ark Hanuka or
Hanukkah or Chan-
ukah spell it any
way youd like, there is no one
right way to spell a Hebrew
word that contains a
sound not found in Eng-
lish is the Jewish Festi-
val of Lights. Many
mistakenly think that it
is the Jewish Christmas,
but that is not the case;
other than occurring at
the same time of the
year and both involving
gift giving these two
holidays have nothing
to do with each other. So what
is Hanukah? The word
Hanukah actually translates as
dedication and it recalls the
miraculous military victory of
the pious Macabees over the
Hellenists that were restricting
Jewish life in ancient Israel.
When the Macabees won they
re-dedicated the Temple in
Jerusalem to the service of God,
hence the name of the holiday.
There is a legend that as the
Macabees prepared the Temple
they only found one cruise of oil
fit to be used to light the Meno-
rah for one day, but that they lit
it anyway and it miraculously
burned for eight days until more
oil was available for the Meno-
rah. This is why
Hanukah is known as
the Festival of Lights
and is commemorated
with the lighting of a
Hanukiyah, a nine-
branched candelabra to
commemorate the eight-
day holiday.
The annual obser-
vance of Hanukah re-
minds us to remain
dedicated and true to God. The
light of the Hanukah candles re-
minds us that miracles can hap-
pen. Recalling the Macabees

Christmas is clearly
upon us. And each year it
seems to come earlier and ear-
lier. This year, a New
York City radio sta-
tion was playing 24/7
Christmas music by
the end of November.
Those who shopped
in malls were hearing
the sounds of Christ-
mas long before the
meals were being
made for Thanksgiv-
ing.
What is Christmas? It
must mean something more
than just a consumer free-for-all
that engulfs our culture for the
last month of every year. But
how do we untangle that which
is the core of Christmas and
that which has been appended
to it (such as Santa Claus and
reindeer) as the years have pro-
gressed?
Obviously, the best place
to turn to is the source. Though
the celebration of December
25th was several hundred years
in the making, the focus of the
celebration has very clear
source material. In the pages of
scripture, we see what the
events of the first Christmas
were and why we still
celebrate that night
thousands of years
later.
Most of us are aware
of the story of Christ-
mas. The baby Jesus is
born in Bethlehem to
a young, newly married
Jewish couple - Joseph
and Mary. But this is
no normal birth. Mary,
a virgin, is told by an angel that
the baby conceived in her is
from the Holy Spirit (Matthew
1:20). This miracle happened

N
eurodevelopmental
treatment (NDT) is
an internationally
utilized and recognized ther-
apy for children with motor
impairments practiced by ex-
perienced physical therapists,
occupational therapists and
speech language therapists.
The concept of NDT was first
developed by Dr. and Mrs.
Berta Bobath in the 1940s
and has been used by thera-
pists worldwide, continually
evolving as new information
on the movement sciences
occur. NDT trained therapists
work collaboratively with
children, family and doctors
to develop treatment pro-
grams based on principles of
neurology and physiology.
Neurodevel opmental
treatment is a hands on ap-
proach used to work with
children who have an insult
to the central nervous system.
This insult creates difficulty
with posture and movement
resulting in functional activ-
ity limitations. Children
with central nervous disorders
typically have a very limited
repertoire of movement or
poverty of movement and can
only move in a very limited
way. The aim of treatment is
to assist the child in develop-
ing new movement strategies
while limiting abnormal pos-
tures so that he or she is able
to adapt to the environment
by improving the efficiency
and normalcy of his or her
movements. A great empha-
sis is placed on therapeutic
handling which focuses on
making desired movements
more prevalent and prevent-
ing undesirable movements.
Undesirable movements can
produce secondary problems
that can impede progress to-
ward functional goals. The ul-
timate goal of NDT
treatment is to optimize func-
tion, minimize impairment
and prevent disability. This
increase in function will im-
prove the childs independ-
ence and better their quality
of life.
Individuals who have
minimal to severe motor dif-
ficulty can greatly benefit
from this type of treatment
which includes:

J
ohnny Carson, as his fa-
mous character, Carnac
the Magnificent, where
he played a psychic who clair-
voyantly divined the answer
to a question or two which
were hermetically sealed in
an envelope he placed at his
forehead, would have an-
swered Legacy and Currency
to the Ed McMahon question,
Name two things you leave
behind when you die?
What legacy will you
leave behind? What will peo-
ple say about you at your fu-
neral? In conversation on this
subject, I suggest that people
take their internet Smart
Phone into the cemetery to
look-up the names on some
headstones to see what, if any-
thing, they did in their life
that was worth recording and
finding on a Google Search.
In virtually all of the cases,
the search would yield no re-
sults other than an obituary,
perhaps. What would yours
say? A little intimidated by
the question? Why not find
out for yourself by searching
your name on Google or any
browser right now and see
what comes up. If nothing ap-
pears, fear not, for you arent
dead yet and theres still time
to do or accomplish some-
thing that could add to or be a
part of your legacy. Can you
think of any ideas, activities,
strategies or opportunities
that could be note-worthy?
Perhaps you could organize a
fundraiser to help find a cure
for a dreaded disease or help
feed the hungry or get spon-
sorship for a cycle or
walkathon for the same rea-
sons. You could be an organ
donor or bone-marrow donor,
even simply a plasma or blood
donor (or organize a Blood
Drive in your town) or even
something less invasive like
becoming a hospital volun-
teer; the list of opportunities
is remarkable!
There are basically two
kinds of charitable donors,
those who give of their time
and those who give of their
money and some who can af-
ford to do both. Regardless, of
whether you have the ability
to enjoy a lifetime of giving or
giving a large sum once in
your life, that, could create a
legacy captured on the World
Wide Web for eternity. For
those people buried under the
headstones where no search
results were found, is it possi-
ble that their legacy was the
following? Here lies John
Doe, the only thing he left
behind was a filled-up septic
tank, after all, that is the only
evidence history recorded of
his life.
How important is your
legacy to you? Its the final
statement of your life, its the
last impression you get to
leave behind. If youre wor-
ried about how you will be
judged by humanity (or sim-
ply how you will be remem-
bered), perhaps you will be
motivated to do something
extraordinary while theres
still time left! You are still
ALIVE! Alas, it is not hu-
manity that will judge you in
your eternal life; that scale of
justice will certainly be meas-
ured differently by the
Almighty and I would think
that a good life here on earth
would weigh in heavily over
the next phase of your jour-
ney.
The other answer
Carnac stated was currency.
Money left behind is also a
legacy where most of the time
the benefactors are the chil-
dren of the deceased; children
reflect kindly on their parents
who endow them with a for-
tune, especially if it were un-
encumbered by the IRS and
the State Division of Taxa-
tion. Properly drawn estate
planning legal documents are
the first defense from the
Forced Charity imposed by
government taxation of a life-
times worth of saving and in-
vesting. The next way to
insure a sizeable amount of
currency for your loved ones
is to purchase a fortune of
life insurance, to either pay
the taxes on your fortune or
to create the fortune itself,
tax-free.
Remember Ralph Kram-
den, played by the late, great,
Jackie Gleason when he was
named in a Will to receive
one of his deceased passengers
Fortune, which later turned
out to be a bird, complete
with cage and Ralph and Nor-
ton both passed-out in shock?
After all, they were told that

reminds us of the importance of
fighting for what we believe in,
for religious freedom. As Amer-
icans we have much to be grate-
ful for we live in a free nation
that promotes religious toler-
ance; but with freedom comes
responsibility. We need to sup-
port our troops that defend these
freedoms around the globe. We
need to help those who live in
other parts of the world that do
not have these freedoms, most
notably many African nations.
And we need to share the

worked hard, got a good job, re-
mained married for 30 years,
raised a beautiful daughter,
cared for elderly parents, took
modest vacations and bought a
home within their means.
Then Karen Granelli got sick,
an aneurism and subsequent
stroke, and in time they had ex-
hausted their medical insurance
coverage, their 401K retirement
plan, and because Karen got
sick and was unable to work, the
Granellis income was reduced
substantially. Their house is
now in foreclosure and Joe had
to declare bankruptcy due to
over-whelming medical bills. If
not tragic enough, Sarah, their
22 year old daughter, had to
drop out of Seton Hall Univer-
sity with only a year to go be-
cause they couldnt afford the
tuition. Now, since she is not a
full time student, she must begin
to pay her student loans.
This is a situation which
could happen to anyone. Peo-
ple who know the Granelli fam-
ily know that over the years
they were always available to
help others. Now it is time to
help them. Montville UNICO
Foundation has established a
Sarah Granelli Scholarship
Fund in an effort to raise
money to eliminate Sarahs edu-
cational debt and allow her to
return to Seton Hall and finish
her studies. Friends and anyone
wishing to contribute can send a
check made payable to
Montville UNICO Founda-
tion, PO Box 788, Montville,

go to pay for Sarahs educational
expenses and eliminate a part of

or some people, the
pain from sciatica can
be severe or debilitat-
ing. For others, the pain
might be infrequent or irritat-
ing. Either way, sciatica af-
fects a large percentage of
todays population and if not
managed properly can dimin-
ish ones quality of life. Many
believe that sciatica is the re-
sult of a particular event or
trauma, however, sciatica is
more commonly a result of
general wear and tear on the
structures of the lower spine.
Sciatica will usually only
affect one side of the lower
body. The pain that results
from sciatica often radiates
from the lower back into the
back of the thigh (hamstring)
and down through the leg
(calf) and potentially into the
foot and toes Sciatica may
not only present as pain, but
may be accompanied by tin-
gling and/or numbness de-
pending on the amount of
pressure or irritation on the
nerve roots that lead to the
sciatic nerve. This irritation
of the nerve root is called
radiculopathy and is responsi-
ble for the symptoms we com-
monly call sciatica. The large
sciatic nerve is formed by in-
dividual nerve roots exiting
out from the spine in the
lower back and merging to-
gether into one common
nerve. As the sciatic nerve
descends, branches from the
nerve extend through the
buttocks and down the back
of each leg and into the ankle
and foot. Depending on
which nerve root is affected
or at which point the sciatic
nerve is compromised, one or
all of the following symptoms
may occur:
Constant moderate to se-
vere lower back pain
Pain in the buttocks or leg
that worsens when sitting,
sneezing, and/or coughing.
Tightness in the buttocks or
hamstring that is not relieved
with stretching
Burning or tingling down
the leg
Weakness, numbness or dif-
ficulty moving leg, foot, or
toes
Lower back pain and/or leg
pain that is relieved with po-
sition.
Inability to straighten up
due to pain.
The most common cause
of sciatica are bulging and
herniated discs in the spine
pressing against the nerve
roots that lead to the sciatic
nerve. Other less common
conditions that causes sciat-

M
atthew graduated with honors from New York
University in 1997 and began a satisfying career in
orthopedics specializing in spine rehabilitation. Ever
keen to learn and do more for his patients Matthew began
studying diligently for his certification in Orthopedic Manual
Therapy. This training exposed him to the concept of
Maitland Australian therapy, the Maitland Concept is referred
to as a concept and not as a technique. Emphasis is placed
not on the technique of treatment but on a basic philosophy-
a thought and decision making process, involving analytical
examination and assessment on which treatment decisions are
based.
Matthew has also had the thrill of studying with world-
renowned therapists Brian Mulligan and David Butler, further
expanding his clinical skills into more diverse orthopedic and
nerve injury treatments. Not to be missed, Matthew also
trained in the McKenzie Diagnosis and treatment of the spine.
Matthew believes the combination of this training and
education in the Australian, New Zealand and American
treatment strategies have allowed him to provide broader
range of treatment options thereby helping more patients.
Matthew has been a Director of Physical Therapy for 8
years, helping develop spine and sports clinics into leaders in
their respective communities. He is excited and eager to bring
his skills to the Advanced Sports Medicine & Physical

s 2011 winds down
theres less uncertainty
about the short-term
outlook for tax law than we had
at the end of last year. With this
temporary clarity comes the op-
portunity to create a sound tax-
saving plan and the time to
put your plan into action. Here
are several strategies to consider.
Reduce AGI to qualify for tax
breaks
Reducing your adjusted
gross income could increase eli-
gibility for income-limited de-
ductions and credits.
The standard deduction
for 2011 is $11,600 when youre
married filing jointly ($5,800
when youre single). When your
itemized deductions; that is, ex-
penses you pay for medical care,
mortgage interest, taxes, chari-
table contributions, casualty
losses, and miscellaneous deduc-
tions, are close to that amount,
advance payments could save
you tax dollars. For example,
you can choose to make your
final estimated state income tax
payment in December instead
of January. Since itemized de-
ductions are no longer limited
by your income, timing the pay-
ment of expenses might be more
beneficial than you expect.
Theres another reason to
double-check deductions: your
alternative minimum tax
(AMT) exposure. Certain ex-
penses, including state taxes
and medical costs, are reduced
or eliminated under AMT rules.
The AMT calculation also
eliminates the standard deduc-
tion. In some cases, you may
save money if you claim item-
ized deductions even if they
total less than your standard de-
duction.
Reap tax benefits with retire-
ment savings
When it comes to retire-
ment saving, rule number one is
to contribute the maximum
amount allowed every year.
For 2011, the IRA contribution
limit is $5,000, and those 50
and older can contribute
$6,000. Participants in a 401(k)
plan can contribute as much as
$16,500 ($22,000 if 50 or
older).
Did you know you can
make IRA contributions for
your spouse when youre work-
ing and your spouse is not? For
2011, the maximum spousal
IRA contribution is the lesser of
$5,000 or your combined
earned income. You can add an
additional $1,000 when your
spouse is over age 50.
If youre self-employed, es-
tablishing a retirement plan
such as a SEP or a SIMPLE
means a current-year tax deduc-
tion in addition to tax-deferred
growth. For 2011, you can con-
tribute 25% of your salary to a
SEP plan, up to a maximum
contribution of $49,000. The
maximum SIMPLE contribu-
tion is $11,500, plus an addi-
tional $2,500 as a catch-up
contribution if youre over age
50. A federal tax credit may also
be available up to $500 for
each of the first three years of
your new plan. Remember,
credits reduce your tax bill dol-
lar for dollar.
Review support provided for
relatives
While planning to maxi-
mize deductions, remember to
take into account the financial
support you provide for rela-
tives. Potential tax breaks in-
clude dependency exemptions,
head-of-household filing status,
medical deductions, and the de-
pendent care tax credit. Gener-
ally, youll need to provide over
half of your relatives living ex-
penses.
What if you dont provide
more than 50% of support for
your relative? You could enter
into an arrangement with other
family members who provide
help, or you could shift assets
you would dispose of anyway to
pay for the support. You would
then be shifting the related in-
come and tax to your relative.
Heres an illustration of
asset and income shifting. In-
stead of selling stock at a gain
and using the proceeds to pay
for a parents living expenses,
gift the stock to your parent and

states that there are
four main unde lying
causes for canine allergy symp-
toms and effective dog allergy
treatment has been developed
for them. As all of those rea-
sons produce common symp-
toms, various tests may be
necessary to determine which
allergen is provoking a reac-
tion. Standard methods of
treatment are successful in
controlling most cases. Some
especially severe conditions
may require the use of steroids
or immunotherapy.
The two most common
causes of allergic reactions are
atopic, or inhalants,
mainly dust mites, pollen,
mold and mildew, and aller-
gens that are present in flea
saliva. The symptoms of an al-
lergy are most commonly
caused from inhaling an anti-
gen, or a substance which
causes the production of anti-
bodies. Studies show that in
excess of 40 percent of canines
react to the offending sub-
stances in flea bites.
Reasons that more rarely
produce responses are aller-
gies to food or of the skin. The
foods that are most likely to
cause symptoms are the same
foods that are the most com-
mon ingredients in commer-
cial food recipes. Certain
fungal infections, that is,
mange or ringworm, should be
ruled out if they are suspected.
Skin conditions that originate
from exposure to noxious sub-
stances are irritant or
allergic contact dermatitis.
These rare conditions are re-
sponses to irritating chemicals
or other antigens.
Complicating a specific
diagnosis as to exactly what
antigens are to blame, is the
fact that the same symptoms,
itching and skin problems,
characterize the different types
of disorders. Vomiting and di-
arrhea may indicate a food al-
lergy and continuing ear
problems or increased bowel
movements are other possible
signs. A food trial, in which
the pet is placed on a novel
food diet for twelve weeks, is
the method used to isolate the
food responsible.
Avoidance of the allergen
is a common strategy to reduce
symptoms for food, flea, atopic
and skin problems. By remov-
ing and then reintroducing
suspected allergens one at a
time, one may discover the
cause. Restricting ones pet to a
clean, uncarpeted room and
keeping them away from possi-
ble allergens is called an exclu-
sion trial. Slowly introducing
possible causes, including rub-
bing a substance such as grass
on the paw, will help to iden-
tify it.
The first step one can
take is to add Omega-3 fatty
acids to their pets
diet. This is fish or
flax oil and they
assist in reducing
the effects of hista-
mines, which are
responsible for the
itching and skin
conditions. If the
fatty acids do not
take effect in a few weeks, an-
tihistamine drugs, originally
designed for humans, can also
work for canines.
Topical therapy, which
involves treating the pets skin
with anti itch ointments,
shampoos, rinses or sprays
often have good results, but
these offer temporary relief.
Shampoos containing hydro-
cortisone are also used. Biotin,
a B vitamin, has also shown
positive results for some pets.
When none of the above
methods are adequate
for dog allergies treatment,
steroids produce good results,
but are not recommended for
long term use, because im-
mune or endocrine system
problems may develop over
time. Immunotherapy, involv-
ing allergy skin testing and a
series of injections, is a highly
successful approach for most
animals. This therapy takes a
dedicated pet owner, but re-
sults in significantly reduced
reactions to allergens.

to fulfill the prophecy of Isaiah
7:14, The virgin will be with
child and will give birth to a
son, and they will call him Im-
manuel. The place of His birth
is no coincidence either. The
prophets were clear that the
promised Messiah would be
born in Bethlehem (Micah
5:2). Joseph and Mary, after a
trip to Egypt to escape the
anger of Herod, make their res-
idence in Nazareth by the Sea
of Galilee - again, a fulfillment
of scripture (Isaiah 9:1-2).
So whats the big deal?
Apart from the miracle of a vir-
gin having a son, what is so
noteworthy to commemorate
Christmas over two thousand
years later? This is where the
scriptures come alive with ver-
ification for the joy that has
been celebrated all these years.
There is little debate over
the humanity of Jesus. Most
would agree that at the very
least, He was the worlds great-
est teacher. We see in Him a lu-
cidity of thought and morality
that is present in no other per-
son. As we look at Him in the
Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke
and John) it is difficult not to
walk away with a deep sense
that He was not just a good
man, but a perfect human.
But scripture does not
leave us there. It goes on to de-
scribe Jesus as not only a perfect
human, but also as God. This is
where we stumble in our mod-
ern times, but scripture is clear.
In Colossians 1:19, we read,
For God was pleased to have
all His fullness dwell in Jesus.
In Colossians 2:9 God tells us
that In Jesus, all the fullness of
the Deity lives in bodily form.
Jesus was not just a fully perfect
human, He was fully perfect
God. This is not just the writ-
ings of His followers. Jesus
claimed to be God (John
10:30) and asserted the attrib-
utes of God (Mark 2:5-12). In-
terestingly, this was foretold in
the scriptures in Isaiah 9:6.
Note in this familiar verse that
a child is born who will be
called Mighty God and Ever-
lasting Father. Both these
terms are used elsewhere in Isa-
iah as a reference to God (Isa-
iah 10:20-21 and 64:8). So, in
this verse we see God predict-
ing through Isaiah that the
Messiah would be both God
and man.
But again, we are left with
the question, So what. If we
take the scriptures at face value
we can clearly see that Jesus
was both God and man. What
is the celebration all about? In
order to understand that, we
must go back to Job.
Job 9:33-35 says in refer-
ence to his relationship with
God, If only there were some-
one to arbitrate between us, to
lay his hand upon us both,
someone to remove Gods rod
from me, so that His terror
would frighten me no more.
Then I would speak up without
fear of Him, but as it now
stands with me, I cannot.
Scripture teaches that our im-
perfections separate us from a
perfect God so that we are all in
Jobs dilemma - a desire to be in
relationship with God but with
no basis for that relationship.
That may seem appalling to
many but we are comforted
that God is also appalled by our
circumstances. In Isaiah 59:16,
God says that He saw that
there was no one, He was ap-
palled that there was no one to
intervene; so His own arm
worked salvation for Him and
His own righteousness sus-
tained Him. God was not sat-
isfied in leaving us in a hopeless
relationship. So He took on hu-
manity in the person of Jesus.
On that first Christmas day in
a manger, the desire of Job was
finally realized. Jesus, who
could represent humans (be-
cause He was fully human) and
God (because He was fully
God), was born to become the
perfect mediator. He lived the
perfect life that we cannot live
and He took on the punish-
ment that we deserved (we cel-
ebrate that on Good Friday). It
is through Jesus that we can re-
ceive righteousness (or a right
standing) before God.
How does that happen?
The same way that Abraham
received righteousness. Genesis
15:6 says that Abraham be-
lieved and it was credited to
him as righteousness. There is
nothing we can do that causes
God to owe us the righteous-
ness from Jesus. Instead, we
have to trust in Jesus - believe
He is who He said He is and
that what He did is sufficient to
cover our imperfections. We
are then able to be in relation-
ship with God - and not just for
today but for eternity.
Thats good news!! Thats
worth celebrating!! Thats what
Christmas is really all about!!

Montville Township Seniors
age 55 and older, meets every
1st and 3rd Friday of the
month. Our meetings are held

members and guests are always
Neuromuscular diagnoses:
Muscular dystrophy, cerebral
palsy, spinal muscular atro-
phy, hypotonia.
Developmental diagnoses:
Autism/ Pervasive Develop-
mental Disorder, Sensory in-
tegration dysfunction, poor
coordination, difficulty keep-
ing up with age level peers,
delayed walking, crawling,
sitting etc., poor posture and
poor gross motor skills.
(Jumping, hopping, throwing,
and skipping)
Syndromes and Metabolic
Disorders: Downs syndrome,
Retts syndrome, Prader Willi
Syndrome, Williams Syn-
drome.
Prematurity: Infants who are
premature may present with
muscle stiffness, arching,
delay of developmental mile-
stones and difficulty soothing.
Our focus at Kids Ther-
apy Center is to identify the
strengths and abilities of each
child related to the specific
functional goal or skill that
has been identified. The im-
pairments a child may have in
relation to that goal are as-
sessed using task analysis to
identify the system impair-
ments impeding the child
from achieving the goal.
Treatment strategies are em-
ployed each session that work
toward achievement of that
specific goal. Our goals can
range from independence in
rolling over to retrieve a toy
to independence in bike rid-
ing. We consider each of our
children to be unique and our
treatment sessions are tai-
lored to the individual needs
of the child using the NDT
framework. Family members
at Kids Therapy Center re-
ceive education in NDT prin-
ciples to maximize their
childs quality of movement
and carry over functional
skills in a range of environ-
ments including home, pre-
school, school and the
community.
Motor control processes
are complex and depend on
integrating the sensory, per-
ceptual, cognitive and motor
systems. A skilled NDT
trained therapist can work on
integrating all of these sys-
tems to assist the child in
working toward functional
goals. By breaking down
components of a task, practic-
ing each component repeti-
tively and translating the new
skill into the childs natural
environment, motor skills can
be greatly improved, confi-
dence and self assuredness en-
hanced and enthusiasm and
participation in activities of
daily living greatly increased.
Gena Livingston is a pediatric
physical therapist, who brings
over five years of experience to
Kids Therapy Center
of Riverdale. Specializing in
early childhood intervention,
Gena is very experienced treat-
ing children with cerebral pal-
sy, delayed motor develop-
ment, autism, torticollis, post-
surgical corrections, and athlet-
ic injuries. If you would like to

n addition to making resolu-
tions and plans, the New
Year ushers in chilly temper-
atures in much of the country.
A heating system that is work-
ing well is essential to the com-
fort and health of homeowners.
If you havent done so, its
a good idea to have the heating
system inspected to ensure
everything is working smoothly.
While this is best handled prior
to winters arrival, in the midst
of the holiday hustle, it can be
easy to forget about home main-
tenance.
The National Fire Protec-
tion Association says that half
of all home-heating fires in the
U.S. occur in December, Janu-
ary and February. Failure to
clean equipment, primarily cre-
osote from solid-fueled heating
equipment and chimneys, is a
leading cause of home-heating
fires.
While the majority of
homeowners are safe, it cannot
hurt to inspect and clean the el-
ements involved in most home
furnaces and other equipment.
Not only will this help prevent
possible fires or help pinpoint
possible problem areas that
could lead to carbon monoxide
poisoning, this maintenance
can help produce cleaner indoor
air.
In addition to routinely re-
placing the air filter on the fur-
nace, it is commonly
recommended to have the air
ducts and venting throughout
the home cleaned. Although
there is no proven evidence
that trapped dust and other de-
bris in air ducts can pose a risk
to personal health, many people
prefer to keep the ductwork
clear in the event particles may
be hazardous or contribute to
asthma or other breathing diffi-
culties. This cleaning can be
done once a year or every cou-
ple of years, depending on per-
sonal preference.

The EPA does recommend
duct cleaning if any of these fac-
tors are present:
There is substantial visible
mold growth present.
Ducts are infested with ver-
min.
Dust or debris is literally clog-
ging the ducts.
You can see dust or debris
blowing into the home through
supply registers (vents) in the
home.
There are many companies
today that will service furnaces
and heating systems and provide
duct cleaning. As with any busi-
ness, their reliability and hon-
esty will have to be checked by
the homeowner. When seeking
a company to clean the ducts in
your home, first ask friends and

T
he thick, spiced drink
we know as eggnog has
become synonymous
with the holidays. It is so
linked with the Christmas sea-
son that a person may be hard-
pressed to find it sold in the
supermarket any other time of
the year. But eggnog wasnt al-
ways the holiday beverage it
has become.
Eggnog is believed to have
originated in 17th century Eu-
rope, primarily as a drink for
the elite, since the ingredients
in the beverage were hard to
come by and thusly relegated
to the very rich.
There are different theo-
ries on the origins of the word
eggnog itself. Some believe it
has gotten its name from the
Old English word nog, which
meant strong beer. The egg
refers to one of the ingredients
in the beverage, fresh eggs.
Others surmise that it comes
from the word noggin, which
was a vessel for serving drinks
in taverns. The drink was
called egg in a noggin, which
was shortened to eggnog.
Still, there are others who say
its name is derived from the
term grog, which was an-
other term for booze. Egg n
grog was eventually abbrevi-
ated to eggnog.
Although there is little
certainty to the origins of the
name, the recipe for eggnog
has essentially remained un-
changed throughout the cen-
turies. It consists of beaten
eggs, cream or milk and sugar
mixed with some sort of alco-
holic spirit. The Old English
were believed to mix it with
wine, though once the drink
was brought to the New
World; colonists substituted
rum for the wine. Rum was
readily available through
tradesman running between
the Americas and
the Caribbean and
therefore less ex-
pensive than an-
other spirit. As
America grew and
eggnog was enjoyed
in different parts of
the country, the rum
was replaced with
regional spirits, in-
cluding bourbon or
grain alcohol. Other
ingredients were
also added to give it
a customized flavor.
However, the use of
nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves
has become traditional flavors
for the holiday brew.
Although eggnog is
widely enjoyed throughout the
holiday season, in the past it
was served at special events
and social occasions. As a
warmed beverage it can easily
chase away winters chill. This
is how it may have come to be
enjoyed primarily during the
holidays.
Love it or hate it, eggnog
is a drink that can evoke
strong feelings of the holidays
within minutes. There are
variations of eggnog sold com-
mercially, but many people
swear by homemade versions
for their taste and authenticity.
Try your own homemade
eggnog with this recipe, cour-
tesy of Cooks.com.
Holiday Eggnog (Spirited)
1 dozen eggs
1 pound powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup vanilla
8 cups evaporated milk
3 cups water
1 quart spiced rum
Nutmeg, to garnish
Beat eggs until light in
color; gradually add sugar, salt
and vanilla. Then add milk
and water. Stir in rum (brandy,
bourbon or rye may also be
used). Cover the nog and ripen
for 24 hours in the refrigerator.
Stir again and serve sprinkled
with nutmeg.

was purlfled and Lhe wlcks of Lhe menorah burned
for elghL days, even Lhough Lhere was only enough
sacred oll for one day's llghLlng.
Iesus Chr|st and Iohn the 8apt|st: rophes|ed |n

family members for referrals.
Also, utilize customer review
Web sites such as Yelp.com or
simply conduct a Web search
for the company to learn of its
reputation. You can also con-
tact the Better Business Bu-
reau or see if the business is
registered with the National
Air Duct Cleaners Associa-
tion (NAD CA).
Research has not demon-
strated the effectiveness of any
chemical additives or sealants
placed in or on ducts for the
prevention of bacteria growth
or inhibition of dust formation.
It is advisable to steer clear of
companies that try to push ad-
ditional services or chemical ap-
plications that actually may
hinder health more than dust.
An untrained person can
actually damage the ducts or
heating and cooling system.
That is why it is important to do
your research. A properly done
job should include cleaning all
of the components of the sys-
tem, including coils and con-
denser parts of the HVAC
system itself. The job should
take between 3 and 8 hours and
will range in cost from $450 to
$1,000, according to EPA esti-
mates. The blow and go spe-
cials advertised for $100 are
likely a waste of money and may
inadvertently cause damage or
dislodge dust inappropriately.
The NADCA says the
most effective way to clean air
ducts and ventilation systems is
to employ source removal
methods of cleaning. This re-
quires a contractor to place the
system under negative pressure
through the use of a specialized,
powerful vacuum. While the
vacuum draws air through the
system, devices are inserted
into the ducts to dislodge any
debris that might be stuck to
interior surfaces. The debris
can then travel down the ducts
to the vacuum, which removes
it from the system and the
home.
Although there are no
proven health benefits, air duct
cleaning can help improve in-
door air quality and may help
an HVAC system operate more
efficiently.

E
very year, right before the
clock strikes 12 on De-
cember 31, people far and
wide make resolutions for the
New Year. There are some com-
mon themes from year to year,
these top the list.
Lose weight: Whether theyre
inspired by goals of healthy liv-
ing, the reality of stepping on a
scale after holiday dining or sim-
ply because clothes have been a
little snug, people often resolve
to lose weight in the year ahead.
Quit smoking: Individuals are
feeling increased pressure to give
up the habit due to smoking bans
in many buildings and public
spaces. Plus, its one of the worst
things a person can do for his or
her health.
Get fit: In conjunction with
losing weight, the overall quest
for physical fitness drives up gym
membership numbers every Jan-
uary.
Tame finances: The first credit
card bill after the holiday season
may be a wakeup call for those
who have had difficulty balanc-
ing a budget. This is often a time
when people make plans to get
finances under control at the
start of the New Year.
Enjoy life more: Many people
are taking personal happiness
into their own hands. Perhaps
thanks to a troublesome econ-
omy and other sources of sour
news, it has become common in
recent years for resolutions to be
made concerning reducing stress
and having more fun. This may
involve everything from spend-
ing more time with family to tak-
ing time for leisure activities to
simply enjoying more fun.
ica are spinal stenosis (nar-
rowing of the spinal canal),
bone spurs caused by arthritis,
and piriformis syndrome
(spasms of the piriformis mus-
cle). In all these conditions,
when a nerve is being com-
pressed or pinched the
nerve becomes very irritated
and the process of inflamma-
tion begins.
Inflammation will create
the swelling and soreness
around the nerve and may ul-
timately create painful sec-
ondary muscle spasms and
tightness in the lower back.
For the most part, sciat-
ica is treated effectively with
conservative care which now
includes lumbar decompres-
sion therapy (an innovative
device designed specifically to
reduce nerve irritation in the
lumbar spine). Now with the
introduction of these innova-
tive rehabilitative devices,
surgical interventions for con-
ditions that lead to sciatica
are significantly less. Also,
advanced diagnostic imaging
such as MRI is often used to
help identify the cause of
symptoms of sciatica. Once
the cause is identified, an ap-
propriate treatment plan can
be recommended by a health
care provider.
It is important for a per-
son to seek the appropriate
professional advice regarding
lower back pain and associ-
ated pain, numbness, and tin-
gling into the lower
extremity. A chiropractor is a
professional that is specifi-
cally trained to identify con-
ditions that may cause back
pain and sciatica. Once the
cause of pain is identified, an
individualized treatment pro-
gram is utilized, to reduce
nerve pressure, restore proper
spinal mechanics, and en-
hance the function of the
nervous system.
Drs. Glenn and Christine Foss
are the owners of Advance
Sports Medicine and Physical
Therapy Center in Riverdale.
Both doctors have been practic-
ing chiropractic for over thir-
teen years and have been
amongst the communities lead-
ing health care providers. As
innovators in health care, they
have merged chiropractic and
physical therapy services to-
gether to enhance the quality of
patient care and overall treat-
ment outcome. If you have
any questions for either of the
doctors or would like to sched-
ule a consultation please call
973-616-4555.

let him or her make the sale.
Long-term gains could qual-
ify for a zero-percent tax rate
if your parent is in the lower
tax brackets.
Assess equipment needs for
your business
For business owners,
this year offers what may be
a last-chance opportunity for
an enhanced deduction:
100% bonus depreciation is
scheduled to expire Decem-
ber 31. The increased Sec-
tion 179 expensing of up to
$500,000 is also slated to
shrink after the end of the
year.
Synchronize these two
tax benefits with your asset
purchase plan before year-
end to make the most of
2011 deductions. For in-
stance, you can apply the
Section 179 deduction to
used property, while bonus
depreciation is available only
for new assets you buy and
place in service in 2011. One
caution: Some states like
New Jersey do not follow fed-
eral bonus depreciation rules.
Choose strategies that fit
your situation
Other strategies for re-
ducing your 2011 federal in-
come tax bill include maxi-
mizing losses by increasing
your participation in passive
activities, taking steps to
write off worthless securities
and bad debts, and harvest-
ing capital losses.
More tax-savers to consider
as year-end approaches
Estimate your tax liability
for 2011. Adjust your final
quarterly voucher or your
withholding to avoid under-
payment penalties. Check
estimated payments for your
C corporation for the same
reason.
Consider prepaying college
tuition youll owe for the first
semester of 2012. Expenses
paid for you, your spouse, or
your dependents will count
on your 2011 return if you
qualify for education tax
credits. Breaks include
the American Opportunity
Credit, which can reduce
your tax bill by up to $2,500
and is partially refundable.
Gather tax identification
numbers your business will
need to issue year-end report-
ing statements. Though two
reporting requirements were
repealed (the one for rental
property owners and the one
for payments to corpora-
tions), the old rules live on.
In addition, penalties for fail-
ure to file have increased.
Consider setting up a newly
available SIMPLE cafeteria
plan for your business. The
plus: pre-tax employee bene-
fits without the need for dis-
crimination testing.
Hire your child under the
age of 18 to do legitimate
work in your business. You
get a business tax deduction,
and your child can earn up to
$5,800 without paying in-
come tax. Bonus: When your
business is a sole proprietor-
ship, you dont have to pay
FICA taxes. Double bonus:
The kiddie tax does not
apply to wages.
Start a retirement account
for your working child. Boost
the tax savings you get from
paying your child to work in
your business by gifting the
child money for a deductible,
traditional IRA contribu-
tion. The maximum basic
contribution for 2011 is
$5,000.
Claim the last of the resi-
dential energy credit. Install
certain energy efficient prop-
erty in your home, such as in-
sulation, doors, and windows,
and get a federal tax credit of
up to $500. Thats the aggre-
gate total credit, including
amounts you claimed in prior
years. The credit is scheduled
to expire after December
2011.
Be aware that Congress
might pass legislation before
year-end that would require
adjustments to your tax plan.
Contact us for guidance in
identifying the tax strategies
that best fit your situation.
