    Perhaps you own a compa-

    ny and you are trying togrow your business the

    tried and true way through

    good will and refer-

    rals, but havent

    achieved the growth

    you have wanted. Our

    firm is a prime exam-

    ple of this. We gain

    new clients and lose

    some due to compa-

    nies going out of busi-

    ness and people mov-ing out of State.

    Consider the idea of a

    merger or acquisition. You may

    be thinking that you dont

    have the capital or cant raise

    the capital needed to do this.

    You may be in better shape

    than you think. Banks and

    prospects may be willing to

    work with you under yourterms. First you will need to

    determine a few things. How

    much of a deposit could you

    give to a prospective seller?

    What would your preference be

    of the volume of the business

    that you would be looking to

    merge with or acquire? Do you

    have a good relationship with

    your bank to secure a line of

    business credit? What steps do Ineed to take first? Lets use our

    firm as an example and look at

    the steps involved.

    We decided to look

    for a small acquisition

    to our practice. Our

    target would be a

    practitioner looking

    to retire within the

    next few years or

    someone who had a

    small tax business onthe side and had

    taken a full time job who was

    looking to sell. Next we want-

    ed the billings to be within

    100K to 150K with a mix of

    business and individual clients.

    We secured a line of credit

    P

    umpkins are a common

    sight come around

    Halloween. This fruit ofthe fall is often used in deco-

    rating the interior and exteri-

    or of homes, but can

    be an integral com-

    ponent of cooking

    and baking as well.

    Little thought is

    given to pumpkins

    and their makeup.

    But pumpkin afi-

    cionados who want

    to know more aboutthese delicious

    gourds can dig into

    the following facts.

    Pumpkins are a member

    of the squash family that

    grows on long vines close to

    the ground. Before pumpkin

    fruit grows, brightly colored

    flowers will form and then

    turn into pumpkins. Pumpkins

    adapt too many climates andare grown on all of the conti-

    nents except Antarctica.

    In colonial times, settlers

    and natives alike relied on

    pumpkin as a staple of their

    diets. The British saw the pos-

    sibilities of pumpkins as a food

    source and brought seeds back

    to Europe to enjoy as well.

    Pumpkins are comprisedof several parts. The pumpkin

    is covered in a skin that sur-

    rounds the pulp, or

    the meaty part of the

    pumpkin. The stem is

    at the top of the

    pumpkin and con-

    nects to the vine.

    Tendrils are thin

    pieces of vine that

    tether the pumpkin to

    the ground to protectit from the wind and

    weather. The inside of

    the pumpkin is

    known as the cavity and can

    contain seeds and fibrous

    strands. The bottom of the

    pumpkin is known as the blos-

    Pumpkins are a common sight in fields and athomes and businesses come October.

    from our bank. Now we will

    begin our marketing plan.

    So what will you need to

    do first? The first step is to

    make sure your own house is inorder. In other words, you must

    make sure your business is

    strong enough to make an

    acquisition and that you have

    systems in place. A lot of small

    businesses considered Mom

    and Pop organizations dont

    have a lot of systems in place.

    They may do a very good job

    managing their business but in

    order for the business to go the

    next level a set of processes and

    procedures must be put in place

    for human recourses, finances,inventory, marketing, technol-

    ogy etc. So, before even look-

    ing at expanding through

    acquisition the first step is

    make sure your business is in

    order and strong enough to

    take on an acquisition.

    Next identify your target

    market. Decide if a merger or

    acquisition makes sense for

    your business. In a merger, you

    may become a partner in a larg-

    er firm and roll your clients

    under their name. Or it may betwo smaller firms joining to

    become a larger presence in a

    local community. If you are

    doing an acquisition instead, it

    could be that you prefer to be

    the sole owner as opposed to

    being in a partnership with

    someone else. In the case of a

    merger to a larger firm, you

    would want to do your due dili-

    gence. You would want to see a

    business valuation, a cash flow

    analysis, review the current

    bank statements, tax returns,financial statements, preferably

    audited or reviewed by a CPA

    firm. You would also want to

    spend time at the new firm to

    make sure there is a good fit of

    personalities and that they

    adhere to the same ethics that

    your firm does. This step would

    also apply to anyone doing an

    acquisition once you have

    identified a strong prospect. If

    you are choosing the acquisi-

    tion route, think about the

    length of time that you wouldneed to pay off the debt that

    you will incur. Next, identify

    the volume of the business that

    you can afford to absorb and

    pay off over the time limit that

    you have established.

    At this step you would

    also want to know if you would

    be keeping the former owner

    on as an employee or simply as

    an hourly consultant or not at

    all. Some companies choose tokeep the former owner on for a

    transition year to allow the

    clients to meet the new profes-

    sional who will be servicing

    them. Its very important to

    have a plan for integration.

    Next you would need to

    secure a deposit to give to the

    seller and to set up terms in a

    contract that are agreeable to

    by both sides. You would obvi-

    ously get your attorney andCPA involved to review the

    contract and the books of the

    prospect. If possible, present a

    business plan to your bank to

    discuss the reason for the busi-

    ness line of credit. If your bank

    is not actively pursuing small

    business loans, pursue other

    avenues such as the SBA orother banks. Once you have

    secured a line of credit, you

    would be able to set up terms

    that both you and the prospect

    can live with. The typical deal

    would consist of a deposit to

    the seller along with a note.

    The seller holds a note and is

    paid off over an agreed term

    including interest.

    Some firms begin the

    acquisition phase because anopportunity arises to acquire a

    new firm. Others begin with

    the intent to find a prospect.

    Once you know your target

    market, target price and have

    secured the money for your

    deposit, you can begin to mar-

    ket for a prospect. Businesses

    can spread the word through

    their local chamber of com-

    merce and other networking

    partners of the local newspa-pers. This would be appropriate

    if you are looking to keep your

    Now that school is in

    full swing, most stu-

    dents are carrying

    backpacks that are much too

    heavy for them causing delete-

    rious effects to the body.

    Among school aged children,

    there has been a rise in the

    incidence of back pack related

    pain and stiffness affecting the

    neck, shoulders, back and

    chest. Backpacks also factor

    into the increase in non-trau-

    matic back pain in children

    under the age of 18.

    School aged children are

    very susceptible to back pack

    related back pain since they

    are likely to carry loads that are

    too heavy in proportion to

    their body weight. Medical

    professionals recommend that

    a childs backpack should be no

    heavier than 15% of his or her

    body weight. Unfor-tunately itis not uncommon for a 90

    pound child to be carrying a 30

    pound backpack, a third of his

    or her body weight.

    Backpacks, when worn

    correctly, cause less stress on

    the body than other book bags.

    Backpacks allow for a more

    even weight distribution (as

    long as both shoulder straps are

    used) than shoulder bags or

    purses that have the weight onone side of the body. Backpack

    related injuries are due to the

    misuse of backpacks. Some

    symptoms associated with

    backpack misuse are shoulder,

    neck, and lower back pain,

    muscle spasm and numbness

    and tingling in the hands and

    fingers.

    To avoid risk of injury and

    postural problems, follow these

    backpack tips:Scale down the contents

    to the essentials. The child

    should leave as many heavy

    books in the locker as possible

    and pack only the most neces-

    sary books. Try to bring home

    handouts and lighter work-

    books.

    Pack appropriately. The

    heaviest books should beplaced in the center of the

    back closest to the spine.

    When the heaviest books are

    placed on the side or the outer-

    most compartment of the

    backpack, this results in

    uneven weight bearing and

    encourages back arching caus-

    ing subsequent back pain.

    Lighten the load. The

    backpack should weigh no

    more than 15% of your childsbody weight, 10% is ideal. Too

    much weight will cause your

    child to walk bent forward to

    support the weight on the

    back.

    Wear the pack correctly.

    The backpack should be cen-

    tered in the middle of the

    shoulders and tightened so it

    sits flush against the spine.

    The straps of the pack should

    be tightened so the top of the

    pack is in line with the tops of

    the shoulders. Padded straps

    are very important. Non-

    padded straps can dig into

    the muscles causing numbness

    and tingling in the hands and

    fingers.

    Pick up the pack with

    proper body mechanics. In-

    stead of stooping over to pick

    up the pack, the child should

    squat down by bending the

    knees and stand up using the

    legs.

    Buy the best backpack.

    Purchase a pack with multiple

    compartments in order to place

    the heaviest books in the com-

    partment closest to the body.

    Buy a pack with wide padded

    shoulder straps.

    If your child is complain-

    ing of back pain from a back-

    pack use a book-carrier on

    wheels instead. Also, call your

    pediatric physical therapist to

    assess any adverse affects from

    backpack use.

    Posture affects all human

    functions, both con-

    sciously and uncon-

    sciously, from breathing to

    thinking. (American Journal

    of Pain Management, January,

    1994)

    Checking your childs

    posture is one of the simplest,

    yet most important things par-

    ents can do to ensure the pres-

    ent and future health of their

    children. Few parents, how-

    ever, are ever given the tools

    to adequately assess posture.

    The following are some key

    points to look for:

    1) First have your child

    stand facing you, relaxed with

    feet in line and slightly apart.

    Have them nod their head a

    couple of times with eyes

    closed, then look straight

    ahead.

    2) Always start at the feet.

    The centre of the pelvis

    should be directly in line with

    the midpoint between the

    feet. Is the pelvis shifted to

    the left or to the right? Does

    the pelvis appear rotated to

    the left or right? Is one side of

    the pelvis lower?

    3) Now assess the thorax

    (chest) in relation to the

    pelvis. Is the midpoint of the

    chest bone directly above the

    midpoint of the pelvis? If not,

    which way is it shifted? Is one

    shoulder lower than the other?

    Does one hand hang lower?

    Does the thorax appear rotat-

    ed relative to the pelvis?

    4) Finally, look at the head.

    Draw a mental line from the

    midpoint between the eyes to

    the centre of the upper lip. Is

    it vertical or tilted? Is the

    head aligned directly above

    the centre of the chest bone,

    or off to one side? Is the face

    rotated to the left or right?

    Does your dogs or cats

    ears have an odor?

    Are they scratching

    or shaking their head? Is there

    dirt-like material in the ears?

    What could it be? What

    should I do? This could be an

    ear infection and you should

    seek medical assistance from

    your veterinarian before the

    condition worsens and

    becomes painful. Ear infec-

    tions are very common. Based

    on data from pet insurance

    companies, ear infections are

    a top ten reason for dogs and

    cats to visit their veterinarian.

    Dogs and cats can have

    ear infections or inflammation

    of the ear canal for many dif-

    ferent reasons such as allergies

    (seasonal/environmental or

    food allergies ), parasites like

    ear mites , foreign bodies like

    plant awns, endocrine diseases

    such as an underactive thy-

    roid, your pets ear anatomy

    like excess hair or moisture,

    hereditary or immune condi-

    tions, and tumors.

    Pets with allergies, either

    to food or something they

    inhale, often have ear prob-

    lems. Allergies are typically

    the most common cause of ear

    infections that veterinarians

    see. Sometimes these ear

    problems may

    be the first sign

    of an allergy.

    The inflamma-

    tion from aller-

    gies changes the

    envi ronment

    within the ear,

    which leads to

    secondary infec-

    tions with bac-

    teria or yeast. If

    we just treat the

    infection, we

    are not getting

    to the root of

    the problem. We need to treat

    the allergies too with diet tri-

    als, immunotherapy or med-

    ication.

    Ear mites are a more

    common cause of ear prob-

    lems in cats than in dogs. The

    resultant itching can be

    intense and may be present

    elsewhere on the body not just

    the ears. When ear discharge

    is seen, many people will

    assume that their pets ear

    infection is due to ear mites.

    Ear mites discharge has a dis-

    tinctive black coffee-ground

    appearance whereas infectious

    discharge is moister and

    ranges from brown to yellow.

    Other causes of ear infec-

    tions include foreign bodies,

    most notably plant awns.

    They can cause irritation,

    your pet scratches, and before

    you know it we have an ear

    infection. Certain endocrine

    diseases can cause skin and ear

    problems such as hypothy-

    roidism and Cushings disease.

    Certain dog breeds with

    heavy, floppy ears such as

    Cocker Spaniels may be pre-

    disposed due to

    the excess mois-

    ture that builds

    up in their ears.

    B e c a u s e

    there are many

    potential causes

    of ear problems,

    the next step is

    to visit your vet-

    erinarian for a

    diagnosis. Your

    veterinarian will

    use an otoscope

    to look down

    into the ear

    canal. Swabs of the ear can be

    taken (called an ear cytology),

    and examined for bacteria,

    yeast, and mites. If a bacterial

    infection does not respond to

    the first antibiotic therapy, a

    culture and sensitivity may

    need to be performed. A thor-

    ough history and physical

    exam may help determine if

    this could be a hormonal,

    allergic, or hereditary

    problem and further

    diagnostic testing

    would be needed.

    It is important to

    visit your veterinarian

    promptly for a diagno-

    sis and treatment if

    you suspect an ear infection. If

    left unattended they can

    become very painful, lead to

    permanently narrow canals or

    an ear hematoma. Ear

    hematomas most commonly

    occur when a dog or cat

    shakes its head from an ear

    infection, the ear hits the top

    of their head, a blood vessel in

    the ear ruptures and the loose

    space under the skin will fill

    up with blood. These will

    have a noticeably swollen,

    fluid-filled ear that is extreme-

    ly painful to the touch. The

    treatment of choice for ear

    hematomas is surgery.

    The key to healthy ears is

    early treatment and preven-

    tion. Check your pets ears

    weekly. A slight amount of

    waxy buildup may be present

    in normal ears. If your dog

    swims a lot, has pendulous

    ears, or a history of ear disease,

    routine cleaning may be rec-

    ommended. Excess hair

    around the ear can be clipped

    by your groomer to allow more

    air flow. Its also important to

    treat any underlying condi-

    tion, like allergies; otherwise

    the condition will likely recur.

    5) Now stand close behind

    your child. Making sure their

    feet are in line, look down: Is

    one buttock more forward or

    back? Are the two dimples at

    the top of the buttocks in line

    with the heels, or is one side

    back? Looking up, is one

    shoulder blade forward or

    back?

    6) Lastly, stand at the side of

    your child about five feet away.

    Draw another mental line,

    starting at a point about an

    inch in front of the big ankle

    bone. It should extend verti-

    cally up through the centre of

    the hip bone, up through the

    centre of the ear. Is the centre

    of the hip forward of this line

    (a very common fault)?

    Where does the shoulder lie?

    Is the centre of the ear forward

    (another common fault)?

    7) There are three spinal

    curves when looking from the

    side. Is there a very deep curve

    in the lower back? Does the

    abdomen protrude? Does the

    top of the pelvis look like its

    rocked forward? Is the middle

    and upper back excessively

    rounded, or very flat? Are the

    shoulders rounded? Does the

    curve in the neck appear non-

    existent or excessive?

    Check your childrens

    posture regularly. If you feel

    after evaluating your childs

    posture that there is an abnor-

    mallity, then call your family

    Chiropracic physician for fur-

    ther evaluation.

    are the owners of Advance

    have merged chiropractic and

    physical therapy services togeth-

    er to enhance the quality of

    patient care and overall treat-

    ment outcome. If you have

    For kids, few holidays

    are more anticipated

    than Halloween. The

    chance to dress up in cos-

    tume and patrol the neigh-

    borhood with friends while

    collecting treats is the high-

    light of many a childs

    autumn.

    For parents, anticipa-

    tion is replaced by anxiety.

    While kids are out trick-or-

    treating, parents may be

    home or at work hoping their

    kids are safe and sound.

    Because Halloween is so pop-

    ular among kids, its hard for

    parents to forbid trick-or-

    treating. But parents should

    instruct kids on the following

    tips to ensure this

    Halloween is as safe

    as it is fun.

    Strangers homes

    are off limits. Make

    sure kids know they

    should never enter

    the home of a

    stranger, no matter

    how friendly or wel-

    coming that stranger

    may seem.

    Theres no going it

    alone. Kids should

    not be permitted to

    Theres a vampire on the

    loose, and its not

    Edward Cullen or one

    of the other Twilight gang.

    The trouble is this vampire

    doesnt only lurk at night. Its

    continually sucking up your

    money and affecting the envi-

    ronment. But there is a way to

    stop it without sunlight, garlic

    or wooden stakes. All you may

    have to do is pull the plug.

    Vampire power, also

    known by another ghoulish

    name phantom load is

    the power many plugged-in

    devices use even when theyre

    in the off position. Chances

    are if the plug is warm, its suck-

    ing electricity, wasting energy

    and costing you money.

    The Energy Information

    Administration reports that in

    the United States alone, vam-

    pire power costs individuals

    more than $3 billion a year.

    While one cell phone charger

    does not an energy crisis make,

    multiply all of the microwaves,

    televisions, alarm clocks, A/C

    adaptors, etc. that are plugged

    in throughout homes across the

    world, and one can quickly see

    how vampire power can do its

    share of damage. Its estimated

    that many electrical devices use

    more energy and cost con-

    sumers more in the hours

    theyre not being used simply

    from vampire power drain.

    Vampire power varies inits level of destruction. Some

    devices, such as chargers, have

    been nicknamed wall warts

    because they can waste up to 50

    percent of power since theyre

    always plugged in. They con-

    tinually provide a charge even

    if there is no device. Other

    devices, such as electric coffee

    pots or microwaves use vampire

    power to keep clocks working

    or to illuminate digital displays.

    ing of internal temperature to

    know when to kick the motor

    into gear. Televisions use phan-

    tom load to be ready on a

    moments notice to recognize a

    remote control signal. Other

    devices use the energy to make

    sure they dont have to warmup before use; certain parts of

    the device are on all of the

    time.

    There is a growing threat

    of vampire power proliferation.

    As long as new technological

    devices come on the market,

    the chance for the vampire tosink its teeth into the electrical

    supply continues. All of these

    devices are known vampires:

    TVs, VCRs, DVD players,

    answering machines, MP3players, cell phones, stereos,

    laptops, and desktops. Also,

    look out for anything with a

    remote, anything with a charg-

    er or anything with a clock dis-play.

    Fight Vampire Power Pests

    1. Reduce the demand for

    energy. Gadgets are certainly

    fun, but think about if you needa multitude of these devices.

    fied electronics and appliances,

    which generally use less power.

    3. Seek out the real off

    switch. Some devices have a

    soft power switch on the front

    that simply powers down thedevice. The real off switch

    may be located in the back.

    4. When in doubt, simply

    unplug it from the outlet.

    5. Use a power strip. Plug all of

    your devices into one power

    strip and turn off the power

    strip when not in use. This pro-

    vides less hassle than juggling

    plugs and outlets.6. Invest in a smart strip, which

    measures power usage of com-

    puters and peripherals.

    Therefore, when you shut

    down the computer, the

    peripherals get powered down,

    too.

    7. Use a Kill-A-Watt device.

    It tells you how much power an

    electronic is using when on oroff. Itll help you identify the

    biggest power drains.

    Part of the fun of

    Halloween is arrivinghome after a day of

    trick-or-treating and having

    some spooktacular treats to

    enjoy. Whether

    youre hosting a

    Halloween party

    or simply feeding a

    group of hungry,

    costumed kids, fun

    recipes that turn

    ordinary foods

    into spooky spe-cialties are essen-

    tial.

    Mummy Wraps

    Take the

    pigs in a blanket

    concept to a

    new level with this clever

    treat. Simply wrap hot dogs

    with strips of dough cut from

    refrigerator biscuits or bread-

    sticks to simulate the look of

    mummy shrouds. Place themon cookie sheets. Cut small

    slits for eyes and place pep-

    percorns or black mustard

    seeds to serve as the eyes.

    Bake for about 15 minutes, or

    until golden brown. To serve

    upright, place shish kabob

    skewers in the mummies

    before baking and then stickthe mummies in a piece of

    craft foam covered in cheese-

    cloth.

    Cheesy Fingers

    Whats scarier than dis-

    membered digits on a plate?

    All it takes is a package of

    mozzarella string cheese, aknife and some small, thin

    slices of green and red bell

    peppers for this gross delicacy.

    Cut the cheese sticks in

    half and then use a knife to

    carve straight indentations to

    simulate the bends in the skin

    around the knuckles of the

    fingers. At the top, carve outa flattened area for the finger-

    nail. Then place very small

    slices of red or green peppers

    to serve as the

    spooky fingernails.

    Adhere with a dab

    of cream cheese.

    Bottomless Bog

    This eerie bog

    will make children

    question what is

    inside.Make a large

    bowl of green gela-

    tin dessert and pop

    in different edible

    creepy crawlies

    before allowing the

    gelatin to set. Gummy worms,

    grape eyeballs, sour fish,

    pieces of fruit tape, and any-

    thing else you can think of

    can be added. Kids will scoop

    out the dessert and discoverthe frightening things inside.

    Skull Potatoes

    Turn ordinary potatoes

    into something seemingly

    more sinister.

    Safety first on Halloween

    go out alone. When trick-or-

    treating, kids should always

    be accompanied not only by

    their friends, but there must

    be at least one adult chaper-

    one present at all times.Parents should get together

    several weeks before

    Halloween to determine who

    will chaperone, where kids

    will be trick-or-treating and

    during what hours.

    Stay close to home. Kids

    should stay in their own

    neighborhood and only visit

    homes of neighbors they

    know. Advise kids to steer

    clear of homes whose doorsare hidden from street view.

    Chaperones should accompa-

    ny kids to the front door if

    visibility from the street is

    poor.

    Choose safe costumes. Kids

    should wear costumes made

    of light colored material. If a

    child insists on a favorite

    costume that uses largely

    dark material, attach reflec-

    tive tape to the costume so

    your favorite reveler is easily

    visible to motorists duringtwilight and nighttime hours

    when its not always easy for

    drivers to see.

    No toy guns. Toy guns are

    just asking for trouble, as

    many of todays replicas are

    easily confused with the real

    thing. Play it safe and choose

    costumes that arent acces-

    sorized with toy guns.

    Bring a flashlight along.

    Night falls quickly in lateOctober, so kids and chaper-

    ones alike should carry a

    flashlight to improve their

    visibility and make them

    more visible to passing

    motorists.

    Stick to the sidewalks.

    Trick-or-treaters should stick

    to the sidewalks and always

    cross the street at corners.

    Dont walk in the street, and

    never walk between parked

    cars when crossing the street,

    as its especially difficult formotorists to anticipate pedes-

    trians walking or running

    from behind parked cars into

    the street.

    Be wary of masks. Many

    masks restrict a childs vision,

    so look for one that provides

    sufficient visibility. If a

    childs favorite mask is low

    on visibility, make children

    agree to remove their mask

    when crossing the street.Parents understandably

    worry when kids go trick-or-

    treating. But a few simple

    safety lessons shared with

    children can ensure everyone

    gets home safe.

    and carve each half into a

    skull shape, sort of like the

    outline of a pear. Bake until

    the potatoes are cooked

    through then frost with sour

    cream. Use pieces of cheese

    to mimic decaying teeth.

    Black olives can be eyes and

    nose sockets of the skull.

    Quesadilla Ghosts

    An open-faced quesadil-

    la can be turned into a spookyspecter.

    Cut ghost-shaped pieces

    from flour tortilla shells.

    Sprinkle with shredded

    Monterey jack cheese and

    allow baking in the oven

    until the cheese has melted

    and the ghosts are crisp.

    Spread sour cream over the

    cheese and then use slices of

    scallion for the eyes and a

    ring of jalapeno pepper for amouth. Ghosts can be made

    gory with salsa as blood.

    Vampire Veggies

    What if veggies could

    suck blood? Conduct this sci-

    ence experiment and enjoy

    eating the research afterward.

    Cut the ends off of stalks

    of celery. Place the celery in a

    tall glass filled half-way with

    tomato juice overnight. The

    celery should absorb the juicethrough the thin channels in

    the stalks. The next day kids

    can bite into the stalks and

    see the red streaks inside.

    Spider web Garnish

    Top cupcakes, cookies

    and cakes with delicate,

    homemade spider webs

    Melt white chocolate

    baking melts in the

    microwave or per the manu-

    facturers instructions. Use asqueeze bottle or a small spat-

    ula to drizzle the chocolate

    onto a piece of waxed paper

    in the shape of a spider web.

    Allow the chocolate to cool

    and then carefully peel off the

    paper.

    Mashed Brains

    Create a shepherds pie-

    inspired dinner thats

    inspired by the look of

    brains.Make your favorite

    meatloaf or hamburger recipe

    and place into a ramekin or

    even cupcake pans. Whip up

    a batch of homemade or

    instant mashed potatoes.

    Using a pastry bag fitted with

    an ordinary cake decorating

    tip you can pipe squiggly

    lines of potato across the

    meat. Bake for around 20

    minutes, until meat is thor-

    oughly cooked and potatoesare crisp.

    Garden Club maintains several

    public gardens in the Wayne

    area; this provides club mem-

    bers with the opportunity to

    improve their gardening skillsby being involved with projects

    that beautify the local commu-

    nity. Join now to make your

    gardening knowledge and

    friendships blossom.

    Jewish Family Service of

    North Jersey, a recipient of

    financial assistance from UJA

    Federation of North Jersey, is

    expanding its Kosher Meals on

    Wheels program in Wayne.The Meals on Wheels Program

    provides hot, nutritious kosher

    meals to people age 60 and

    over, or those younger who

    have a disability and who are

    unable to cook or shop.

    Volunteer drivers bring needed

    meals; offer a smile, a greeting

    and a personal contact to the

    elderly, many of whom seldom

    get out. Drivers are needed to

    deliver meals two times amonth. Presently, we are

    som end because thats where

    the flower started before the

    pumpkin formed.

    Most varieties of pump-

    kins are edible, but some taste

    better than others. Oncepumpkins turn orange they

    can be eaten. People bake the

    meat into pies, soups and

    stews. It can also be used in

    breads and cakes. Pumpkin

    puree can replace the oil in

    cake recipes much in the same

    way applesauce can. Adding

    pumpkin to recipes provides a

    healthy way to increase nutri-

    tional value.

    There are many interest-ing pieces of trivia regarding

    pumpkins. Here are some

    things to ponder.

    Pumpkins were once

    believed to eliminate freckles

    and were also used as a reme-

    dy for snake bites.

    In 2007, people in Boston

    earned the world record for

    the most lit pumpkins with

    30,128 twinkling jack-o-

    lanterns.

    Thousands of people partici-pate in pumpkin chucking, an

    event where air cannons pro-

    pel pumpkins thousands of

    feet. Each year people com-

    pete to see who can launch a

    pumpkin the farthest.

    On September 25, 2010,

    people in New Bremen, Ohio,

    broke their own record when

    they baked a 3,699 pound

    pumpkin, surpassing their

    prior record of 2,020 pounds.Pumpkins are a seasonal

    delight too many come the

    fall. But in addition to being

    delicious, theyre also inter-

    esting.

    H

    itting a foul shot can

    be tough, especially

    for a local youngsterwho wants to win the Elks

    Hoop Shoot free throw

    contest. He or she stands at

    the free throw line, bounces

    the basketball a few times,

    looks up at the hoop, pumps

    up the shot. The youngster

    then watches it hit the rim,

    roll around a couple of times,

    and drop in.

    Now, local kids can

    participate in the WayneElks Lodge #2181 National
