That About Our Town mourns our is about two hundred square feet of black top. Hardly very attractive. dear friend and colleague, I cannot conceive of a parking place, even one on the east side of Jules Agins New York, being important enough to provoke anger and violence. who passed away on Could a parking place be worth a human life. Monday, March 2, 2015. A man was killed as the result of a parking space dispute at a com- plex in Ewing. Disputes over parking spaces in communities where He will be greatly missed. parking space is limited happens more often than we think. Parking spaces are not the only source of friction in communities like ours. What one of us deems to be reasonable and acceptable, an- other may find annoying at best and unbearable at worst. For exam- ple in February we had an increase in the number of complaints about dogs. I will spare you the details. Recently, we received complaints about recycling materials being blown around. In almost every in- stance, the owners felt they were acting reasonably. The people con- tacting us had a far different opinion. I don’t view these differences as questions of who is right and who is wrong. Rather, I think we are confronted with potentially irritating conduct which, if left unchecked, can cause escalating reactions. For most of us the move to Sterling Pointe has us living in a much more densely populated environment. That density means that we need to have a heightened sensitivity to how our actions and conduct impact upon our neighbors. It is one of the compromises you have to make living in a community like ours. In the long run, a little con- sideration on the part of each of us will make living at Sterling Pointe more enjoyable for all of us.

The nature of the event: will there be food, will there be music, is a speaker involved. Vendors are contacted for their availability, menus are created and some price negotiating is done, budgets are then worked up, before a flyer announcing the date AAA Express is created. Once all that is done and the event is advertised, I have to count on the community for their support by signing up.

to your family Flag Decorating Program from ours! The Sterling Pointe Men’s Club has graciously volunteered to decorate the community for certain national holidays with American Flags. The flags would be placed around the Clubhouse, Outdoor Pool Area, and at the base of mailboxes throughout the community. However, if a flag is placed on your property, simply remove it and return it to Ellen at the Clubhouse. Thank you. The flags would be in place the day before the holiday and removed immediately the day after. If you prefer not to have a flag placed at your mailbox, please let the Management team know by responding directly to: [email protected] [email protected]

[email protected] 732-968-1615 THE STERLING POINTE PRESS APRIL 2015, PAGE 13 Animal Corner YOU’RE IN LOVE BUT AT WHAT COST? You’ve just been to the local shelter, or at a breeder, and already your heart rate is up as you hold that special Fido or Fluffy in your arms. What a wonderful feeling to love and be loved! But there are monetary costs to pet ownership and it’s best to go in with not only with an open heart but also with an eye on your wallet. Most pet parents can expect to spend a fraction of the following amounts for a healthy pet during its lifetime but pet costs can increase from an illness or injury. Here are some things to think about: $80 average for shelter adoption fees/$1000+ from a breeder; good quality dog or cat food - $20+/bag or case per month; $10 for leash/collar; toys - $5-40; dog grooming - $35/visit; flea/tick/heartworm preventatives - $5-150; medications for health conditions - $100+/month; and vet visits and well care at $100+. Can you control some of these costs? Consider setting up a special sav- ings account to help pay for unexpected costs and carefully investigate a health care medical insurance policy for the life of the pet.

PAIN FREE PETS There is a new, non-invasive pain treatment for pets with chronic illnesses, such as diabetes or arthritis, called holistic laser treatments. According to Holistic Vet, Dr. Jill Elliot, “These lasers have been used for about 40 years in people and are now being used on pets. The laser treatment works by stimulating healthy cells in the damage area to start restoring and repairing the problem. It’s painless, it’s non-invasive and you don’t feel anything. There is no medicine that they have to give the animal, and they usually see results within the first day or two.” Vets recommend 4 to 12 treatments with a cost of about $60 per session.

This novel starts off as a straight forward story of a teenager’s hopeful quest to re- Maxine unite his fighting parents but the novel quickly turns into a multigenerational family saga. Trevor Riddell gets his first look at his ancestral home, built by the spoils of his lumber magnate forefa- thers, the summer of his four- teenth year. Before that he was kept on the other side of the country and told the story of his families rise and fall from the lumber industry by his bitter father. Now he has to spend the summer with his father in this falling down mansion in the woods, trying to convince his father he needs to stay with his mother all the while getting to know his grandfather and his aunt.

Parker at Monroe takes this philosophy a step further. It is a uniquely designed long-term living community that blends an environment similar to assisted living with the best practices of skilled nursing care. “Parker at Monroe benefits from decades of insights, innovation, and forward thinking,” said Roberto Muñiz. “Our new Monroe com- munity is guided by our long lasting Parker’s philosophy of person-di- rected care, which is designed to enhance our residents’ quality of life.” “In developing this long-term living residence, we also strived to become a vital resource to the local community – providing appeal- · serg-tnoL nlelikm urd csinur inerag mudinlc, oemg cro eray ing and affordable new options for long-term care in an area with a vers ices fofor indiv auid s wl it a slh ogatl demes tenf wait ohs, sizeable aging population,” said Clifford Holland. “We are preserving maayy a o hsl aavv co lex pppme naysichlex sdeel open space, using energy efficient technology, and have designed at- tractive home that enhances the surrounding areas,” he added. · eracderetnec-nosreP ht at r tcepes chts ices oohe o tices ehf The ceremony included a reading by Gerald W.
