2009, their days are now more often spent doing depositions and gemstone analysis. In the evenings though, they still love to plug in their guitars and blow the windows out of a joint. On November 6th, their latest band “Stimulus” will be rocking out on tunes from AC/DC, Foreigner, Sammy Hagar, Journey, Led Zeppelin and the like at Bardi's in Pequannock. They chose the name “Stimulus” as a joke, because in the 80's it would have been a really cool name for a rock

band, but today it's a pun on the economic package. The band is no pun though, fronted by powerful lead vocalist Billy Tegathoff, and driven by innovative drummer George Hoffman, Stimulus is a new favorite for fans of 80's rock. While they've done shows all around NJ, Nov. 6th at Bardi's will be their first time together back in their old stomping ground of Pequannock in over 20 years. Ken and Joe are hoping to see a lot of old friends there.

It’s Time To Discuss Converting Your IRA To A Roth IRA

T

axpayers earning over $100,000 annually could not convert their Traditional IRA’s into a Roth IRA until the end of 2009 and that day is rapidly approaching. Conversions beginning in 2010 and later, the $100,000 AGI limit and the prohibition on conversion for those using the Married Filing Separately filing status will no longer apply. For conversions in 2010 only and unless the taxpayer chooses otherwise, the amount required to be included in income can be spread equally over 2011 and 2012 or can be paid in full in the current year. Distributions from qualified retirement plans, 457 plans, 403(b) plans and 401k plans may also be rolled over to a Roth IRA. As with the conversion of a traditional IRA, qualified plan conversions are taxable events, with

gross income for the year of conversion being increased by previously deducted contributions plus net earnings (or minus net losses). This is a very interesting opportunity and must be well thought out and planned for. If your existing IRA or qualified plan balance is relatively small or the majority of contributions in your IRA consist of non-deductible contributions, then converting is a good idea. If you have at least five years before making a withdrawal or you anticipate that your IRA will not be needed for retirement income with the goal of leaving it for your children and you have sufficient non-IRA funds to pay the additional income tax due as a result of the conversion, 2010 is your year to make the move. If you believe that your tax bracket during your retirement years will be the same or higher than your current bracket or you feel that tax brackets in general will be rising significantly, you are a logical candidate for a Roth IRA conversion. On the other hand, if your tax bracket is anticipated to be much lower in retirement or your income in 2010 will be your best year yet, it will prob-

ably be bad advice to recognize the tax now by converting. “Qualified” distributions from your Roth IRA are excluded from gross income and are not subject to federal income tax if it is made after a five-year waiting period and at least one of the following requirements is met: you reach age 59½, you die, become disabled or to pay for first-timehome-buyer expenses. The earnings portion of a “non-qualified” distribution is subject to tax. To determine any taxable distribution, the funds are considered to be withdrawn in a specified order; any withdrawal is considered to come first from non-deductible contributions, which are not subject to tax. Conversion amounts are considered next and are not included in gross income, but may be subject to the 10% premature distribution penalty if the funds are withdrawn within five years of being converted. Once all contributions and conversions have been withdrawn, any remaining funds are deemed to be earnings and when distributed, are included in gross income. If a taxable distribution is received prior to age 59½, a 10% penalty tax is added to

the regular income tax due, unless one or more of the following exceptions apply: • A distribution is made because of the death or disability of the account owner. • A withdrawal is part of a scheduled series of substan-

tially equal periodic payments. • A distribution is rolled-over into another Roth IRA. • A withdrawal is used to pay for deductible medical expenses. • The distribution is used to

Shopping In The Pink: Supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Your Local and Trusted Jeweler for over 23 years!

A L L YO U R J E W E L RY N E G N I EDS V SER • Jewelry and Watch Repairs Watch Batteries and Straps Appraisals for Insurance and Estate Custom Designs including CAD (Computer Aided Design)

When you get the chance to shop and support a great cause at the same time, there's no reason why we should not all take advantage of the opportunity -- when we celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness Month each October. Here are some ways to think pink and get a jump-start with your holiday shopping list: -- Check out Key To The Cure. The annual charity shopping event takes place Oct. 15 to 18 at all Saks stores nationwide, all Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH stores and through saks.com. Saks will donate 2 percent of sales up to $250,000 from the shopping weekend to local and national women's cancer organizations and research centers. They are also selling a limited edition Tshirt by Michael Kors. -- The Lisa for LOFT limited-edition bracelet. Already a favorite of celebrities including Taylor Swift, Emmanuelle Chriqui of "Entourage," "Gossip Girl"'s Kelly Rutherford and Audrina Patridge of "The Hills," the bracelet benefits the Breast Cancer Research Foundation in LOFT stores nationwide as well as www.loftonline.com. The bracelet is a great deal for $24.50, of which $5 of the proceeds from each bracelet sold will be donated directly to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation -- a charity dedicated to providing critical funding for research at medical centers worldwide and increasing public awareness about good breast health in order to achieve prevention and a cure for breast cancer. -- The "Give Hope" collection at White House/Black Market this month. Net proceeds up to $200,000 will be donated to Living Beyond

Breast Cancer, a national, nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering all women affected by breast cancer. Before you buy that dark denim jean this fall, check out the "Give Hope" ones at (www.whitehouseblackmar ket.com). -- Take advantage of some great deals offered through the Estee Lauder companies. The Breast Cancer Research Foundation was founded in 1993 by Evelyn H. Lauder as an independent, not-for-profit organization dedicated to funding innovative clinical and translational research. The Foundation supports scientists at top universities and academic medical centers worldwide conducting the most advanced and promising breast cancer research that will lead to prevention and a cure in our lifetime. A minimum of 85 cents of each dollar donated to the Foundation goes directly to breast cancer research and awareness programs. In October 2008, $34.5 million was awarded to 166 scientists across the United States and in Australia, Canada, Latin America, the Middle East and throughout Europe. For more information, visit www.bcrfcure.org or call 1.866.FIND.A.CURE. -- Bobbi Brown is an Estee Lauder company that is "thinking pink" this month by offering a limited edition lip set ( w w w. B o b b i b r o w n . c o m ) . Other companies include: Bumble and bumble (www.

bumbleandbumble.com) with their classic hairspray; Clinique with their lip gloss on a key chain -- one of my favorite ideas because you can always find this one in your purse! (www.clinique.com); Jo Malone's Red Roses scent (jomalone.com); and Elizabeth Hurley's handpicked lip set (www.esteelauder.com). Even the guys can get in on the BCA deals with Sean John fragrance specials (www.sean john-iamking.com). -- Avon is another beauty company who contributes heavily to breast cancer research. Search its website (www.avon.com) for all kinds of interesting products. The Marimekko floral tote for $10 is a great deal, and 100 percent of the net profits will be donated to the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade. Heidi Klum, celebrity ambassador, is wearing the limited edition T-shirt designed by Michael Kors, which is available at Saks. Photo courtesy of Saks Fifth Avenue.

-- Wacoal, the intimate apparel company, is so passionate about finding a cure for breast cancer that they have diligently fought alongside Susan G. Komen for the Cure for the last 10 years in an effort to knock out breast cancer one bra at a time. Over the past decade, Wacoal's commitment to Susan G.

bugs”, those growing numbers of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Eventually, despite failure of the antibiotics, the body’s own immune system takes care of the infection and all is well. Or so it appears, until the next reoccurrance. After several episodes of this, it is recommended your child has tubes implanted in their ears, a procedure called tympanostomy tube surgery, the most common operation for children. But wait, didn’t you read something about this ... yes, the April 1994 Journal of the American Medical Association published research that examined 6,429 cases of tympanostomy tube surgery and found less than half of these surgeries were appropriate. Clearly, chronic or recurrent otitis media is a serious health problem for which traditional medicine has limited answers. Faced with this realization, many parents seek alternative methods of treatment, including chiropractic. Indeed, drugless, non-surgical treatment has great appeal, and a growing body of research is showing chiropractic care can play an important role in helping children with chronic otitis media. For example, a recent paper published in Chiropractic Pediatrics documents four cases of chronic otitis media treated with chiropractic care. The four patients described range from 14 months to seven years of age. Each had chronic or recurrent otitis media (usually with sinus infections) ranging from one to seven years. One patient had 60% hearing loss in one ear, and surgery was advocated by the pediatrician. All four

patients had undergone multiple regimen of antibiotics. Chiropractic examination revealed postural distortions and evidence of abnormal spinal alignment and movement (“subluxation”), primarily in the cervical region. Treatment was administered to correct the postural faults and improve spinal function in the areas of subluxation. At the time of the report, all four patients had been free of otitis media for periods ranging from five months to four years without antibiotics or surgery. These outcomes were verified by parental reports, medical examinations, school attendance data and hearing tests. How can chiropractic help chronic ear infections? Many cases of recurrent otitis media are thought to be the result of blockage or restriction of the small lymphatic chains that drain fluid from the middle ear. This blockage forces fluid to build up in the middle ear, creating an inviting environment for bacteria and viruses. The restriction in fluid drainage is caused by increased tension in the muscles overlying the already small lymphatic drainage system in children. Research has demonstrated that spinal joint function effects muscle tone. Therefore, abnormal movement of the joints in the neck or incorrect spinal position may be responsible for tightening the neck muscles, restricting lymphatic drainage. The fundamental goal of chiropractic care is to restore and maintain optimum spinal function, meaning correct spinal position and joint movement. When a chiropractor evaluates a child suffering from chronic otitis media or any other health complaint, posture, spinal position and motion, and muscle tone and function are thoroughly assessed. If abnormalities are detected, the chiropractor may use gentle spinal adjustments and muscle release techniques to help restore normal spinal and muscle function, enabling proper lymphatic drainage to resume. So when your child suffers from recurring inner ear infections that do not respond satisfactorily to medical care, think laterally! Alternative approaches may provide the solutions you are looking for. Drs. Glenn and Christine Foss are the owners of Advance Sports Medicine and Physical Therapy Center in Riverdale. Both doctors have been practicing chiropractic for over thirteen years and have been amongst the communities leading health care providers. As innovators in health care, they have merged chiropractic and physical therapy services together to enhance the quality of patient care and overall treatment outcome.

Shopping In Pink landmark initiatives, such as the Awareness bra, Fi(GH)t for the Cure and Support the Girls, sweeping the nation to educate hundreds of thousands of women about the importance of bra fit, foundation and breast health.

More than 435,000 women across 718 cities in all 50 states proved that doing something so simple can help so many. For every woman who receives a complimentary fitting from a trained Wacoal Fit Consultant during one of the events, Wacoal donates $2 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure and another $2 for every Wacoal item purchased. Additionally, the Support the Girls program, which coincides with breast cancer awareness month, furthers Wacoal and Susan G.

Does My Pet Have An Ear Infection? tive thyroid, your pet's ear anatomy like excess hair or moisture, hereditary or immune conditions, and tumors. Pets with allergies, either to food or something they inhale, often have ear problems. Allergies, is typically the most common cause of ear infections that veterinarians see. Sometimes these ear problems may be the first sign of an allergy. The inflammation from allergies changes the environment within the ear, which leads to secondary infections with bacteria or yeast. If we just treat the infection, we are not getting to the root of the problem. We need to treat the allergies too with diet trials, immunotherapy or medication. Ear mites are a more common cause of ear problems in cats than in dogs. The resultant itching can be intense and may be present elsewhere on the body not just the ears. When ear discharge is seen, many people will assume that their pet's ear infection is due to ear mites. Ear mites discharge has a distinctive black coffee-ground appearance whereas infectious discharge is more moist and ranges from brown to yellow.

D

oes your dog's or cat’s ears have an odor? Are they scratching or shaking their head? Is there ‘dirt-like’ material in the ears? What could it be? What should I do? This could be an ear infection and you should seek medical assistance from your veterinarian before the condition worsens and becomes painful. Ear infections are very common. Based on data from pet insurance companies, ear infections are a top ten reason for dogs and cats to visit their veterinarian. Dogs and cats can have ear infections or inflammation of the ear canal for many different reasons such as allergies (seasonal/environmental or food allergies ), parasites like ear mites , foreign bodies like plant awns, endocrine diseases such as an underac-

Other causes of ear infections include foreign bodies, most notably plant awns. They can cause irritation, your pet scratches, and before you know it we have an ear infection. Certain endocrine diseases can cause skin and ear problems such as hypothyroidism and Cushing's disease. Certain dog breeds with heavy, floppy ears such as Cocker Spaniels may be predisposed due to the excess moisture that builds up in their ears. Because there are many potential causes of ear problems, the next step is to visit your veterinarian for a diagnosis. Your veterinarian will use an otoscope to look down into the ear canal. Swabs of the ear can be taken (called an ear cytology), and examined for bacteria, yeast, and mites. If a bacterial infection does not respond to the first antibiotic therapy, a culture and sensitivity may need to be performed. A thorough history and physical exam may help determine if this could be a hormonal, allergic, or hereditary problem and further diagnostic testing would be needed. It is important to visit your veterinarian promptly

for a diagnosis and treatment if you suspect an ear infection. If left unattended they can become very painful, lead to permanently narrow canals or an ear hematoma. Ear hematomas most commonly occur when a dog or cat shakes its head from an ear infection, the ear hits the top of their head, a blood vessel in the ear ruptures and the loose space under the skin will fill up with blood. These will have a noticeably swollen, fluid-filled ear that is extremely painful to the touch. The treatment of choice for ear hematomas is surgery. The key to healthy ears is early treatment and prevention. Check your pet's ears weekly. A slight amount of waxy buildup may be present in normal ears. If your dog swims a lot, has pendulous ears, or a history of ear disease, routine cleaning may be recommended. Excess hair around the ear can be clipped by your groomer to allow more air flow. It's also important to treat any underlying condition, like allergies; otherwise the condition will likely recur. Dr. Matthew Krupnick is the

owner of the Pequannock Animal Hospital . He grew up in Kinnelon and is happy to be home, with his wife, three cats and two dogs, to provide quality and compassionate care for your

both parents work, and neither parent can make it home to take their kids out trick-or-treating, and partially due to safety concerns, the Halloween party has become a popular alternative to the standard Halloween.

Parents looking to host a Halloween party this fall should consider the following tips. • Enlist the help of fellow parents. Because so many households are two income households,

chances are strong many parents throughout your neighborhood cannot make it home to take the kids out on Halloween. Discuss a party with fellow parents and enlist their help. The idea will proba-

bly be warmly received and you'll have a lot less work as a result. • Get RSVPs as early as possible. Ask parents to RSVP as soon as possible. This gives you a heads-up as to how much food and beverages you need to buy, but it also gives you ample to time to tailor the menu to a variety of children, many of whom might be allergic to specific dishes. • Plan the menu. Though it's common to hear "Halloween" and instantly think

of candy, you'll need more than candy bars and lollipops if you're hosting a Halloween party. Since the party will likely be on a weekend afternoon, plan to order a few pizzas for lunch or something else that's universally appealing and won't upset anyone's stomach. • Stock up on candy. Kids might not be too excited about forgoing their beloved tradition of trick-or-treating, but that can quickly be offset if you simply give kids candy when they arrive and place a

handful of candy dishes around the house. While this might seem like a sugary nightmare, it is Halloween, and kids deserve their candy. • Make it a costume party. The tendency to forgo a Halloween costume when attending a Halloween party is common. But be sure to include on the invitations that costumes are required. This will make it feel more like Halloween for the kids.

A Safety Renovation

I

t is important to keep safety in mind with everything you do as a homeowner. Therefore, take the time to assess these areas of potential concern as part of any home-improvement plans: • Periodically check your hot water tank, washing machine, dishwasher, and refrigerator icemaker to see if they are secure and leak-free.

• Keep supplemental heating sources, such as woodburning stoves, or kerosene, propane or electrical heaters at least 3 feet away from flammable items including draperies and clothing. • Don't store flammable items, or just about anything too close to furnaces or hot water tanks. • Carefully monitor the electrical system for shorts and sparks. Do not run

cords under rugs or heavy furniture, and do not overload electrical outlets. • Keep chemical cleaning products, home-repair items, like paint and mineral spirits, and tools under lock and key or out of reach of children. • Do not store combustible materials like newspapers and rags in the basement or garage. • Burn only dry, seasoned hardwood in your fireplace,

and regularly have the chimney inspected and cleaned. • Install a working smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector on every floor of the home. • Inspect surrounding trees and cut down any dead limbs. If a tree doesn't seem sound to you, bring in an expert tree service to remove it. You don't want a tree crashing down during a powerful storm. • Make sure steps, both indoors and outdoors, are level and intact. Install better lighting at entryways to improve safety.

ing to a survey among licensed U.S. real estate agents and brokers. In 2008, 99 percent of real estate professionals surveyed indicated that having hardwood floors influenced a home’s salability. In addition, nine out of ten agents suggested that homes with mostly hardwood floors will sell faster and for more money, and that people who have lived in homes with hardwood floors are more likely to buy another home with hardwood floors. It is very important when remodeling or building a new home to understand the options available in wood flooring. “Solid wood” flooring can be sanded and refinished to its original beauty, and is made from a single piece of wood in three basic types. The first type is Strip flooring, which accounts for the majority of installations and comes in widths between one and three inches, usually 2 ¼ inches wide. The second type is

Plank flooring, which are boards over three inches wide, and the third type is Engineered flooring, which can be glued down over concrete and is made of five layers, giving customers more options for finishing basements. When it comes to choosing a flooring company, JDL Wood Floors prides itself in quality customer service. We guarantee that your experience with us will be unique, in that we customize our services to meet the individual needs of all our clients. Whether you want to sand, stain, and refinish your existing floors, or install new wood flooring, you will find quality workmanship with us from start to finish. Our pricing is extremely competitive, and you will find that we beat the prices of home centers, floor stores and most flooring professionals. JDL Wood Floors will be launching a new Ecommerce website called

Valuehardwood.com. It will carry a full line of flooring from solid to laminate, oaks to exotics. Pricing will be well below retail and include free delivery. We feel that going to a retail store or home center is not a good option for the consumer. The selection is poor and the pricing is way off. Many people are apprehensive about ordering online, but Valuehardwood.com will be backed up locally by JDL and our wholesale supplier showroom in Pompton Plains. So if you think that wood flooring is the right choice for your home, give us a call for a free in-home estimate. With JDL Wood Floors you can count on professional, experienced, and friendly service, all at a great price. Our number is 973406-7105, and we look forward to working with you!

Pizza King: "Your Local Community Pizzeria"

or a very long time, Pizza King was the place to go for pizza and good Italian food in the Kinnelon/Butler area, as it was known for its great food and friendly family atmosphere. Now that void is being filled by local businessmen who are bringing back a landmark with the old tradition of a friendly staff, good food, good people, good prices and family atmosphere, all in a very clean environment. Sal Pagliarulo, owner of Lina's in Bloomingdale since 1983, knows the importance of serving high quality food in a friendly, family-type atmosphere. H has formed a partnership with his son,

Back row left to right: Joey Pagliarulo, Tony Greco Front row left to right: Eugene Greco, Sal Pagliarulo, Angelo Greco & Danny

name of "Pizza King," as well as its traditional service. It is the intention of the new owners to return its former Number One Status in the continues on next page

community by serving the best pizza made with the freshest, finest ingredients available. Sal stated that the new pizzeria, which opened in late May, will be known as a "Place with a Face" where customers can feel at home, having a place where everyone talks to each other and gets to know each other as friends. This was the way the original Pizza King was. These family oriented qualities have now been brought

back to the community, along with the personal touch that only considerable experience in the business can provide. The Greco Family has the reputation of making the finest pizza, being the Pizza Kings. Sal and his family have always operated Lina's with outstanding food and friendly service being their highest priorities. Between the two families, they have over 100 years of experience in operating restaurants and pizzerias.

Only the best quality pizza made from Grande Cheese and Alta Cucina tomatoes can be found at Pizza King, along with a complete menu of dinners, hot and cold subs, wraps, and a large variety of salads, as well as their specialty pizzas. All items are available at reasonable prices and deliv-

ered to your house or business for lunch and dinner, seven days a week. They will also cater any event from 10 to 300 people. They offer special prices for schools, pizza parties, churches, and all other community organizations. They are also eager to help all fundraising for the local community. The

new owners also intend to give back to the community that supports their business and will sponsor local teams and do many fundraisers. Sal and his partners will implement their successful business philosophy, which what Sal calls the 4 Pillars of the Food Business. 1. Quality Food, 2. Reasonable Prices,

3. Personal Services, and 4. Spotlessly Clean. Pizza King is open 7 days a week and offers free delivery from 11:00am to 10:00pm. It is located at 1574 Route 23 North in the Bromat Shopping Plaza. For more information please call 973-492-3800.

Appropriate Staging Is The Key To Successful Home Sales

F

or Christine Bruno of Coldwell Banker in Pompton Plains, the initial impression that is made when a prospective buyer enters a home is first on the priority list. Initial impressions deliver, and in today’s market, where there are many homes for sale, buyers tend to be choosy and cautious. A showing on your property is a gift. You must take that opportunity to make your home shine. Once they enter through the front door, this is the time to have your home stand out from the rest and make all the other homes on the market disappear.

$1,350,000

There are subtle but effective ways to make a space feel larger, appear more comfortable, and seem more useful, but it takes some work to transfer your home into a buyer’s must-have. This is where staging plays an important role, as those subtle changes, if presented appropriately, can make the difference as to whether or not there is a transaction made that is suitable for both buyer and seller. Recently, Christine listed a property on 224 Ackerman Place in Pompton Lakes and decided that this would be the perfect subject for an experi-

ment in staging. The home was well-maintained, offering three bedrooms, one full bathroom, a dining room, EIK, living room, and full basement, but needed a little “kick” as a pick-me-up. Christine reached out to local vendors to see if they would be interested in this project, and the response was overwhelming! Lowe’s Home Improvement in Butler offered a new countertop, a new bathroom vanity, faucet, and new flooring. Serena Amoroso from the Human Resource Department helped choose colors and styles, and she was wonderful to work with.

KINNELON

$579,000

“Wow!” from many, and we have a high level of interest. The changes that were made to the home were bold but tasteful, and keep in mind all you put in your home, you will get back in less time then those who do not. This home on 224 Ackerman Place in Pompton Lakes is now ready for sale at $294,900, and is a breath of fresh air. As Christine Bruno stated, “If you are serious about selling your home, call me! My impressive marketing strategies combined with a staging plan will bring your home to the closing table.”
