are told they owemoney to the InternalRevenue Service,which must be paidimmediately through a

pre-loaded debit card ora wire transfer. If thevictim declines to coop-erate, they are threat-ened with arrest orsuspension of theirdrivers license. Scam-mers use fake commonnames. They may be

able to recite the lastfour digits of a victimsSocial Security number.They may make yourCaller ID appear as ifthe call is coming fromthe IRS toll-freenumber.The IRS will never ask

for your credit cardnumber on thetelephone nor do theyrequest payment by a

(NAPSI)Anyonecan have beautiful,

functional floors-onceyou review youroptions. For example,you may have yourheart set on hardwood,

but laminate may be abetter option given yourlifestyle. Alternatively,you may admire tilefloors, but you might bea lot happier withluxury vinyl tile (LVT).In order to make the

right decision, considerthree key factors-

budget, wearability andmaintenance.

Hardwoodfloors are agreat choice under theright conditions. Noth-ing compares to thenatural beauty, color,intricate graining anddepth of shine of ahardwood floor. Notonly easy on the eye,hardwood floors tend to

be warm underfoot too.Hardwood is timely

and timeless and com-pletely authentic, and itcomes in many colors,from nearly white to

practically black andvarious warm shades of

brown in between.While there are many

pluses to hardwood,there are some minusesto consider when decid-ing whether its rightfor you. Depending onthe species, some hard-wood floors can take agreat deal of wear and

tear and still look good.Others, though beauti-

ful at first, show thesigns of wear veryquickly. In any case,you have to clean andcare for it properly.This includes not usingammonia cleaners, oilsoaps or a wet mop;using a professionalhardwood floor cleanerto remove scuffs andscratches; and cleaningspills immediately. Forthese reasons, hard-wood might not be the

best fit for everyhome.In some cases, lami-

nate is a great alterna-tive. Fortunately, for

people who really likethe look of wood,theres an excellent-and much lessexpensive-alternative:laminate flooring.Through highlydetailed digitized

photography, laminatefloors of today dupli-cate hardwood withtremendous realismthat allows for a lower

initial cost.Unlike hardwood, a

laminate floor will notfade. Pets can also be a

problem for hardwoodflooring. Laminate, onthe other hand, offers adurable wear surfacethat is highly stain,scratch and moistureresistant. Because ofits durability, hygienic

nature and ease ofinstallation and mainte-

nance, laminate floorshave become a low-costalternative to hard-wood, stone and tile. Is your heart set on

stone? Natural stoneand porcelain tiles areanother popular way to

pave your floors. Theycome in all shapes,sizes and colors, glazedor unglazed, and can beused plain, decorated oras part of a mosaic.Along with its beauty,

natural stone flooringwill likely increase yourhomes resale value,and it only improveswith age.Stone is also popular

because every piece ofstone is unique so notwo floors are alike.

Natural stone varies inhardness as no stonefloor has a perfectlysmooth surface. Thereis always a possibilitythat small chips or pitsmay show up and bemore evident in certainkinds of lighting. Its a

good idea to match theflooring with the kindof activities that will betaking place, as soft,

porous stone flooring isprobably inappropriatefor a high-traffic area.A properly installed

ceramic tile floor willoutperform and outlastnearly any other.Glazed ceramic tile and

porcelain resist stains,odors and dirt and can

be cleaned easily. Italso does not burn oremit toxic fumes. It can,however, be expensiveand difficult to install,and some people findtile cold underfoot.Vinyl floors offer

many perks. Luxuryvinyl tile, which falls inthe resilient flooringcategory, may be aflooring you shouldconsider-especially ifyoure concerned about

pets and kids. Luxuryvinyl tile flooring is agreat choice for kitch-ens and bathrooms, aswell, because its nowax and easy to keepclean. Its durable,affordable, water resis-tant, easy to install anddoesnt fade or stain.LVT flooring comes in

many colors, texturesand patterns and canimitate wood grain, tile,even marble. Since italso comes in sheets,

planks and tiles, thereslots of room for self-

expression. Plus, LVTare flexible and soft towalk on. They have acushy give underfoot.You can find furtherfacts on floors anddecorating advice fromthe experts at the WorldFloor Covering Asso-ciation atwww.WFCA.org and(800) 624-6880.

Hello fellow readers,About a year ago we

shared the DesignProcess as it related tothe Blairstown VillageGreen planned for wherethe old CommunityCenter once stood. GinaTrish led the charge andPatti Doell, President ofthe North Warren GardenClub and owner of LittleBig Farm, worked withme to design a gardenfitting for the siteconditions as well as thefunctional opportunitiesthe pocket park willserve; located in thecenter of town, behindAgway, and next to theseasonal FarmersMarket. Thanks to theTownship Committee andall those that supportedthe project, the VillageGreen was installed last

week during the coldestspell this fall I might add.Brrr!While most of the plants

are already dormant thereare visual pleasures toenjoy all winter long. Arustic cedar split railfence installed by SalernoFence of Wantage framesthe park and reflects therural flavor of Blair-

stown. And, the creamand salmon pealing barkof the River Birch(Betula nigra) are the bestin show providingall-season interest. Agens

Stone of Columbiaprovided over 6 ton ofboulders to pepper thegarden with naturalsculptures that areunsurpassed in deerresistance (smile). Agenswill also be delivering 6stone benches to offer arespite spot for parkvisitors. Even when drythe ornamental grassesthat grace the gardencreate a lovely display.Herman Shoemaker,Committeeman andowner of Booknest ofBlairstown dropped byand mentioned he had

heard about a grass seedinstalled late in theseason that may be lesslikely to rot overwinter.Jeff Baier, owner ofColumbia-based JB'sLandscaping whoinstalled the park, used alandscape mix of primar-ily perennial rye grass,Kentucky bluegrass andred fescue. With a layerof topsoil, then seed andstraw on top, Kevin Baiersays the seed will sink inover winter and come tolife come spring. Jeffassured that the lateseason lawn establish-

ment will be successful.For now, a field of straw(please keep off for a fewweeks), dormant plants, asuper cool fence, 9 big

boy boulders and thepromise of a field ofgreen to come. Thanks toall!Garden dilemmas?askmarystone.com

No qualifications. Noidea where to start.My Mom went from

can be overwhelming,said Barry J. Jacobs,Psy.D., clinical

psychologist and familytherapist at Crozer-Keystone Health Systemin Springfield, Pa.

(NAPSI)Accordingto the Caregiver Action

Network, more than 65million Americans carefor loved ones withchronic illnesses,disabilities and frailty.Among their manyr e s p o n s i b i l i t i e s ,caregivers are oftentasked with helpingtheir loved one under-stand Medicare andmake coveragedecisions. By followinga few tips, caregiverscan feel more confidentabout their ability tohelp their loved onenavigate Medicare.

First, start with thebasics. There are twoways to access Medi-care. Original Medicareincludes Part A(hospital insurance) andPart B (medical insur-ance) and is offeredthrough the federalgovernment. As analternative, some peoplechoose MedicareAdvantage (Part C),which includes all thecoverage of OriginalMedicare plus addi-tional benefits, often forno additional monthly

premium. These plansare offered throughprivate insurance com-panies approved by thegovernment.Prescription drug

coverage is availablewith Medicare Part D,which is typicallyincluded in MedicareAdvantage plans butcan also be purchasedseparately for those

with Original Medicare.It is also offered through

private insurance com-panies approved by thegovernment.Some beneficiaries

who have OriginalMedicare enroll in aMedicare supplement

plan, which coverssome or all of the costsnot covered by Parts Aand B.Next, compare yourcare recipients options.When caregivers are

comparing Medicareplans, its important forthem to consider boththeir loved ones health

and budget needs, saidRhonda Randall, D.O.,chief medical officer forU n i t e d H e a l t h c a r eRetiree Solutions.Look at the total costof a plan, including

premiums, deductibles,copayments and coin-surance, as well as the

plans network, if it hasone, to make sureyoure comfortable withthe doctors and hospi-tals that are included.If additional benefits

such as dental andvision care or a gym

membership are impor-tant, Randall suggestsconsidering a MedicareAdvantage plan;

benefits like these arenot typically covered byOriginal Medicare.Lastly, dont go it

alone. If you care for anolder adult now oranticipate taking on acaregiver role, there arecaregiver tools and

By David ZernheltThis year marks the 50th

anniversary of PresidentJohn F. Kennedy beingassassinated in Dallas,Texas. In light of the halfcentury anniversary sincePresident Kennedy's tragicdeath, I have a specialstory I wanted to share.

In 2003, I establishedhaving a pen pal by thename of Kenneth Davi-doff, who resides in LakeWorth, Fla. Kenneth is a

professional photogra-pher.

I had learned throughKenneth that his father Robert Davidoff, was alsoa professional photogra-

pher and was the personalphotographer for theKennedy family for morethan five decades.Robert Davidoff was

born in New York andgrew up in Brooklyn. Hestudied photography

before enlisting in theNavy in World War II. Heturned 18 on June 5, 1944,while aboard the lightcruiser USS Marblehead,

preparing for the D-Dayinvasion of France. Hewas awarded a Silver Starfor rescuing a woundedsailor from waters off

Normandy. He worked asa photographer at a resortin Long Island, N.Y.,

before answering a news-

paper advertisement for aposition in Palm Beach,Fla.He had a camera at the

ready whenever he wasdriving around PalmBeach. He had taught allof his sons the photogra-

phy business.In October of 2004,

Robert Davidoff died ofpneumonia. For over halfa year after his father'sdeath, Kenneth and Ihadn't written to each

( N A P S I ) Y o u renergy bills will be lesslikely to get you hotunder the collar if youheed a few hints fromthe experts at the U.S.Department of Energy.1. Install and set a

programmable thermo-stat to save up to 10percent on heating andcooling costs.2. Use sunlight to your

advantage. During thecold months, open yourcurtains during the dayto let the sun shine in.During warmer months,use light-coloredwindow shades or blindsto reflect heat back out.Using natural lightingcan also reduce yourneed for artificial light.3. Set your water heater

to no higher than 120

degrees. Install low-flow showerheads ortemperature-sensitiveshower valves.4. Choose energy-

saving lighting. Com-pared to traditionalincandescent bulbs,compact fluorescentbulbs yield as much as75 percent energysavings and last sixtimes longer.5. Get an electronic

power strip. Many char-gers and other devicesconsume energy evenwhen not in use. Plugthem into the powerstrip and turn it off.6. Arrange for annual

heating and coolingsystem maintenance bya qualified technician.7. Clean the air filters

in your heating andcooling system monthlyand replace them asneeded.Also, clean the vents,

vacuum under the refrig-erator and keep food

other. Out of respect forRobert's family, I haddistanced myself so thatKenneth and his familycould properly grieve theirsad loss in peace. In 2005,I started developing a pen

pal status between myself,Senator Ted Kennedy(now deceased since

2009) and his son formerCongressman of RhodeIsland Patrick J.Kennedy.We wrote to each other

about once a month for afew years. Many of ourletters back and forth toeach other discussedRobert Davidoff, Presi-dent Kennedy, andhardships that befellcertain Kennedy familymembers. Both SenatorKennedy and his son Patrick were aware that I

was also correspondingwith Dr. Cyril Wecht ofPittsburg, Pa. Wecht is thecelebrity pathologist thatthe Kennedy family hired

back in the early 1970's toconduct an examination ofcertain evidence that wasrelated to the Kennedyassassination.Wecht was the first to

discover that PresidentKennedy's brain wasmissing along with severalautopsy photos and otherrecords. Wecht was evenspecially interviewed and

that interview was put asan extra feature at the endof filmmaker OliverStone's 1991 'JFK' film.I have a book that was

sent to me by KennethDavidoff of a lot of the

photos his father Roberthad taken of the Kennedyfamily.It's called, 'The Kennedy

Family Album andKenneth along with his

brothers and mother hadall autographed it for me.I wasn't around and hadn't

been born yet when Presi-dent Kennedy was assassi-nated on November 22nd,1963 and my fascinationwith President Kennedycame about after I startedstudying the history abouthim and his family in2000.For this year, I want

people to remember Presi-dent Kennedy not because

of how he died, but for thegood person he was whilehe lived. Putting politicsaside, we can't change the

past, but we can learnfrom others through their

positive methods andways. In one of my pastletters from SenatorKennedy, he mentioned

that he loved his brotherJohn and that he thoughtof him daily. SenatorKennedy expressed that hemissed his brother somuch to me many times inhis letters.We as a society and

people may never trulyknow what reallyhappened in Dallas, Texasto President Kennedy in1963. If we were meant toknow we'd know rightnow. Maybe the truth willcome out some day.

Maybe it won't. Whetherit does or doesn't,conspiracy theories anddifferent stories thatsurface on what could orcouldn't have happenedwon't change the circum-stances. PresidentKennedy inspired so many

people. He was one ournation's greatest remem-

bered presidents. Hereally did care aboutmaking America a better

place for everyone to liveside by side with stability,

peace and harmony.

In 2010, Senator TedKennedy's sons Patrickand Ted, Jr. had sent mecondolence letters shortlyafter my parents had died.I was completely devas-tated after losing my

parents. When TedKennedy's sons gave metheir spiritual support, ithelped me overcome someof the darkest times I wasgoing through in my life. Iloved my parents with allof my heart and I love ourcountry. No matter what

mistakes we've ever madethat we've learned from,we all deserve to betreated equally. We live inthe best country in theworld where more peopleshould always try to cometogether in both thedifficult and best of times.

Not just the difficult timesalone.Making ourselves prevail

from our talents, skills,and hobbies should always

be our set goals in ourlives. When we pushourselves to the best of ourabilities and efforts, wecan succeed through thedifficult challenges thatlife sometimes puts infront of us. We can fully

achieve anything we wantto when we put our hearts,spirits and minds to it.Robert Davidoff along

with his son Kennethhave been great writingtalent inspirations to me.So has Senator TedKennedy along with histwo sons Patrick andTed, Jr. They all believedin me just like my parentsdid and they all gave methe extra push that Ineeded to see things forwhat they really were.

The same goes for myother friend AdrienneKing of Oregon. She toomeans just as much to me.If it weren't for all of them,today I wouldn't be work-ing on my book projecttitled, 'The Camp CrystalLake Diaries : An Explo-ration Into Friday The13th.' My hopes anddreams are alive and well.So are many other Ameri-cans' hopes and dreams.We can never let go of thegreat spirit within us aboutPresident Kennedy. He

gave everyone who knewhim the confidence,courage, and the wisdomto press forward andachieve progress in theirlives.One of President

Kennedy's most famousquotes was stated at his1961 Presidential Inaugu-ration when he said, Asknot what your country cando for you ; Ask what youcan do for your country.The words I'd like to alsoleave people with are the

words of what I believeSenator Ted Kennedymight have said if he werestill alive today. With thatsaid, Senator Kennedy'smessage to the our nationwould have been this :The work goes on, thecause endures, the hopestill lives, and the dreamshall never die !!God Bless America.

certified appliances andelectronics. They usemuch less energy andwater than standardmodels.For example, a new

Amana dishwasher uses35 percent less energyand 62 percent lesswater than older,conventional dishwash-ers. It has a heated dryfunction that whisksaway moisture, dryingdishes thoroughly andsaving you time. ItsTriple Filter washsystem means theres noneed to pre-rinse yourdishes: The three filtersremove food particles soyou conserve energy andwater and still get dishes

Turkey - Carving Tips: Step 1: Be sure to use

a good, sharp knife.Sharp knives are notonly safer, they will helpyou smoothly cut thin,even slices withoutshredding the meat.Fortunately, you donthave to be an expert to

put a razor-sharp edgeon your knife.

turkey is cooked (meatthermometer should read180185 F wheninserted in the thickest

part of the turkey), cool

the bird for 15 minutes.Cooling makes the meatfirmer and easier toslice. Remove and setaside the turkey legs andthe last joint of eachwing. Make a long, deep(to the bone) horizontalbase cut into the breast

just above the wing. Step 3: Slice down
