"Gangster Turkeys" Destroy
New Jersey Town

TEANECK, N.J., (UPI) -- A group of wild turkeys have struck fear into several residents of a New Jersey town by harassing residents and causing property damage. Courtney Lopchinsky of Teaneck told CBS 2 that a wild turkey burst through her kitchen window as she was eating dinner with her children.
"I grabbed the kids and we literally ran for our lives out of the house because we were so scared," she said. "All of a sudden it went straight through the window...we were covered in glass. The turkey was covered in mud and water and kept flapping its wings throwing mud water everywhere."
Lopchinsky told NJ.com that the turkey, which caused $6,000 worth of property damage, is part of a pack of four that is known for causing trouble throughout the neighborhood.
"They're like gangster turkeys," she said "They terrorize kids at bus stops and chase people to their cars."
New Jersey Fish and Wildlife are working to trap and relocate the turkeys, but Health Officer Ken Katter encouraged residents to avoid the turkeys as they are particularly aggressive during mating season.
"Start by not confronting turkeys to start with, you can chase them away making noises, water hoses, or even your leashed dog," he said.
Lopchinsky hopes that a solution can be found that will keep both the turkeys and the residents of Teaneck from any more harm.
"There has to be a peaceful solution. They can't just keep ransacking the neighborhood," she said.

3 Ways Your Home Value Can Help in Retirement

(BPT) - Your retirement. Your golden years to spend doing the things you enjoy - hobbies, travel, more time with family, and so on. But can you afford to live your post-paycheck life the way you always hoped?
Research from the National Retirement Risk Index estimates that more than 50 percent of households lack enough retirement funds to maintain their pre-retirement standard of living — even if they work until age 65.
It’s a scary statistic, especially if you’re approaching retirement age and don’t feel financially prepared to leave the workforce. Fortunately, even if you are facing a retirement shortfall, you do have options to help supplement your savings. For senior homeowners, those options could be in the walls around you.
Financial planning experts and academics from The American College, Boston College, Columbia University, and MIT, agree that incorporating home equity into a retirement plan helps savings last longer. The question is: what’s the best way to access your home’s equity? Here are three popular options.
1. The home equity line of credit (HELOC)
A HELOC allows you to establish a line of credit based on a percentage of the value of your home. You can then access this credit during a predetermined amount of time called a “draw period,” usually 10 years. During the draw period, you can borrow up to the designated amount while making monthly interest payments, and, if you choose to pay back on the principal, you can draw out again, much like a credit card. After the draw period when the HELOC resets, you are responsible for repaying the principal and interest either immediately or over a set period of time depending on the terms of the loan. You should be aware that if your home value depreciates, or if your financial circumstances change, the lender has the right to freeze your credit or even cancel your loan.
2. Reverse mortgage
A reverse mortgage is a loan that senior homeowners age 62 or older can use to convert part of the equity in their home into a usable asset, without giving up title or ownership of the house. According to Professor Wade Pfau of The American College, “the reverse-mortgage option should be viewed as a method for responsible retirees to create liquidity from an otherwise illiquid asset.”
Reverse mortgages are attractive to seniors, in part, because they require no monthly payment and do not have to be paid off until the last borrower permanently leaves the home. You have the option of taking the loan proceeds as a lump sum, a fixed monthly or tenured payment, or as a line of credit. Last year, more than two-thirds of borrowers took a combination of regular payments and a line of credit.
Reverse mortgages also feature a non-recourse provision that protects you from ever owing the lender more than the value of your home, even if the house is “underwater” when you are ready to sell.
You are still responsible for paying your property taxes, homeowner’s insurance, and upkeep expenses or risk the loan being called due and payable.
3. Cash-out refinancing
Cash-out refinancing allows you to refinance an existing home loan — hopefully at a lower interest rate — and also refinance the home for a dollar value higher than the remaining principal. This loan allows you to keep the money above the principal as liquid cash that can be used to pay down other expenses or fund your retirement. Like your original forward mortgage, if you miss a monthly payment due to unanticipated expenses from a health care emergency or other life disruption, your loan could be called due and payable, and the lender could move to foreclose on your property. Retirees may also face challenges qualifying for a cash-out refinance because of underwriting standards that require a certain amount of monthly income.
Choosing the right plan for you
While all three plans have their appealing points, new consumer safeguards for reverse mortgages are fueling their popularity among seniors who want the benefit of no monthly payment, a loan that can’t be canceled or reset, and the option of a line of credit that increases over time.
If you’re interested in pursuing a reverse mortgage, the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association can help. Their Roadmap can guide you through the features and responsibilities of reverse mortgages and the process for obtaining one which includes meeting with a reverse mortgage counselor and a financial assessment.

Taking a Bite Out of Life Insurance Premiums

(BPT) - We are bombarded with messages about the importance of making healthy choices every single day. While the latest exercise and nutrition trends can be complex and often contradictory, we all know the basics: eat right, stay active. Still, it can be difficult to make healthy choices in the moment. The stakes of our choices are high. Poor eating habits, overconsumption of unhealthy calories and lack of physical activity can directly contribute to chronic diseases, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. And yet, knowing the basics for staying healthy and the possible consequences of unhealthy habits, why do we choose cupcakes over carrots or skip the gym in favor of "just one more" Netflix episode on the couch?
It turns out there is science behind this phenomenon. Behavioral economics and evidence tell us that when making decisions, people are biased toward the present rather than the future. Immediate rewards and benefits often override the potential long-term consequences of our behaviors, such as weight gain or future health problems. The satisfaction of the candy bar today can outweigh the possible effects of an unhealthy diet down the road.
While we can turn to trainers, nutrition experts and medical professionals for valuable advice and resources on how to be healthy, new motivation is coming from an unlikely source: a financial services company. John Hancock has teamed up with Vitality, the leader in global wellness programs, to offer life insurance that rewards policyholders for their healthy habits. Think of the program as a safe driver discount for a life insurance policy - the more healthy activities policyholders complete, the more savings and rewards they earn.
Plus, to offset those naturally human unhealthy impulses, John Hancock adds an extra nudge to help consumers make healthy choices today. By taking small steps with long-term health benefits - such as heading to the gym or getting an annual check-up - policyholders can earn immediate rewards in the form of Starbucks or REI gift cards, hotel and travel discounts, plus up to 15 percent off annual premiums. They'll even get a free Fitbit to help track their progress. And in its second year, the program has added a HealthyFood component. This new feature means policyholders can earn up to $600/year in savings on grocery bills by purchasing healthy foods.
This added benefit is especially helpful given that healthy foods often cost more than less healthy choices. One 2013 BMJ Open study found that on average, healthier diets cost about $1.50 more per day, per person, than less nutritious diets, a number that can add up and lead well-intentioned people to settle for unhealthy purchases at the grocery store.
In addition to rewards and savings, the program helps cut through the cluttered health and nutrition landscape. Individuals can find more than 15,000 qualifying foods at more than 16,000 participating grocery store locations. And with access to nutritional information and guidance from the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University, as well as smartphone apps, online resources and even a user-friendly shopping list tool, it's easy for policyholders to make healthy choices.
Why would a life insurance company want to promote healthy eating? "There is strong evidence that a nutritious diet is one of the most critical components to living a long and healthy life. By providing a life insurance solution that rewards people for making healthy food choices every day - and make it affordable to do - we believe we can help improve and protect the quality of their lives," says Mike Doughty, president and general manager of John Hancock Insurance.

Red Thread Cafe Hosts Jerzy Jung
The Red Thread Cafe is excited to announce the upcoming performance of Jerzy Jung with Jordyn Kenzie opening, on Saturday, April 16th. The Red Thread Cafe, a fair-trade coffee, art and music venue of Hopesprings, is located in Bangor, PA. The Red Thread consistently offers the Slate Belt, the Poconos and the Lehigh Valley an exciting mix of new music from unique artists from the area and across the country. April will be no exception! Jerzy and Jordyn are phenominal artists who tell amazing stories through song. Jerzy Jung (yes, that's her real name) makes music because she feels it's the most powerful and purest form of expression she knows. She is continually evolving, both as an artist and as an individual, and her music is a reflection of that evolution – new experiences, new relationships and new understandings. She calls Sara Bareilles, Coldplay and Annie Lennox as some of her influences. Her songs reflect the thoughts and beliefs of her audiences and finds inspiration from everything life has to offer. Jerzy has recently been working on a pilot television show called “The Song”. It's a music competition show but the artists get to perform their own music!!
Because Jerzy really loves getting to know her audience, there will be a special “meet and greet” coffee hour. You'll have the unique opportunity to sit down with Jerzy, ask questions, find out what makes her tick over a cup of coffee. Don't be surprised if she has a few questions for you too!
Opening up for Jerzy will be the Slate Belt's own Jordyn Kenzie! Jordyn is a local teen who has been performing in the Lehigh Valley for some time now. As she tells it “music is my life.” She appeared at Open Mic night in March and she is returning as the opening performer on April 16th.
The performance will be at Baby Harry Coffee Company, 34 Broadway, Bangor, PA. Coffee “meet and greet” is at 5:30. The show starts at 7 p.m. Suggested donation is $5 for individuals and $10 for an entire family. Coffee, tea, soda and scrumptious snacks will be available.
Your taxes are filed, the weather is improving and evenings are warmer. Kick back with some friends, share conversations and laughs, sip some delicious coffee and envelope yourself in the wonderful sounds of live music from Jerzy Jung and Jordyn Kenzie.

28th Annual Farm Animal Frolic
Stroudsburg (PA) – Quiet Valley’s 28th annual Farm Animal Frolic is May 21 & 22 and May 28 & 29, Saturdays 10 am to 4 pm, Sundays noon to 4 pm. To folks in the 21st century springtime means warmer weather, flowers blooming and the return of robins. It’s time to pack away snow shovels and think about getting the lawn furniture out. In the early 1800s it meant fresh greens became available, a real treat after a bland winter diet. The kitchen garden was planted with such things as peas, onions, beets and carrots. Chickens started laying eggs again and it was also when the animals on the homestead had their babies. At Farm Animal Frolic we celebrate the renewal of life that comes with the season of Spring.
Meet the baby farm animals up close and personal. See kid goats and lambs frolicking about. If you’ve ever wonder where the saying “two shakes of a lamb’s tail” came from you can see the reason for yourself. Chicks will be peeping away and some will be hatching in incubators so visitors can watch them crack out of their shells. There will be a new calf for the children to meet and guests of all ages will laugh at the ducklings as they play in the water.
All the mommies of the babies will be on hand as well, keeping a close watch on their young, so folks will get to meet them, too, and learn something about their role on the farm. Our Clydesdale draft horses, Gunther and Wilhelm, will take you on a wagon ride to the ice harvest pond and back. In the lower part of the barn make sure to say “Howdy” to Janie, our mule, who doesn’t get to pull the wagon and sometimes feels left out. That’s where you will also find the piglets, always a lively bunch.
In addition to the farm animals there are plenty of other fun activities. Twice a day there is a special children's show where youngsters can enjoy puppet shows or storytelling. There are opportunities to play old fashion games, jump in the hay or try the Fish Pond. Our focus area for 2016 is the “Sheep Shed” where folks can learn some sheep lore, card wool, watch spinning or felting, try weaving and make a craft using wool. There will be a “Sheep to Shawl” demonstration Saturday May21.
On Saturday, May 21, throughout most of the day, you can watch as Margaret Quinn shears the wool off of Quiet Valley’s sheep. Kathy Uhler, from the Pocono Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, will present a show on local wildlife on Saturday, May 28 at 11:30 and 1:30. The school marm will offer presentations in the One Room Schoolhouse on both Sundays. The outdoor brick bake oven will be in operation during all four days of the event making homemade bread, hot pretzels and cookies.
There is nothing more lovable than baby animals, and adults, as well as children will get a kick out of a visit to Farm Animal Frolic. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about farms, farm animals and to spend a day in the beautiful outdoors.
Admission is $8.00 for Adults and $5.00 for ages 3 thru 12. Children under 3 years of age are free. Pony Rides and Horse-drawn Wagon Rides are an additional charge and are weather permitting. Refreshments are available. No Smoking or Pets. Frolic is held Rain or Shine. The schedule and prices are subject to change.
All funds raised go to support the mission of the non-profit farm museum.

Ask The Doc........
Technology can be wonderful!

by Dr. Gary Williams, DMD

I know sometimes new technologies can be frustrating and leave us questioning whether “progress” is worth the hassle. But, that is not the case with intra-oral digital scanners. We have been using our digital scanner at Family Dental Care now for 3 months, and the results are amazing.
Sure, it’s pretty “cool” technology, and it has been totally comfortable for patients. No gagging going on! And the turn around time is much shorter. All of these are pluses, but here is the real benefit… the accuracy and fit of what we are making.
I can comfortably predict a great fit of your new crowns, splints, Invisalign aligners, retainers, and anything else we scan for. That makes it worthwhile.
It’s one thing to restore your mouth to health, but I want, you want, and you deserve to rest assured that what is placed in your mouth is the best possible fit known to dentistry.
Digital scanning is here to stay at Family Dental Care. Feel free to ask us about our scanner. Garywilliamsdmd.com.
