My gosh the year is flying by! We can tell that summer is coming now that the pool is open and the snowbirds are returning from Florida.

It’s almost the half way mark for 2014.

I , for one , am looking forward to enjoying the warm weather and the many pastimes that we all enjoy. We have gone shopping for flowers and shrubs to replace what the deer have consumed. Now we can relax and watch the birds flit around and we can enjoy the music as they chirp.

Some of the exercise classes have transitioned to the pool. Why not try one for a fun and healthy experience. Details of each are at the clubhouse.

If you are looking for a fun thing to do, we recently went to a video taping of The Chew which appears on ABC from 1:00 to 2:00 each day. It was fascinating realizing how many people are involved in producing such a show. Plus we were able to taste some great dishes. You can usually get tickets from the web sites of the shows you enjoy. Many of the shows are video taped in Manhattan,

Our social activities continue at a great pace. The Kentucky Derby party was a delight as was the Gemini Magic Show, the Trivia nights and the weekly Sunday Brunches.

Last month we published the rules for the swimming pool and, as a convenience, we are reprinting them this month. Enjoy your summer and the time you spend in and around the pool.

During June we can look forward to and celebrate Flag Day, Father’s Day and the Summer Solstice. And then there are the birthdays of loved ones.Submission of articles and

How is a stroke diagnosed?Physicians arrive at the diagnosis of a stroke primarily through: • Neurological exams• Imaging scansThe most common imaging scans of the brain are:CT Scan (computed tomography scan) – a type of low-radiation x-ray that uses a computer to make pictures of the

brain. A CT scan may be repeated in the first days after stroke to see if the stroke has continued to expand. The first CT scan taken during the first hours of an ischemic stroke is usually read as “normal” – meaning “no bleeding was seen in the brain.” In this case, the neurologic exam of the patient at the bedside is more important in deciding on treatment options.

MRI Scan (magnetic resonance imaging scan) – a test that uses magnetic waves to make pictures of the brain. A new (acute) stroke will usually cause typical patterns on an MRI scan that are easily recognized as a stroke.

Angiography – a test that shows arteries in the brain. It may be done through an invasive procedure, when a tiny catheter is placed in a blood vessel in the groin and threaded up into the brain. Repeated injections of dye make the blood vessels in the neck and brain more visible. This is most often used for hemorrhagic strokes, if there is a possibility of an aneurysm (weak blood vessel) that may need treatment.

Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) – shows brain blood vessels by mapping blood flow during a regular MRI scan.

Carotid Ultrasound – shows narrowing of the arteries supplying the brain.You can find descriptions of all of these tests in the next section, “Diagnosing Stroke.”

What should I expect during the first days of a stroke hospitalization?After a stroke has been diagnosed, the first priority is to use emergency treatments if possible. Immediate treatment

may be used to:• Dissolve a clot causing an ischemic stroke or reopen a blocked vessel• Stop the bleeding during a hemorrhagic strokeOnce the patient is more stable, there is a big focus on preventing common complications of stroke, including:• Preventing pneumonia, blood clots in legs, bedsores, and shoulder pain if arm is paralyzed.• Reducing the chance of subsequent strokes (secondary stroke prevention)• Treating other co-existing diseases, such as diabetes• Looking at lifestyle issues that need to change to improve stroke recovery and preventing (smoking, alcohol use,

weight management, exercise, etc.)• Improving functioning in everyday activities through rehabilitation (physical therapy, occupational therapy, and

speech therapy).• Starting to pave the way for recovery (treating pain, addressing depression, getting family involved in care, etc.)Your care may include:Blood Tests, including a complete blood count, blood sugar, cholesterol (lipid) profile, clotting levels, and a check

of other elements in the blood;Electrocardiogram (EKG), to look for heart issues that may have caused the stroke or that may need more study;Cardiac (Telemetry) Monitoring, to analyze heart rhythm and detect any irregular heart beatsElectroencephalogram (EEG) – a test that can detect seizures (convulsions) by measuring brain waves (used only

if a seizure is suspected).

How long will I or (or my loved one) be in the hospital after a stroke, and what comes next?

Our Health and Wellness


This varies greatly, depending on how severe the stroke was. After a minor stroke or TIA, a patient may be discharges within 2-3 days; after a severe stroke, the hospital course may last a week or more.

Depending on your needs, rehabilitation services after your hospital stay may be provided in an acute rehabilitation hospital (most intensive); a subacute rehabilitation facility; or another inpatient facility. If you are able to go home right away, you may receive rehabilitation services at an outpatient rehabilitation department or through home health care services.

Note: Medicare, Medicaid and your private health insurance have requirements to meet criteria for a transfer to acute or subacute rehabilitation facility. Be sure to speak to your Social Worker and Care Manager about your discharge plan.

What are the best medicines toprevent another stroke?Many excellent medications are available to prevent stroke. A few important points:• If your doctor or health care provider prescribes aspirin or a blood thinner to prevent another TIA or stroke, never

stop taking it suddenly without permission.We now know that your risk for a stroke can triple immediately if you stop aspirin or another blood-thinner suddenly

(unless directed by your health care provider). The blood becomes thicker-than-normal when these medicines are suddenly stopped, increasing your stroke risk overnight.

If you are prescribed aspirin after a stroke or TIA, you should consider it a medicine to take “for life.”• If your blood cholesterol is high, cholesterol-lowering drugs may be prescribed. The statin class of cholesterol

medications is very important for stroke prevention, since statins seem to protect against heart attack and stroke.If you have ever had a stroke or TIA, you should aim for a LDL cholesterol level (LDL is “Lousy” or “Lethal” or

“bad” cholesterol) of less than 100 mg/dl, or even lower if your doctor or nurse recommends it.Just like aspirin, statin medications should never be suddenly stopped without permission, as the same dangerous

effect of increased stroke risk can occur.• If you have high blood pressure, work with your doctor or health care provider to bring it under control. A normal

blood pressure is considered to be 120 or less / 80 or less. You should discuss your blood pressure goals and know your goal numbers before you leave the hospital. The single most important thing you can do to lower your stroke risk is to keep your blood pressure under control!

Just like aspirin and statins, blood pressure medications should never be suddenly stopped unless directed by your health care provider. Blood pressure can shoot up to a dangerously high level if you stop taking your medications.

If your blood pressure medicine is causing unpleasant side effects (such as fatigue, dizziness, problems with erections in men, or cough), talk to your doctor or health care provider about the side effects. There are many excellent blood pressure medications to choose from, and everyone can find a blood pressure management plan that they can live with.

• If you have atrial fibrillation, warfarin (Coumadin) is the best way to prevent another stroke caused by a blood clot that travels from the heart to the brain. Many people worry about taking warfarin, since it can cause excessive bleeding. However, warfarin is eight times more likely to prevent a stroke than it is to cause a serious problem with excessive bleeding. The key is to understand.

What lifestyle changes can help me prevent another stroke?These strategies may help reduce the change of TIA’s and stroke:

• Exercise regularly, with your doctor’s approval.• Eat a healthful diet, one that is low in saturated fat

and rich in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.• Maintain a healthy weight.• If you smoke, quit.• Drink alcohol in moderation. Moderate alcohol

intake is no more than 2 drinks per day for men and 1 drink

per day for women.• Control blood pressure and diabetes.• Bring cholesterol levels into the normal range.• Take medications exactly as prescribedDo not use illegal drugs (cocaine) or unprescribed

stimulants (ephedrine, certain herbal or weight-loss products) that raise blood pressure.


Beautiful NatureMay and June are the peak

months for Blackberries and Strawberries! What better way to welcome the warmer weather than to enjoy them with ice cream!

Some of the best memories growing up in North Jersey are of picking blackberries from a wild patch near a neighbor’s yard a patch now long gone.

A bramble and a member of the rose family, blackberries will grow like weeds in the right climate, and in more rural areas, they can sometimes still be seen growing by the side of the road. Although they’re grown in almost every state, the biggest crops come from the Pacific Northwest, Michigan -- and New Jersey. And while the majority of the crop is sold to processors for

jams and jellies, you’ll find fresh blackberries at roadside stands, farm markets and good produce stores during the summer, usually in half-pint boxes. Make sure you don’t miss out. Blackberries are a rich, juicy and sweet treat loaded with flavor as well as ultra-healthy vitamin C and antioxidants.

Local blackberries are available from May until September, with the peak usually in June and July. Berries available during the winter are typically imported from Chile. While we don’t necessarily like to promote different labels you should know about the “best of the best” in terms of the produce that’s available, and when it comes to blackberries, we would be remiss if we didn’t tell you about the “Season’s Finest” brand of blackberries. This Mexican variety of blackberries is only available through the company Driscoll’s, and take our word for it: If you can find these, buy them (or ask the produce manager for them), because they’re great. Their season is short, just five to six weeks, and they’ll only be available through the end of May. They’re also a little pricey compared to other blackberries you’ll see in the store, but once you try them, you’ll be hooked, and you’ll remember them year after year.

Local stores that typically carry them include Whole Foods and ShopRite, but no worries if you can’t find them: All blackberries and strawberries are good at this time of year.

Many foods commonly consumed in the U.S. are valuable sources of antioxidants. Researchers have recently

ranked the 50 best antioxidant sources measured against a uniform amount of food (100 grams, or about 3.5 ounces), and strawberries ranked 27th best among U.S. foods. In addition, when only fruits were considered, strawberries came out 4th among all fruits (behind blackberries, cranberries, and raspberries). However, since many foods (for example, spices and seasonings) are seldom consumed in amounts as large as 3.5 ounces, researchers also looked at common serving sizes for all foods and their total antioxidant capacity. In this evaluation based on common serving sizes, strawberries came out 3rd among all U.S. foods including spices, seasonings, fruits, and vegetables! (In this analysis based on serving size, only blackberries and walnuts scored higher in total antioxidant capacity.) When we hear the word “strawberry,” we might think about a very commonplace fruit. But the antioxidant capacity of strawberries and blackberries is anything but common!

Blackberry Mojito

Mojito (pronounced moe-hee-toe) is Cuba’s most famous cocktail. It is important that the blackberries and mint are gently muddled - never crushed - to release their flavors but not release harsh or bitter tannins into the beverage. A wooden spoon or firm silicone spatula can be used in place of a muddler.

12 Blackberries12 large mint leaves4 teaspoons sugar1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice1 tablespoon fresh lime juice1/2 cup seltzer water 1/4 cup vodka or rum 6 to 8 ice cubes

Muddle blackberries, mint leaves, sugar, lemon juice and lime juice in a tall glass until berries are mostly crushed.

Add seltzer, vodka, and ice.Stir well and serve. You can also substitute strawberries for the blackberries.

Let's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France . Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth, beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?

If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell?

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which, an alarm goes off by going on.

English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.

New Model Park at Sea Breeze

Toll Tidbits

Several months ago when I visited my son's condo, I noticed that he had some vinyl records sitting around. These were not old records picked up at a garage sale, but newly pressed albums from his favorite artist, Taylor Swift. My other son took my collection of 45's and my old turntable when we cleaned out the house prior to moving to Sea Breeze. Vinyl recordings and upgraded turntables were on their holiday wish lists. With all the convenience of downloading digital music, why would anyone want to bother with a process that has absolutely no portability and requires you to flip the media over? Why would anyone, except for audiophiles and a few baby boomers who still have a turntable and a record collection from their youth have any interest in analog technology?

Simply put, sometimes newer is not always better. As it turns out, to get the convenience that downloading digital music over the internet provides, you give up something and

that something is the quality of the recording. Downloaded audio files are typically in MP3 format, a set of standards for compressing and downloading audio files from the internet. The key word here is “compressing” which is necessary in order to have the files download quickly and take up less space on your listening device. When you compress files, you delete chunks of data to make the file smaller, which also makes the files you download inferior to the same recording on a CD or LP. While you probably won't hear the difference if you are listening on your portable music player, it can be noticeable if you play it on a decent audio system with good speakers or headphones.

So why not buy the music on a CD I ask? According to my sons, the music just sounds better and apparently others agree. According to Rolling Stone magazine, sales of vinyl recordings continue to grow. Don't toss your record collection just yet, There could be a budding after market.

We are excited to tell you that we will break ground soon on a new model park! The sales office will be located across the street in a Farmington model. Two more models, the Hammond and the Binghamton will be located right next to the sales office. Come and get a sneak peak of the Binghamton on June 7th when we host a muddy boot tour on Cameron Court. Details coming soon!

Broker or Investment Advisor By: Charles Pettineo

Often, I hear an individual stating my investment advisor recommended that I buy a stock, mutual fund, bond, or annuity. The question is are you getting recommendations from a broker or an investment advisor? Your response might be – I don’t care as long as I make money. That approach is somewhat shortsighted because it overlooks a very important component when you are receiving investment advice. What is the nature of responsibility to you by the individual who is providing the investment advice? There clearly are significant differences.

Broker DefinedThe term “Broker” is defined under the Exchange Act

(Securities and Exchange Act of 1934) as “any person engaged in the business of effecting transactions in securities for the accounts of others.”

Advisor DefinedThe term “Registered Investment Advisor” is defined

as “a person engaged in the act of providing advice, making recommendations, issuing reports, or furnishing analysis on securities either directly or through publications”

If you have a difficult time distinguishing the differences, you are not alone. The biggest significant difference is that a Broker must meet a suitability standard while an Advisor must adhere to a fiduciary standard.

Suitability Standard of a BrokerThis simply states that a Broker needs to believe that

a recommendation meets the interests and financial needs of an individual. If a Broker made a recommendation to a retired person who needed income and suggested that he/she buy an investment grade bond fund, the Broker, in all likelihood, would have met the suitability requirement.

However, is it the best bond or bond fund available to the customer – maybe, yes and maybe, no? The fund could be a proprietary bond fund of the broker dealer where there are higher commissions than alternatives. The broker is also not required to disclose any conflicts of interest.

Fiduciary Standard of an AdvisorInvestment Advisors are required to meet a fiduciary

standard that requires them to act in the best interests of their clients – therefore, establishing a fiduciary responsibility. Many advisors emphasize that they are “fee only” advisors charging a fee for managing your assets and don’t receive a commission for selling a particular product.

Does this necessarily mean that advisors will be more knowledgeable, make you more money, or be more successful in helping you reach your goals? Unfortunately, registration status alone is not a guarantee that your interest as an investor will be better served.

For decades, broker dealers have successfully stopped attempts to have their Brokers registered as Investment Advisors. However, the Dodd-Frank Act signed into law in 2010 directed the S.E.C. (Securities and Exchange Commission) to determine whether Brokers should have a fiduciary standard. The head of the S.E.C. promised a decision by the end of 2014.

Whether you choose an Investment Advisor or a Broker, it is important that you interview the person, ask about background, experience, and investment philosophy to determine whether there is a fit for you. Also, you should check online to see if the individual has any regulatory complaints. This can easily be done through FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority).
