You can save shipping charges by picking up the Commemorative Album and Papal Review at the above location.

Also available with this Commemorative Album is the Papal Review, which is a compilation in book form of all of the Popes, beginning with St. Peter, up to, and including Pope John Paul II, with history and pictures.

This album, therefore, is presented as a Commemorative Tribute to John Paul II, The Pope.

Pope John Paul II is on his way to sainthood. It has been announced that Pope John Paul II will be beatified on May 1, 2011. This puts him just one step away from canonization as a saint.

In 1978 the election of a Polish Pope came as a surprise to the entire world. It meant a break with tradition and the begnning of a new era in Rome. Not only has Cardinal Karol Wojtya become the

first non-Italian Pope in 455 years, but also the youngest elected Pontiff in 132 years.

In 1978 Victor V. Scudiery was commissioned to produce a perfect Easter gift. Today this Commemorative Album and the Papal Review is available in limited quantities.

The Goddard School welcomes new partnerBy MICHELLE TUCHOLCorrespondent

HAZLET TOWNSHIP – There’s a newwoman in charge at The Goddard School.Actually, Pat Hough (a.k.a. Miss Pat to herstudents) has been with the early childhooddevelopment facility for three years. ButHough is now officially a new co-ownerwith partners Julie and Doug Vanderbilt.

Hough has been in the education systemfor 30 years. She worked closely with theWestchester County school system as a spe-cial education teacher aiding elementarystudents as well as tenth grade.

She knows that all children have a needfor attention and education, and forming abond early in childhood has always been anintegral part of Hough’s teaching method.

“I want to show them their opportuni-ties,” Hough said.

It may seem farfetched that Hough com-ments on her students at The GoddardSchool as if they were on their way tochange the world. But they already have.

These kindergarten students, rangingfrom five and six years of age, have person-alities all their own.

Doug Vanderbilt points out that one ofGoddard’s philosophies is “work throughplay.” The fact that he, Julie Vanderbilt,Hough and the other teachers at the facilityare able to incorporate that every day forchildren is special.

Hough explained the curriculum is filledwith enrichment. From art history to musiceducation and mathematics to languageskills, students gain so much knowledge ata young age and are able to soak it up as theteachers make it fun to learn.

Also, the up and coming technology inthe classroom has created a shift in the waystudents are learning. Some new featuresthe school has to offer include iPads and aninteractive SMART Board. Children are be-coming experts at using both.

Dedication to the education field and at-tention to personal skills are key to a child’sgrowth. Hough embraced this through herexperience with the Westchester school sys-tem and carried it with her when she movedto New Jersey six years ago.

As co-owner of The Goddard School inHazlet, Hough is now able to interact withthe students as well as authorize valuableinput on their current and future curriculum.

On a daily basis, Hough begins by visit-ing all the classrooms to play with the stu-dents. Since she has been there for threeyears prior to the new partnership, all fac-ulty and students from Pre-K and up recog-nize Hough as a friendly face.

“There’s so much we can learn,” Houghsaid, in regards to being exposed to young-

sters for the better half of the day. After play time, Hough enjoys having in-

dividual talks with any of the students whoare willing to share their insights. She feelsit’s important to have a mentor who is fun,but is open and understanding when stu-dents have important issues to share.

The Vanderbilts also agree that beingable to share their day with the students isa joy that should not be taken for granted.The collaboration between the trio appearsto be working well. And now with threeowners, there’s always someone who isavailable to stay on site.

Hough treats every day as an opportunityto teach and learn, which is something thestudents also exemplify.

Hough is excited for the new enrollmentof students that will come for summerclasses as well as those who will sign up forthe fall.

“The best thing is being able to say Iwork for the future,” Hough concluded.

HAZLET TOWNSHIP — High school seniors who reside in Hazlet and will be entering college in the fall of 2011 are eli-gible to apply for a scholarship which will be awarded by the Hazlet Business Owners Association (HBOA).

“Since the HBOA is a non-profit orga-nization, we decided that we were going to help kids with some type of scholarship program,” John Pallitto, owner of Forum Tuexdo, said.

Assisting Pallitto with the scholarship are Ted Koczon, owner of Perkins, and Sue Noble, manager of Provident Bank.

Last year, the HBOA raised $500. The program is open to any high school senior that is a Hazlet resident that is in top 20 percent of their class. They have to have a letter of recommendation and their college major must be business. Also, to be quali-fied, they have to write a 500-word essay

on why they’d like to be in business.The program is open to Raritan High

School as well as the Academy of Allied Health and Science, Marine Academy, Communications HS, High Tech HS and Biotech HS, along with four catholic high schools, St. John Vianney, Red Bank Catholic, Christian Brothers Academy and Mater Dei.

“This year, we raised more money and had a very successful fundraiser, so rather than giving one person more money we are going to give out more scholarships,” Pal-litto said.

The deadline for the essays is May 15.“We as business owners think education

is a big thing, and we love giving back to the community,” Pallitto said.

Winners will be chosen in May and the scholarship will be awarded at the June meeting of the Hazlet Business Owners Association.

Visit www.hazletboa.org to download the application for the scholarship.

HAZLET TOWNSHIP — Raritan High School’s Family and Consumer Science Department offers courses in culinary arts. Classes are offered which give future res-taurant owners, chefs, and nutritionists a chance at the skills necessary for success-ful careers; as well as the student interested in learning about foods.

Culinary Arts 1 and 2 prepares students to understand the principles of food prepa-ration, safety, sanitation, management, and consumerism used in the home and food industry. The curricula are designed for the students who are interested in under-standing the mechanics and chemistry of nutrition, as well as maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Certain scientific topics are discussed, with the main goal of providing ways to improve the overall health of individuals and fami-lies. The courses provide capabilities to research and discover the most typical and unique career opportu-nities in the food service/culinary arts industry. The average Raritan student learns healthy eating choic-es, and proper preparation which they can use for the rest of their lives.

Describing what the students learn in the class-room, senior Paige McCann

said, “We really learn what it is to work together in a kitchen setting.”

The room itself is divided into five dif-ferent work stations that each resembles a fully functional kitchen. When asked about the Culinary Arts experience, senior Kevin Furlong said, “We learn how to cook new and interesting recipes from appetiz-ers to desserts.”

“Not only do we prepare recipes, we eat our ‘work’ and share the responsibility of preparing, cooking and cleaning-just like a family would,” senior Sean Bowe said,

“It is a fun and productive course, be-cause it is a life skill which we all need,” junior Will Linson concluded.

ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS BOROUGH — The Henry Hudson Trail sits atop what used to be the rails of the Central Railroad of New Jersey that brought thousands of visitors to the North Jersey Shore each summer.

Today the tracks are gone, replaced by a bike and walking path. Unlike the origi-nal tracks that ran continuously along the Shore down to Long Branch, the Henry Hudson Trail today stops in Atlantic High-lands.

However, with the assistance of a grant, users of the Henry Hudson Trail will be glad to hear they can now ride or walk all the way from Aberdeen to Highlands without ever leaving the trail. Under a new program known as “Share the Road,” re-cently adopted by the mayor and borough council, people using the Henry Hudson Trail will now be able to walk or ride on Avenue D and turn east onto Center Av-enue.

“For many years, the borough has been working to establish the missing link of the Bayshore/Henry Hudson Trail,” Atlan-tic Highlands Mayor Frederick Rast said. “Now, with the aid from many different government agencies the plan has come to fruition.”

Recently, the mayor and council passed a resolution to adopt the “Share the Road” program for portions of Avenue D and Center Avenue, but that was the final re-quirement for the plan that has been in the works for over a year. In 2010, Atlantic Highlands applied for a FY2011 New Jer-sey Department of Transportation, Bureau of Local Aid Bikeway Program Grant for more improvements to the Bayshore Trail.

Recently, the governor’s office informed the borough that they would receive $150,000 to build the trail extension. The Atlantic Highlands grant was one of 12 awarded from a pool of 95 applicants.

With the grant, West Avenue between Center Avenue and Bay Avenue will be resurfaced, and signs designating the route will be erected.

“The borough administrator, Adam Hubeny, has been working with Robert Werkmeister of the New Jersey Depart-ment of Transportation, Spence Wickham of the Monmouth County Park System and David Marks of T&M Associates of Middletown to make this a reality,” Rast said.

There is no parking on the south side of Center Avenue so this was a good area to post the “Share the Road” signs. “Monmouth County Park officials, our

administrator and Police Chief Jerry Vasto reviewed the route and found it to be ac-ceptable for the program,” Rast said.

“Once again, here was an opportunity to work with state, county, local and engi-neering officials to get the money in place and really make this happen,” Hubeny said. “We worked as a team to accomplish the same goal.”

The project is scheduled to begin once the grant paperwork is in order and Mother Nature cooperates. Once the improvement is completed and the “Share the Road” route is established by roadway markings and signs, the Henry Hudson Trail will be linked with the Bayshore Trail. The bor-

ough is hoping the work will be complete by this summer.

“The missing link will be no more,” Rast said. “This is what happens when multiple agencies work together for a common goal. We are very grateful to our partners for their work on this most impor-tant project.”

More work is planned for the Henry Hudson Trail that will eventually enable trail users along the entire North Jersey Shore on foot or on bikes. In the future, the Monmouth County Parks System plans to connect where the trail currently ends at Pompora Point in Highlands with the newly reconstructed Highlands Bridge.

ABERDEEN TOWNSHIP — Inside ev-ery person, in one place or the other, burn our passions, our dreams, the stuff our lives should be made of. From the modest yearnings of normal people spawn some-times intrepid metamorphoses that others only wish they could find tangible.

For these people who have the guts and talent to make their passions a reality, they undoubtedly have found within themselves certain indelible qualities that they could not live without, powerful but latent traits that once uncovered from the attics of their hearts gripped them in a way nothing else could.

In this case, keep in mind that the next time someone takes your picture, it could be Manny T. Carabel, founder of MTC Pho-tography. A police officer since 1993, and a detective in Aberdeen since 2001, Cara-bel’s keen, detailed eye for crime shines through in his crossover ability to genu-inely capture the most precious moments of our lives, as he has used the mechanics and discipline from his successful career in law enforcement as the building blocks for a new business founded upon a passion for photography he has had since childhood.

Carabel explained there are two things he focuses on most, meticulous attention to detail, but more importantly getting to know the people he takes pictures of. Be it a wedding, bar mitzvah, or even the mo-ment you propose to your loved one in the

middle of Central Park, Carabel discreetly captures your finest moments both through skill with the camera and understanding the people he photographs.

Perhaps it was the intimacy brought on by a fascination with taking family pho-tos with his Vivitar 110 film camera as a youngster that made Carabel pay attention to his clients on a personal level. Maybe it was while in the Navy, as he captured rivet-ing landscapes and met with diverse people all across the world. Perhaps it is his detec-tive work that inspires close interpersonal relations as he runs his fine-toothed comb across the events and people he researches while he helps keep us safe.

Whatever the original impetus may have been, Carabel takes pride in a personal con-nection with his clients. “I think what best describes us being unique in comparison to others is that we get to know our clients on a personal level,” Carabel said.

It is this personal connection that Cara-bel feels has accounted most for his success as a photographer as it has enabled him to use his understanding of each person to capture the elements of a scene that hold the essence of the people in the moment, hence the acronym of his business MTC, “Moments to Capture.”

As the nature of his police work is inherently hazardous, his enthusiasm for fighting crime has helped shape the emergence of his much less dangerous pro-fessional photography entrepreneurship. Trained in Digital Forensic Photography at the University of Tennessee and in Profes-

sional Digital Photography at the New York Institute of Photography, Carabel has also studied Wedding and Portrait Photography and lighting techniques and is a member of the WPPI and the DWF (Wedding Portrait and Professional Photographers International and the Digital Wedding Forum).

Among MTC’s most nota-ble clients are Maureen “The Real Million Dollar Baby” Shea (NABF Featherweight Champion), A.Lewins (Red Bank resident and up-and-coming recording artist), Kim Granatell (“Real Housewives of NJ”), Tom Murro (founder of Celebrity-Magnet.com) and Donnella Tilery (founder of New Jer-sey Fashion Week). While not necessarily clients, MTC’s reach has extended as far as photographing presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, includ-

ing Air Force One arrivals and departures.

Founded in 2008, MTC Photography has been bring-ing in clients by giving them what they ask for, great pic-tures that reflect who they are and how they want to remem-ber their lives. Captured in a moment’s imprint by the de-tailed eye of a detective, your photo will be captured within the lens of a professional who understands who you are and what you are looking for.

While so many of us procrastinate and wait for tomorrow to fully delve into the things that truly make us happy, it is with great appreciation that MTC Photography’s clients thank Carabel for taking the plunge in 2008 and bringing to them the venerable fruit of his pho-tographic passions.

For more information about Carabel or MTC Photography, contact him at 732-450-0119 and visit his website www.mcarabelphotography.com.

The center plays a vital role in pro-viding for the elderly community by helping with everything from free transportation, delicious meals for the elderly, live entertainment, health care and most importantly a great place for the elderly to socialize.

The event was put together by the

owners of Community Publications, Cliff Moore and Vin Gopal, with assis-tance from Victor Scudiery, chairman of the center’s board and John McCarthy, vice chairman of the board.

The fundraiser featured great food, fun company and even prizes for just a donation cost of $25. So far this year, over $3,500 has been raised for the Bayshore Senior Center through various efforts.

MONMOUTH COUNTY — Local boys will get an opportunity to experience the ins and outs of government during a weeklong American Legion Boys State program to be held at Rider University from June 19 to June 24.

There are a number of local American Legion Posts throughout Monmouth County that participate in the Boys State Program, American Legion Raritan Post 23 in Keyport being one of them.

Fifty or more delegates from Monmouth County will be chosen to participate in this program.

The guidelines for Boys State par-ticipation include only males who have successfully completed their junior year of high school and have at least one se-mester of high school remaining. Any young man who has previously attended Boys State is not eligible to attend a sec-ond session, and only young men with outstanding qualities of leadership, char-acter, scholarship, loyalty and service to their schools are considered to participate in the program.

“This is a non-political program de-signed to teach the delegates the basics of government and the election process,” Ken Connors, American Legion Keyport Raritan Post 23 Boys State Chairman, said. “When the boys first arrive each statesman is designated as a member of either the Nationalist or Federalist Party.”

The boys select candidates for various offices and positions such as mayor, po-lice chief, town administrators, heads of dept. of public works, etc. and appoint selected candidates.

Throughout the week the boys form platforms for their parties at the local, county, and state levels to address the

difficult public policy issues they are con-fronted with. They are also encouraged to incorporate issues from their own home-towns, backgrounds, and general current events.

The boys manage campaigns, hold or-ganized debates, elect their leaders and begin the process of implementing their ideas through drafting, debating and en-acting legislation.

“I meet with the high school guidance counselors to discuss the Boys State Program. We review the transcripts of po-tential candidates, who must have at least a B average to qualify for the program, and jointly select the delegates,” Connors said. “I will be contacting the schools in April to discuss the program.”

Last year, there were four delegates from Keyport High School and one del-egate from Rumson/Fair Haven High School. These delegates were sponsored by the American Legion Raritan Post 23 with co-sponsorship from the Keyport Kiwanis Club, Scudiery Enterprises/IEI, Community Publications and the Mon-mouth County Democrats.

There is no cost associated with attend-ing the session to any of the delegates other than the purchase of the Boys State shirt.

Recently appointed as Boys State Monmouth County Chairman is Vincent Solomeno, who is a 1st Lieutenant in the New Jersey National Guard Reserves and the curator at the Sea Girt Museum. Solo-meno attended Boys State and has been a great advocate for the program.

The American Legion Jersey Boys State has been around since June 1935 and every year the program continuously pro-gresses. Since 1946 over 55,000 of New Jersey’s finest high school students have participated in the Jersey Boys State Pro-gram according to http://www.aljbs.org/.

Probably everyone has wished theycould get their bodies to do what they didwhen they were younger. Oh, the energy,the flexibility, the strength we all had!And, for anyone with an aching back(which pretty much includes everyone),this wish is especially true. But all is notlost. There is a way to improve your backhealth and that’s by exercising.

“Improving your back health is one ofthe simplest fitness goals to reach,” BillTevin, Eastpointe Health & Fitness per-sonal trainer and certified strength andconditioning specialist, said. “It startswith diagnosing the problem correctlyand then customizing a training and ex-ercise program that fits your particularback issue.”

Exercise, you say. Really? Whatabout bed rest? According to research,bed rest is completely ineffective in im-proving function in most cases of lowback pain. What about putting ice or heaton your back? Similarly, the use of iceand/or heat has not been proven to haveany positive effect on low-back pain.Okay, then what about medication? Var-ious medications may reduce the acutepain one experiences, but they don’t ad-dress underlying weaknesses and imbal-ances that are typically causing theperiods of back pain and immobility.

Then exercise it is. In fact, the NationalInstitutes of Health states that exercise islikely the most effective tool for both thetreatment of low back pain and preven-tion of its recurrence. Appropriate exer-cise can help strengthen the muscles thatsupport the spine, correct imbalances that

affect posture, and improve flexibility tominimize stress on the back during every-day activities.

Low back pain and injury, however, isa common reason that individuals decidenot to exercise, or delay the start of an ex-ercise program. This lack of activity willthen create further weakness in manycases, placing us at greater risk for futurepain and injury, causing a repetitive cycleand sending us into a downward spiral.And no one wants that!

To help improve “our aching backs”EPH&F has instituted a Back Health Pro-gram designed to get our backs, back ontrack. For $199, the program includes achiropractic consultation, half-hour mas-sage and posture check, in depth fitnessassessment by a certified personal trainer,customized starter exercise program in-struction, one month full gym member-ship and integrated chiropractic andfitness recommendations.

“When I work with a patient with lowback pain, I first determine what thecauses are through a chiropractic exami-nation,” Dr. Jay Mazzella, of EastpointeChiropractic, said. “Depending on theirlevel of pain and the intensity of the prob-lem, I recommend a course of treatmentwhich almost always includes exercise.Sometimes a patient can start exercisingright away and sometimes they have toapproach exercising gradually. We havephysical therapists on staff for supervisedexercise. Either way, exercise is the keyto better back health.”

So let’s get exercising and get ourbacks back on track by signing up for theBack Health Program. For more informa-tion, visit www.EastpointeHealthandFit-ness.com or call 732-872-6595.

Get your back ‘back tohealth’ by exercising

HAZLET TOWNSHIP — On Monday March 1, 2010, the Hazlet Township Board of Education agreed to enter into a Power Purchase Agreement with Ray Angelini, Inc. and Nautilus Solar Energy, LLC for the provision of solar power. The district, along with these two companies, designed the solar generating system, including roof top solar panels, ground arrays and parking canopies at three schools.

Raritan High School has rooftop and parking canopies that will produce 809,000 kilowatts of electricity, Hazlet Middle School has rooftop and ground mounted solar systems that will produce 437,000 kilowatts and the Lillian Drive School’s parking canopies will produce 93,000 kilo-watts for a grand total of almost 1.4 million kilowatts.

The rooftop systems at both schools are now completed. The parking lot canopies have been erected and the solar panels are in the process of being installed. Instal-lation of the ground arrays at the Hazlet Middle School began on March 12, 2011. Once everything is completed in mid-April, the system will produce over 20 million kilowatts of electricity and save the district $1.7 million over the next fifteen years.

“Hazlet will save $118,000 in the first

year alone. We are going to see an 18 per-cent reduction in the district’s electrical costs next year,” Dr. William O. George III, Superintendent of Schools, said. “We spent over two years planning this project and a year designing and installing the system. The Board of Education looks forward to the significant energy benefits of this project when it comes on-line next month.”

Unlike most solar installations for school districts across the state, Hazlet is not paying for the system, expected to cost ap-proximately $7.5 million. Under the terms and conditions of the contract, Nautilus Solar Energy, LLC is financing the system, while Ray Angelini, Inc. is completing the installation at the three schools and is re-sponsible for maintaining the system upon completion. The school district has com-mitted to purchasing all of the electricity the system produces at a rate significantly below market cost.

“This was an excellent opportunity for our district,” Marleen O’Connor, Board of Education president, said. “We are proud to be one of the first districts in the state to complete this eco-friendly project, while saving a significant amount of money, at no cost to our community.”

Looking forward, the district has re-

ceived School Development Authority grants to replace the roofs at the Raritan Valley and Lillian Drive Schools this sum-mer. Once these roofs are replaced, the district will design their next power

purchase agreement to bring alternative energy to more of its schools.

“The success of this project has led to the plans expanding solar energy at all of the district’s facilities,” George said.

FREEHOLD BOROUGH – Spring is the season when New Jersey’s fourth graders study the state of New Jer-sey as part of their social studies curriculum.

Monmouth County’s Constitutional Officers – Sur-rogate Rosemarie D. Peters, County Clerk M. Claire French and County Sheriff Shaun Golden – are inviting Monmouth County’s fourth graders to help showcase what they like best about Monmouth County by hav-ing the students create posters that fit the theme “My County.”

“The design and content of a poster is up to a fourth graders imagination,” Peters said. “The artwork can de-pict something special and unique to Monmouth County including our county government. I look forward to see-ing some of Monmouth County’s best features depicted in this youthful perspective.”

Rules for the contest are straightforward: • Posters must be on standard 22-inch by 28-inch

poster board • The words “Monmouth County” must appear at the

top of the poster in 4-inch letters with black marker. • The student’s name, teacher’s name and school must

be printed neatly in the lower right-hand corner on the back of the poster.

“The best part of this poster contest is that our lo-cal fourth graders can gain an understanding of what county government does each and every day,” French said.

“The county is responsible for road maintenance, jails, mortgages and deed recording, voting procedures, protection of the rights of minors, parks, libraries, and much more,” Golden said. “Our county winners always impress us with their knowledge of the county and their ability to relay their thoughts artistically.”

Posters must be mailed or delivered to the Monmouth County Surrogate’s Office no later than Friday, April 22 at One East Main St., Room 118, Freehold, N.J. 07728.

Invitations to participate in the contest have been sent to all Monmouth County school principals. Information about the contest is available on the county website.

First-, second- and third-place winners will be select-ed. Each winning fourth-grade artist will receive a prize and be invited to the Surrogate’s Office in Freehold for a photo session with the surrogate, sheriff and county clerk.

The contest is sponsored statewide by the Con-stitutional Officers Association of New Jersey to commemorate National County Government Month in April.

Constitutional Officers Association members in each of the New Jersey’s 21 counties will select a winning poster from the entries in their county.

All posters become the property of the Constitutional Officers Association and the County of Monmouth; selected posters may also appear on a published cal-endar. Submission of a poster grants the Constitutional Officers Association permission to display a poster in public places.

For details about the poster contest, log onto www.visitmonmouth.com or contact Kathy Reitsma in the Surrogate’s Office at 732-431-7330, Ext. 7331.

When an elderly family mem-ber enters a nursing home, herfamily is frequently given incor-rect or misleading information.Most people enter nursing homesafter a short hospital stay.

For instance, Mrs. Smith willfall at home and break her hip.She will be taken to the hospitaland, eventually, have surgery tomend her broken hip. From thehospital, she will be discharged toa local nursing home for rehabil-itation.

Most rehabilitation facilitiesare nursing homes. I cannot tellyou how many clients say to me“Mom is in a rehabilitation facility and isgoing to a nursing home.” The fact of thematter is the rehabilitation center is a nursinghome.

Once Mrs. Smith is finished with rehabil-itation, she may be incapable of returninghome due to her physical or mental limita-tions. If Mrs. Smith has money, the nursinghome will be happy to keep her. If Mrs.Smith does not have money, the nursinghome may tell Mrs. Smith or her family that

it does not have a “Medicaidbed” or that their “Medicaidwaiting list” is two years long.

The fact of the matter is,once Mrs. Smith is in the nurs-ing home, whether for rehabil-itation or custodial long-termcare, she is a resident of thenursing home. No matter howmany times the nursinghome’s staff tells Mrs. Smithfamily that the facility doesnot have a Medicaid bed, thetruth is that the facility doeshave a Medicaid bed, the bedthat Mrs. Smith is currentlylying in.

In most New Jersey nursing homes, everybed in the facility is dually certified forMedicare (which pays for rehabilitation) andMedicaid (which pays for long-term custo-dial care). The facility might not like it ifMrs. Smith or her family stick to their gunsand insist on not moving Mrs. Smith out ofthe facility, particularly if Mrs. Smith has nomoney and will be a Medicaid resident, butthe fact remains that the facility must retainher.

What about the Medicaid wait list? Can’tthe nursing home say that Mrs. Smith is laston their two-year Medicaid waiting list?

A Medicaid waiting list is like a unicorn.Both the Medicaid waiting list and the uni-corn do not exist. They are myths. It’ssomething the staff of a nursing facility saysto a family member to scare them.

It’s like going to a bank and asking theloan officer for a loan, and he tells you hehas to take up your loan with the bank’s loancommittee. There is no loan committee. Hemakes the decisions. It’s just easier for himto say no when he tells you later that the loancommittee rejected your request.

Another major issue with nursing homesis the paperwork that the facility asks Mrs.Smith or, more frequently, her family tosign. This paperwork, which the facilitycalls the entrance agreement, should becalled the “we-need-someone-else-to-sue”agreement.

There are only six reasons why a nursingfacility can discharge a residence (for in-stance, if Mrs. Smith poses a danger to otherresidents, if Mrs. Smith poses a danger toherself and the facility is not equipped tohandle her needs, if the facility closes, if

Mrs. Smith fails to pay after being given ad-equate notice), and failure to sign the facil-ity’s contract is not a reason why the nursinghome can evict a resident.

There is a law that the facility must pres-ent a contract to Mrs. Smith, but there is norequirement that Mrs. Smith must sign thecontract. As stated, the facility cannot evictMrs. Smith if neither she nor her family re-fuses to sign the contract.

My advice to family members, if asked,is, don’t sign that contract under any circum-stances. Sometimes family members requestthat I review these contacts. I always refuse,because nursing homes will not modify theiragreements in any meaningful manner andthere is no reason to sign the agreementsince the facility cannot compel the residentor her family to sign it.

Now that spring is here, you may findit easier to get outside to run, bike or takepart in other physical pursuits that youenjoy. As you know, the moreactive you are, the more effi-ciently your body will work.And the same can hold truefor your investments: Themore exercise they get, themore potential to work onyour behalf.

Just how do investmentsget “exercise”? Through lotsof activity. And you can keepyour investments active in atleast two ways: through sys-tematic investing and divi-dend reinvestment. Let’s takea look at both these tech-niques.

When you engage in systematic in-vesting, commonly called “dollar costaveraging,” you are continually puttingyour money “in motion.” Essentially,

you put the same amount of money intothe same investments at regular inter-vals. For example, you might decide to

invest $100 per month inCompany ABC stock. To im-pose this investment disci-pline on yourself, you couldeven have the money sent di-rectly from your checking orsavings account.

Of course, since the priceof ABC stock, like those ofall stocks, is constantlychanging, your $100 invest-ment will most likely buydifferent numbers of shareseach month. This can workto your advantage, becausewhen the stock price of ABCgoes down, your $100 will

buy more shares. When the price goesup, you’ll automatically be a smartenough “shopper” to buy fewer shares,just as you’d typically buy less of some-

thing when its price goes up.Over time, systematic investing typi-

cally results in a lower average cost pershare than if you were to make sporadiclump-sum investments. If you can lowerthe cost of investing, this may help boostyour investment returns. This also can bean effective way to fund your retirementaccount(s) each year. (Keep in mind,though, that systematic investing doesnot guarantee a profit or protect againstloss. Also, you’ll need the financial re-sources available to keep investingthrough up and down markets.)

Dividend reinvestment is similar tosystematic investing in that it allows youto build more shares of an investment.But when you reinvest dividends, youdon’t even have to take money fromother sources to increase your shares —you simply request that a stock or a mu-tual fund, instead of paying you a divi-dend in cash, reinvest the dividend intothat same stock or mutual fund. It’s an

effortless way of adding shares. Similar to dollar cost averaging, divi-

dend reinvestment imposes investmentdiscipline — you automatically keepputting money in the market during upand down periods. (Don’t forget, though,that dividends can be increased, de-creased or eliminated at any point with-out notice.)

Exercising your investment dollars inthese ways can help you go a long waytoward keeping your portfolio in goodshape — enabling you to make healthyprogress toward your important long-term goals.
