Autumn Colors
I’m looking forward to photographing this
year’s fall foliage. The leaves ar starting to change
– hopefully the colors this year will be spectacular.
Before the colors are at their peak I look for
individual trees that have great color. I also scout
out areas that I think will look great at peak time so
I’ll be ready when the leaves finally turn. I prefer
areas that have the trees reflected in water.
Farm markets have some colorful shots and
don’t forget the cranberry harvest. Fallen leaves
make interesting patterns, so don’t forget to look
down.
A great way to enhance your images is using
a polarizing filter. This filter works the same
as polarizing sunglasses – it is designed to cut
glare and reflections. Removing the glare from
the leaves makes the colors brighter and more
saturated. Simply rotate the polarizing filter until
the sky or leaves are at their darkest.
Fall Foliage images are best shot on days
when there is no wind. By scouting a great

How to Avoid Three Common Myths
Standing in the Way of Retirement Security
[INSERT FOR GLBT version] (A Retirement Strategy is the roadmap that shows us where to go, provides
signposts along the way, and gets us back on track if we
make a wrong turn. With a Retirement Strategy in hand,
you have a better chance of getting where and when you
want to be - without it you may flounder, or even remain
stuck in the same place you are today.)
Today, most of us expect to live longer, healthier and
more active lives. How are you going to spend your time
in retirement? Will you visit family? Travel? Volunteer?
The possibilities are endless but when you do decide,
the next step is determining how your choices translate
into dollars and cents. So ask yourself: can you afford the
lifestyle you envision? Will you have dependents? What
will my other expenses be?
These are just a few of the questions that need answering, but following through still does not guarantee a dream
come true. There are 3 popular myths about retirement that
you want to avoid falling prey to.
Myth #l - Lower Expenses in Retirement
In the past, ifs been suggested that a good target for
retirement income was 50% to 80% of preretirement aftertax income. However, your mortgage might not decrease,
your healthcare and insurance costs may increase and with
more free time you may tend to spend more money, depending on your situation. In short, you can't just assume your
retirement income needs will decrease during retirement. A
good tactic is to base your planning on a range of scenarios.
Myth #2 - My Social Security and Pension will be Enough
Traditionally, income at retirement has come from three
sources - government programs, employer-sponsored plans,
and private savings. However, today private savings is becoming an increasingly more important part of the equation.
Social Security was never designed as an alternative to
personal responsibility. And, the higher your preretirement
income, the less you will receive from Social Security as
a percentage of pre-retirement income. When it comes to
employer-sponsored pension plans, the trend in recent years
has been for employers to offer tax-advantaged retirement
savings plans to employees instead of employer funded
pensions. One difference is that while a pension plan is
guaranteed, a retirement savings plans (401(k) plans are
the most popular) are subject to the ups and downs of the
stock market. Another difference is that retirement savings
plans today are often funded largely with the employee's
contributions. If you fail to contribute or make poor invest-
ment choices, the benefits you receive from your retirement
savings plans could turn out to be less than expected.
Myth #3 - I Know How Long My Money's Going to Last
Life expectancy is on the rise. You may end up being
retired longer than you were in the workforce and this can
make a big difference in how much you have to save while
still working. Your life expectancy can make a big difference. For example, if you start with a retirement nest egg
of $775,000 and earn 6% on your money, you can expect
to receive about $75,000 per year for 15 years before your
money runs out. If you live 20 years in retirement, you will
need to start with $915,255 instead of just $775,000, to stay
in the money for the duration of life.
After dispelling these myths, you may want to recalculate the estimate of what it's going to take to finance
the retirement lifestyle you envision. If you're like many
people, you may encounter a gap between what you need
and what you can expect to have. Your choices are pretty
straightforward:
• Delay your retirement date.
• Reduce your retirement income goal.
• Increase your savings level.
• Increase the return on your investment.
A well thought-out retirement strategy can be flexible
enough to incorporate these changes. A financial professional can get you started and help you monitor your
strategy over the years. Neither Prudential Financial, its
affiliates, nor its financial professionals, render tax or legal
advice. Please consult with attorney, accountant, and/or tax
advisor for advice concerning you particular circumstances.

Who has the Right of Way? The right of way is always
the same. When you took your driver’s test, you had to learn
the rules of the road in order to pass so I’m not going to go
thru that information.
Because there have been accidents in our communities
where the driver in the right lane was making a legal right
turn and a driver in the shoulder was making an illegal
right turn, I will remind you that if there is a solid white
line, dividing the shoulder from the right lane, the shoulder
should not be used as a turning lane. For your own safety,
do not use the shoulder as a turning lane. If the police see
you, they can, and probably will give you a ticket.
The Right of Way does not change when an emergency
vehicle, Police, Fire or Ambulance, is involved. The use of
lights and/or sirens on an emergency vehicle is a request
for you to yield the Right of Way.
I have heard all sorts of things about what lights and
sirens mean. They’re all wrong. Just because the ambulance is not running with either, doesn’t mean there is no
seriously ill patient on board. It’s always a good idea to
safely yield the Right of Way. If there is a life-threatening
situation on the ambulance, we, most likely will be running
with emergency lights and sirens.
How to safely yield the Right of Way: The Ambulance
obeys all traffic rules.
Do NOT stop short in a moving lane of traffic. We do
not want to see you as our next traffic accident call. Make
sure there is no one close behind you if you do stop. The
best way to yield, is to pull over to the right as soon and
as safely as possible. Be aware of who else is around you.
Assume that no one else sees or hears the ambulance
and yield the Right of Way so that you are safe and the
ambulance will safely take that Right of Way.
Assume the possibility that even if our patient’s situation is not life threatening, the patient on board may be
seriously ill or in terrible pain. There may be no emergency
lights in this situation, but consider safely yielding the Right
of Way any way. You would want to get to the hospital
ASAP if it were you.
Notice that I have used the words safe and safely
multiple times. We want you and, us to be safe. It is the
most important piece of our training and I would like to
pass it on to you.
Note from previous column: It’s a good idea to have
a key somewhere or lock code so EMS can get in without
breaking down your door. Most of us never think about that
until we call 9-1-1 and can’t get to the door.
We are the busiest EMS squad in Ocean County. We
need more help. Volunteer 1 day a week. You’ll be CPR
certified. We train you. Join HCBEMS at 100 Port Royal
Drive, 732-240-4999.
Now you can recycle Magazines, Phone Books and

YELLOW FEVER THREATENS THE GLOBE
Health Officials are scrambling to control yellow
fever outbreak in southern and central Africa before the
mosquito-borne illness spreads to Europe, Asia and the
Americas. Carried primarily by Aedes aegypti, the same
mosquito that spreads Zika and dengue, yellow fever has
already killed more than 400 people in Angola and the
Democratic Republic of Congo, the World Health Organization (WHO) reports. (Most people with yellow fever
experience only mild muscle pain jaundice and fever, but
a small percentage of patients develop a more severe form
-and about half of these die within several days). Efforts to
immunize more than 14 million people in the region have
been complicated by a global vaccine shortage as well as
humid conditions that provide fertile breeding grounds for
mosquitoes. Since the vaccine takes at least six months to

Bibliophilia is good for your health. A new study
suggests that people who read books regularly may add
two years to their lives. Researchers, at Yale University
examined the reading habits of 3,635 people over 50 and
found that the ones who buried their noses in a book for
more than 3.5 hours a week - or 30 minutes a day - were
23 percent less likely to die over the course of the 12 year
study. Even

percent less likely to die over the same period than their
non-reading peers. It’s unclear why reading is associated with this survival advantage, but researchers suggest
delving into novels promotes cognitive processes, such as
empathy and emotional intelligence, which can boost longevity. Unfortunately, reading magazines and newspapers
may not provide the same benefit. The reason a book has
the advantage is that the reader becomes engaged in his/
her mind, providing more cognitive benefit and therefore
increasing the life span.

Look for your heating parts and labor contract in the mail.
Research: The Washington Post
You may not have heard but Louisiana is underwater.
A biblical deluge of rain 2 1/2 months ago - 24 inches in
three days or what Seattle gets in an entire rainy season
- left Baton Rouge and surrounding areas devastated by
floods. At least 15 people died and 110,000 homes were
damaged or destroyed. Many of these homes were not in
flood plains, so homeowners didn't have flood insurance.
It is in short the worst natural disaster in the United States
since Superstorm Sandy in 2012. Yet the national media usually so drawn to "disaster porn" - has for the most part
remained wholly uninterested. This complaint isn't trivial
in New Orleans. Relief funding for disasters tends to be
commensurate with media attention. With national news
coverage scarce, Louisianans are understandably worried
that recovery funds will be just as scarce.
There are several reasons why these floods received so
little attention. Hurricanes and Storms with names - like
Sandy or Katrina - and telegenic winds generally create
much more media attention and public interest than torrential rainstorms. The rain hit when the Olympics and
the presidential election dominated news coverage, so on
a Friday night in August when many newsrooms - already
understaffed because of summer vacations - were emptying
out for the weekend. Unfortunately, Mother Nature doesn't
work on a 9 to 5 schedule.
When the media did pay attention to the flood, it focused on "political" theater. President Obama, on vacation
did not show up until a week later after being criticized for
not cutting short his vacation. Donald Trump the presidential nominee flew in to the affected area with many kinds of
gifts. But the far more important issue is that these floods
are "exactly what climate scientists have been warning. No
single weather event can be blamed on global warming,
but higher temperatures produce more extreme weather be it catastrophic flooding in Louisiana or drought driven
wildfires in California. This was America's eighth once in
every 500 years weather event over the past 15 months. Our
infrastructure and disaster response systems aren't equipped
to deal with such extremes. The tragedy in Louisiana should
serve as a warning," "This is what the future will look like."

Fresh Pumpkin Pie
(Submitted by Kathy Oldham)
Buy a big pumpkin! The little baby
sugar pumpkins have lots of flavor, but
they are expensive, and you don't get
much. So why not buy a great big cheap
pumpkin and get five times the fruit so
you can try some new pumpkin recipes,
plus loads of tasty pumpkin seeds? Note that you can also
substitute butternut squash for pumpkin.
Just wash off the outside, and start carving. Cut in
half or quarters or random chunks. Remove the seeds,
and scrape the strings off the inside with a big spoon. Oil
the flesh and place flesh side down on a jelly roll pan (a
cookie sheet with edges). Bake for about 40 minutes at
3500 or until tender (when you can easily pierce through
it with a knife). Baking your squash will give it that nutty
roasted flavor.
While your pumpkin is baking, clean off the seeds
and rinse them. Then spread the cleaned seeds in a single
layer on a cookie sheet, and sprinkle with a pinch or two
of salt to your taste. When the pumpkin is done, reduce
oven temp to 2000 and bake seeds for about 20 minutes
until dry, not brown.
Allow pumpkin to cool to handle, and then scrape the
flesh away from the peel with a spoon. Chop the flesh in
chunks. Throwaway the skins and the stem, or add them
to your compost pile.
Puree the pumpkin in batches. I like using an immersion blender, but you could also use a food processor or
a blender. Store two cup portions of pureed pumpkin in
your freezer for later use. Use pumpkin in soups, sauces,
pudding, pie, cake, cookies, candy, etc.

TO STAY SLIM, EAT MORE GOOD FAT
Americans have long viewed fat as a dietary enemy
in the waistline wars instead filling their shopping carts
with all manner of fat-free fare. But a new study is turning
conventional wisdom on its head, suggesting the key to
keeping thin is eating more fat. The researchers analyzed
56 past studies investigating the link between diet and
chronic diseases often tied to obesity. They found that
people following a Mediterranean diet - rich in “healthy”
unsaturated fats like olive oil, nuts, fatty fish and avocados,
along with other fruits, legumes and whole grains - had a
29 percent lower risk for heart disease and stroke. The risk
for breast cancer also dropped 57 percent and the chances
of developing type 2 diabetes fell by 30 percent. The researchers argue that when it comes to obesity and related
diseases, processed carbohydrates and sugar, not fat, are
the real culprits. So how much fat is good for you? If you
are eating healthy fats that are monosaturated fats like olive
oil or canola oil, you don’t necessarily have to limit them.
The good fats make people feel full, helping them avoid
too many carbohydrates.
HOTEST YEAR EVER
Just half-way through 2016, sweltering June temperatures all but guaranteed that this year will surpass 2015 as
the hottest ever recorded, according to NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
“2016 has really blown that out of the water, NASA tells
Scientific American.” In June, the world was 1.62 degrees
hotter than the average June in the 20th century. It was the
14 consecutive month of record heat for the planet -the
longest streak of record breaking temperatures since people
began keeping records in 1881. The Earth’s average global
temperature for the first six months of 2016 was also 2.4
degrees warmer than it was in the late 19th century. A powerful El Nino was partially responsible for recent increases,
but NASA says that rising concentrations of greenhouse
gases in the atmosphere are fueling a long term warming
trend. We are in a neighborhood beyond anything we had
seen before early 2015, says NOAA’s. We have honestly
left the 20th century far behind. This is a Big Deal.
RAMPANT ROAD RAGE
Four out of five United States drivers experienced road
rage over the past year, a new AAA Foundation study shows
and 90 percent feel threatened by such aggression. Based
on a survey of 2,705 licensed drivers, researchers estimate
that more than 50 percent ofthe nation’s 210 million driver’s
holler at other motorist or purposefully tailgate them, while
45 percent honk out of fury or frustration. Drivers also
admit to cutting people off or preventing other cars from
changing lanes. The survey also shows that about 4 percent
of all drivers - roughly 8 million people - have gone so far
as intentionally ramming other cars or leaving their own
vehicle to confront another driver. Road rage also inspires
more than a few obscene gestures - a practice 30 percent
more common among drivers in the Northeast. The risks
are significant. The study showed that 56 percent of fatal
car accidents - which typically kill 40,000 Americans each
year - involved aggressive driving. Researchers advise
motorist to find their happy place behind the wheel. Be
tolerant, AAA tells its members, don’t engage, and focus
on getting to your destination safely.

Submitted By Bernadette S. Whitmeyer
One thing I will say about scammers, they don't discriminate. Ocean County because it is sixth in the United
States for seniors, has dozens of seniors running to their
bank for money orders because they received a call from the
dreaded IRS. But what you need to know is the following:
The IRS doesn't call people; it sends letters in the mail,
usually registered
The IRS doesn't ask for a money order
The IRS does not discuss how much or how little you
owe over the phone and they never give you a deal if you
act immediately.
All of the above are scammers who think they can get
a payday from a senior who has all their life been nothing
but honest on their tax return. So seniors, PLEASE DON'T

slow down. The bill boards read, "Being Mister Late is always better than being the Late Mister"
Reaction, it is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err.
Right Track, even if you are on the right track, you won't get anywhere if you are standing still
Evolutionary Descendants, if we were only considering the social behavior of mankind and
of the great apes, we could very well conclude that the great apes evolved from man
Guidance, support and self-confidence are the keys to help a person excel in life
The friend to all, the friend of all is truth, no matter how unwelcome on arrival
Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience ... this is the ideal life
Attitude, the difference between a helping hand and an outstretched palm is a twist of the wrist
Bravery, some have been thought to be brave because they were afraid to run away
Being grateful, use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be struck blind; hear the music of voices,
the song of the bird as if you would be struck deaf
Responsibility, some given the scepter of responsibility confuse it with a club of authority
Be yourself, if you try to be someone else, who will be you?
Yesterday's memories impact our life today,
make today worthwhile so that tomorrow it may impact your future for the best

Makes 1/4 cup, total time 35 minutes
This bright green oil is a great finishing touch to the
Roasted Butternut Squash-Apple Soup
1/2 (1 ounce) package fresh chives
1/3 cup olive oil
1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1/4 tsp. lemon zest
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
**Fill a large bowl with ice
**Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a small skillet. Add
chives and simmer 5-10 seconds or until chives are bright
green and tender. Immediately place skillet in ice. Remove

water. Wipe skillet clean.

heat, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or until walnuts are

them in the refrigerator. Their polyunsaturated fats can
turn rancid quickly with fluctuation in temperature, so store
properly, to enjoy them until they’re gone.

tbsp. ginger juice in a large pitcher. Place small pieces of
crystallized ginger in 6 Champagne flutes and fill each
with equal amounts of sparkling wine (or Champagne)
and juice mixture.

The Best of Led Bulbs
Submitted By Bernadette S. Whitmeyer
Walmart Great Value LED 60W Equivalent
In recent years, energy-efficient LED bulbs have plummeted in price. This soft white 10 Watt option "hits all the
marks" that make a bulb great, dimming relatively evenly
and lasting up to 25,000 hours.
$4.00 Walmart
Philips Dimmable 60W Equivalent
The step up in price for this Philips is well worth it if
you plan on dimming your lights. Many LEDS dim moderately well but in our tests, the Philips produced little to
no detectable buzz or flicker - even with older switches.

Wi-Fi enabled smart bulb can take 16 million different hues,
with more accurate color rendition than its direct competitors. It's also brighter more efficient and easier to use.
$60.00 Iifx.com
Philips Hue White E26
Sold separately or in a $79.00 starter package, the Hue
White 26 represents the best way to bring smart lighting
to your home on a reasonable budget. A control hub in
the starter kit lets you control up to 50 Hue bulbs with a
smartphone app.

GE Reveal BR30
Among indoor LED floodlights, this 65 watt equivalent
GE bulb outperforms all rivals on color quality and dim
ability and it isn't all that close. It uses slightly more energy,
but it'll make the colors in your home look more vivid.
