A

petition to push the


federal government to
address Passaic River
Basin flooding has passed the
5,000 signature mark and con-
tinues to gain support from
local residents and people from
around the country who
acknowledge that severe flood-
ing of the Passaic River Basin
deserves federal funding of a
long-term solution.
Assemblyman Scott T.
Rumana (40th District,
Passaic, Bergen, Essex, and
Morris) launched the on-line
petition drive (www.floodpeti-
tion.com) that encourages the
federal government to priori-
tize the Passaic River Basin in
New Jersey as a presidential
priority in the Fiscal Year 2013
budget request to Congress
with the late Assemblyman
Alex DeCroce. Assemblyman
DeCroces widow Betty Lou
was recently sworn-in as the
Assemblywoman representing
her late husbands former
District, which encompasses
areas affected by flooding. She
has committed to continuing
her husbands efforts to bring
real solutions to thousands of
residents and businesses within
the Passaic River Basin.
The federal government
needs to make solving the
chronic flooding of the Passaic
River Basin a priority, said
Rumana, who acknowledges
President Obamas inclusion of
$1 million in his FY 2013 budg-
et. I applaud the administra-
tion for making Passaic River
Basin flood control a
Presidential priority. I am
hopeful that this will result in
an acceleration to achieve a
project that will once and for
all solve our flooding prob-
lems. To that end, we need to
keep the pressure on the feder-
al government.
Plans are underway to cre-
ate a video to accompany an
email blast. If you have any
photos or video from the latest
flood or would like more infor-
mation on the petition or to
receive a paper petition, please
contact Assemblyman Scott
Rumanas Legislative Office
at 973-237-1362 or asmru-
mana@njleg.org.

Waiting to walk Why isnt my child walking yet? By Gena Livingston PT
W
hat a thrilling
time for parents
watching their
baby taking their first tenta-
tive steps. Sure its cute
when they begin to roll, sit
up and crawl, but walking is
different. The baby is now
able to venture out and
explore their world. What an
exciting and daunting time
for new parents when the
baby proofing must com-
mence. When a baby is late
with a milestone like walking
it can be difficult to tell
whether it is a justified con-
cern or just a matter of time
before they will start taking
steps.
Babies typically acquire
motor skills in a predictable
sequence, but the timing of
the attainment of those skills
may vary widely. Many fac-
tors affect the timing of first
steps from heredity to body
size. About half of all babies
are walking by their first
birthday, but most pediatri-
cians do not consider a child
to be a late walker until they
are 15 months old. Walking
later than 15 months is not
very uncommon; one in ten
children takes their first steps
between 15 and 18 months.
Regardless of how old your
baby is catching a problem as
early as possible offers the
best chance for improve-
ment. Listed below are sev-
eral red flags that may signal
an early motor problem that
can cause late walking:
Your baby does not have
a large movement repertoire.
Children that are not mov-
ing and may just stay in a sit-
ting position, or may only
roll to get their toys and are
beyond the age at which they
should have begun to crawl
or pull up to stand, may have
an underlying issue that
should be addressed. This
type of child that is not
crawling or pulling up to
stand probably wont be
walking in the near future
and should be evaluated by a
professional.
The baby appears to be
lazy and uninterested in
walking. Babies are not lazy.
Sometimes they may appear
uninterested in one area of
development when they are
refining their skills in anoth-
er. For example, a baby who
has just had a big burst in
language may be working on
refining these skills leaving

Dear Mark: My husband
and I are 40 something with
two girls ages 3 and 5. We feel
like we are doing everything
right, contributing monthly to
529s ($200 per child), auto-
matically contributing to my
husband's 401k and maxing
out his company match. We
refinanced our mortgage down
to 4%, which paid for itself in
7 months. We carry no credit
card debt, though we use them
to pay for EVERYTHING we
can, but we pay them off each
month. Our only other debt is
one car payment, our mort-
gage and a student loan pay-
ment of $200/mos. Despite
being what we feel is finan-
cially responsible (we can
account for every dollar spent
in the past 10 years!) we are
anxious about paying for col-
lege, having enough for retire-
ment and knowing the right
amount of life insurance we
should be carrying on each of
us. Any help in how we can
work towards ensuring our
financial future and that of
our children's is secure would
be appreciated. Carolyn E.
Dear Carolyn: Thank
you for writing, what a pleas-
ure to read your financial
report card; I grade you and
your husband an A. Not an
A+ though, because of the
529 plans which, as Ive writ-
ten before, I do not like them
at all. In concept and theory

ridesmaids are an impor-
tant part of the wedding
party, and most brides
opt to have a handful of close
friends and family members
play a special role in the wed-
ding. Choosing a gown and a
color that will flatter all of the
bridesmaids typically takes a
little work.
An overwhelming majori-
ty of couples choose to have a
formal wedding. The average
number of bridesmaids for
these formal weddings is four.
Considering around two mil-
lion weddings take place in
North America every year,
that's a lot of bridesmaids for
whom gowns and other attire
must be planned.
Many bridesmaids worry
about the gowns they will wear
come the big day. Horrible
bridesmaid dresses have been
the butt of jokes for years, and
many people have their own
stories of garish gowns they've
been asked to don for a wed-
ding. Some have said that
brides intentionally choose
ugly gowns for their brides-
maids to ensure they're not out-
shined come the wedding day.
Although this may be the case
for some, most brides aspire to
select gowns that will be flat-
tering for all. And color
scheme is integral in the choice
of gown.
Every well-planned wed-
ding carries a color scheme
throughout. This includes the
color a bride selects for her
bridesmaids to wear. But not
every color accentuates every-
one's features. Therefore, some
experimentation might be nec-
essary to find a color that is flat-
tering to all and fits with the
color scheme.
Depending on hair color
and skin shade, there are many
flattering hues available for
gowns. When making this
decision, consider bridesmaids'
ethnicity and skin tone.
African-American: Women
with dark skin and hair may
really shine in jewel-colored
gowns, including silver, gold,
purple and salmon. Very pale
colors may be daring and con-
spicuous.
Asian and olive-skinned
women: Those with a slight
yellow tone to their skin will
look good in many colors,
including red, navy, peach, and
fuchsia. However, avoid colors
in light yellow, aqua, gray,
taupe, or mint, which may
make the bridesmaid look
washed out.
Fair skin: Ladies with pale
skin will benefit from richly
colored gowns in jewel tones.
Pastels may work, but be care-
ful about those depending on
hair color. Pink or red-hued
gowns may clash with someone
with auburn hair. Yellow and
green may not work with a fair
brunette. Gray and silver may
wash out someone who is pale
and blonde.
Once a color is chosen,
brides also need to consider the
season. Certain colors may look
out of place depending on the
season. For example, an ever-
green or deep blue may seem
wintry during a summer wed-
ding. Similarly, russet or brown
may work for the autumn but
not for a spring wedding. Many
brides gravitate toward mid-
level blues, greens, pinks and
purples for their weddings, sim-
ply because those colors tran-
scend the seasons.
After colors are worked
out, the style of the gown
deserves consideration. Be-
cause not every bridesmaid has
the same physical attributes,
many brides are now open to
selecting a color and length
and allowing the bridesmaid
herself to choose the exact
style. This way someone who is
busty won't feel uncomfortable
in strapless, and someone who
is thin won't be overwhelmed
by a lot of ruffles. The intent is
to have bridesmaids feel beau-
tiful and comfortable, and dif-
ferent styles can help achieve
this.
Making the effort to
choose a gown color and style
that is flattering to all in the
bridal party will help the ladies
feel they are truly a special part
of the wedding.
Coloring the wedding; Choosing a hue for the bridesmaid gowns
Choosing a gown that flatters bridesmaids is a significant
responsibility for prospective brides planning their big day.

rgonomics is the study
of the relationship
between people and
their workplace. Its funda-
mental purpose is to improve
the work environment in
order to reduce unnecessary
stress and strain on the
human body. Ergonomics
has now come to include not
only the workplace, but any
environment where one may
do a task or activity: the
home, the workshop, driving
the car, and so on. Whatever
environment one is in, being
aware of body positioning
and continually seeking to
improve the design of the
environment to minimize
stress and strain on the body
will help to ensure a healthy
spine.
The following are some
key points to remember when
learning to "think ergonomi-
cally":
Whenever possible,
position your environment to
reduce strain on your body
rather than straining your
body to accommodate the
environment. For example,
if you work at a desk, do not
place heavy objects that you
regularly use (like heavy files
or books) in the drawer on
the side of the desk. In order
to get them you are forced to
bend and twist at the same
time, a motion responsible
for many back disorders. To
avoid chronic neck and
upper back problems, posi-
tion computer and T.V. mon-
itors so that, when sitting
normally, you are not forced
to look down. Monitor and
adjust your environment to
ensure your body positioning
and motions are balanced.
Be "posturally aware" at
all times. Posture is vital to
spinal well-being and health
in general. Think optimum,
balanced posture as it relates
to everything you do.
Question how you can
improve your work or leisure
environment so that opti-
mum posture can be best
maintained. For example,
does your environment allow
you to "think tall"?
Design your environ-
ment so that your three basic
spinal curves are maintained
as close to normal as possible.
While you are sitting or
standing, does your environ-
ment force you to slouch,
rounding your mid-back and
pushing your head forward?
When you sit, is your back
supported so that the normal
arc is maintained without
you feeling strain? Does your
job or recreational activities
require you to look down or
bend forward for prolonged
periods?

and is a guaranteed good time.
So, bring your family, bring
your friends, bring the neigh-
their motor skills on the back
burner. When the language
improves the toddler will
most likely pay more atten-
tion to the motor skills. On
the other hand, a child may
appear to have a lack of
interest in walking, but the
infant may be physically
unable to do so and may not
have the necessary strength
to perform. A child may
require intervention to
appropriately strengthen the
necessary muscles utilized for
walking.
The baby is not only a
late walker, but never
crawled and scooted on his
bottom to get around.
Scooting is an asymmetrical
activity that typically utilizes
one side of the body to get
around the environment. If a
baby is primarily using one
arm and leg, the side that is
not being used will become
weaker. In addition the mus-
cles on one side of the body
may be less flexible and if not
addressed, may cause skeletal
and muscular problems into
adulthood. Crawling is an
important developmental
sequence because it not only
builds strength in the trunk,
shoulder girdle and hips nec-
essary for stability during
standing and walking, but
also utilizes both right and
left hemispheres in the brain
in a complex action of neuro-
logical coordination.
The baby seems very
floppy and has a hard time
maintaining upright posi-
tions. The baby may feel this
way because of weakness of
the trunk and extremities.
The baby may have low mus-
cle tone (hypotonia,) a con-
dition that causes difficulty
activating the appropriate
muscle groups required to
sustain upright positions.
Although walking is a
skill with many variables it is
important that late walking
is not overlooked. Not all
children are moving at their
own pace and a wait and see
attitude is not always the
most effective. There may be
an underlying problem that is
causing a delay and should be
addressed now in order to
prevent later musckuloskele-
tal problems into adulthood.
A skilled pediatric physical
therapist can not only help
to discover why the baby may
be late with his walking, but
also employ the appropriate
treatment to get the toddler
moving.
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 treating chil-
dren with cerebral palsy, de-
layed motor development,

O
ld age happens. Our
dogs are no excep-
tion. As our dogs
become senior citizens, their
physical and mental capabili-
ties change and their needs
change too. Being aware of
these changes and knowing
what to expect will help your
pets golden years be happy
and comfortable.
Some common changes
that you may expect to see in
your senior dog are: loss of
hearing or vision, decreased
activity and/or weight gain,
changes in skin or fur, dental
disease, more sensitive stom-
ach, lumps and bumps, or
even dementia. These
changes dont happen at the
same time for all dogs because
in general, smaller breeds live
longer than larger dogs. A
good rule of thumb is that, on
average, a dog is considered a
senior at 7 years of age.
Senior dogs may act dif-
ferently and may require dif-
ferent care but age is not a dis-
ease. These dogs arent lost
causes and minimal effort can
add years to their lives. The
main focus should be on pre-
vention. Whenever possible,
it is better and less costly to
prevent a problem from occur-
ring, rather than wait for a
problem to develop. Detecting
diseases in their early stages
greatly improves the out-
come. Advancements in vet-
erinary medicine have kept
our pets alive longer, healthier
and happier. If there is a prob-
lem with your dog, don't
assume its just because he/she
is old, and nothing can be
done. With the appropriate
treatment, which can be sim-
ple and non-invasive, many
conditions can improve.
Geriatric care for your
dog and prevention begins
with routine visits to your vet-
erinarian. Most pets visit
their veterinarian once a year
but it is recommended that
senior pets be seen every 6
months. Mainly because dogs
age approximately seven times
faster than us and early detec-
tion of problems is key. Your
veterinarian may do the fol-
lowing to assess and maintain
a healthy senior dog: take a
thorough medical history not-
ing changes in behavior and
physical abilities, a complete
physical examination, early
detection blood work and uri-
nalysis, aspiration of any new
lumps or bumps, x-rays, glau-
coma checks and blood pres-
sure checks.
Based on the veterinari-
ans findings, treatment
options and care can be dis-
cussed. One of the most
important aspects is nutri-
tion. In general, a high quali-
ty senior food is recommended
once your dog reaches 7 years
of age but there may be very
individual nutritional needs.
The best food to feed depends
on the specific problems or
nutritional requirements of
the individual animal. For
instance, obesity is a very
common problem of older ani-
mals and will shorten their
lifespan. A lower calo-
rie/higher fiber diet
would be recommend-
ed for these dogs.
Other diets would be
advised for dogs with
GI disorders, kidney or
liver disease, arthritis,
skin problems, etc.
Home care is also essen-
tial. Close observation of any
changes in mobility, drinking,
eating, etc should be noted
and reported to your veteri-
narian early. Potential prob-
lems may also be uncovered
by getting your hands on your
pet to inspect them periodi-
cally.
Feed a good quality dog
food that is appropriate for
your dog's specific needs. Do
not allow your pet to gain
excessive weight which is very
common when your senior
dogs metabolism slows down
and they dont exercise as
much. It can make them
more prone to arthritis, heart
disease and diabetes. Follow
your veterinarian's recom-
mendations as to exercise,
nutrition and any medications
that may be needed.
Our senior dogs may not
be able to do what they used
to but with a little prevention
and early detection they can
still live a happy, fulfilling life
and still be wonderful com-
panions to us.

tunity to try reading some-
thing you might not normally
pick out yourself. (After
about 50 pages - give it a
chance, if you don't like the
book, no problem- just stop
reading and return it to us.
The book's feelings will not be
hurt.) If you enjoy the book,
you can review it using the
review slip inside. Then we'll
post your review in the
Library. Butler Public Library
is located at 1 Ace Road,

T
oys that encourage
physical fitness are a
great way to keep
your children fit, active and
having fun all year-round.
Therefore, giving the right
activity-gift will not only
ensure your kids have fun,
but will also stay healthy
without even realizing it.
What is an activity-toy?
One of the most popular
activity gifts is the ride-on-toy.
Aside from being fun, ride-on-
toys offer many additional ben-
efits, such as developing a sense
of balance and coordination,
and make a big contribution to
a child's overall physical fit-
ness. This year, take a look at
the PlasmaCar by Plasmart Inc.
It's a mechanical marvel that
can be driven on any flat sur-
face, indoors and outdoors, and
is powered solely by kid-power.
This attractive vehicle is a fun
way for kids to ride around the
neighborhood, keep their bod-
ies fit, and have fun at the same
time. It requires no batteries or
fuel, just the occasional cookie
or two for the driver.
What makes a good
outdoor gift?
Outdoor toys need to be
well made. Not only do they
need to stand-up to rough and
tumble kid treatment, they
need to be able to survive all
types of weather. Outdoor toys
should also have rounded cor-
ners to help prevent scrapes
and cuts that go hand-in-hand
with outdoor fun. Makers of
the PlasmaCar say it's highly
durable and can handle a load
of up to 100 kg (220 lbs) on a
smooth, flat surface, and 55 kg
(120 lbs) on a rough, flat sur-
face. Not only will it handle
the daily abuse at the hands of
your children, it's so durable
that parents can have fun rid-
ing it, too. The colour is highly
appealing to kids -- and with its
rounded curves, seat and steer-
ing wheel, this design will help
reduce summer bumps and
bruises.

f I could tell you how to
build a home with practi-
cally no more money
than a conventional heating
and cooling system, and
youd have no heating or
cooling bills, would you do
it? If I could then tell you
how to eliminate your elec-
tric bills also and end up with
a net zero home, would you
do it?
I would hope so, because
this is all possible now, and
you really dont have any out
of pocket costs because its
part of the cost of the house.
A Geothermal Heating
and Cooling system works off
the constant 54o tempera-
ture of the earth. With heat
pumps that take heat out of
the house in the summer and
bring it into the house in the
winter, you have an air distri-
bution system that is the
most comfortable of any
heating or cooling system
there is. If dry heat bothers
you with asthma, bronchitis
or allergies, geothermal will
reduce those symptoms and
youll be much more com-
fortable.
So heres how it can
work. Contracting for a
geothermal system with Solar
& More will give you the
opportunity to save 30% on
your system and your homes
insulation and ductwork.
How do we do this? We
design and include the
homes air handling and
ductwork into the
Geothermal system. We
then provide the spray-in
foam insulation as part of the
Geothermal system also.
This does two things; it
increases the insulation from
the homes envelope (the
insulated living area of the
house) and reduces the size of
the Geothermal system
because of this extra insula-
tion. Spray in insulation is
much more efficient than
standard mat insulations pro-
vided with most homes.
Whats all this mean?
Basically, you get a
Geothermal system for the
same amount as a traditional
heating and cooling system.
And, you get a much tighter
home with fewer drafts and
the most comfortable heat
and cooling system you can
buy!
So now youve finished

building the house and youre
in. What happens next?
Youve reduced your heating
and cooling bills by up to
70%! You also cover about
70% of your domestic hot
water bills with this geother-
mal system as we install a
desuperheater that trans-
fers heat from the heat pumps
to a hot water heater. What
could be better!
Tell your architect to be
sure he considers a
Geothermal system. If he
doesnt, weve got an archi-
tect who will design this for
you and it wont cost you any
more than a traditional
design. If hes really good,
hell also give you a south
facing roof for some solar
panels. This could eliminate
the remaining portion of
your electric bill to give you
that net zero homeno
electric, no heating and no
cooling costsfor the life of
your home. Thats energy
efficiency!

all it a sign of the
times or just plain
good luck for those
of us yearning to swap fast
food fare for some tasty home
cooking. Potluck gatherings
are back and one of this year's
hottest trends in entertaining.
Although these commu-
nal "luck of the pot" meals
(where everyone brings their
favorite dish) hearken back to
the late 19th century, they
found their footing in the
mid-1950's when it seemed
like every mom in the neigh-
borhood was filling casserole
dishes for church socials and
family get-togethers.
"There are three primary
reasons driving the return of
potluck -- our schedules, the
economy and childhood
memories," says Chef Jeff
Gillis, www.Celebrating
Home.com. "We live such
fast-paced lives that divvying
up the cooking makes home
entertaining more realistic
than putting all of the burden
on the hostess. Making one
dish instead of several also
helps stretch the budget --
something we're all looking to
do these days. And, let's face
it -- after years of dashing
through the drive-thru,
wouldn't you like to sit down
to some home-cooked food,
even if it's only once a week?"
Got potluck fever but
not a clue what to do? Here
are four tips that'll make your
next gathering both tasty and
stylish, plus, a family-fave
recipe that'll put your home
on the map as potluck heav-
en.
Organize Participants
Divide the meal by cate-
gories so guests will have a
balance of appetizers, entrees,
sides and desserts from which
to choose. Cooks needn't
commit to a specific recipe
but it's helpful to know up-
front that a well-rounded
meal is in the making.
Agree on Advance Prep
All dishes should be
cooked prior to arrival so only
a quick re-heating is required.
Everything should also hit
your doorstep ready for pres-
entation to avoid last minute
searches for serving bowls and
platters.
Choose Easy-Fix, Crowd-
Pleasing Recipes
To appeal to guests vary-
ing tastes, save the exotic for
later and dust off mom's (or
grandma's) cookbook. Tra-
ditional potluck dishes like
casseroles, chili, soup, bread,
and cakes are always popular

Potluck's back -- let's eat! By Carla Jordan
A slow cooker (like Celebrating Home's Venetian Home Spice Bean
Pot shown here) is potluck perfect. It's sized to feed a crowd and to
go from kitchen to table without missing a stylish beat.

Bean Pot Beef Stew
This twist on an American
favorite yields a hearty,
flavorful entree that takes less
prep time because it slow cooks
in the oven in a bean pot.

Dress Up the Table
Remember the special table-
cloth mom used for Sunday dinner?
Create some memories for your own
family with a pretty fabric table-
cloth, cloth napkins (pretty and eco-
friendly!) and some candles. A few
minutes is all it takes to create a fes-
tive look that'll make guests feel
honored to have gathered around
your table.
Ingredients:
1 pound round steak, cut
into bite-sized pieces
1 large yellow onion,
roughly chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, chopped
fine
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced
tomatoes
6 cups beef broth (or stock)
1
1
2 teaspoons dried thyme
3 bay leaves
2 cups potatoes, cubed
1 cup celery, diced
1 cup carrots, diced
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Rub steak with olive oil and
coat with salt and pepper.
Let steak sit at room temperature in
bean pot while preparing all other
vegetables. Chop and dice every-
thing, then add to bean pot. Add
beef broth (or stock), thyme, bay
leaves, diced tomatoes and salt and
pepper. Cover and bake in 375 F
oven for 3 to 4 hours until meat is
tender.

Potluck's back -- let's eat!
continued from page 21
the abhorrent future price of college,
the 529 plan created a vehicle to
accumulate wealth for that purpose.
The problem is, the success you will
enjoy in the plan will hurt or hinder
the availability for financial aid pack-
ages available to you for college when
the girls apply. 529 assets are part of
the EFC, Expected Family
Contribution. There is a better way
that will accomplish the goal of accu-
mulating capital for college and at the
same time, maximize your aid eligibil-
ity, in other words, have your cake
and eat it to. Interestingly, the solu-
tion ties into your second question,
ample life insurance coverage for you
and your spouse. To elaborate, I will
need a bit more information. In this
way I can do some work for you and
create some fascinating proposals and
illustrations that will completely sat-
isfy all of your requirements.
The answer for Carolyn lies in
the proper life insurance for her and
her husband. Interestingly, life insur-
ance cash values are not factored in
the EFC formula; yet, their cash value
may be accessed for college tuition
needs, tax-free, if removed from the
policy properly. Further, the cash
value accumulations may be linked to
a stock market index like the S+P 500
where, by formula, can only grow
without the possibility of negative
returns from crashes and corrections.
Therefore, Carolyn and her husband
can use the same money to provide
for the proper life insurance protec-
tion today, a supplemental tuition
reimbursement plan in 13 and 15
years respectively and ultimately a
tax-advantaged retirement plan at
their age 67, to complement their
Social Security benefits all at the
same time! Thank you Carolyn for
your question, additional information
is already on its way to you.
Our next question comes from
Bruce M, a high school teacher in
Wayne:
Dear Mark: Why would a person
ever have a Variable Annuity inside a
403(b)? As someone who deals in
annuities I am hoping you will have
an interesting take on this issue.
Thanks, Bruce
Dear Bruce: Your question is an
excellent one and interesting at the
same time, the 403(b) industry was
devoted exclusively to variable annu-
ities in the beginning of their intro-
duction to the investment communi-
ty for those people looking for equi-
ties (stocks or stock mutual fund like
alternatives). The biggest difference
with a variable annuity is the death
benefit feature that protected the
value from market losses at the death
of the annuitant. Another name for a
403(b) is a tax-sheltered annuity or
TSA. TSAs are available to teachers
as well as hospital workers and not for
profit organizations as their retire-
ment plan of preference and all annu-
ity types are available as a TSA to
include traditional fixed, fixed
indexed and variable annuities.
Bruce, I believe your underlying
question is: Is their value in rolling
over or transferring an employer
sponsored 403(b) into an IRA vari-
able annuity where they both provide
income tax-deferral anyway?
The answer is absolutely yes! In
addition to a death benefit VAs also
offer a living benefit rider (LBR).
This feature, unavailable in most
TSA versions, would provide imme-
diate upgrades and incentives for the
participant. With different nuances
from each issuing carrier and product,
its important to check the fine print
to secure the best benefits in line with
the purchasers individual goals and

up mechanism to lock in performance
gains if any and an annually increas-

increase your income base in periods
of declining or negative market per-
formance. Most school sponsored
403(b)s do not offer living benefit
riders which is truly a shame! It
would be my pleasure to demonstrate
to you and your fellow teachers the
variable annuities I feel offer the best
combination of benefits and value.
Bruce, just email me or call, better
yet, come on over as I never charge
for a consultation and my kids would
like to see one of their favorite former
teachers. All annuities are not creat-
ed equally nor are 403(b)s for that
matter; therefore they should be stud-
ied carefully before making any
exchanges or cancellations.
