There is no denying that

Irish eyes are smiling

come the month of

March. With the widely cele-

brated and festive Saint

Patrick's Day arriving mid-

month, the parades and sham-

rocks might overshadow the fact

that there's more to Irish her-itage than Saint Patrick's Day.

In fact, the entire month of

March is dedicated to Irish-

American heritage.

In 1840, many Irish people

immigrated to North America

to escape the great potato

famine happening in Ireland.

Today almost 40 million people

claim Irish ancestry, and there

are millions of Irish-Americans

making contributions to theUnited States each and every

day, with notable Irish-

Americans in all walks of life.

Here are just a handful of people

of Irish heritage who have made

strides in their respective disci-

plines through the years.

Charles Carroll III: Carroll

was born in Maryland where

there were once laws to prohibit

Catholics from voting, holding

office or worshiping publicly.

Carroll became a Catholic-

rights activist and also served as

a U.S. Senator in the first

Congress. He holds the title as

the only Catholic to havesigned the Declaration of

Independence.

Harry "Bing" Crosby: Crosby

was an acclaimed entertainer

whose contributions are still

valued today, more than three

decades after his death. A singer

and actor, his trademark

smooth, baritone voice helped

catapult Crosby to the list of top

record sellers for the twentieth

century. One of the first peopleto receive three stars on the

Hollywood Walk of Fame,

Crosby also earned an Academy

Award for Best Actor for his role

as Father Chuck O'Malley in

the 1944 motion picture "Going

My Way."

Henry Ford: The American

auto industry can give thanks to

the eviction of John Ford from

Cork in 1847, which enabled

the Ford family to move to the

States shortly after. John's son

Henry became an automobilepioneer and helped pave the

way for the dominance and pop-

ularity of the American car.

John Hughes: Many people say

that Hughes' popular teen

movies documented their own

teenage years. Hughes is best

known for a string of quirky, yet

spot-on depictions of the aver-

age American teenager that

helped start the careers of actors

who would go on to be known as

the "Brat Pack". In the 1990s,

hits like "Home Alone" and"Curly Sue" also resonated with

audiences and helped solidify

Hughes as a leader in family

entertainment. He passed away

in 2009 from a heart attack.

Ron Howard: One of

Hollywood's most successful

Did you ever notice

the little boy on the

soccer field who just

could not quite kick the ball,

tripped over people and had

poor coordination when try-

ing to dribble? Or the little

girl in ballet class who had a

difficult time imitating the

teachers body movements

and sequencing the dance

steps? What about the first

grader on the playground

who constantly barged into

other children and just didnt

seem to see obstacles in frontof him causing him to trip

and fall constantly? Most

people refer to these children

as clumsy, but there may be a

better explanation.

For the last 100 years

poor motor coordination or

clumsiness has been recog-

nized as a problem. Recently,

the term Developmental

Coordination Disorder

(DCD) has been used whenreferring to children with

motor coordination difficul-

ties. This is a fairly common

childhood disorder and is

usually identified in school

age children between the

ages of 6-12. Studies indi-

cate that the prevalence of

DCD is estimated at 8-12%

of all school- aged children

with more boys diagnosed

than girls (2:1). As a result ofthe wide diversity in the

DCD diagnosis, finding its

true cause has been difficult

and is unknown at this time.

Some speculate that DCD

can be caused by an injury

that occurs before or during

the birthing process. Others

say that DCD is a result of

damage on the cellular level.

In order for a child to be

diagnosed with DCD it must

impact on some aspect of his

or her life. These children

often exhibit poor balance,tripping on uneven surfaces,

an awkward running pattern,

dropping items, frequent

tripping and falling, difficul-

ty imitating body positions

and following 2-3 step motor

directions. These motor

problems will affect the

childs ability to complete

motor oriented tasks.

Because of these problems,

children often perform poor-ly in sports demonstrating

slow reaction and movement

times. Since these children

do not feel successful when

participating in sports, they

may feel insecure. This inse-

curity can lead to a more

sedentary lifestyle for the

child thus causing poor mus-

cular strength, decreased

muscle force and ultimately

weight gain. Unfortunately,children with DCD may

experience other difficulties,

besides the physical limita-

tions. These children may

exhibit psychosocial prob-

lems. Because these children

may not excel in one area,

they may seek less socially

desirable types of attention.

They may be the class clown

or act out more often

than the other children.Adolescents with DCD have

been found to have fewer

friends, lower self esteem and

more anxiety than their peers

without DCD.

Historically parents

have been told not to worry

about their childs clumsi-

ness. The child will outgrow

the problem. However, cur-

rent research states that chil-dren do not outgrow clumsi-

ness and without interven-

tion, will not improve.

Motor control processes

are complex and depend on

integrating the sensory, per-

ceptual, cognitive and motor

systems. A skilled Pediatric

Physical Therapist can work

on integrating all of these

systems to assist the child in

working toward age appropri-ate functional goals. By

breaking down components

of a task, practicing each

component repetitively and

translating the new skill into

the childs natural environ-

ment, motor skills can be

greatly improved, confidence

and self assuredness en-

hanced and enthusiasm and

participation in sports and

age appropriate games greatlyincreased. I have worked

with hundreds of children

with symptoms that fall into

this category with excellent

and permanent results that

both parents and children are

greatly pleased with.

Why does my child seem so uncoordinated/awkward?By Gena Livingston


5/28

Do you remember your

first real career job?

Were you bright-eyed

and ready to take on the

world, claim your stake, make

your stand, carve-out your

place in the working world

and create your path to finan-

cial independence? Were you

charged-up, enthused, moti-vated, stimulated and in great

anticipation of your first real

serious paycheck? How did it

feel when the payroll cycle

came to pass and you looked

at the paystub for the first

time to realize the terms:

FICA, FED WITH, SUI,

STATE TAX, ESOP or

UNION DUES or PENSION

CONT or 401k withdrawal

and how that reduced yourgross pay resulting in that

minimal net pay figure? Were

you let down? Did you think

they must have made a mis-

take? How could it be possible

that there are so many and

such severe deductions? Will

I get some of that back at taxreturn time? Did you try to

play with your exemption sta-

tus to increase the net pay?

And from the net pay there

were the constant and never

ending utility bills, car insur-

ance payments, loan pay-

ments, credit card bills, rent

or mortgage payments, car

repairs, food bills and enter-

tainment expenses like dating,

travel and vacations.Did you tell yourself that

retirement is decades away

and that eventually you would

get serious about it when you

could afford to seriously

address it or when you got a

raise or bonus? Were you cor-

rect and did you keep your

promise? Were you relieved

when you found your spouse

and soul mate to share your

lives together and to pool yourresources for the greater good,

including bill paying relief

and the ability to make a seri-

ous consideration to retire-

ment allocations? Did you

allocate serious funds to your

retirement planning and port-

folio at that time? Did yourspouse and working partner

eventually get pregnant and

leave the work force to be a

more involved parent saying

that when the child was old

enough for school she would

re-enter the work force to

allocate serious funding for

retirement planning at that

time? Did it come to pass or

were those great intentions

derailed by the birth of your

second child. By now you hadfound a better job or received

bonuses and raises; did you

carve-out a major percentage

of the raises and bonuses

explicitly for retirement fund-

ing yet?

Were there extracurricu-

lar activities like dance class-

es, music instruction, and

karate lessons, summer camp,

winter skiing or educational

tutoring? These expenses no

doubt cut into funds that oth-erwise would have been

directed to IRAs or other

retirement accumulations.

The kids got older and now

college tuition planning

entered the foray also deriding

the retirement accumulationdesires. Along the way, cost of

Is financial independence an illusion? By Mark Charnet

Scientists have identi-

fied two substances in

licorice used exten-

sively in Chinese traditional

medicine that kills major

bacteria responsible for tooth

decay and gum disease. In a

study, in the Journal of

Natural products, they say

these substances could have a

role in treating and prevent-

ing these afflictions.

The study found that

the compounds Licoricidin

and Licorisoflavan A were

the most effective antibacter-

ial substance. These are

capable of killing two of the

major bacteria responsible for

cavities and three of the bac-

teria that promote gum dis-

ease.

The dried root of the

licorice plant is a common

treatment in Chinese tradi-

tional medicine. Licorice

candy in the U.S. hasreplaced licorice root with

anise oil that tastes similar.

Some day licorice root could

be used to treat or even pre-

vent oral infections.

In a press release from

January 31, 2012, IRS com-

missioner Doug Shulman

announced the results of a

nationwide effort to cut down

on identity theft and refund

fraud. The IRS worked in con-

junction with the Justice

Department's Tax Division and

local U.S. Attorneys' offices to

target more than one hundred

people across twenty-three

states. The sweep resulted in

939 criminal charges against

would-be tax frauds.

In addition to the sweep,

IRS auditors and investigators

visited approximately 150

money-service businesses to

conduct extensive compliance

visits and insure these business-

es aren't engaged in practices

which may facilitate refund

fraud and identity theft.

Taxpayer identity theft

normally occurs when a thief

uses a legitimate taxpayer's

identity to falsely file a tax

return and claim a refund. A

victim of identity theft is rarely

aware their identity has been

stolen until he or she attempts

to file a legitimate return later

in the tax season and discovers

that another return has already

been filed using their Social

Security Number.

If you receive an IRS noti-

fication for any of the following

reasons, you should take imme-

diate action:

More than one return was

filed for you in a single tax year

You have a balance due,

refund offset or have had col-

lection actions taken against

you for a year you did not file a

tax return, or

IRS records indicate you

received wages from an

employer unknown to you.

Immediately respond to the

name and number printed on

the letter if you receive such

notification.

The IRS advises you to

minimize your risk of identity

theft by:

Rarely carrying your

Social Security card or docu-

ments with your SSN on them.

Disclosing your SSN only

when required. Many business-

es may ask for your SSN but do

not actually need it. Do not

give out your SSN unless

absolutely necessary.

Protecting your financial infor-

mation, both online and in

print.

Checking your credit

report periodically. You may

check your credit without

charge once a year at

www.equifax.com, www.exper-

ian.com, or www.transunion

.com. By using each of these

services only once each year,

you can actually check your

credit report every four

months.

Protecting your personal

computers using firewalls, anti-

spam and anti-virus software.

Keep your software current via

frequent updates. Use secure

passwords and change them

often.

By taking action against

tax fraud criminals, Comm-

issioner Shulman sends a clear

message to anyone considering

participation in a tax fraud

scheme. He said, "We are

aggressively pursuing cases

across the nation with the

Justice Department, and people

will be going to jail". The IRS

is taking additional steps to

prevent identity theft and

detect fraud by using new iden-

tity-theft screening filters and

placing identity-theft indica-

tors on taxpayer accounts to

track and manage incidents of

identity theft. Despite these

advances, you should always be

vigilant in protecting your

Social Security number and

financial information.

How common is a

headache? Accor-

ding to recent scien-

tific studies, it is becoming

alarmingly common!

Research from Finland

shows the incidence of

both general and migraine

headache in children

increased markedly between

1974 and 1992. Using the

same methodology and school

environments in both studies,

researchers found in 1974

about 14% of a large sample

of 7-year old children suffered

from headache and less than

2% from migraine. In 1992

these figures leaped almost

four-fold to 52% for headache

and 6% for migraine.

American researchers,

using national statistics,

reported the prevalence for

migraine in the adult popula-

tion increased about 60%

from 1980 to 1989. The high-

est increase was found in

women younger than 45

years. A third study, also from

the United States, revealed a

sharp increase of migraine

between 1979 and 1991 in

persons under 45 years, a

jump of 34% in women and

nearly 100% in men.

Several theories have

been suggested to help

explain these startling statis-

tics. Increased stress in our

lives, both for adults and chil-

dren, is one of the more com-

mon. This theory lacks credi-

bility, however, as many

authorities agree the factors

that contribute to stress have

not changed significantly

over the past decades. More

likely the dramatic increase in

headache is multifactoral:

diet, fitness level, rest, pollu-

tion and allergy, time spent

sitting at desks, computer

screens and watching televi-

sion and, yes, stress.

Perhaps the single most

important factor may be pos-

ture. Simply put, we slouch

more. Research is now show-

ing posture affects not only

muscle and joint function,

but also function of the nerv-

ous system. We are learning

that the static (postural,

structural) and dynamic

(mechanical, functional)

state of our necks has a pro-

found relationship to

headache, both general and

migraine. Fortunately, pos-

ture, like diet, fitness, sleep

and time spent sitting, is

something we can change.

If you would like more

information about the rela-

tionship between posture and

headache, ask your chiroprac-

tor.

Increasing prevalence

of headache By Dr. Glenn Foss



12/28

In the last article we learned

that dogs become senior cit-

izens just like people. The

same is true for our feline fami-

ly members. As veterinary

medicine advances, our cats are

living longer, and certain

changes are expected as our

cats age. These dont have to

be negative changes. We can

help them adapt with minimal

effort by diagnosing problems

early, modifying the cat's envi-

ronment, diet and interaction

with us.

Age itself is not a disease

but the following are issues that

are more common in our senior

cats. Addressing these changes

and diagnosing diseases early

are essential to the health of

your older cat. Preventative

veterinary care can add years

and quality to the life of your

cat, which can include early

detection blood work and com-

plete veterinary exams every 6

months for our senior pets.

Arthritis is one of the

most under diagnosed diseases

in older cats. The changes are

very subtle and older cats are

more sedentary which makes it

very difficult to observe if

theyre having joint pain.

What you may see is difficulty

jumping onto counters, win-

dow sills or going up and down

stairs. This may lead to other

problems like not using the lit-

ter box, especially

if they have to

travel up or down

stairs to get to it

or if the litter box

has high sides.

Cats are sensitive

to many anti-

in f l ammatory

medications such

as aspirin and

acetaminophen.

Do NOT give

your cat an anti-inflammatory

or pain relief medication unless

prescribed by your veterinari-

an. A very safe and effective

supplement to start them on is

glucosamine and chondroitin

(as prescribed from your veteri-

narian). Also make sure their

litter box and bowls are on the

same level of the house where

they spend most of their time.

Obesity is one of the main

health problems of middle age

cats. This should be addressed

early because, as a senior, it can

predispose them to diseases like

diabetes and heart disease or

just make other issues worse

like arthritis. Its harder to get

the weight off a senior cat, so

do it now by measuring the

food given, not just keeping the

bowl full and by increasing

their exercise.A veterinarian

can help you monitor their

weight and body condition and

adjust the diet accordingly.

Dental disease is one of

the most common changes we

see in senior citizen cats. By the

age of four, more than 70 per-

cent of cats exhibit signs of

dental disease. Preventative

dental care including tooth

brushing, dental treats, regular

dental checkups, and profes-

sional cleaning as needed are

aimed at keeping dental disease

to a minimum.

Without proper

dental care, signif-

icant dental dis-

ease can develop

which could lead

to pain and life-

threatening com-

plications.

Older cats

may need to be

groomed more

often. Grooming

is a great way for you to spend

enjoyable time with your older

cat and is a means to check for

any lumps, bumps, sores,

etc. In an older cat, the fur may

become thinner or duller; how-

ever, this can also be a sign of

disease or nutritional deficien-

cy. If your cats coat changes

significantly, you should con-

sult with a veterinarian.

A n o t h e r

change to closely

monitor for is

increased thirst

or urination. This

may be the earli-

est sign seen in

older cats for

many diseases,

most commonly,

kidney insufficiency, diabetes

mellitus and hyperthy-

roidism. These diseases can be

detected even earlier with early

detection/wellness blood work

which can be performed at your

cats 6 or 12 month exams.

Many diseases tested for with

this type of panel are simply

and effectively treatable with-

out putting the cat through a

lot. By finding disease process-

es early, oftentimes there is a

better prognosis for a longer

and happier life.

Our senior cats need to

be monitored more closely.

Knowing what changes to

expect and what to look for can

help you and your cat adjust

when and if they do come.

Dont disregard any changes as

'just being old age.' These could

be early signs of a more serious

disease. Always consult your

veterinarian if you are in doubt

or notice changes. We owe it

to our longtime companions to

take care of them in their sen-

ior years as much as we did

when they were kittens.

Your Adrenals are

endocrine glands that

sit right above your kid-

neys and are responsible for

releasing hormones, mainly in

response to stress.

Adrenal Fatigue is simply

tired adrenals. And when your

adrenals are tired, well so are

you! The hormones that the

adrenal produces pretty much

regulate all the functions of

your body, for example your

thyroid and sex hormones. But

what stands out is they produce

hormones that influence your

ability to metabolize fat, regu-

late blood sugar and deal with

stress.

In todays world our daily

lives put a demand on your

adrenal system far beyond what

they can produce. So the

symptoms you are feeling are

exactly whats happening to

your adrenals. If you feel great,

you know your adrenals are

working properly!

We all experience normal

"stress factors" in our lives. But

they are the continual little

things that are a wakeup call

that we need to take care of our

adrenals and give them a little

tender loving care before they

give up on us.

What causes Adrenal

Fatigue?

There are numerous reasons

your adrenal glands go into

overdrive and get tired, but the

common denominator is stress.

Taking steps to reduce stress in

your life is the Golden Ticket

to Healthy living and adrenal

restoration.

What are the symptoms of

Adrenal Fatigue?

Remember Adrenal Fatigue

does just what it says. Makes

you fatigued. But there are

other symptoms as well.

-Anxiety attacks

-Feeling tired all the time or

very frequently

-Weight gain specifically ar-

ound the belly

-Tough time getting or staying

asleep

What can be done about

Adrenal Fatigue?

Taking the right supplements

in addition to eating a whole

foods diet is the first step to

adrenal repair and very impor-

tant.

Here are some that aid in

adrenal support:

Vitamin C is essential to the

production of adrenal glands

and its hormones, and is used

up very quickly by the body

when it is under stress. It also

plays an important role in the

bodys ability to burn fat.

Magnesium There is almost

always a deficiency when

you have adrenal fatigue.

Magnesium at bedtime will

help you relax and sleep better.

GABA, while not directly

affecting your adrenal glands,

can be a valuable part of your

adrenal fatigue recovery. This

amino acid helps to reduce

anxiety and relax mentally and

Many parents can

attest to the chal-

lenges in encour-

aging children to eat health-

ily, including incorporating

plenty of fruits and vegeta-

bles into their daily diets.

Children tend to

become picky eaters for a

number of reasons, according

to the UCSF Benioff

Children's Hospital. Some

children are just naturally

more sensitive to taste, tex-

ture and smell of some foods.

Others may learn their picky

eating from parents who pick

and choose among their

meals. Still other children

learn to be selective through

bribes and punishments

around mealtime.

However, there needn't

been fussing and feuding over

food choices -- particularly

produce -- when parents

employ a few creative ideas

to entice children to dig into

healthy foods.

1.Ask for your child's help:

Have your child ride along to

the grocery store and take an

active role into picking out

healthy foods that he or she

may be willing to try. Most

nutrition experts find that if

children take an interest in

what they will be eating, and

are instrumental in making

some choices, they will have

a higher rate of eating those

meals and foods.

2.Understand your child's

eating habits: Some children

will eat the crown of broccoli

but leave aside the stems.

There are kids that will eat

anything as long as it's

dunked in ketchup. They

may enjoy pears as long as

they are cut up into pieces

with the skin removed. Pay

attention to how your child

likes to eat the food and pres-

ent it that way. It could mean

fewer arguments at the din-

Make fruits fun for kids

Add a fun twist to a favorite fruit.

Homeowners often look

to make improve-

to advance aesthetics, save

money or make their homes

more energy efficient. What

they may not know is that cer-

tain home improvements may

qualify them for manufacturer

or energy supplier rebates and

even federal tax credits that

can help a person save even

more.

Not all products are eligi-

ble each year, so it's beneficial

to know what tax incentives

are out there regarding home

retrofits. Here are some pro-

grams to keep in mind.

U.S. residents who made

home improvements in 2011

may be eligible for tax credits

when filing a 2011 tax return.

Installation and replacement of

biomass stoves, HVAC systems,

insulation, metal and asphalt

Pequannock UNICO pres-

ents a one day trip on Tuesday,

April 17, 2012, to the Best

Western Inn at Hunts

Landing, Matamoras, PA for a

Whether the kids

have all grown up

and moved out or

if the kids are on the way and

it's time to expand a living

area, building a new home is

an exciting, yet often agoniz-

ing, experience. The reasons

for building a new home are

many, but regardless of the rea-

son, the process of choosing a

builder should remain the

same.

Andrew Nadalin, presi-

dent of Pace 2000 Inc. and a

fourth generation builder and

craftsmen, offers the following

advice to prospective home-

owners with their eyes set on

building a dream home to call

their own.

Look for a builder with a solid

reputation. A builder's reputa-

tion speaks volumes, but it

doesn't have to speak for itself.

That's because a builder who

has spent years providing per-

sonal service, innovative

design and quality workman-

ship will no doubt have a host

of happy former customers

ready and willing to offer their

input. If during the interview

process a builder appears reti-

cent to share his work or expe-

riences with previous cus-

tomers, this should be a red

flag. Reputable builders will beproud of their work and more

than willing to show it off.

Find a builder who is flexi-

ble. You will be paying to build

your home, not the builder's

home. A builder should be

flexible and ready and willing

to meet your needs, no matter

how unique they might be.

Look for a builder who does

more than build. A good

builder should do more than

just build. A builder should

provide a network of qualified

professionals to make the

process go more smoothly. This

network should include real

estate and building consult-

ants, interior designers, archi-

tects and engineers. Such con-

nections can provide peace of

mind and will also illustrate

that a builder is both respected

in the community and is intent

on ensuring your home

becomes the dream home you

envision it to be.

Don't build on the cheap.

Buyers who plan to build their

own home are in the unique

position to ensure their home

is as safe and high-quality as

possible. This isn't always the

case when buying a resale, so

make the most of your oppor-

tunity and use only top-of-the-

line construction materials and

features and choose a builder

with experience in working

with such materials and fea-

tures. Building on the cheap

could prove disastrous in the

not too distant future, so don't

sacrifice on quality when

building a new home.

selecting the right builder is

3.Explore new flavor combi-

nations: Oftentimes mixing

certain flavor combinations

can entice children to eat

foods they may have neverconsidered trying. Just think

about the popularity of fruit

juices mixed with vegetable

purees. Some children have

an inclination toward

favorite flavors or just can

benefit from a little variety,

which can sometimes prove

challenging when produce is

out of season. Try

Grapple(R) brand apples,

which combine the fresh,familiar flavor of Washing-

ton apples with the aroma

and taste of concord grapes.

Through a patented process,

premium Washing-ton State

apples are infused with grape

flavor to create a product

that "Crunches like an

Apple, Tastes like a

Grape(TM)." The health

benefits of Grapples are just

the same as other variety ofapples, and there is no artifi-

cial ingredients added or

genetic altering. The process

of making them does not add

any extra sugar, calories, car-

bohydrates or anything else;

in fact the apple maintains

its natural supply of vitamins,

minerals, nutrients, and fiber.

Parents can rest assured that

all ingredients have been

approved by the USDA andthe FDA.

4.Try creative presentations:

Simply presenting the foods

in a unique way can make

them fun to eat. Try making

fruit creations, such as

"snowmen" out of stacked

grapes, or orange and peach

skewers. Children may be

more inclined to drinking

fruit smoothies mixed with

yogurt, or giving foods fun

names, such as banana

bombs, which are just chunks

of banana rolled in honey

and granola. All it may take

is creating a fruit face on a

plate with different fruits

resembling features. Try kiwi

eyes, Grapple slices for a

mouth, a blueberry nose, or

whatever you come up with.

5.Be patient with new foods:

It can take a few attempts

and repeated exposure to get

children to try new foods,says the Mayo Clinic. Serve

new foods along with chil-

dren's favorite foods, like

Grapple slices added to a

peanut butter sandwich.

More information is

available by calling 1-800-

232-2636 or visiting

www.grapplefruits .com and

Facebook at http://www.face-

book.com/Grapplebrandappl

es. Grapple brand apples areavailable in many grocery

stores nationwide from

October through May.

Here are more ideas

about incorporating these

apples in tasty snacks.

Crunch Grapple Slices

Core, cut and slice 2

Grapples, crush 1/2 c of your

favorite cereal like Chex or

Rice Krispies, mix 1 tea-

spoons packed brown sugarand 2 tablespoons peanut

butter together. Spread the

brown sugar and peanut but-

ter onto Grapple slices and

roll in cereal.

Grapple Kabobs

Core, quarter and cube a

Grapple. Slice some cheese

into similarly sized cubes.

Skewer the apples and cheese

alternately on toothpicks,

adding a raisin or other driedfruit. If packing for school

lunch, dip the apples into a

little lemonade first to keep

them from turning brown.

Dried Grapples

You can easily dry your own

apples without any preserva-

tives. Cut a Grapple into 1/4

inch thick slices. Dip them

into a bowl of lemon water or

lemonade. Spread out on a

metal rack and set into awarm oven (180 F) for two or

three hours. Turn off the

oven and let them cool.

Baked Grapples

Place a cored apple in a but-

tered ramekin. Add 1 tea-

spoon of butter, 1 teaspoon of

brown sugar and a 1/4 tea-

spoon of cinnamon into the

center hole. Bake at 350

degrees for about 45 minutes.

Cool for 10 minutes.

20/28

On St. Patrick's Day,

have a little fun in

with a traditional Irish

twist. Whether you're Irish or

not, enjoy the festivities with

some entertainment and food.

Because green is the color

of choice on this festive day,

one of the easiest ways to cele-brate in the Irish style is to

incorporate the color in as

many ways as possible -- even

in food. Course after course and

meal after meal you can add a

hint of green to the foods your

family enjoys. With a little bot-

tle of green food coloring, it's

amazing what you can achieve.

Breakfast Ideas:

Tint milk green, whether in a

glass or in a bowl of cereal.(Serve with "Lucky Charms"

perhaps?)

Channel your inner Dr. Seuss

by turning scrambled eggs into

"green eggs and ham."

Make a green smoothie with

yogurt, juice and a banana,

with a few drops of coloring

added.

Butter toast with green-tinted

butter.Lunch Ideas:

Make pizza or pasta with a

green pesto sauce.

Serve olive loaf instead of

bologna in a sandwich. It has

circles of green olives through-

out.

Make sure kids' juice boxes

are a green-colored variety.

Create a fruit salad with most-

ly green fruits, such as green

grapes, kiwis, honeydew melon,and green apples.

Baked potatoes topped with

green-tinted sour cream and

chives will be a winner.

Dinner Ideas:

A vegetable medley of green

veggies, like spinach, broccoli,

asparagus, and more can be

served as a side dish or mixed as

a casserole.

While corned beef and cab-

bage are traditional Irish dishes,

tint the cabbage green for a lit-tle more flair.

Green food coloring added to

mashed potatoes can liven

mealtime up.

Make homemade Irish soda

Beverages:What would St. Patrick's Day

be without a green glass of

beer? For the kids, tint ginger

ale or a lemon-lime soda green.

Create a green cocktail using

Bailey's Irish Cream liqueur.

Dessert Ideas:

Turn ice cream or milkshakesgreen using mint-flavored ice

cream

Add green sugar sprinkles to

cookies and cakes.

using green M&M candies,

instead of chips.

Fill cream puffs with green-colored cream.

living expenses rose, property

taxes increased, pay raises and

bonuses were less plentiful or

eliminated altogether. Before

you know it 25 years have

passed since that first pay-

check! You sit back and cri-

tique your ambitions, deci-

sions, successes and failures

and more importantly the

account balances and portfo-

lio values. What do I do now

you may ask? Youre about 50

and retirement is looking

more like an illusion rather

than a right! You rationalize

this with the fact that youll

work to age 70, giving you 20

more years to accumulate your

fortune. Perhaps there will be

a small inheritance from

either your parents or hers to

give you a retirement boost,

and if I delay Social Security

that ultimate check will be

bigger anyway! The stock

market hasnt been too friend-

ly to your 401k anyway, or to

your non-qualified portfolio

either. Now will be a great

time to get started you say.

College tuition is firmly upon

you now and the prospects for

future employment with your

current employer or other

companies in your industry

are shaky at best. Your proper-

ty taxes are now 5 times more

than your first home and the

price of a car has quintupled

since your first car purchase.

Lo and behold, you are paying

to insure 4 cars now, yours,

hers and the two kids. Perhaps

youve thought to start a veg-

etable garden to save some

money at the grocery store

which has escalated your food

budget by 300% over the last

25 years. At this point in your

life you fully understand the

erosion factures of inflation.

You begin to calculate the

required nest egg to be able to

generate enough monthly

income for you and your part-

ner to live modestly for the

rest of your natural lives. The

Is financial independence an illusion?

Appearing in his first film in

1956 at just 18 months old,

Howard went on to memo-

rable roles such as Opie on

"The Andy Griffith Show"

and Richie Cunningham on

"Happy Days." While his role

on "Happy Days" made him a

household name, it was

behind the camera where

Howard's career would truly

take off. Howard's directorial

career has produced several

hits, including "Splash,"

"Willow," "Apollo 13," and

"A Beautiful Mind," which

earned him the Academy

Award for Best Director.
