    Owner Dennis Coyle of

    DC Landscape Design

    LLC based out of

    Pequannock Township donates toPequannock. I grew up In

    Pequannock Township. I have

    multiple clients in Pequannock

    and Pompton Plains. I thought it

    would only be right to give back a

    little to the community that has

    given so much to me. I spent

    many days of my youth at PV

    Park. It is a great lake and I have

    many great memories there. I

    spoke with town officials and

    they gave me the green light todonate a garden and a tree to the

    Park.

    The garden DC Landscape

    installed is directly in front of the

    PV Park sign. The design includes

    some dwarf evergreen

    boxwoods, dwarf foun-

    tain grasses, red knock

    out roses, yellow daylilies, purple saliva, blue

    star juniper and finished

    it off with some black

    dye mulch which really

    makes the flowers and

    plants stand out. The

    tree I decided to donate

    was a Purple Leaf

    Thunder Cloud Plum. It

    is one of my favorite

    trees. They have small

    pink flowers in springand then, throughout

    the summer until fall,

    the foliage of the plant

    offers a beautiful bur-

    gundy color. The tree

    does not get huge and does not

    make a mess in fall. There are

    only a handful of trees that have

    nice burgundy foliage throughout

    Do you think its a

    requirement to be-come a millionaire

    in your lifetime? Is it a nice

    thought, perhaps for some-

    one else, or not even a

    thought at all? Were you

    alive when the average house

    in our North Jersey area cost

    around $80,000 in 1978,

    when $1,000,000.00 was

    really a cool million? And

    now, what is a cool million

    dollars worth? Does it still goas far; spend the same or feel

    as good when compared to

    the late 70s considering

    nominal bank CD rates were

    over 10% and for a brief peri-

    od as high as 18%? A

    $1,000,000 CD would gener-

    ate $180,000 in annual inter-

    est, in other words, you could

    live on that. Today, the same

    $1,000,000 CD from the

    same bank pays .35% or$3,500 in annual interest and

    that is before we calculate

    todays inflated cost of goods

    and services when compared

    to the 1970s.

    Please imagine a slice of

    pizza or my newest measure

    of inflation, a bagel. When I

    was 7 years of age, a slice of

    pizza cost a quarter and a

    bagel cost a dime. This week

    I purchased a dozen bagels for$12 and two slices of pizza

    cost more than $4.00! My

    children have asked me why

    we even use change anymore

    since basically nothing costs

    less than a dollar. You know,

    theyre right and inflation

    isnt slowing down stopping

    or going away, quite the con-

    trary, in this columnists

    opinion, inflation is poised to

    skyrocket! What I am sayingis that accumulating a $1

    plus million retirement port-

    folio is no longer a nice

    thought or optional, its adownright mandatory neces-

    sity - Period!

    Last month one of my

    columns was entitled, Is a

    College Education Worth

    the Cost? Is it worth losing

    at least 4 years of momentum

    in the workforce building

    your career while accumulat-

    ing a 6 figure school loan

    debt, not to mention a guar-

    antee of a job upon gradua-

    tion? I wrote, Its a Dogs

    Life for Me, comparing the

    wonderful life my dog leads

    to the perfect retirement life.

    Another column was titledWants vs. Needs the

    American Struggle, where

    no one actually needs a new

    Bentley motorcar. Today, I

    am writing about financial

    preparedness, that without

    exception must be planned

    for and executed or suffer a

    retirement of sacrifice, disap-

    pointment or worse, no

    retirement at all. There was

    once a joke that asked, Howdo you spell retirement? The

    answer was D.E.A.T.H.

    Unfortunately, for some peo-

    ple born after 1985 thisjoke will more than likely

    be their reality. The rules of

    the money game including

    wealth accumulation, inter-

    generational wealth transfer

    and debt avoidance must be

    mastered and plans for a

    joint-life guaranteed retire-

    ment income must be in

    place so the surviving spouse

    will not run out of money

    before running out of life.

    Lets see what the

    future holds is a phrase tan-

    tamount to complacency and

    denial. We must be proac-

    tive, decisive, actionaryand reactionary to world

    events including that of our

    own government that shape

    our individual and familys

    financial future. The finan-

    cial section of the newspaper

    can no longer be used to line

    the bird cage or as the dogs

    wee wee pad, until after it is

    read and digested by all who

    live under the family roof.

    Tough economic times willbe upon us again and the fed-

    eral government lacks the

    financial might and world

    respect to save us this time.We have come to the rescue

    of other failing nations

    throughout history and how

    many of those nations would

    or could come to the aid of

    the United States of

    America? Bottom line is it

    really doesnt matter, because

    the problem of our national

    debt and total federal finan-

    cial obligations due to con-

    tinued congressional compla-

    cency, have gotten too far

    out of control where no

    nation on earth possesses the

    financial might to render any

    aid or bailout.Its truly out of control

    with no leadership from any

    branch in power to overcome

    this adversity and travesty. I

    am concerned for the chil-

    dren of today as the govern-

    ment has forsaken them by

    refusing to acknowledge and

    correct decades of reckless

    spending without regard to

    balancing expenses with rev-

    enue. The government can-not continue to raise taxes

    on the 50% of Americans

    that pay tax while increasing

    those that are dependent ongovernment provided in-

    come, health care and hous-

    ing benefits. How many

    more examples do we need?

    History is littered full of

    failed governments, political

    experiments run amok and

    Robin Hood economic les-

    sons for the United States

    government to behave the

    way it has, increasing the

    debt ceiling every budgetyear to this incomprehensi-

    ble level. How, as a family

    unit, can you react and pro-

    tect yourself from our failed

    domestic economic prob-

    lems? Ill tell you: work more,

    earn more, save more, invest

    more and spend less, all the

    things your government

    refuses to do. Living above

    ones means, keeping up with

    the Joness, entitlementvacations and new cars are

    out! Frugality, Budgeting and

    Necessities only, are in! The

    penalty for non-compliance

    will be severe and what are

    the consequences if I am

    wrong about future inflation?

    Youll have a fortune more

    money invested a rosy future

    and leave a major legacy!

    But, if Im right, and you are

    prepared, youll be able toprosper through your very

    last day with food on the

    table, a roof over your head

    and cash to pay for health

    care. This is too serious a

    subject to put-off or poo poo.

    The Federal Reserve has

    already indicated interest

    rates will rise in the latter

    half of 2015 and with that

    the resurgence of inflation.

    Remember the bagel andpizza prices of your childhood

    vs today and just think about

    them for a moment. Now,

    project what they will cost in

    ten years, in twenty and if

    you will be able to pick upthe tab when the kids and

    grandkids come over. My

    advice, get together with a

    competent financial advisor

    today to design a tax-advan-

    taged savings/investment and

    income producing program

    to protect and provide for

    your future financial require-

    ments ASAP!

    Fathers Day has been

    celebrated in one form

    or another since the

    beginning of the nineteenth

    century. Perhaps the mostdriving force behind Fathers

    Day was Senora Dodd, who

    thought of the idea of a day

    to honor fathers while listen-

    ing to a Mothers Day sermon

    in 1909. Having been raised

    by her father, Dodd wanted

    to honor the sacrifices that

    fathers make. Fathers Day

    was not formally considered a

    holiday until 1972, when a

    Congressional Act officiallydesignated the third Sunday

    in June Fathers Day.

    Families celebrate Fathers

    Day in many ways. This year

    Fathers Day falls on Sunday,

    June 15. Dads who are history

    buffs may want to celebrate

    this years holiday by remi-

    niscing about the notable

    events that have occurred on

    June 15 through the years.

    Here are just some of themany historical events that

    took place on June 15.

    forms his famous kite-flying

    experiment to test the elec-

    trical power of lightning. 1775: George Washington

    Chief of the American Army.

    1878: The first attempt at a

    motion picture takes place.

    Twelve cameras, each takingone picture, focus on horses

    hooves to see if they will

    leave the ground.

    1887: The New York Giants

    baseball team beats the

    Philadelphia Phillies 29 -1.

    1916: The Boy Scouts ofAmerica receives its congres-

    sional charter.

    Mountains National Park is

    German forces as Nazi troopsoccupy the city of Paris.

    Afather who is afraid to

    go the dentist is likely

    to pass on his fear to

    his children, according to

    researchers at Rey Juan

    Carolos University in Madrid,

    Spain. The International

    Journal of Pediatric Dentistry

    published a study where 183Madrid children from 7-15

    years old, as well as their par-

    ents, rated the level of fear to

    dentistry in an anonymous

    questionnaire.

    The data showed that

    mothers reported the highest

    levels of dental fear and the

    researchers concluded that the

    greater dental fear is for one

    family member, the greater it

    would be for the other family

    members. They also concluded

    that the fathers feelings aboutgoing to the dentist play a huge

    role in whether a mothers fear

    of the dentist will be passed to

    their children.

    Children seem to pay

    attention to the emotional

    reactions of their fathers, if

    going to the dentist will be

    stressful, said Professor

    America Lara-Sacido.

    The results point to a

    need for dentists to reducefathers dental fears by giving

    them accurate information on

    dentistry, teaching simple

    relaxation techniques, or

    addressing negative thoughts

    to prevent passing dental fears

    on to their children. The workwith the parents is key and

    teaches them to be relaxed as a

    way of directly influencing

    their kids.

    What would summer

    be without days

    spent frolicking at

    the beach or afternoons spent

    splashing in the pool? Fun in

    the water makes hot days more

    enjoyable and bearable, and few

    summertime activities do not

    involve water play in one aspector another.

    Although time spent in

    the water can be refreshing and

    entertaining, water does present

    certain hazards, particularly for

    those who do not know how to

    swim. Learning to swim, espe-

    cially at a young age, is advis-

    able and a great way to remain

    safe around the water.

    The World Health

    Organization says drowning is

    the third leading cause of unin-

    tentional injury death across

    the globe, accounting for 7 per-

    cent of all injury-related deaths.

    Children, males and individuals

    with increased access to water

    are most at risk of drowning. In

    general, children under five

    years of age have the highest

    drowning mortality rates in the

    world, though adult males in

    Canada and New Zealand

    drown at higher rates than chil-

    dren.

    According to the

    American Academy of

    Pediatrics, parents should con-

    sider swimming lessons for most

    children between the ages of

    one and four. New research has

    revealed that swimming

    instruction for children

    between the ages of one and

    four may decrease drowning

    risk. However, parents should

    be advised that swimming les-

    sons do not remove all risk.

    Children still need constant

    supervision when in and around

    water. Additionally, learning

    CPR can be a life-saving meas-

    ure.

    When enrolling children

    in swim lessons, parents should

    look for safety-certified instruc-

    tors who have first aid and

    resuscitation training and certi-

    fication. Many programs offered

    are sponsored by the American

    Red Cross or the YMCA.

    Private swim clubs may have

    their own instructors.

    Children between the ages

    of one and three typically do

    not have the motor coordina-

    tion to swim effectively. These

    children can benefit from swim

    lessons that emphasize getting

    used to the water, safety and

    learning some swimming readi-

    ness skills. Instruction may

    involve teaching children how

    to move their legs and arms and

    strengthen muscles used for

    swimming. Children between

    the ages of four and five may be

    more developmentally ready for

    swimming. Such youngsters

    may move from water-safety les-

    sons to actual swimming with

    or without support. A study

    titled Childrens readiness for

    learning front crawl swimming

    published in The Australian

    Journal of Science and

    Medicine in Sport showed that

    whether kids started lessons at

    two, three or four years of age,

    they learned to swim well at

    approximately the same mean

    age of five and a half years.

    In addition to swimming

    lessons, parents and other

    adults can ensure water safety

    by taking the following precau-

    tionary measures:

    Children should never be left

    unattended in the water. It takes

    mere inches of water for a young-

    ster to drown.

    In the pool or another body of

    water, caregivers should be within

    touching distance of young swim-

    mers to provide help if needed,

    even if the child is wearing a floata-

    tion device.

    Keep rescue equipment by the

    pool.

    Remove toys from the pool

    when its not in use. These toys

    can attract children who will go

    in after them.

    A fence around the perimeter of

    the yard may be mandatory, but a

    fence around the pool itself is

    another safety barrier to consider.

    The fence should feature a self-

    latching gate.

    Even adults should be watched

    while swimming. It is always a

    safe idea to swim with a buddy, so

    that the other person can get help if

    something goes wrong.

    So, be safe this summer.

    The Fourth of July has

    been a federal holiday

    since 1941. Though

    that may seem like a long time for

    the country to wait to celebrate

    the independence it declared in

    1776, the tradition of the Fourth

    of July, often referred to as

    Independence Day, dates back to

    the dawn of the American

    Revolution and the adoption of

    the Declaration of Independence

    on July 4, 1776. Since then, July

    4th has been recognized as the

    dawn of American independ-

    ence, and celebrations that

    included fireworks and parades

    can be traced back to the 18th

    century. On July 4, 1777, the

    city of Philadelphia, which would

    become the first capital of the

    United States of America, held

    the first annual commemoration

    of American independence, and

    exactly one year later George

    Washington ordered that all of his

    soldiers be offered double rations

    of rum to commemorate

    the anniversary. In 1781,

    Massachusetts was the first state

    to make July 4th an official state

    holiday, and the day was actually

    declared a federalholiday by the

    U.S. Congress in 1870.

    However, that declaration did

    not grant a paid holiday to feder-

    al employees. That benefit came

    in 1941, which is why that year

    is now recognized as the first year

    when the Fourth of July officially

    became a federal holiday.

    D

    ad gets to be king of

    his castle at least one

    day during the year.

    Come mid-June, children

    near and far scramble for

    ideas to treat their fathers to

    a special day and award him

    with gifts for being a role

    model, provider and confi-

    dante. Fathers Day activities

    should be centered around

    Dads interests. With that in

    mind, the following are some

    ideas to honor Dad or anoth-

    er special man in your life.

    Sports Sunday: If Dad is a

    sports fan, his idea of spend-

    ing a fun-filled afternoon

    very well may be cheering on

    his favorite players. Whether

    your father enjoys golf, ten-

    nis, baseball, soccer, or

    another sport like hunting or

    fishing, chances are there is a

    television broadcast on that

    you can watch together.

    Otherwise, you can surprise

    Dad by purchasing tickets to

    a sporting event and making

    a day of it at the ballpark.

    Beach bound: A relaxing

    day at the beach may be the

    perfect way to spend Fathers

    Day. Dad can enjoy the

    entire family while sitting

    back in his beach chair and

    watching the waves roll in.

    Pack a picnic lunch with his

    favorite foods and a cold

    beer, and Dad may just say

    this was his best celebration

    yet.

    Adventure seeker: If yours

    is a father who enjoys living

    on the edge, a Fathers Day

    activity built around action

    and adventure should be a

    winner. Take Dad base jump-

    ing, rock climbing, scuba div-

    ing, or race car driving. Any

    of these activities is bound to

    get Dads adrenaline pump-

    ing.

    R&R: Dads idea of the per-

    fect Fathers Day may be an

    afternoon free of obligations

    and deadlines. A relaxing

    day in the yard swimming

    laps in the pool or hitting a

    few grounders to your waiting

    baseball mitt may be all the

    excitement he needs. Toss a

    few steaks on the grill to give

    Fathers Day a truly perfect

    ending.

    Impromptu party: Some

    dads like to be the center of

    attention. A Fathers Day

    party thrown in his honor,

    complete with friends and

    family, can be an entertain-

    ing way to spend the day. If

    you are worried about inter-

    rupting others Fathers Day

    plans, host the gathering on

    the Saturday before Fathers

    Day and let Dad be the life of

    the party. Finger foods, bar-

    becue, a limited list of cock-

    tails and other beverages and

    some background music are

    all that you need to host a

    festive function.

    Plan a Fathers Day cele-

    bration with your dad in

    mind. Cater to his favorite

    activities and opt for enter-

    tainment that he will enjoy.

    Summer and the warm

    weather are just about

    here. Its time to get off

    our couches and venture into

    the great outdoors. These

    plans will often include your

    furry, four-legged friends.

    However, dogs and cats can

    suffer from hot weather prob-

    lems similar to those of the

    human- like enduring the

    heat, bugs and allergies. As it

    gets hotter, it is important to

    take some simple precautions

    to keep our pets healthy and

    safe from the hazards that

    accompany summer.

    Heat stroke is a very seri-

    ous and very common occur-

    rence during the summer

    months and results when your

    pets body temperature rises

    above the normal range. Heat

    stroke can be a life-threaten-

    ing disease, can afflict dogs or

    cats quite rapidly and be diffi-

    cult to treat. A little preven-

    tion can go a long way.

    Certain pets may be predis-

    posed to this condition such

    as brachycephalic breeds (i.e.

    pushed in nose) like a Bulldog

    or Persian cat, overweight

    pets, very young and very old

    pets or ill pets. Heat strokes

    occur a lot in late spring and

    early summer because our pets

    are out of shape and are not

    yet acclimated to the hot

    weather. Therefore, introduce

    pets to exercise slowly. Also,

    try to exercise pets in the

    morning or evening when

    temperatures are lower. Be

    sure to provide your pet with

    plenty of breaks for water and

    time to cool down in the

    shade.

    There are many ways to

    avoid heat stroke. The most

    known adage is to never leave

    a pet in the car on warm days.

    Even with the windows open,

    temperatures in a car can rise

    to deadly levels within min-

    utes. Dogs and cats dont

    sweat the same way we do.

    They thermo-regulate mostly

    by panting and can sweat

    minimally through the bot-

    tom of their feet. One of the

    easiest preventative measures

    is to make sure that pets have

    free access to water and shade

    when kept outside.

    Early signs of heat stroke

    may include rapid panting,

    heavy breathing, excessive sali-

    vation, increased body temper-

    ature (i.e. above 100-102

    degrees F), depression, weak-

    ness, and vomiting. If you sus-

    pect that heat stroke is taking

    place, seek immediate veteri-

    nary attention. In the mean-

    time, you should remove the

    animal from the hot area and

    start lowering your pets body

    temperature. This shouldnt be

    done too quickly, which can

    also be dangerous. Therefore

    only use cool water, NO ice.

    An easy remedy is to place cool

    water soaked T-shirt on your

    pet and take them right to your

    veterinarian. Aside from heat

    stroke, more outdoor activities

    mean the risk of outdoor trau-

    mas and increased accidents.

    Some tips include: not leaving

    pets unsupervised around a

    pool, make sure all pets wear

    flotation devices on boats, and

    try not to let your dog drink

    pool water, which contains

    chemicals that could cause

    stomach upset.

    Cats that are allowed

    outdoors also venture out

    more in the summer. Be on

    the lookout for abscesses and

    other fighting injuries. Cats

    that are neutered or spayed

    may be at a lower risk of such

    injuries as they are unlikely to

    be involved in mating-

    induced aggression. The best

    way to avoid these injuries is

    to keep your cat indoors.

    The warmer months also

    means more bugs. Fleas are a

    common pest that live off the

    blood of their hosts and can

    cause itching, or worse, an

    allergic reaction called flea-

    bite dermatitis. Fleas can also

    be carriers for an intestinal

    parasite called tapeworms.

    Mosquitoes are another pest

    that may carry heartworms,

    which can be life threatening

    to your dog and cat. More

    trips to the dog park can also

    increase exposure to infected

    soil and intestinal parasites,

    some of which are transmissi-

    ble to people (zoonotic). In

    North Jersey, we cant forget

    about ticks that can carry a

    variety of diseases, most

    notably Lyme disease.

    Preventatives for fleas, ticks,

    heartworms and intestinal

    parasites are available from

    your veterinarian and should

    be given year-round. The ben-

    efits of prevention far out-

    weigh the nuisance and health

    hazards for your pet and to us

    as well.

    Another summer risk for

    cats that live in apartment

    buildings or in homes with a

    second floor is high-rise syn-

    drome. This is the unfortunate

    scenario of us wanting to open

    windows in the nice weather

    and cats falling out of them.

    Cats dont deliberately jump

    out of windows but can fall if

    screens arent properly secured

    or if they are focused on an

    insect or bird and become dis-

    tracted. Cats can be seriously

    injured even if they fall even

    from a short distance. This

    syndrome is 100 percent pre-

    ventable by having secure

    screens or enclosures for our

    windows.

    With some simple pre-

    vention our pets can enjoy

    this summer as much as we do.

    Fertilizing a lawn is a

    springtime tradition for

    many homeowners.

    Winter can take its toll on a

    lawn, but fertilizer can go a

    long way toward helping a lawn

    recover from harsh weather.

    While lawn-and-gar-

    den enthusiasts might

    know the ins and outs

    of fertilizing a lawn,

    novices might need a

    little help as they look

    to restore their lawns.

    Find out what your

    lawn needs. Even

    novice green thumbs

    likely know that over

    fertilization can harm

    a lawn, and thats a

    big reason many

    homeowners approach fertiliz-

    ing their lawn with some trepi-

    dation. A lush lawn adds to the

    curb appeal of a home, while a

    lawn thats patchy or appears to

    be poorly taken care of can

    lower property value. Before

    fertilizing a lawn, homeowners

    should determine the needs of

    their lawns. A soil test can

    determine if the lawn has any

    nutrient deficiencies.

    Dont overdo it with nitrogen.

    Fertilizing with too much nitro-

    gen is a common mistake, as

    too much nitrogen can be

    harmful, decreasing root

    growth and increasing a lawns

    susceptibility to disease. A

    slow-release fertilizer may be an

    option, as such fertilizers break

    down nutrients over a longer

    period of time, which also

    allows homeowners to extend

    the intervals between fertilizing

    sessions. But a lawn can get

    nitrogen from other sources as

    well. Such sources include grass

    clippings or raked leaves left on

    the lawn after being shredded

    by a mulching mower.

    Consider using granules

    instead of spray. Spraying a

    lawn with fertilizer might

    seem like the easiest and

    quickest way to fertilize, but

    spraying is typically best left to

    the professionals. Thats

    because novices often struggle

    to evenly apply the fertilizer

    when spraying, and many do

    not account for the wind

    when spraying fertilizer. A tra-

    ditional spreader that fertilizes

    a lawn with granules makes it

    easier for nonprofessionals to

    apply the fertilizer accurately

    and evenly. Before fertilizing

    with granules, read the pack-

    age to determine if you need

    to water the lawn before appli-

    cation, as some fer-

    tilizers are only effec-

    tive when applied to

    a lawn after it has

    been watered. Also,

    be sure to fill the

    spreader over asphalt

    instead of over the

    lawn. Chances are

    youre going to spill

    granules when filling

    the spreader and

    such spills can be

    harmful to the lawn.

    Plan to fertilize several times.

    Some homeowners only fertil-

    ize twice a year, once in the

    spring and then once again in

    the fall. But fertilizer should

    be applied multiple times

    throughout the year, beginning

    in the early spring. The first

    time to fertilize is when the soil

    temperature reaches roughly

    55 F, which is often evident

    because grass typically starts to

    grow again when the soil

    reaches that temperature.

    Fertilize again roughly a month

    after fertilizer is first applied,

    and then every six to eight

    weeks after through October.

    Professionals often recommend

    using an organic material dur-

    ing the third fertilizing session.

    the spring, summer and fall

    months and this is one of

    them. All in all, its a pretty

    maintenance free tree.

    You can help give back

    too! In remembrance of

    Memorial Day DC Landscape

    Design LLC will donate 15%

    of the total labor on any

    installation in the month of

    June to Wounded Warriors

    Project. I think this a great

    way that all of the communi-

    ties that DC Landscape

    Design serves can help give

    back too. People can feel good

    about hiring a professional

    landscape design and installa-

    tion company that will actual-

    ly give back to the men and

    women that help defend our

    country.

    Dennis ended by saying,

    Giving feels great especially

    when its something you can

    see grow year after year.

    On the heels

    of a reces-

    sion that saw

    home values drop,

    many would-be

    investors have shied

    away from buying

    investment proper-

    ties. But real estate

    has historically

    remained a sound

    investment, boasting

    a long-term apprecia-

    tion rate that makes it a worth-

    while investment for those who

    can withstand temporary set-

    backs in housing prices and

    hold on to their properties over

    the long haul.

    But investors are often

    nervous as they look for their

    first properties. Uncertainty

    about housing prices aside,

    investing in real estate

    is also risky, and first-

    time investors need to

    be comfortable with

    such risk in order to

    make the most of their

    investments. The fol-

    lowing are a few

    things potential real

    estate investors should

    consider as they

    decide if investing in

    real estate is right for

    them.

    Personal ability

    Real estate investors typi-

    cally have tenants, and those

    tenants inevitably have needs.

    Investors who have experience

    as contractors may not find it

    difficult to renovate a property

    and make it more attractive to

    tenants, nor are they likely to

    be inconvenienced when

    minor issues on the property

    need to be addressed. Investors

    with no such experience will

    need to hire contractors to do

    the work for them, cutting into

    potential profits down the road.

    In addition, investors who

    dont have the ability and/or

    the time to address minor issues

    like a clogged drain or a drafty

    window on their own will need

    to hire a property management

    firm to tend to such needs.Such firms are effective, but

    also expensive, further cutting

    into your profits.

    Even those investors with

    contracting experience may

    have little or no knowledge of

    how the leasing process works,

    forcing them to rely on a real

    estate firm to write up leases

    and ensure all leases stay cur-

    rent. This, too, can cut into an

    investors profits. Investors whodont bring any relevant expert-

    ise to the table can still make a

    profit from their real estate

    investments, but those profits

    likely wont be as significant

    when outside companies must

    be hired to ensure the property

    is in good shape and all neces-

    sary documents are in order and

    up-to-date.

    Time

    Real estate is often atime-consuming investment.

    Tenants pay good money to live

    in attractive rental properties,

    and those tenants will have ahost of needs that must be met.

    Investors must be sure they

    have the time to address their

    tenants concerns, especially

    investors with no plans to hire

    property management firms.

    Potential investors who already

    have full plates at work and at

    home may not be able to

    devote the time necessary to

    make the most of their real

    estate investments, and there-fore might be better off finding

    another way to invest their

    money.

    Time also must be consid-

    ered when considering profits.

    Real estate is not the type of

    investment that turns a profit

    overnight. Even investors who

    are looking to invest in an up-

    and-coming neighborhood

    must be prepared to hold onto

    their properties for at least a few

    Recent improvements

    in the design andengineering of gas

    grills have transformed the art

    of grilling. From searing and

    rotisserie cooking to planking

    and smoking, gas grills now

    provide chefs with several dif-

    ferent grilling techniques to

    develop flavors, textures and

    aromas. With a quality gas

    grill, the right set of features

    and a few key accessories, the

    culinary possibilities for abackyard chef are endless.

    Chef Naz Cavallaro, a

    grilling expert from Broil

    King, shares his must-have

    tools for creating restaurant

    style meals at home, as fol-

    lows:

    Stone Grill Set: Bake restau-

    rant-quality pizza and bread

    with this durable stone grill

    set. Barbecued pizza provides a

    more authentic pie since thehot, dry air in your grill yields

    a much better result than

    preparing it in a conventional

    oven.

    Gourmet Burger Press: It

    makes perfect patties right at

    home. Grill enthusiasts will

    love experimenting with the

    endless menu possibilities this

    burger press provides. Options

    include Greek-style burgers

    stuffed with feta cheese, roast-ed red peppers and olives, and

    Tex-Mex-style burgers stuffed

    with jalapeno and cheddar.

    Wood Chips and Planks:

    Deep smoky flavors and fall-

    off-the-bone tenderness are

    hallmarks of traditional barbe-

    cue cuisine. Create those

    authentic flavors at home

    using wooden planks, smoker

    boxes and flavored wood

    chips. From the pungent fla-vors of hickory and mesquite

    to the sweeter, more delicate

    apple and cherry, several dif-ferent types of chips are avail-

    able and suited to specific cuts

    of meat.

    Roast Rack: A roast that is

    slow-cooked on a grill delivers

    amazing flavor and texture.

    Look for a rack that can

    accommodate a drip pan so

    you can catch all of the juices

    from the food.

    For best results, Chef Naz

    also recommends a gas grilldesigned with these perform-

    ance features: excellent heat

    retention; searing power and

    flavor vaporization at the

    grids; full coverage stainless

    steel flavor wave, or heat

    medium; precise heat control;

    a side burner and a rotisserie

    burner.

    Dracula makes an

    appearance at The

    Rhino Theatre in

    June. This stage adaptation is

    closely based on the original,presenting the frightening

    story that made this a horror

    classic. The story focuses on

    the mysterious Count Dracula

    who has gone to England

    where he lives on a large

    estate next to an insane asy-

    lum run by the incredibly

    naive Dr. Seward. The others

    that make up the cast of this

    thriller include Professor VanHelsing, Renfield, the beauti-

    ful Lucy Westenra and

    Charles. The plot develops

    with all the excitement of the

    original and then, in the end,

    the audience is given the jolt

    of a startling double twist.

    at 8pm and Sundays shows are

    at 2pm. Ticket price is $25 for

    Adults and $23.50 for seniors.Call for tickets at 973-248-

    3 tab honey

    2 tab orange juice

    2 tab Asian chili sauce1 tab Worcestershire sauce

    4 cloves garlic, minced

    1 tab ginger

    Grated zest of an orange

    Salt and pepper

    Directions:

    Preheat the grill to medi-

    um and turn down to low.

    Prepare ribs for grilling by

    removing the membrane from

    the underside of the ribs.

    Prepare several foil envelopes

    and place 2 strips of ribs into

    each envelope, with 1/4 cup of

    water and seal tightly. Cook

    for 2 to 2 hours on low

    (300F) with the lid closed.

    Check the thermometer on

    the front of the grill lid fre-

    quently and adjust the cook-

    ing temperature accordingly.

    This may require turning one

    or two burners off and cookingindirectly.

    To prepare the sauce:

    Combine all ingredients in a

    saucepan and set aside until

    the ribs are ready to remove

    from the foil. Gently heat the

    sauce on the side burner for 10

    to 15 minutes before using.

    Carefully remove the ribs from

    the foil and place on grids.

    Baste generously with sauce,

    and grill for 10 minutes perside, leaving the lid open,

    turning several times, and

    basting with sauce after each

    turn.

    Heat remaining sauce to

    a boil and then allow it to sim-

    mer for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve

    on the side as a dipping sauce.

    years, if not much longer, to

    maximize their investments.Though real estate is a sound

    investment, it is not a get rich

    quick type of investment, so

    investors looking to make a

    quick buck should consider

    alternatives before buying

    investment properties.

    SizeFirst-time real estate

    investors might be wise to

    choose a smaller property for

    their initial investment. Larger

    properties can be overwhelm-

    ing to manage, and investors

    often rely on property manage-

    ment firms to tend to theseproperties. Such firms charge

    more to manage bigger proper-

    ties, which can eat into

    investors finances. Veteran

    investors can handle such

    overhead costs, but first-timers

    might find themselves caught

    off guard upon realizing thegravity of their financial com-

    mitment. A good rule of

    thumb for first-time investors

    is to stick to smaller properties,

    only moving on to larger build-

    ings once they are fully com-

    fortable with all that comes

    with investing in real estate.Costs

    The cost of a real estate

    investment goes beyond the

    purchase price of the home. In

    addition to the mortgage on

    the property, investors must

    pay the taxes and insurance on

    the property, as well as anycosts associated with maintain-

    ing and managing the property.

    Certain tax breaks are avail-

    able to real estate investors

    depending on where they live.

    For example, in the United

    States, taxes on the profits

    when a property is sold may be

    deferred if those profits are

    immediately rolled into anoth-

    er property (such a deferment

    is only available to thoseinvestors who arrange this

    exchange prior to selling the

    initial property). Potential

    investors need to consider all

    of these costs, and might want

    to hire a real estate lawyer to

    help them make the most of

    their investments and any

    profits they yield. But even hir-

    ing an attorney is an addition-

    al cost investors must consider

    before investing.
