    Royal Lawns of America,

    Inc., has been in busi-

    ness for over 40 years

    and is now in its second gener-

    ation. Michael Miller took

    over the Wayne-based business

    from his father and has contin-

    ued to provide the community

    with the same fine services that

    are in tune with the environ-

    ment.

    The owner-operated,

    owner-on-site business offers

    customers the benefit of paying

    one price for the whole year,

    and there are no special con-

    tracts. As Michael puts it: “My

    work speaks for itself.”

    He treats present prob-

    lems with methods that are

    environmentally friendly. “I’m

    as close to organic as I can be,”

    he said. Among the services are

    aeration, seeding, fertilizing,

    weed control, insect control,

    liming, fungus control, and

    IPM (integrated pest manage-

    ment). More detail about each

    service follows.

    Aeration:To keep your

    lawn healthy, it should be aer-

    ated at least twice a year. The

    Royal Lawns aeration tech-

    niques allow air, light, water

    and nutrients to penetrate your

    lawn, promoting root growth

    and helping to decompose

    organically an excessive thatch

    An interesting ques-

    tion when you think

    about it, there are

    many factors that determine

    when an individual is able or

    positioned to retire. Some

    people are left powerless to

    choose as their employer

    made the decision for them

    due to a corporate buy-out,

    downsizing, relocation, merg-

    er or just simple termination.

    But, for most, the days of a

    defined benefit plan (the

    actual definition of a pension

    plan with a guaranteed pay-

    ment and commencement

    date) are now a distant mem-

    ory! Today, the overwhelming

    and most popular retirement

    plan is called a defined contri-bution plan, where the

    employee defines the contri-

    bution and where to put it.

    Commonly known as a 401k

    plan, a lot of people partici-

    pate in their employer pro-

    gram, yet know very little

    about it or investing in gener-

    al. It is the most important

    feature of a working career; to

    accumulate a retirement nest

    egg so when employment

    ceases, payments from the

    plan may replace the pay-

    check and continue for the

    rest of the former employee’s

    lifetime and if married, their

    spouses lifetime too.

    Will your 401k be

    enough? Financial industry

    studies routinely show that

    the answer is NO! A good

    back-up plan may be a self-funded IRA or an after-tax

    savings plan. Some people are

    “banking” on an inheritance;

    but, with more parents living

    longer and the costs of doing

    so eating into their children’s

    expected windfall, regardlessof a possible inheritance, each

    of us needs to be financially

    prepared for retirement and a

    long one at that! Is your

    expected inheritance protect-

    ed from a prolonged long-term

    care stay from either of your

    parents? I must suggest that

    you and your siblings, along

    with your parents and a finan-

    cial advisor get together to

    discuss this seriously urgent

    matter.

    Think about this recent

    statistic from the U.S.

    Department of Health’s web-

    site, www.longtermcare.gov,

    which states that 7 out of 10

    seniors will require long-term

    care assistance and with the

    Boomer Generation which is

    turning 65 at a rate of 10,000

    people a day for the next 16years this means that 7,000

    people a day, growing expo-

    nentially over the next 16

    years will require LTC assis-

    tance before they die! By this

    statistic 7,000 x 365 days =

    2,555,000 people over thenext 12 months will require

    LTC help. Multiply that over

    just the next 5 years =

    12,775,000 people will have a

    long-term care expense. Board

    and Care facilities (nursing

    homes) in Northern NJ cur-

    rently average $125,000

    annually, according to a

    recent Genworth Insurance

    Company study. Looking at

    this statistic and assuming

    that your parents have

    longevity and assets, with a

    70% chance of needing care

    and the average LTC facility

    stay just under 3 years, not

    accounting for inflation, the

    probable bill would amount to

    $375,000 per parent. Can

    they afford that? Can you

    afford to lose that much of 

    your “retirement inheri-tance?”

    Medicaid doesn’t chip in

    for facility care until Medicare

    is exhausted after 100 days or

    sooner if the patient’s health

    cannot be regained and they

    are designated as “custodial”and no longer rehabilitative.

    Medicaid won’t pay unless the

    family assets are spent-down

    to poverty level in order to

    become eligible. It’s this

    “spend-down” period that

    awakens children, but, by

    then it’s too late to be proac-

    tive. The child or children are

    typically the Power of 

    Attorney and deplete Dad and

    Mom’s portfolio/estate to pay

    for their parents’ care. Having

    been in this business for over

    33 years, I’ve witnessed this

    “spend-down tragedy” far too

    many times, as plans for a

    legacy, bequest and other best

    intentions were buried before

    the parents died, because the

    children were forced to use

    their parents money to pay

    the nursing home/homehealth care bills that ran into

    the hundreds of thousands of 

    dollars.

    So now let’s bring this

    story back to you, where you

    are the parent and not the

    child: have you prepared for

    this 70% statistical eventuali-

    ty of LTC needs and expenses,

    did you segregate a current

    value of $375,000 of your

    401k or retirement portfolio

    for this purpose? While work-

    ing, perhaps you had disability

    insurance to protect your pay-

    check in the event you could

    not work due to a disability;

    when you are retired or think-

    ing about retiring, shouldn’t

    you prepare to have the same

    “paycheck protection” from

    either a long-term care claim

    or if the bottom falls-out of 

    the stock market? Doesn’t

    everyone need paycheck pro-tection, especially when your

    retirement portfolio that gen-

    erates your monthly “pay-

    check” is finite? I certainly do

    and would encourage you to

    discuss this subject of such

    major financial importance

    with your spouse, your sib-

    lings, your kids and whomever

    you derive financial advice

    and guidance from. If you are

    not thrilled with your finan-

    cial advisor or don’t have one,

    I would like to apply for that

    honorable position, with no

    cost or obligation to you. This

    subject matter is just too

    important to ignore or put-off 

    any longer! You are the

    “youngest and healthiest” you

    will ever be, right now.

    Something might happen

    with your health to compro-mise your ability to purchase

    insurance coverage if you

    delay any longer. Just last

    week a client called me to

    increase his life insurance

    because his friend dropped

    dead of a heart attack at a

    family gathering, he was only

    30, married with 4 kids and

    had ZERO life insurance.

    Please don’t allow procrasti-

    nation to be a lethal weapon

    against you and your family’s

    financial future. Your legacy is

    worth more than that and so

    is your family’s memory of 

    how you provided for them!

    What will determine your retirement date?

    Growing up, I was

    probably the biggest

    liar in the world. I

    lied, cheated and stole almost

    compulsively. I lied so much,

    in fact, that to this day, I’m

    really not sure what memories

    actually occurred and which

    were fantasy. For example, if I

    didn’t have a photo of myself 

    standing on the field at

    Yankee Stadium hanging in

    my basement, I probably

    wouldn’t even know if I had

    actually tried out for the New

    York Yankees. Often times,

    my sisters talk about the past,

    but I just can’t seem to

    remember the memories they

    speak of.

    My lies became a totally

    separate reality for me. I won-

    der sometimes, Why did I lie

    so much? What happened in

    my childhood that led me to

    create a fantasy life for myself?

    I guess it all comes back to the

    “woe is me” syndrome. An

    attention-seeker runs on

    attention like cars run on

    gasoline. If I didn’t get my

    attention fix, I felt worthless.

    Because I felt like my life was

    not interesting enough to

    please my family, my friends,

    and anyone else I came in

    contact with, I made up what

    I thought was a better version

    of me. It would be easy for me

    to blame others, who never

    paid much attention to me,

    but ultimately I am the one

    who made the choice of creat-

    ing another me.

    I still can’t believe some

    of the stuff I did for attention,

    or just to make myself feel

    more important.

    Think about it…

    Are you who you say you

    are or merely the fantastical

    creation of your own mind?

    Maybe you are the creation of 

    someone else. I truly believe

    we are born with a purpose

    and that we should seek that

    purpose in order for us to

    attain that “sweet spot” that

    makes life exciting and worth

    living!

    Re-Seeding: Areas of the

    lawn that have been damaged

    or neglected can be renewed byre-seeding. “We use quality dis-

    ease-resistant blends of blue-

    grass, fescue, and rye grasses

    especially selected for your

    lawn’s environment, improving

    the appearance and density of 

    your turf. This, in turn, helps

    inhibit weed growth,” said

    Michael.

     Fertilizer (granular): A

    thriving lawn requires properlytimed applications of complete,

    balanced, slow-release fertiliz-

    ers to replace essential nutri-

    ents taken from the soil. The

    fertilizers used by Royal Lawns

    are designed to feed your lawn

    from one service to the next,

    and there is no surge growth or

    burning – just steady greening

    and a thicker, more beautiful

    lawn.Liming: The application

    of lime increases the granula-

    tion of soil, improving its phys-

    ical structure and air-to-water

    ratio, helping your lawn toler-

    ate drought conditions. Liming

    increases the availability of 

    many plant nutrients, making

    fertilizers more effective and

    helping to reduce weeds by cre-

    ating conditions more favor-

    able to grass growth.

     Fungus control: Since

    fungus problems are derived

    mostly from weather condi-

    tions, maintaining a strong

    lawn through treatment, water-

    ing and proper mowing makes

    your lawn more naturally resist-

    ant to fungus problems.

    However, in appropriate condi-

    tions, fungicides may be used to

    help reduce damage caused by

    cell deterioration from fungus.IPM: The most serious

    threats to a beautiful lawn are

    weeds, disease and insects.

    Because of the variety and the

    diversity of appropriate treat-

    ments, they are most difficult

    to control. Royal Lawns pro-

    vides expert weed and pest

    controls, using only Environ-

    ment Protection Agency

    approved materials that arescientifically tested to be

    effective. Being concerned

    with the environment, Royal

    amounts where needed to

    12/28

    There’s another great

    debate about the feline

    as a pet besides the

    declawing issue. This great

    debate concerns allowing the

    feline to roam outdoors versus

    living indoors. Should you

    allow your cat to roam out-

    doors? Let’s find out.

    Outdoor Felines

    Cats are essentially wild

    creatures, and they have always

    loved the outdoors. What

    feline owner hasn’t watched his

    cat loll in a patch of sunshine

    on a winter day, or roll con-

    tentedly in the dirt in its own

    backyard? Cats do love the sun-

    shine, the outdoors, and the

    fresh air. However, outdoor cats

    are susceptible to more dis-

    eases, more injuries, and more

    health problems.

    Outdoor cats may tusslewith other cats, catch parasites

    or other diseases, or be hit by a

    car or caught by other preda-

    tors. They can also be poisoned

    by pesticides, antifreeze left

    unattended or other toxins.

    They can cause problems with

    neighbors by using their yards

    as a cat box. Outdoor cats sim-

    ply aren’t as safe as indoor cats.

    Indoor Felines

    Indoor cats live longer,

    healthier lives. Studies prove it

    and common sense dictates it.

    Indoor cats have many advan-

    tages outdoor cats can’t hope to

    have. Outdoor cats live on an

    average of 3 to 5 years, while

    indoor cats live an average of 

    12 years or more. My last

    indoor cats lived to be 19 andnearly 21.

    Indoor cats enjoy safety

    and comfort. They are safe

    from diseases that feral cats

    may carry and outdoor cats

    pick up. They are safe from cat

    fights, cars, and predators.

    And, indoor cats won’t harm

    other wildlife, such as birds and

    small animals.

    Alternatives

    There are many alterna-

    tives to the outdoor lifestyle.

    When kittens first come home,

    they should be kept indoors. If 

    your cats miss their outdoor

    excursions, you might try to

    train them to wear a harness

    and walk on a leash. They will

    still be able to enjoy the out-

    doors, but much more safely.Another alternative is to

    create a safe outdoor area or

    run where the cats can go out-

    side but cannot escape the area.

    There are many outdoor runs

    available now that connect to a

    cat door and allow the cat

    access to a run on a patio or in

    a backyard.

    You can also allow the cat

    outdoors on a patio or deck

    when you are outdoors, andonly for a short time. Or, you

    can use a carrier to take your

    kitty for walks in the sunshine.

    Keeping kitty indoors will

    keep it healthy, happy, and free

    of infectious diseases it might

    catch outside. Each pet owner

    is responsible for his own pet’s

    health and well-being. Keeping

    kitty inside is the choice that

    makes sense.

    Bottled Water

    A four-year study by the Natural Resources Defense Council shows that 1/3 of the bottled water

    tested contains levels of contamination which exceed allowable limits. Bottled water can alsobe slightly acidic, which may affect your body’s pH balance. Finally, the environmental impact

    caused by the production and disposal of plastic bottles is harmful to our ecosystem.

    Tap Water

    Tap water is a healthier option than soft drinks and other beverages, but according to the

    Environmental Working Group, there have been 315 pollutants found in America’s tap water

    since 2004, and over half of these pollutants are completely unregulated and can legally existin any amount.

    Reverse Osmosis and Distilled Water

    Reverse Osmosis and Distilling are filtering processes, which removes healthy, naturally

    occurring minerals in our water. These minerals not only provide good taste, they also serve a

    vital function in the healthy balance of our bodies. When stripped of these minerals, this waterbecomes unnatural and an aggressive absorber. This can be quite unhealthy. Also, 2 - 3 gallonsof water are wasted for every gallon of purified water produced; again, a very negative impact

    on our environment and ecosystem.

    To find out what we found out, have your water

    tested for free, and ask how to get your

    21 day FREE trial of healthy water.

    like pattern, or a spider pattern.

    These veins are not painful, and usu-

    ally are a cosmetic issue only.

    A treatment option for these prob-

    lematic veins is Sclerotherapy. In

    order to understand how scle-

    rotherapy works, it is important to

    understand how pressure on the

    veins causes vein swelling. This

    pressure hinders the blood from

    being able to successfully pass

    through it. So, the walls of the vein

    swell (thus making them stand out

    from the leg).

    It is estimated that approximately

    half of all adult women are affected

    by spider veins. Treatment helps im-

    prove your skin’s appearance, cre-

    ating a more uniform, unblemished

    look. Sclerotherapy is a simple of-

    fice procedure that can eliminate

    unsightly spider veins in your legs.

    At the new ACP Vein Center, Scle-

    rotherapy is one of our most popu-

    lar treatments for removing spider

    veins. It involves injecting problem

    veins on the legs with a ster ile solu-

    tion that irritates the lining of the

    blood vessel and makes the prob-

    lem vein go away. This is a minimally

    invasive procedure that rarely re-

    quires any anesthetic, and can be

    performed in our office. A session

    will usually take about 30 minutes,

    depending on the number of veins

    to be treated. Sclerotherapy is most

    often used on small-to medium-

    sized veins.

    As a little girl I loved

    Easter. What’s not to

    love? My sister and I

    always got a new “Easter out-

    fit” which included a frilly

    dress of our choosing, lacy

    socks, shiny new patent

    leather mary janes, a hat and

    even little white gloves. No,

    I’m not nearing 80, that’s just

    the way my mom wanted to

    do things.Coloring enough eggs to

    exhaust a barnyard of chick-

    ens, we were artistic geniuses.

    The night before the big day

    we’d be filled with butterflies

    of anticipation for the beauti-

    ful, loaded basket that giant

    rabbit would drop off in

    exchange for the large carrot

    left as an offering of grati-

    tude…and yes, we believed!

    Up at dawn, we’d marvel

    at the lovely loot bestowed

    upon us and eat a few pieces

    of candy before breakfast.

    Church was fun because we

    got to show off our new

    clothes and find out how

    much the Big Bunny liked

    other kids.

    Off to Grandma’s housefor Easter egg hunts until the

    last adult finally said no more.

    Aunts, uncles, cousins and

    grandparents sat down to a

    table laden with what we

    now call comfort food.

    Throughout the day we were

    depleting our stash as the

    marshmallow peeps, choco-

    late bunnies, jelly beans and

    malted milk eggs were con-

    sumed.

    Um…and there was

    something about Jesus. Any

    of this sounding familiar?

    I’m not one to condemn

    any tradition that results in

    family togetherness and form-

    ing sweet memories, but per-

    haps there’s a better way. I

    realize now that the Eastercelebration I grew up with

    was all about me: my appear-

    ance, my stash of goodies, and

    my fun day.

    Honestly, it’s still all

    about me…at least that’s

    what Jesus would say. He

    lived in our challenging, abu-

    sive, hurt-filled world for me.

    He died a brutal death, at the

    hands of hateful people for

    me. He defeated death and

    lives on, for me. Romans 5:8

    says, “But God demonstrates

    His love for us in this: While

    we were still sinners, Christ

    died for us.”

    For those who love the

    fun family traditions like I

    grew up with, maybe there

    could be two days of Easter

    celebrations. Perhaps Good

    Friday or even on Saturday,

    we could spend a little time

    remembering our Lord who

    brought each of us so much

    for water or critters.

    Landscaping: Landscap-

    ing also tends to take a hit in

    areas that experience harsh

    winters. Winter storms may

    damage trees, which can put a

    home right in the line of 

    falling limbs or worse. Walk

    around your property to

    inspect for tree damage,

    removing any fallen limbs or

    cutting down any limbs thatappear dead or that might

    eventually prove a safety haz-

    ard. In addition, check the

    grass for any dead spots that

    might have fallen victim to

    winter freeze, and address

    those spots when the time

    comes to revitalize your lawn.

    Appliances: When sur-

    veying your property after along winter, inspect appli-

    ances like a central air condi-

    tioning unit or even dryer

    vents to make sure they made

    it through the winter un-

    scathed. Such appliances may

    have proven an attractivenesting spot for animals over

    the winter, but damage can be

    significant if vermin or other

    animals seek shelter from win-

    ter weather inside appliances.

     Estate announced Regina“Gina” Petry AwardedNJAR Circle of Excellence Bronze Award 2014

    more than a wicker basketful

    of colored sugar. We could

    deliberately try to relate to

     Jesus by recalling our own

    (comparably shallow) experi-

    ences of pain and sacrifice for

    others. We could spend some

    time being still, soaking in

    God’s eternal expression of 

    love that encompassed the

    very first Easter.

    “Oh, give thanks to theLORD! Call upon His name;

    Make known His deeds

    among the peoples! ...” Psalm

    105:1. We could write Him a

    sincere letter of thanks. We

    could teach our kids to draw a

    picture or use other artistic

    methods to create a gift

    expressing grateful hearts.

    Our wonderful God

    doesn’t want us to throw

    away fun times or eliminate

    lasting traditions or replace

    them with a stiff, obligatory

    religious ritual. He loves to

    see us smile, hug and enjoy

    treats. But I believe He’d

    delight even more in the way

    our spirits would respond to

    an intentional interlude

    basking in His presence. Not

    for His sake because Easter is

    all about us. www.cbn.com
