collection basket. But my husband drove off as I was thinking about the woman pushing the envelope into my hand and closing my fingers over it. “I love watching you love your children”, she whispered close to my face. And for the second time: “I need you to pray for my son”.

I opened my hand once I got into the car. I don’t know why I had it in my head that it was a bunch of mass cards. I had been to a funeral days before and had felt mass cards then, so maybe that’s what I had been thinking. The envelope was white and crumpled.

There was writing scribbled on the outside that I didn’t take the time to read. “I need you to pray for my son,” the woman had said. I lifted up the edge of the envelope. I saw the first hundred. I folded it over.

I saw the second. Then a fifty, and a bunch of twenties. My husband sat next to me in the driver’s seat.

He hadn’t started the car yet and glanced over.

He stared at the wad of cash. My hands were not trembling. “Whoa,” he said. “Where’d you get that?”

I was shaking my head and counting it on my lap.

I told him it was from some woman at church.

He asked who it was, if I knew her. I didn’t, I told him, I had never seen her before. My kids were in the backseat not listening. There was some scuffling, some rustling of coats, and seatbelts clicking into place. I sat still. “Wow. What did she say?” he asked.

“She told me she needed me to pray for her son.”

I stuffed the money back inside and looked closer at the writing on the envelope before throwing it into my purse. He didn’t ask any more questions — just started up the car and we left.

Later that week I had dinner with my sister. When I told her the story, she asked what the woman had looked like. “Was she smiling?” she wanted to know.

I said no. I told her that her face was wet with tears but that she hadn’t been crying while talking to me. “She had tear stains through her make-up”, I remembered, touching my hands to my face and patting my cheeks.

I called the priest. He never once suggested I donate the money back to the church. “It’s a gift, Dennise”, he told me later. “Don’t let it become a burden.”

So I’m trying to not let it be. But I do feel I have a responsibility to do something good with it. Not just good, but the exact right thing. For now, I have it shoved in a bottom drawer among a bunch of old running socks. Everyday I take it out and look at it.

I read the scribbled writing on the envelope and run my fingers over it. Somedays I lay the money all out on my bed. Then I get on my knees and count it. I try to pray for her son like she asked, but I never do a very good job. It always feels half-hearted and superficial, like I’m trying too much and not paying attention enough. This story is my prayer for her son.

It is the best I can do for now.

Pay it forward I knew everyone would tell me.

And, I did think about getting out of the car and walking back into church to toss it all into the

Nobody, who has not been in the interior of a family, can say what the difficulties of any individual of that family may be.

All Business Branding and Trademark – Part 2

by Christy Schmidt, Esq.

Every business owner should understand branding and trademark.

Although, small business owners are brilliant at their businesses – they are not knowledgeable about marketing or law. In this second part of a three-part series, we examine the importance of trademark. (See the February 08742 issue for Part 1, “Branding.”)

Once you have defined your “brand,” you will need to design a Trademark – a logo or other symbol designating your product or service as different from others.

(typed, just the letters or words with no design element) or stylized (with a design element; a logo).

Trademark does not require registration as creating and using one is a common-law property right. Any mark may be notated with “TM” or “SM” to indicate intention to retain property rights over same. To register a trademark with the United States (or internationally) as provided through the US Constitution requires the seller or service provider to be involved in interstate commerce.

(Although each state has a trademark registration process, the filing of same is of questionable benefit as another will not be able to enter the “state” but could obtain a federal trademark that could trump a state trademark registration. The analysis of such a situation is a legal analysis – and an economic one.) A holder of a trade or service mark may file an initial application with the federal government stating that he or she “intends” to enter interstate commerce. This registration, if approved, will permit the registrant time (a year plus extensions, typically) to actually file an “in use” application and receive federal trademark registration. At only that time can a mark be labeled with “®.”

Trademark protection is obtained as soon as a distinctive mark is affixed to a product (trademark) or service (service mark). Unlike copyright and patent, trademark is NOT specifically mentioned in the United States Constitution – however, Congress did codify the common law in the Lanham Act to clearly protect trade and service mark owners. The association of a symbol, unique name, or phrase with a product or service is meant to provide consumers with an indication of quality or origin. A mark must be distinctive and associated with the product or service and can be fanciful (“Nike”), arbitrary (“Apple” for computers), or suggestive (“Orange Crush” for the soda). Colors and symbols can also be part of the trademark – but they must be distinctive and not related to the function. Generic terms are not protected if related to the item with which they are typically associated and are, therefore, not fanciful (“soap”). Trademarks can be a standard character mark

Use, however provides the owner superior rights to registration.

If two owners of an identical mark are competing – one registered not using the mark and one unregistered using the mark, the one using it will win in an infringement action. This is the essence of trademark – the use in the market to allow consumers’ association. In fact, the intention of trademark is to protect the consumer – technically not to protect the producer or servicer. Reviewing the history of trademark – which was once “guild” marks – gives an idea of what the purpose is. When a consumer goes to buy a Ford, they should not end up with a Nissan marked “Ford.”

This is a simple concept. If a client is seeking to create a trade or service mark, they should be doing so to differentiate the product or service in the market – with the intention to cause customers to associate the mark with that particular product or service.

Trade/Service marks must be constantly used, consistently used, and affixed to the product or service. Trade/Service marks not so used are considered abandoned – whether registered or not.

Trademarks and Service marks must be policed. Whether registered or unregistered, the owner must constantly watch the market to ensure related competitors and even those in unrelated industries are not wrongfully using (infringing) on the mark.

Policing must be based on consumer confusion: That a buyer will likely confuse two companies with similar marks – typically in similar or related industries.

In summary, design a unique mark to label your product as distinct – decide if you need to register it Federally – but always use it on everything you sell or every service you deliver.

Next month, we will discuss protecting your mark – and finding the right mark before you make a foolish investment!

New Jersey DWI Laws May Be Revamped

A Law Firm Where Every Client Matters!

by Christopher J. Grenda, Esq.

On February 5, 2015, the New Jersey Senate gave final legislative approval for a bill that would provide convicted drunk drivers an option of having an ignition interlock device installed in their motor vehicle in lieu of a substantial loss of license.

The law as it stands now, requires installation of an interlock device for repeat offenders and first-time offenders who report a bloodalcohol concentration (BAC) of .15% or higher. The new law would expand the interlock’s availability to expand to all convicted drunk drivers.

Under the new law, Bill A1368, a first-time DWI offender with a BAC between .08% and .10% would have an interlock device installed for three months. A first-time DWI offender with a BAC between .10% and .15% would have an interlock device installed as least seven months and up to one year. In all cases, a first-time offender would only face a loss of driving privileges for ten days.

Instead of a mandatory two year loss of driving privileges, a second DWI offender will face a loss of driving privileges for two to four years. And, a person convicted of a third or subsequent DWI would lose their driving privileges for ten to twenty years, instead of the statutorily mandated ten years currently in place. Moreover, a judge will have the discretion to order an interlock device to be installed for an additional period following the suspension.

If a person is convicted, or pleads guilty to, a DWI where there is not alcohol involved, but rather narcotics, will not be facing installation of an interlock device, however, the current penalties for loss of license will remain unchanged.

The average cost for renting an interlock device ranges from $75 to $100 per month, if a convicted drunk driver cannot afford to rent an interlock device or simply does not want to pay for one, that person will face a loss of driving privileges consistent with the current law.

Mr. Grenda holds a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in History/ Pre-Law from Limestone College in Gaffney, South Carolina and a Juris Doctorate (JD) from Thomas M. Cooley Law in Lansing, Michigan.

Shore Recipes It’s cold and grey and I’m home on a snow day. March certainly reared its ugly head.

By the time March rolls around, I’m sick of the crockpot and I’m longing for tastes of summer.

My family loves scones, and I love that they can be enjoyed for breakfast or afternoon coffee.

Adding the right flavors, lime and coconut in this case, and I’m suddenly enjoying a taste of warmer days.

These are a cinch to make, I usually mix the dough in the food processor, but a pastry cutter works too.

Make sure the butter is really cold for the best texture. Enjoy!

Coconut Lime Scones Preheat oven to 425 degrees

3 cups of all-purpose flour 1/3 cup sugar ½ teaspoon baking soda

1 stick + 5 tablespoons of butter — cut into pieces 2 teaspoons baking powder 2 cups shredded coconut

In a separate bowl, beat together: 1 egg ½ cup canned coconut milk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Juice of 1 lime finely grated zest of 1 lime

Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour wet ingredients in the well and mix with a fork until moist throughout.

Parental Guidance Sensory Processing

By Maureen Whelan

Smell... Taste... See... Hear... Touch... Move...

In the first moments of life, a healthy baby experiences and processes each of these sensations. Together, sensory integration occurs giving the child valuable information about his environment and the brain begins to formulate plans to respond to it.

It’s a beautiful thing when it all goes according to the plan. But sometimes events occur that prevent the brain from receiving, registering or responding to sensory input. Sensory processing goes awry. The theories about why this happens are varied and great in number. The important aspect to remember is help is available.

According to the Sensory Processing Disorder Foundation, sensory processing disorders (SPD) affect between 1in 20 to 1 in 6 children. These numbers vary because of unclear diagnostic tests, and some medical professionals failing to recognize it. Commonly associated with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and Autism Spectrum Disorders, SPD can also occur on its own. It can affect all the sensory systems, or just one. This is different than sensory preferences.

For instance, I may prefer to wear sneakers on a daily basis but putting on my work shoes will not affect my daily function of other tasks. Sensory Processing Disorders interfere. The brain’s under or over responsiveness interrupts participation in daily activities. So what do you do if you suspect your child’s affected by this?

You can create sensory rich experiences for your child easily at home. Avoid too much screen time of any kind to insure your child is exploring and learning with all his senses. Go old school. Use sandboxes, playdough, fabric textures, dried beans, and shaving cream to create tactile play experiences. Touch receptors are responsible for providing information on temperature, pressure gradation, pain, discrimination, vibration, and more. Play music. Experiment with different genres, just keep the volume low; young ears are much more sensitive to sound.

Allow your child to move. Hit the park swings, and rocking horses. This helps develop positional and postural awareness. Floor play is beneficial for children of all ages. If this cold weather lingers get out the yoga ball. Hold your child while bouncing on it.

Enlist him in household chores.

Yes, I know they can be completed in half the time without his help, but this type of heavy work is great input. Push those laundry baskets around the house. Or get out the beach shovels and have him help shovel the front porch.

Cook with him. Let him watch, smell, touch, and taste what he’s making. Even instant pudding works for any non-cooks! In all these experiences take into account he age of your child.

Keep it simple to make it successful. The more your child understands his environment, the more likely he is to be part of it.

The calmer he will be while in it, and more creative as he experiments with it. Enjoy!

If you believe your child has a serious sensory processing issue seek advice from your pediatrician or a neurodevelopmental pediatrician.

They may recommend additional evaluations by Occupational or Physical therapists trained in treating this disorder. You can seek an Early Intervention Evaluation if your child is under the age of 3 and you suspect sensory processing is impacting other areas of development.

Staying Home …With Your Best Friend

by Christy Schmidt

This column, “Staying Home,” is about appreciating and being thankful for all that is around us: Our health, our blessings, our family, our community, our friends. We can all think of a list of friends: People with whom we connect, who share our values, who enjoy similar activities – and who are there to share our lives in times of joy and support us in times of sorrow. We call them “buddies,” “pals,” “BFFs”…

Take a moment and picture your friends.

Think of times when you enjoyed their company – and remember times you have shared. Perhaps it is someone with whom you can go to the ballgame – or your quilting circle – or antique shopping. Perhaps it is someone who will roam the aisles at Barnes & Nobel with you – and then share a latte and the books you have each found.

Maybe it’s the friend who is willing to be adventurous and challenge you: To skydive or white-water raft or rock climb.

Many of us will think of the friendships that have stood the test of time – and those that have not. That gets one thinking about what makes a true “friend.” What are the qualities and

March 2015

traits in a person who you consider your “friend?” I suggest you take the time to make a list. What values and dreams do you share? How do you treat each other and what are the expectations of a friendship?

We will all think of those who have been there for us – and who share in our lives.

Typical qualities: Honest, caring, loyal, steadfast….A “friend” brings you up when you are down, encourages you, holds you accountable – brings you soup when you are ill. Friends support your business or career goals. They listen to you or help you make decisions.

They are honest and accurate.

A “friend” compliments you – and reminds you how wonderful you are.

Friends celebrate our accomplishments – and are kind to us when we fail. Most importantly, a true “friend” is supportive when you need him or her.

However, in my experience as a coach, most of us forget to be our OWN best friend. Look at the list of qualities of who you consider a “friend:” Do you treat YOURSELF that way when you fail?

Or when you succeed? Often, our internal dialogue is downright cruel – and speaks to us in ways we would

12

never speak to a “friend.” In fact, we often speak to ourselves in ways only an enemy would. Check in with that little voice: Are you your OWN best friend?

When you fail, does he or she say: “Well, you are a total screw up.

You are just too stupid…ugly…mean.

You will never succeed.” Or, is he or she your FRIEND: “It’s okay. You will get it next time. You are wonderful – you just made a mistake.” Does he or she negate you when you succeed: “Well, you were just lucky. Normally, you are just a jerk…a loser.” Or does he or she clap for you: “You DID it! I am so proud of you!”

The easiest way to learn to be your own best friend is to check your little voice: Are you speaking to yourself the way YOU would speak to a friend?

The way you would expect a friend to speak to you?

While we wait for Mother Nature to bring us daffodils and crocuses…and leave the snow and ice to next winter…take some time to listen to your own voice and be your own best friend.

Beer Corner For the Love of Beer

by Matt Connelly

Winter Warmth Here are five of my favorite beers to consume between December and March:

As a college student who didn’t know any better my choice of beer centered around two simple questions – “Is it cold?” and “Is it cheap?” To be honest, if the circumstances warranted, I’d even forgo the former to achieve the latter. In Northeast Pennsylvania in the late 1990’s, cold and cheap meant, at best, Yuengling or, at worst, one of the many watered-down American lagers available in “packs” of 30. A cold and cheap lager tasted equally average in winter, spring, summer or fall.

Goose Island Bourbon County Stout An Imperial Stout aged in bourbon barrels.

Goose Island Bourbon County Barleywine An English-style Barleywine aged in the bourbon barrels after they are used to age the Bourbon County Stout (see above).

Founders Breakfast Stout Oatmeal Stout brewed with chocolate and two types of coffee.

These days, though, “seasonal” beer is the fastest growing segment of the craft beer industry, making up nearly 24% of production in 2014. Just as a chef rotates her menu to reflect the flavors of the local and seasonal climate, craft brewers use ingredients and brew beer styles intended for consumption during a particular time of year.

Ballast Point Victory at Sea Imperial Porter brewed with whole vanilla beans and coffee.

Founders Backwoods Bastard Scotch Ale/Wee Heavy aged in bourbon barrels.

Within the diversity of new and revived beer styles being produced seasonally are the segment of beers ideal for winter consumption. Generally speaking, winter beers are dark and malty in character, high in ABV, and warming to the body. A seasonal market once dominated by “Christmas” (i.e. spiced) ales is now rich (pun intended) with Porters, Stouts and Barleywines. Lucky for us, the exceptional bars and liquor stores of Point Pleasant carry most of the best beers that fit this category.

As you can see, three of the five choices above have been “aged in bourbon barrels.” This process gives the beer subtleties of oak, charcoal, tobacco, vanilla and, of course, bourbon, creating that “warming” character I alluded to earlier. All five beers are ranked on Beer Advocate’s Top 250 Beers in the world and, most importantly, all are available in Point Pleasant at the time of print.

Aren’t we lucky to live in 08742…
