase drainage. In sandy
soil, organic material serves
as a sponge to keep water
from washing away. Compost
and manure are two examples
of frequently used organic
materials. Both of these
materials are readily availableat little cost.
Compost can be pro-
duced at home from food and
plant scraps. Raked leaves and
small amounts of grass clip-
pings can be added to compost.
Over time, the decomposition
process will turn scraps into a
nutrient-rich, dark brown sub-
stance that provides many
plants with all they need to
thrive. Compost is particularly
useful in vegetable gardens.
Manure should come
from herbivores, or those ani-
mals that sustain themselves
on grass and other plants.
Carnivores can produce harm-
ful bacteria in their waste,
which is not safe to use in gar-
dens, particularly food-bear-
ing gardens. Manure can be
commercially purchased, oravid gardeners can work out
arrangements with nearby
livestock owners and farms.
These people may be more
than willing to give you
manure for little to no cost if
you cart it away. Dried manure
is preferred because it will
have minimal odor.
Additional forms of
organic amendments include
wood ash, sphagnum peat,
wood chips, sawdust, and
worm droppings.
Inorganic amendments
also may be used, and are usu-
ally relied on to improve water
retention and drainage.
Vermiculite, perlite, pea grav-
el, and sand are examples of
inorganic amendments. A
combination of organic and
inorganic amendments cancreate the perfect mix for your
needs.
Soil amendments typical-
ly are added to new and
unplanted beds. Peat moss and
shredded bark take years to
decompose and will serve as
long-term amendments in the
soil. Compost breaks down
quickly and may need to be
worked in more frequently.
Experts recommend
spreading amendments on the
planting bed and then using a
rake or tiller to work it in to a
depth of about nine inches.
Particularly sandy soil or soil
with a lot of clay may need
more amendments.
Permanent plants, such
as trees or shrubs, also can
benefit from the extra nutrient
boost amendments provide.Sometimes it is sufficient to
spread the material over the
soil surface and let rainwater
and wildlife help distribute it
to the plant roots. Otherwise,
work it into the top inch or
two of the dirt with a hand
cultivator.
Amendments can help produce healthy soil

Springtime at Arbor Glen
To celebrate spring, Esther DelCarpio and her group of volun-
teers visited the residents of Arbor Glen Center in Cedar
Grove with a wonderful program of songs from the Beatles to
Broadway. There were plenty of volunteers on hand. Newcomer,
Isabella, a 5 year old Pomeranian pooch made her debut. Isabella is
owned by Morgan Hiers of Totowa. Morgan felt that Isabella would
make a great therapy dog due to Isabella’s love for people and cud-
dling. Anyone interested in pet therapy or volunteering can contact Esther
DelCarpio at 973-890-7556 or email [email protected].
