Local Expert Shows NJ Parents How To Get The Most Money For

Their Children’s College Education

New Jersey parents suffering with findingways to pay for their children’s collegeeducation can finally get the solutions to

their college funding problems.Most families who earn $75,000 or more and

own a home assume they are not eligible for finan-cial aid. However, most families with income over$100,000 are actually eligible for some types of“need based” financial aid. They simply need toknow how to get their fair share.

According to Newell, there are several easythings parents can do to substantially increase theamount of money they get from colleges. Forexample, “There are several schools that histori-cally give better financial aid packages than oth-ers,” says Newell. “If families do proper incomeand asset planning before filling out the forms,they can increase eligibility by thousands of dol-lars.”

Newell offers a few simple tips to parents withcollege funding problems. “If a parent has onlyhalf an hour to end their college funding problems,I would suggest the following:

1. Make sure they do not over-value their homeon the financial aid forms

2. Try not to save money in the child’s name asit weighs more heavily than the parent’s savings

3. Don’t be afraid to negotiate with a college fora better financial aid package.

WARNING - Do Not Refinance or Get a Home Equity Loan until You Have Read this Free Report That Reveals the

Biggest Mistakes People Make with TheirFinances and Their Mortgages!

Unless you live under a rock, youhave undoubtedly seen and felt theeffects of what some experts are

calling the worst housing market since TheGreat Depression. Homes are sitting on themarket for months, values are dropping andthe “subprime meltdown” seems to bemaking it more difficult for anyone to get amortgage. People are constantly asking mewhen it will end or when will things getbetter. Friends, family, neighbors andclients alike are becoming victims of ahousing boom that has gone bust.

Having been involved in real estate formost of my adult life, I would like to sharea few things I have learned on how to makethe most of the current housing market.

1. Do Nothing. Sounds silly right? Ifyou are happy in your home, have enoughspace and can afford to pay your mortgageand taxes, sit tight! Although your homehas probably lost some of its value, youwill be fine in the long term. Values will

recover and your home will appreciate overtime. Remember, the housing market iscyclical.

2. Get a mortgage checkup. Similar toseeing your doctor for an annual physical,check with a trusted mortgage advisor. Ifyou have an Adjustable Rate mortgage,even if the rate is low, now may be a goodtime to lock in a fixed rate. Interest ratesare at historic lows and if you plan to be inyour home long term, it could providefinancial stability.

3. It's a great time to buy. If you are afirst time homebuyer or real estate investor,it's a buyers market. Prices are good andrates are low. Contrary to the doom andgloom you see in the news everyday, thereis mortgage money available even if yourcredit is not perfect.

4. Consult a professional. Like so manyhomeowners, if you are having trouble pay-ing your mortgage, seek out assistance.Talk to a local real estate agent about sell-

Five Ways You Can Survive in a BAD Real Estate Marketing the property. If a property is pricedright, it will sell. I heard from one agentthat homes priced below market are receiv-ing multiple bids. In turn, these propertiesare selling faster and for more money.

5. Talk to your lender. If selling is notan option, call your lender to discuss pay-ment arrangements or loan modifications.The worst thing you can do is NOTHING.Your problems will not disappear, they willmultiply. By confronting the problem, youwill at least understand your options and beable to make a proactive decision about

your future.Of course these are just some of the

things you can do to weather the storm.The most important thing is to stayinformed and remember that things willturn around.

By Elsie Walker

The lilt in her voicehints at her origin:Stoke-On-Trent in

England. Yes, the Rev-erend Margaret Otterburn,new rector of Church of theMessiah, has journeyed farin her life, living inEngland, Northern Ireland,New Jersey, Minnesota,and now back in NewJersey. You might also sayshe's traveled far in herjourney from high school

Church of the Messiah Welcomes A New Rector

math teacher to minister.Originally from Stoke-

On-Trent (on the riverTrent), England, Otterburnmoved to Northern Ireland,near Belfast in 1971. Shenoted those were “challeng-ing times” in that country.In 1987, she came to theUnited States and lived inNew Jersey. She was ahigh school math teacher inIrvington.

“One of my biggest pas-sions is working with chil-dren and youth,” Otterburnsaid. Then, she got her call-ing.

“Oh, this goes backabout 14 years [1994],” shebegins as she tells the storyof that turning point in herlife.

She went on a retreat.After spending a long timein prayer, a friend invitedher to go for a walk;Otterburn said that normal-ly she would have loved togo for a stroll. However,something moved her toseek out the retreat leader.Although she hadn'tplanned it, suddenly, shefound herself talking withthe leader about the min-istry. Otterburn would takeanother year to reflect onher calling before pursuinga career in ministry.

While attending DrewUniversity and goingthrough the steps to ordina-tion, Otterburn continued towork as a teacher.

“God has given me a lotof energy,” she shared.

After her ordination in2002, Otterburn served atGrace Church in Newark.There her passion for out-reach meshed with her pas-sion for working withyouth. She worked in anafter-school program forstreet kids.

Otterburn's joy in help-ing others translated into anumber of mission tripexperiences and outreachopportunities when shecame to St. Mark'sCathedral in Minneapolis in2004. One mission group,which included youth andadults, went to a MinnesotaIndian Reservation. There,those on the trip learnedmore about NativeAmerican life while help-

ing out in an economicallydepressed area. Anothergroup traveled to Atlanta,Georgia, helping out thosein need in a number ofways: by working in a soupkitchen, delivering meal-on-wheels, and more.There were habitat forhumanity days and otherexperiences to help thoseless fortunate. The churchopened a “drop-in” centerfor the homeless. Whilehomeless shelters providewarmth and a bed at night,they do not have the staff tobe open during the day.This puts the homeless onthe streets. The drop-incenter provided a placewhere the homeless couldcome in and get warm dur-ing the day.

A few months ago,Otterburn found herselftaking a new position, thatof the rector of the Churchof the Messiah in Chester.

“I love my family. Oneof my joys in coming backto New Jersey is being nearto my three kids,” she said.Otterburn has three chil-dren, three grandchildren,and one grandchild on theway.

In coming to the Churchof the Messiah, Otterburnbrings with her an energyand passion which translateinto a number of newopportunities at the church.These include a monthlyTaize service, new Biblestudies and a sewing andknitting Group. Held thelast Sunday a month at7pm, the Taize service is acandlelit time of quietmediation, reflection,prayer. It is a time to just“let go”. There are week-day Bible Studies, aninquirer's class and asewing and knitting groupwhich meets twice a week.

Also, Otterburn is put-ting together the church'sfirst mission trip, whichwill include youth andadults.

“It is a life-changingexperience,” said Otterburnof such trips.

In addition to her churchwork, Otterburn's interestsinclude knitting, takingwalks with her husband,hiking and gardening.

Chester Fifty Plus Club’s PresidentLois Nichols has moved to NorthCarolina. Because all of her fami-

ly had previously moved there, she finallygave in to the family pressure and madethe move. She now enjoys seeing hergrandchildren much more frequently.

Lois grew up in the Vailsburg section ofNewark. She graduated from ColumbiaHigh School in South Orange. Beforemoving to Chester in 1981, she lived inRoxbury where, for many years, sheserved as the Recreation Director.

During the 1980’s, Lois worked for theBoro of Chester in the Finance Office. Shealso served on the Boro’s RecreationCommittee. She was a member of thecommittee which established the housingcomplex for seniors in Chester. Today it isthe Chester Area Senior Housing’s RobertCole Apartments.

It was in 1991 that Lois joined the FiftyPlus Club. There were about 40 members

at that time.In November 1991, Irv Tredway

became the President of the Club and Loiswas selected as Vice President. In thoseearly years, she and Irv handled all mattersof the club. They planned programs forthe twice monthly meetings and arrangedfor all the bus trips that were sponsored bythe club. Today it is said that the ChesterFifty Plus Club has the best trip schedulefor seniors in all of Morris County.

It was in the late 1990’s that Lois real-ized that the club was too big for just twopersons to manage. There were nearly 100members and the number of bus trips hadalso increased. It became obvious thatclub responsibilities had to be shared bythe membership. A Constitution and By-laws were adopted. Committees wereappointed to assist in running the growingclub. This is when more members begansharing various responsibilities.

Lois is proud of the Fifty Plus Club and

Chester Fifty Plus Club President Nichols Moves to NChow it has progressed. She feels she had abig hand in this progress and rightfully so.The big factor in this progress is not onlythat the club has increased in membershipbut that more people have stepped up tobring in new ideas. There are now 135members and still growing. She stated thatthe club was her main focus for manyyears and she strived to make it an organi-zation where everyone would be proudmembers.

Even though Lois was reluctant to

move away form Chester, she said itcouldn’t have happened at a better time.She moved into a newly built senior centerand she stepped right into a position that istailor made for her. She will be her cen-ter’s Recreation and Travel Director, aposition for which she is very well quali-fied.

Lois, you will be greatly missed. TheClub, your Club, wishes you a smoothtransition from Chester to Cary, NC and ahappy and healthy future.

If you were to pin-point one word todescribe exactly how West MorrisCentral High School varsity baseball

coach Dan Wydner feels about his teamthis spring it would be optimistic.

Rest assured, this isn’t some sort ofblind optimism that is not supported by thelevel of talent that Wydner will put ontothe field this season. Because when youlook at the lineup that the Wolf Pack willbring forth, it’s easy to see the reasons forthe coach’s confidence.

Josh Boyd (centerfield), Kevin Saum(right field), Matt Viggiano (pitcher) andBrandon Neumann (pitcher) are returningseniors for the Wolf Pack. Boyd and Saumare the senior captains.

“They [Boyd and Saum] will show theirleadership by being the two kids who workthe hardest, even when things aren’t goingwell for them,’’ Wydner said. “They willpick up their teammates and be someonethat teammates will look to when theyneed direction.’’

Brent Roehrich (first base/pitcher),Billy Zukowsky (third base), Ryan Granat(catcher) and Nick Jakubauskas (pitcher)return to the roster as juniors with varsityexperience.

“We have a lot of guys returning from ateam that advanced to the Group III sec-tional final last year,’’ Wydner said. “Theyknow what it takes to get there now and

should know what type of work ethic ittakes to get there. We have stronger pitch-er than last year and that always goes along way.’’

With the amount of skilled veterans inthe lineup, it’s no surprise that Wydner hassome lofty goals for his squad this spring.

“We want to be the top public school inour conference and to be under the lights atthe Morris County Tournament,’’ Wydnersaid. “We want to advance further in thestate tournament, which would mean win-ning the sectional title.’’

Three juniors, Kevin Barron (shortstop), Josh Mont (pitcher) and SawyerThieringer (pitcher) are varsity newcomerswho add depth for West Morris this sea-son.

“We have open spots at left field and atsecond base,’’ Wydner said. “Many guysare in the mix and they are all competinghard.’’

The West Morris Central HighSchool boy’s lacrosse program cap-tured the NJSIAA Group II state

championship last year when they edgedRamapo, 8-7, in a memorable meeting. Butdon’t think for a second that the Wolf Packare going to rest on their laurels. WestMorris, under the helm of head coachRobert Goodwin, is looking to get back tothat championship level this spring.

“Ideally, our goal is to repeat the suc-cess that we had last year and to build uponit a little bit with a win or two more,’’Goodwin said.

The Wolf Pack tallied a 13-7 overallmark in 2007 and you’d better believe thatthey have the weapons to match, or evensurpass, that record this spring. CaptainMark Toppel is amongst a veteran defen-sive crew that also includes Matt Bowers,Matt Goodyear and Kevin Jordan.

Evan Guarini is a captain attackmanwho is joined by experienced players suchas Tyler Berntsen and Tyler Hutkowski.Sal Carfaro and Brett Bononno bring varsi-ty experience to the mid-field.

Some athlete’s who got to play at thevarsity level last season and may con-tribute even more this year include AndrewSeals (defense), Matt Domaratsky(defense), Scott Isenberg (defense), Mike

Burton (mid-field), Keith Campion (mid-field) and Dan Wiatroski (goalie).

“The captains and the seniors are allshowing great leadership in the early partof the season, especially senior defenderMatt Bowers,’’ Goodwin said.

The Wolf Pack opened the season onApril 1. Their schedule for the second halfof the month includes road games at SetonHall Prep (April 15) and Watchung Hills(April 17). They return home for a fourgame stretch to face Morris Hills (April19), Summit (April 22), Columbia (April25) and Hanover Park (April 26). Their lastgame of April will take place on the 29thwhen they travel to West Essex.

It’s springtime. The noise of winter hasbecome stale. In spring we find freshair and renewed energy. We can re-

examine where we are and how we’vebeen doing. We’ll need a bunch of spring-time energy as we try to make our way ina very unnerving economic environmentthat affects us all in a variety of ways.

On the national front, it seems that themasters of the universe have gone into cir-cuit overload and have demanded that thegovernment bail them out. Funny howthose radical free-enterprisers constantlyderide government as “the problem,” asRonald Reagan liked to say. I guess gov-ernment is the problem until governmentis “the solution.” In the Bear Sterns fiascoalone, tens of billions of taxpayer dollarswere provided in just hours to bail out theholders of what? Bonds? Derivatives?Who knows? The kinds of financialinstruments we’re talking about didn’teven exist a decade or so ago. And forgood reason. Nobody has a clear under-standing of exactly what these things areexcept that they are held by, and are forthe benefit of, the very wealthiest peoplein the country and in the world. And thesepeople now turn to the American taxpay-ers for a hand out. Well, so much for themarket correcting itself and so much forthe government being “the problem.”

As for New Jersey, the current eco-nomic and housing downturn is hittinghome, if I may put it that way. It appearsthat we are all finally realizing that for fartoo long, our governing bodies, state,county, and municipal, have fallen short inproper budgeting, including failing toraise and put away money for future obli-gations and by borrowing, borrowing,borrowing. Governor Corzine is rufflingmore than a few feathers as he takes a firmstand against business as usual in Trentonand across New Jersey. He has made itclear that New Jersey must fundamentallyre-examine how the state is structured andhow it conducts its business. We need tobring the total costs of government down.To do so, a major issue, one that he fortu-nately has in his sights, is New Jersey’sover abundance of municipalities andschool districts.

For decades, many straight talking aca-demics, civic leaders and, yes, politicians,have argued for a rational and appropriateparing down of both municipalities andschool districts to a reasonable and work-able, and affordable, number. We know

that accomplishing this will take time andeffort. It won’t be easy. That too oftheard cry of “home rule!” will be heardfrom Cape May to High Point. Don’t befooled. “Home rule” has been a cruel jokeperpetrated on the good people of NewJersey. It is time to bring a modern day,rational structure of government to thisstate. But what about small town charm?Small town community? Don’t panic. Wecan still have the small town charm andclose knit community feeling. That’s cer-tainly something I cherish. We just haveto do this correctly. And we can. We needto support Governor Corzine’s efforts torestructure the municipalities and otherparts of government in an intelligent andrational manner.

Here in Washington Township, at 45square miles, we are the largest munici-pality in Morris County, but that has notinsulated us from the effects of NewJersey’s outdated, obsolete, costly struc-ture of municipal government. This year,our town has had to brace itself for a verylean year of greatly reduced services asmunicipal costs have gone up, as theyhabitually do every year. Issues of thepast that were neglected must now beaddressed, particularly pension contribu-tions (this year alone over $300,000). I’lladmit that it was refreshing, even thoughdisconcerting, to hear Mayor Tobin admitthat earlier township committees (allRepublican), when approving the expen-diture of over a million dollars (borrowedmoney) for soccer and other recreationfields, failed to appropriately anticipateand plan for the significant annual costs ofmaintaining those fields. Those costs areraised through, you guessed it, propertytaxes.

Fortunately, the current township com-mittee has been prodded into holdingdown increases to our highest-in-the-nation property tax to a bare minimumeven as state aid will be less this year thanit was last year. But let’s not fool our-selves here, ok? This is, and will contin-ue to be, a struggle year to year. We needto take a look at government (all levels)and make decisions on how best to pro-vide the services we need and want fromgovernment in the most rational, demo-cratic, manageable, responsible, andaffordable manner possible. Or do youprefer to spend more and more each yearfor less and less?

Have you heard what's going on atWest Morris Central HighSchool's school expansion con-

struction project?What if you hired a contractor to put an

addition on your home and it came in twoyears late, without the features you paidfor, and millions of dollars over budget?You would be suing for fraud, right? Thatis exactly what has happened at WestMorris Central High School. In presenta-tions in 2003 and a referendum approvedon March 9, 2004 by the voters, theWMRHS Board of Education toldWashington Township voters they wouldreceive a dramatic and impressive geodes-ic dome gymnasium, a rare asset to aschool in New Jersey and a selling point toour town for potential home buyers.

We were told we would get a dedicatedfreshman wing, where new high schoolstudents would have all of their subjectclasses in a separate setting as they easedinto the high school experience. We weretold the cost for this to WashingtonTownship taxpayers, after a rapid biddingprocess, that the construction would takeas little as 12 months. The referendum wasparticularly attractive to middle schoolparents and the parents of high schoolfreshmen and sophomores, whose childrenwould benefit from these new features injust a few years. It is now more than fouryears later and we are now told, hopefully,that the school additions will be ready intime for the 2008-2009 school year. Thereis no geodesic dome -- apparently it wasreally not feasible from the beginning dueto a lack of qualified contractors (yea-right). The freshman peninsula wing isgone, thrown off the bus as the project spi-raled up in costs. Voters were forced tofork over another $2 million dollars -- fora lot less school than they signed up fororiginally. The architect that helped sellthe school to our town has been fired bythe Board of Education.

Perhaps one of the problems with ourhigh school board of education is that thereis literally no voter scrutiny or contestedraces. Local political historians can notremember a contested race in a decade ormore. Of the five Washington TownshipBOE members on the day when the refer-endum passed way back in 2004, three arealready gone. Only two remain, one BOEmember from 2004, Jeff Emory is up forre-election on April 15.

Rather than focusing on these manyproblems, the BOE has a "subcommittee"

that appears to be focused on politicalcampaigning !!

I wrote a letter to the editor on theabove construction problems and it waspublished in the Observer-Tribune onMarch 20th, 2008. In an effort control thepolitical damage and get reelected JeffEmory, and subcommittee, Meg Berlin andJim Johnston responded with the follow-ing statement ,"Recently a letter to the edi-tor published by the Observer-Tribunecontained numerous erroneous statementsabout the progress of the construction proj-ects under way". In Berlin, Johnston andEmory's letter they failed to correct oreven cite a single statement that I madeabout the WM Central HS constructionproblems.

The freshman wing cited is no longer adedicated and dramatic peninsula wing inthe front of the school, but is now merelya designated area within the main structurebehind the school. At first the committee'sletter denied that the construction projectwas off schedule. And then it went on tomake excuses for why the project wasdelayed. The letter further stated that itwas no one individual's fault-- a clearpolitical defense of Jeff Emory.

Meg Berlin, Jim Johnston and JeffEmory's defense letter is a clear and will-ful violation of the School Ethics conflictof interest law N.J.S.A. 18A:12-24(c) :"No school official shall act in his officialcapacity in any matter where he or a mem-ber of his immediate family has a personalinvolvement. A "subcommittee" has nostanding to communicate to the publicwhatsoever.

Other ethics issues include, boardmembers expressly identifying themselvesas speaking for the board without boardapproval. Everyone is entitled to an opin-ion, but they can't say it is the board's opin-ion when it is merely two other people ona subcommittee with no official standing.The subject of the letter was not on theBOE agenda for the Monday, March 25WMRHS BOE meeting, was not noted incorrespondence or New Business, and wasnot discussed at all.

The bottom line here is we didn't getwhat we voted for, and changing the plansof the original design for the WMCHS hascost us millions more than we expected.The delay has interrupted the studentsnormal learning environment. Meg,Berlin, Jim Johnston and Jeff Emory haveplayed politics when confronted with theirobvious lack of ability to bring this project

in on time and in budget.When the WMRHS BOE tried to keep

the WMCHS open on Good Friday inorder to make the necessary 180 days man-dated by the State of N.J. they failed toproperly communicate this to the parentsand the churches, causing consternationamongst the Christian community. Onlywhen one of the parents pointed out to theboard that keeping the school open onGood Friday would bring the tally of daysthe school was open to 181, did the schoolboard have an out, and closed the schoolon Good Friday. How could such an errorhave been made? How could we trust thecurrent members of the WMRHS BOE,when they can't keep track of the schooldays and create unnecessary problems forthe community?

In this current climate of explodingproperty taxes, state budget deficits andout of control construction costs, do we

want to reward political cronies and schoolboard officials who can't follow the rulesand have mismanaged the HS construc-tion project? NO!

Finally, the voters will have a choice.Washington Township K-8 BOE memberJim LiaBraaten is running against JeffEmory. Mr. LiaBraaten brings an engi-neering degree and perhaps the mostimpressive educational resume of anyBOE candidate in our town's history.While a resident of Minnesota, LiaBraatenran twice for the board of the secondlargest school district in the state, and afterwinning election, was voted chairman byhis peers, five of the six years he served.The district he led had 25 elementaryschools, 5 junior high schools, one middleschool, 3 large high schools and a post sec-ondary technical institute.

It's time for Jeff Emory to go, Vote JimLiaBraaten. Agree? Disagree? What's onyour mind? [email protected]
