As we enter into a new year, many take the opportunity to assess their prog- ress towards ensuring that they are achieving target milestones, allowing for personal, career and family goals. This is also a perfect opportunity to assess your progress towards your retirement income goals. Did you know that if you are currently spending $35,000 per year to maintain your lifestyle, in just 10 years you will need over $47,000 to maintain that SAME lifestyle, and in 20 years you'll need over $63,000?! As these looming figures would suggest, using an average 3% inflation adjustment, much of the conversation around retirement income planning focuses primarily on how much current and future retirees should save. But what is just as important is where they should save, and what financial vehicles will get them safely to their goal. At Strategic Retirement Solutions, LLC our team of experts are here to ensure that you have a clear and concise understanding of your retirement income needs, and to help you break through the clutter to understand what state- of-the-art product solution is the perfect fit for your situation. Let us review your Retirement Plan with you today. We will provide a NO-Cost, No-Obligation review, and give you straightforward and honest recommendations to provide that much needed peace of mind. Call us today at: 908.797.3881, or book an appointment through our website: www.retirestrategically.com. You'll be glad you did!–Mark Chioda, Managing Director/CEO, Strategic Retirement Solutions, LLC. T o p 3 T H i N G S T o d o i N 2 0 1 5 By Anne Thornton, President, MSI Plumbing & Remodeling Everyone has a list of things to do for 2015. After 28 years in business in Clinton Township, we've seen it all when it comes to disasters in your home. Here's our top 3 things to do to help avoid a disaster in 2015. 1. Check your fire and carbon monoxide alarms. Make sure you have enough and that they are working. Several MSI carpenters are volunteer fire fighters in the area and we know how important it is. 2. Know how to turn off the water to your house, condo or business. Teach everyone who lives or works there how to do it. 3. Change your washing machine hoses to FloodChek hoses. We have been using this product for years and have never seen them leak. We have also repaired/remodeled many homes and condos because of leaking washing machine hoses. The washing machine hose is under constant pressure so if it blows, literally thousands of gallons of water could spill into the space, if left unnoticed. http://www.floodchek.com.

He shares his experience with DNA testing and explains how to discover the hidden treasures in your DNA. He also compares genetic testing companies and details how to find your genetic relatives, bio-geographical origins and much more. For over thirty years, Walter Choroszewski has been a leading advocate of New Jersey through the publication of eighteen photographic books, public speaking and popular programs he presents at schools. His 2014 book, Hunterdon in My Heart, celebrates the County's 300th anniversary. His book, New Jersey A Photographic Celebra- tion, was selected for the Official 350th Anniversary 101 Great New Jersey Book List under Art and Poetry. Choroszewski's photographs inspired the iconic state tourism campaign: New Jersey & You: Perfect Together and won him the first New Jersey Photo Journalism Award from Gov. Thomas Kean in 1989. His fine art prints and murals of New Jersey are included in many corporate, hospital and private collections. Walter and his wife Susan live in the village of South Branch in Somerset County.

The Hunterdon Mohawks Lacrosse Club continues to witness significant growth, making us the largest lacrosse program serving sending districts of North Hunterdon High School and one of the largest youth organiza- tions in Hunterdon County! Our youth-players practice and play home games in your own community and play all competitive away games in neighboring towns, as a result of our membership with US Lacrosse, the NJJLL and JGLA. The purpose of the Mohawk program is to introduce, develop and instruct boys and girls in the game of lacrosse so that they develop a life-long love for the sport. Our experienced coaches teach players how to work hard, to become fundamentally sound and to learn to love playing this game. We offer a Junior Mohawk program, designed for boys and girls, Kindergarten through second grade. Our boys and girls program offer teams from third to eighth grade. Among our coaches we have a former Division 1 coach, Level 1 Certified coaches and former collegiate players. When a youth player learns to love the game of lacrosse, and has a desire to play at a higher level, through our partnerships we will introduce them to "select" lacrosse clubs, with higher level competitive opportunities to help them improve their game. Exposing our youth players to other styles of coaching, help them to become a well-rounded player as they prepare to play in high school. The philosophy of the Mohawks, has been incredibly successful, as witnessed by the championships won by both the boys' and girls' teams at North Hunterdon High School. Many of the boys on North's team are a product of our Mohawk program, and nearly all of the girls on the girl's team are Mohawk alums!
