The Equifax Breach And You: Be Proactive data has been exposed, and put you on a list to get more information. You can also sign up for a year’s worth of free credit monitoring. 2. Watch your statements. Start checking your credit card statements, and pay special attention to cards you don’t use often. The initial reports from the breach were that hackers may have been making charges on underused cards. 3. Check your credit reports. You can look for suspicious items on your reports, such as new accounts being opened in your name, at all three credit report agencies: Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. Free annual reports are available at www.annualcreditreport. com. You may want to stagger your use of the reports to one from each agency every four months. More frequent checks

arlier this year, hackers were able to breach the security of Equifax, one of the three national credit reporting agencies. More than 143 million Americans – nearly half the entire country – were exposed to the attack, and may have had their personal information stolen (including names and birthdates, and Social Security and driver’s license numbers). Equifax is still determining exactly whose data has been exposed. While you wait to find out, it’s worth taking a few proactive steps to make sure your info isn’t misused by hackers. 1. Start checking. Visit Equifax’s website at www.equifaxsecurity2017.com and enter your last name and last six digits of your Social Security number. The site will tell you whether it’s likely or not your

will cost you a small fee. 4. Freeze your credit. If you suspect you may become a victim of identity theft, you can place a credit freeze on your profile at each of the three credit reporting agencies. This stops new accounts from being opened in your name. Note that you’ll have to unfreeze your accounts if you want to apply for new loans or make your credit accessible for things such as job applications. 5. File your taxes early. One of the most common ways identity thieves use your information is to try to claim a tax refund with your data. This was the most common scam in 2016, according to the Better Business Bureau. If you file your tax return as early as possible, you shut down this opportunity for any would-be thieves.

Keeping Your Dog Safe During The Holidays

ith the holidays here, we are all in the mood for some festivities. We plan parties and cook for celebrations, but what do our pups do? They are still the same clever, curious rascal they ever were. Something that the holiday season does bring are some puppy hazards. Everyone wants to enjoy the holidays without a single hiccup, so make sure that you make your home holiday safe for dogs. Seasonal decorations. The holidays bring about a variety of color and light that make the atmosphere look quite magnificent. But beware of nosy pups with mischief on the mind. Power cords can be very dangerous for a pup that likes to

chew. Make sure they are hidden out of reach so no one gets hurt. Besides lighting, we often decorate our homes with pretty plants such as mistletoe, poinsettia and holly. Unfortunately, all these plants are actually very toxic — especially for dogs. Consider going with a synthetic likeness that looks just as pretty. (And you can use it again next year — save some money!) Besides the house decorations, presents often get decorated, too. Wrapping paper is fun for both man and dog, but we don’t usually eat it. A pup may find it quite tasty, but will likely just end up with a belly-ache. Hot dog. Candles make the house look and smell nice, but there is a bit of a hazard to this.

A happy tail or a nosy snout can knock a candle over and burn your pup or catch something on fire. If you have candles, keep them up high and never leave the home without making sure they’re out. Another concern is the fireplace. Those flickering flames can intrigue a curious

pup, so make sure you use a fireplace protector or screen to keep any noses from being singed. Time for eats. The festivities and food are going to be almost every dog’s weakness. Honestly, who can resist a tasty piece of what’s cooking? Items on the table top left unattended can make a likely target for an eager pup, so keep things out of reach — and no paws on the table. Unfortunately, dogs aren’t always the culprit. Sometimes they’re just the victim of some sneaky hands that tossed them a spoonful off their plate. Make sure that everyone knows not to feed the pup, and if you continued on page 11

Keeping Your Dog Safe... continued from page 10

don’t want to take any chances, put your pup somewhere where they won’t get tempted. Don’t forget to give them their own snacks and toys to enjoy. The table top isn’t the only place a sneaky snout might wander. After all is cooked and eaten, there’s likely to be a few leftovers. And where do some leftovers end up? After scraping plates clean, we often end up with some scraps in the garbage can. So make sure to bag it and toss it before anyone gets any ideas. Now, table scraps might not sound too concerning for some folks, but keep in mind that there are several dinner items that can make a pup extremely sick. Raisins and grapes are notorious for upsetting a pup’s belly and often make it to a countertop fruit ornamentation basket. Onions add flavor to a meal, but they aren’t any better for a pup. And chocolate is one of the worst, but possibly the most popular for the season. Make sure to keep any and all of these foods out of your pup’s reach, and inform visitors not to feed them these

specific things. Along that topic comes the “merry” part of the holidays. We should all eat, drink and be merry, but pups shouldn’t be doing any drinking (even if they aren’t driving). Beer and other alcoholic beverages are dangerous to pups’ bodies. They don’t experience it the way we do, and organs such as their liver and kidneys can be damaged very easily by alcohol. Holidays are supposed to be fun, and you can make them as fun as you want. Just be sure that you keep your pup safe and out of harm’s way so you can both enjoy the season festivities.

Did You Know?

etirement can seem like it will never come for young professionals. But time can be a sieve, and retirement age can arrive in the blink of an eye. Young adults who have not planned accordingly for retirement can find themselves in financial straits at a point in their lives when they want to kick back and enjoy themselves. Financial experts from Money, CNN and The Motley Fool advise that financially solvent people should begin saving aggressively for their retirements early on. Ideally people should start saving in their 20s when they first leave school and begin their careers. The sooner one saves, the more time money has to grow. Vanguard says that the person who saves $4,500 per year over a career spanning 45 years can reach a goal of having more than $1 million in savings by the time he or she retires. Compounding interest and investment matches from employers can further secure professionals’ financial futures.

he holidays are filled with temptations and opportunities to over-indulge, and if you’re managing your health and weight, the season can feel anything but merry. Depriving yourself of your favorite holiday treats isn’t only unpleasant, it’s also unnecessary. Many experts recommend that instead, you focus on building a healthier lifestyle through a well-balanced, longterm eating plan. For example, Atkins offers a balanced approach with foods containing fiber-rich and nutrient-dense carbohydrates, as well as good fats and proteins, while focusing on reduced levels of refined carbohydrates and added sugars. When preparing your holiday menu, look for recipes that contain adequate protein, healthy fats and high-fiber carbohydrates, and you’ll be able to enjoy the flavors of the season without guilt. Learn more about the benefits of a balanced, low-carb approach to eating at Atkins.com.

In small skillet over medium heat, cook pork loin, fatty-side down, 4-5 minutes to brown top and render some fat. Coat 7-by-11-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Place pork loin in dish. In small bowl, combine mustard, garlic and rosemary; stir well. Spoon mixture over pork. Transfer to oven and bake 45 minutes-1 hour, until loin is cooked through but still slightly

Vietnam Memorial – The Wall That Heals

By Henry M. Holden he Vietnam Memorial (The Wall), in Washington, D.C., stands as a symbol of America’s honor and recognition of the men and women who served and sacrificed their lives in the Vietnam War. Three million Americans served during the war and inscribed on the 10-foot high black granite walls are the names of more than 58,200 men and women who gave their lives or remain missing; more than the Korean, War, Iraq War and Afghanistan War combined. The Memorial was dedicated on Nov. 13, 1982, 35 years ago, and attracts more than 5.6 million visitors each year. On The Wall, there are 1,487 names of New Jersey men and one N.J. woman, Capt. Eleanor Grace Alexander, of Westwood. But, the passing years are making it harder to remember their names. They came from almost every county and from towns such as Budd Lake, Morristown, Caldwell, Wayne, Short Hills and Long Valley. The war touched thousands of N.J. fam-

As Halloween Creeps Away, Chill Sets In With NJ Brothers’ Scary Christmas Film

By Stefanie Sears hristmas is getting a chiller treatment with “Killer Christmas,” an upcoming independent feature film written, directed, and produced by Shaker Productions, a new filmmaking company co-founded by Englewood Cliffs brothers PeterPaul and Tony Shaker. The pair acts in the movie as well. PeterPaul Shaker- a former lawyer who obtained some screenwriting experience in Los Angeles and has been writing since 2007 while living in New York, portrays Rudolph. Tony Shaker, who quit his software developer job to focus solely on the film, plays one of the main characters, Robbie. The film also stars Malcolm Xavier, Freya Lund, Matt Maretz, Natalie Pavelek and Kourtney Kelly. And yes, it is a – ahem – “killer.” The film, which took nine days to shoot, follows a mischievous bunch of former college chums and two new roommates when they visit a Christmas tree lot to find the perfect tree. The lot neighbors a spooky abandoned hotel. When they realize that

they stayed way past the closing hours of the lot, the gang, under the influence of alcohol and drugs, decides to explore the creepiness of said hotel as one of their daring games. Kelly’s character Bella automatically and throughout counts it as a bad idea but reluctantly joins them. After much built up suspension, they discover that they are not alone in the hotel when a crazed man in a Santa Claus mask starts killing them off one by one with a machete. The friends then find themselves on a race for their lives to escape the numerous filthy and graffiti-adorned rooms and hallways of the hotel in order to survive against their masked adversary. The Shakers’ own trip to a Christmas tree farm run by Benedictine monks on Thanksgiving weekend 2016 inspired the “Killer Santa” antagonist. Finding the idea of a hidden, masked murderous monk a good unforeseen villain and inspired by the random clown sightings of 2016, they eventually looked into Christmas clown masks and found the Santa clown mask online. This led to the rest of the charac-

ing Christmas carols sung by children, together create the horrifying atmosphere of “Killer Christmas.” However, the Adler Hotel, the film’s main setting, contributed its own unsettling aura without much manipulation on the crew’s part. According to the brothers, finding such location was the most difficult aspect of the filmmaking process. The Adler Hotel of Sharon Springs, New York, was in business from the 1920s to the early 2000s when it went bankrupt and eventually fell into disrepair. Throughout recent years the vacant

building has fallen victim to vandalism and the results of such can now be seen in the movie. “Killer Christmas” follows the growing popular trend of Christmas horror hybrid films. Others in this category include “Krampus” (2015); “Black Christmas” (2006); and of course the much tamer children 90s classic, “The Nightmare Before Christmas” (1993). “That was very purposeful because we love Halloween and there hasn’t really been an epic Christmas one that’s been done,” says PeterPaul Shaker. “We real-

ly loved the concept of this Killer Santa type person. We thought that Christmas horror films are underrepresented. There needs to be more of them. It’s a good, fun season. When you think of horror you’re thinking Halloween, you’re thinking something a little darker. With Christmas you think of fun, family friendly. It’s a nice little twist; something unexpected. It just hasn’t been done enough.” “Killer Christmas” will be available on Cable VOD, Amazon, iTunes, Google Play, X-Box, Microsoft, and Sony PlayStation on Wed., Nov. 22.

Remodel For Fire Safety

By Scott McGillivray t’s surprising that, although millions of homes are remodeled in America each year, few homeowners realize the importance of remodeling with fire safety in mind. While smoke alarms and fire extinguishers are top of mind, do you know how you can improve passive fire protection in your home? Passive fire safety installations do not alert you to, or react to, the presence of fire in your home. This type of fire precaution is part of the core of the building and will help to control the fire by limiting its

spread. One very effective form of passive fire protection is the installation of insulation. When adding or upgrading insulation, look for products made from naturally fire-resistant, inorganic materials. A favorite among builders, contractors and homeowners is a stone wool insulation called Roxul Safe ‘n’ Sound, which offers fire resistance up to 2,150° F. Its melting point is higher than the temperature of a typical house fire, which means it will stay in place longer to provide passive fire protection when every second counts.

Effective compartmentalization through the use of fire-resistant materials can help avoid the spread of fire to other areas of the home, and more importantly, protect vital escape routes. Consider installing a fire-resistant insulation in walls, floors and ceilings to maximize protection and escape time.

help heal our wounds.” Vietnam Memorial Wall designer Maya Lin, was a 21-year-old Yale student when her proposal for the black stone monument won the largest design competition in American history. In fact, she beat her art teacher’s submission. Lin was born in Athens, Ohio, several years after her parents fled China due to its Communist takeover in 1949. Although she designed an apolitical monument, the politics of the Vietnam War could not be avoided. Some veteran’s groups decried the lack of patriotic or heroic symbols often seen on war memorials. But the admirers of the Wall far outnumber the critics. “I was passing Washington, and took a detour to visit the wall,” said one Marine

veteran from Randolph who did not want to give his name. “The reverence shown by the visitors so moved me. It was as if I was visiting a holy place. While some people were taking pictures, or making rubbings, they all showed a quiet respect.” For those of us who have visited the wall it is a memorial one will never forget. For many it unlocks memories, and begins the healing process.

Vietnam Memorial... continued from page 21

The Wall often brings closure to those who knew a name on the wall, and to some survivors, the thought of how blessed they are. “The number of names was and remains incomprehensible,” says Army veteran Rich Reck of Randolph. “I felt and still feel a deep sense of gratitude for their and their families’ sacrifices. As a fellow veteran, I realize it was by the grace of God that my name isn’t on that Wall.” Jan Scruggs, a Purple Heart Vietnam veteran, created the vision of the memorial. “It would help veterans heal,” he said. “Its mere existence would be societal recognition that their sacrifices were honorable rather than dishonorable. Veterans needed this, and so did the nation. Our country needed something symbolic to
