Memorial Day History Explains Origins Of National Holiday
hree years after the Civil War ended, on May 5, 1868, the head of an organization of Union veterans — the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) — established Decoration Day as a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the war dead with flowers. Maj. Gen. John A. Logan declared that Decoration Day should be observed on May 30. It is believed that date was chosen because flowers would be in bloom all over the country. The first large observance was held that year at Arlington National Cemetery, across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C. The ceremonies centered around the mourning-draped veranda of the Arlington mansion, once the home of Gen. Robert E. Lee. Various Washington officials, including Gen. and Mrs. Ulysses S. Grant, presided over the ceremonies. After speeches, children from the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Orphan Home and
members of the GAR made their way through the cemetery, strewing flowers on both Union and Confederate graves, reciting prayers and singing hymns. Local Observances Claim To Be First Local springtime tributes to the Civil War dead already had been held in various places. One of the first occurred in Columbus, Miss., April 25, 1866, when a group of women visited a cemetery to decorate the graves of Confederate soldiers who had fallen in battle at Shiloh. Nearby were the graves of Union soldiers, neglected because they were the enemy. Disturbed at the sight of the bare graves, the women placed some of their flowers on those graves, as well. Today, cities in the north and the south claim to be the birthplace of Memorial Day in 1866. Both Macon and Columbus, Ga., claim the title, as well as Richmond, Va. The village of Boalsburg, Pa., claims it began there two years earlier. A stone in
a Carbondale, Ill., cemetery carries the statement that the first Decoration Day ceremony took place there on April 29, 1866. Carbondale was the wartime home of Gen. Logan. Approximately 25 places have been named in connection with the origin of Memorial Day, many of them in the South where most of the war dead were buried. Official Birthplace Declared In 1966, congress and President Lyndon Johnson
declared Waterloo, N.Y., the “birthplace” of Memorial Day. There, a ceremony on May 5, 1866, honored local veterans who had fought in the Civil War. Businesses closed and residents flew flags at half-staff. Supporters of Waterloo’s claim say earlier observances in other places were informal, not community-wide or onetime events. By the end of the 19th century, Memorial Day ceremonies were being held continued on page 2

Memorial Day History...
continued from front page on May 30 throughout the nation. State legislatures passed proclamations designating the day, and the Army and Navy adopted regulations for proper observance at their facilities. It was not until after World War I, however, that the day was expanded to honor those who have died in all American wars. In 1971, Memorial Day was declared a national holiday by an act of Congress, though it is still often called Decoration Day. It was then also placed on the last Monday in May, as were some other federal holidays. Some States Have Confederate Observances Many Southern states also have their own days for honoring the Confederate dead. Mississippi cele-
brates Confederate Memorial Day on the last Monday of April, Alabama on the fourth Monday of April, and Georgia on April 26. North and South Carolina observe it on May 10, Louisiana on June 3 and Tennessee calls that date Confederate Decoration Day. Texas celebrates Confederate Heroes Day January 19 and Virginia calls the last Monday in May Confederate Memorial Day. Gen. Logan’s order for his posts to decorate graves in 1868 “with the choicest flowers of springtime” urged: “We should guard their graves with sacred vigilance. ... Let pleasant paths invite the coming and going of reverent visitors and fond mourners. Let no neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the present or to the com-

ing generations that we have forgotten as a people the cost of a free and undivided republic.” The crowd attending the first Memorial Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery was approximately the same size as those that attend today’s observance, about 5,000 people. Then, as now, small American flags were placed on each grave — a tradition followed at many national cemeteries today. In recent years, the custom has grown in many families to decorate the graves of all departed loved ones. The origins of special services to honor those who die in war can be found in antiquity. The Athenian leader Pericles offered a tribute to the fallen heroes of the Peloponnesian War
more than 24 centuries ago that could be applied today to the 1.1 million Americans who have died in the nation’s wars: “Not only are they commemorated by columns and inscriptions, but there dwells also an unwritten memorial of them, graven not on stone but in the hearts of men.” To ensure the sacrifices of America’s fallen heroes are never forgotten, in December 2000, the U.S. Congress passed and the
president signed into law “The National Moment of Remembrance Act,” P.L. 106-579, creating the White House Commission on the National Moment of Remembrance. The commission’s charter is to “encourage the people of the United States to give something back to their country, which provides them so much freedom and opportunity” by encouraging and coordinating commemorations in the United States of Memorial
Day and the National Moment of Remembrance. The National Moment of Remembrance encourages all Americans to pause wherever they are at 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day for a minute of silence to remember and honor those who have died in service to the nation. As Moment of Remembrance founder Carmella LaSpada states: “It’s a way we can all help put the memorial back in Memorial Day.”

Teaching Kids To Swim
S
wimming is a popular activity once temperatures heat up. Millions of people flock to beaches to dip their toes in the water, and scores more spend afternoons exploring the depths of backyard pools. Upon being introduced to the water, younger children may be somewhat apprehensive, as swimming in pools or oceans can be intimidating to youngsters. Parents should exercise extreme caution when teaching kids to swim, as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that more than one in five fatal drowning victims are children under the age of 14. Although swimming can be dangerous, experts in pediatric and adolescent medicine affirm that participation in formal swimming lessons can reduce the risk of drowning considerably. Children whose parents swim may be eager to join
the water early on. Parents should make sure their children grow accustomed to playing in the water. Many kids start to like the water around the time they become toddlers, when bathing introduces them to splashing and bobbing toys. Use these opportunities to take your child into the water, so he or she acclimates to feeling the water on his or her body and face. Kids can sit with adults on pool steps or retrieve toys from within reach. An adult always should be nearby. Wait before submerging mom and dad in the pool. The following are some tips for parents as they start to develop a plan to teach their kids to swim. Wait until the child is developmentally ready. The American Association of Pediatrics recommends that parents wait until after a child’s fourth birthday to
teach them how to swim. This is when children have developed enough to understand commands and have the motor skills required for swimming. At this point, parents can register children for swimming lessons with trained instructors. Introduce playing in

kids. The American Red Cross says to wait until a child is around age three before submerging him or her under the water. Young kids can swallow a lot of water, which can be dangerous. Sputtering water also may turn a child off to swimming completely. Begin in calm water. The open ocean can be daunting, even to adults. So it might be better to begin swimming lessons in a calm body of water, such as a lake or pool. Invest in formal swimming lessons. Parental
perceptions and anxieties may interfere with parents’ abilities to properly teach their children how to swim. Therefore, hire third-party professional instructors to teach kids to swim. The Red Cross can put you in touch with certified swimming instructors who also are knowledgeable in first aid. As children become more confident in the water, they can practice swimming strokes and submerging themselves for underwater swimming.

Go the Distance for Autism, GTD4Autism, is now the largest charity bike event in northern NJ, according to Mary Jane Bray, director of Development at The Alpine Learning Group who is also in charge of marketing and press for GTD4Autism. The event set to be held this June will mark the eighth year for this fundraiser which first began at the Garden State Plaza. The event has since grown from its beginning, explains Bray, and “we

needed to find a venue that could accommodate.” Bergen Community College campus in Paramus will be hosting the event. So far, this event has raised more than $5 million for both children and adults with autism in northern NJ. The funds raised from this event is dispersed between The Alpine Learning Group, The EPIC School, REED Academy, the Institute for Educational Achievement and Garden Academy. All of these are schools for learners with autism. Bray explains, “GTD4Autism is a unique event as it bands five programs together with one goal— raise money for children and adults with autism in NJ.”
The event is set to be held on Sun., June 4 with starting times varied depending on the length of route chosen by riders. All riders will begin their cycle at Bergen Community College and follow one of four routes which “accommodate every lever of rider; three mile Family Ride, 10 miles, 25 miles and a 62.5 mile,” states Bray. The day will begin early for the 62.5 mile riders at 7 a.m. and the day will conclude with all riders finished around 2 p.m. Rest stops for riders are provided along the route along with signage marking the route and alerting motorists to be cautious. Roadways and intersections are not planned to be
closed for the event. All interested cyclists can register for the event online by June 1. The fee for signing up for the event is as follows; adults 18 and older $50, youth 11 to 17 $35, child 10 and under $15. There is also a Family Bundle option for two adults and two youth for $125. Riders of all levels are welcomed but riders under 11 years of age must ride with a parent or guardian. All riders are then expected to fundraise for their ride, goals vary by age, minimum $250 for adults
and $100 for youth riders. “The proceeds benefit the children and adults enrolled in one of the five programs hosting the event,” states Bray and “we are confident that everyone who attends GTD4Autism will have a wonderful experience.” GTD4Autism needs volunteers as well as riders and any person interested in registering to volunteer can also visit the website for more information and to sign up. This year GTD4Autism is excited to include an expanded Family Fun Fes-

umans are not the only animals that may get a bit pudgy around the middle and tip the scale in the wrong direction. Man’s best friend can also pack on some extra pounds, necessitating a workout plan to get back into shape. According to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, fifty-three percent of adult dogs in the United States are classified as overweight or obese by their veterinarians. Yet, pet owners are sometimes unaware that their prized pooches are overweight. Overweight dogs and

weight. But a pet’s weight is not the lone indicator of how healthy the animal is, and the ideal weight can vary from dog to dog. A body condition score is helpful in determining a pet’s ideal body weight. Some indications a dog may not be at a healthy weight include: *a belly that hangs below the rib cage area *a belly that moves when the dog moves, unless the dog is pregnant or has just given birth *inability of the owner or vet to feel the dog’s ribs in the rib cage *a waddle of skin on the
neck of the dog, where excess skin isn’t indicative of the breed *no visual indication of the dog’s waist *inability of the owner or vet to feel the bones near the base of the tail *a less active lifestyle, including avoiding exercise and play *excessive panting Keeping a dog in shape is one of the best things an owner can do for its’ pet.

continued from page 8 essary pounds? It’s time to start a canine fitness routine and follow some other guidelines. Talk to the pet’s veterinarian. Obesity could be the result of eating too much or inactivity, but it also can be a sign of a serious condition. If a routine exam and blood work come up normal, then a plan can be started for helping Fido shed the weight. Consider a new food. There are many different types of foods on the market, including low-calorie options. Some foods contain extra fiber to help the dog feel fuller without having eaten as much. Also,
look for foods with lean protein sources without grains and other fillers. Break up the feeding schedule. Instead of one large meal a day, feed the dog two or three smaller portions of food, which will help keep the dog’s metabolism going all day long. Become joint joggers. Jogging with a dog can become an enjoyable pastime that enables the owner and pet to get exercise and stay in shape. Take up swimming. Many dogs are natural lovers of water, and swimming is an effective, low-impact exercise. Teach the dog tricks. Physical tricks, like fetch-
ing a ball or rolling over, can keep dogs active. Go for long walks. Take the dog with you wherever you go. The more he or she is up and moving, the less chance there is to sleep and be lazy. Dr. Matthew Krupnick is the owner of the Pequannock Animal Hospital. He grew up in Kinnelon and is happy to be home – with his wife, three cats, and two dogs – to provide quality and compassionate care for pets in the community.

Disposing Of Dangerous Prescription Medications Just Got Easier
By Ann Marie Barron ow, it has become even easier for New Jersey residents to safely and anonymously dispose of dangerous prescription medications, thanks to a new interactive website and 24-hour dropoff locations. Gov. Chris Christie recently announced the launching of a new interactive component to ReachNJ, the state’s drug addiction one-stop website, that helps residents to easily locate the nearest collection sites for Project Medicine Drop. “Unused or expired prescription medications are a public safety issue, leading to accidental poisoning, overdose or abuse,’’ said the governor’s proclamation. “The majority of teen-
agers who abuse prescription drugs get them from family and friends – and the home medicine cabinet.’’ Project Medicine Drop is the 24-hour-a-day, sevendays-a-week prescription drug collection program run by the state Department of Law and Public Safety, Division of Consumer Affairs. Project Medicine Drop boxes are installed indoors, affixed to the floor or wall in a secure area within police department headquarters, within view of law enforcement officers. Residents can drop off unwanted prescriptions for free and anonymously at more than 212 stationary drop boxes and 148 mobile drop boxes around the state in police stations, sheriff’s offices and military instal-
lations. Residents can visit www.reachnj.gov/medicine-disposal to access an interactive map, which easily helps identify the closest drug disposal location. Project Medicine Drop secured drop boxes are located at the headquarters of local police departments. Consumers from anywhere in New Jersey can visit the boxes seven days a week, to drop off unneeded and expired medications - and keep them away from those at risk of abusing them. The drop boxes accept solid pharmaceuticals such as pills, capsules, patches, inhalers and pet medications. They cannot accept syringes or liquids. For the hours of availability and other information, contact the police departments or call the
New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs at (800) 242-5846. A complete list of all locations in the state is available at the state Consumer Affairs website, http://www.njconsumeraffairs.gov/meddrop/Pages/ Locations.aspx. Drop off locations in

County Residents Turn In Hundreds Of Medications In National Initiative
ome came with overflowing bags; others with one prescription bottle. No matter the quantity, Morris County residents recently turned in 724 pounds of unused and unwanted medications during Prescription Drug TakeBack Day, a nationwide initiative to safely dispose of unneeded medication. A total of 372 pounds was turned in at three locations run by the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office under the direction of Prosecutor Fredric M. Knapp in Morris Township, Morris Plains and Randolph. Some 166 pounds of drugs were disposed at the Morris Plains location, 148 pounds in Randolph and 58 in Morris Township. Drugs turned in at other county
locations run by municipal police departments brought the overall Morris County total to 724 pounds. National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day is a creation of the Drug Enforcement Administration of the U.S. Justice Department. It offers the public a convenient and safe way to dispose of unneeded drugs and to raise awareness of the opioid epidemic. The program enables individuals to turn in expired prescriptions and over-thecounter medications into secure drop boxes. The method is a safe, convenient and responsible way to dispose of drugs. The collected medication gets incinerated by the DEA. Another take-back day will be scheduled in the
fall. The initiative not only gave people a chance to clean out their medicine cabinets, it got unneeded drugs out of circulation and lessened the risk of addiction. Prosecutor Knapp said, “This program has proven to be an effective method for the appropriate discarding of unused and unwanted medications. Curbing the abuse of medications not only benefits individuals, but benefits society as a whole.” "We appreciate the efforts of the prosecutor and his staff and local police departments to organize this effective program,'' said Morris County Freeholder Tom Mastrangelo, the county governing
Prescription drugs collected in Morris County
board's liaison on law and public safety issues. "Getting these drugs out of circulation means there is less chance of them falling into the wrong hands.'' Knapp and Morris County Prosecutor’s Office Chief of Investigations
John R. Speirs offered thanks to Morris County Sheriff James Gannon, Morris Plains Police Chief Jason A. Kohn, Morris Township Police Chief John McGuinness and Randolph Police Chief David Stokoe for their depart-
ments’ participation in this program. For more information, contact Public Information Officer Fred Snowflack at pressinquiry@co.morris. nj.us or at (973) 829-8159.

More Than A Century Later, Electric Cars Come Full Circle At Thomas Edison National Park
By Jennifer Walkup brand new electric car charging station opened at Thomas Edison National Park in West Orange on April 19. More than a century after inventor Thomas Edison parked his own 1914 Detroit Electric car at his factory on Main Street, a new technological innovation was implemented with the installation of this electric car charging station. This project was made possible by a partnership between the National Park Service, the National Park Foundation, the US Energy Department and BMW. One hundred electric charging stations will be
installed in national parks throughout the country. “The partnership between The National Park Service, National Park Foundation, BMW, and the Department of Energy made this possible,” said Thomas Ross, National Park Service superintendent. “This will allow electric cars to travel to and around national parks.” The partnership aims to get more electric vehicles into national parks, rather than relegating electric vehicles to urban areas where charge stations are more easily accessible. This project fosters electric vehicle travel and will raise awareness about electric vehicle technology
and plug-in electric vehicles for millions of park visitors. This project will reduce air pollution in national parks and gateway communities. “We are interested in supporting both electric cars as well as having a positive impact on the environment,” said Ross. “Having the charging stations in the parks will support that. Some parks are many miles of roadways. At this time, we do not have the infrastructure to support electric vehicles in those places. This will change that.” The electric vehicle charging station in West Orange is located in the laboratory complex’s vis-
itor parking area. The program’s first charging station installation was chosen for the Thomas Ed-
ison National Park because of Edison’s inventive nature and his work with electric cars.
“We were proud to launch the national program here in West Orange,” continued on page 15

said Ross. “We have two level-two charging stations at the laboratory complex on Main Street. There is a great historical connection. Thomas Edison was very interested in electric cars. It really has come full circle.” In the mid-1890s, Edison worked on an electric storage battery for use in electric cars. The park has three of his electric cars in its collection, two Detroit electric vehicles from 1913 and a loco mobile from 1905 which was converted from steam to electric. At Glenmont, Edison’s home, which is also open to visitors, Edison’s own original car charging station resides in the garage. This
charging station was built by Edison in 1904. “We want to offer the charging station to visitors of the park but also to our community in West Orange,” said Ross. “We worked closely with the town and with the West Orange environmental committee as well.” Most stations are two to three miles away in Montclair and near Turtleback Zoo. This new charging station is right in the center of town on Main Street and also near route 280. Courtesy of BMW, the charging station at the Thomas Edison site will operate for free for the first six months. The program will con-
America’s treasured places, connecting everyone from all backgrounds with the country’s incomparable natural landscapes, rich history, vibrant culture, as well as inspiring lifelong relationships with national parks, and creating the next great generation of park visitors and stewards. The NPS is responsible for the stewardship of America’s natural treasures and historic sites. Innovation, entrepreneurship and technology are key parts of its mission and story. Modern transportation produces emissions that affect clear skies and scenic views and make it challenging for the NPS to fulfill its mission to pre-
tinue to add electric car charging stations throughout national parks during the next two years. They will determine where to install the charging stations based on the strength and proximity of local electric car markets, the location of other nearby charging stations, as well as various considerations regarding the landscape of the parks. This partnership supports the National Park Foundation’s Centennial Campaign for America’s National Parks which aims to strengthen and enhance the future of America’s natural, historical and cultural treasures for the next 100 years. The mission aspires to do so by protecting
serve natural, historic, and cultural resources unimpaired for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations. The NPS has more than 20,000 employees that care for America’s 417 national parks. The National Park Foundation is the charity and philanthropic arm of the NPS. This nonprofit foundation aims to protect the more than 84 million acres of national parks through conservation and preservation. The NPS has worked with The US Department of energy on this and other projects in support of the DOE’s Clean cities program by supporting local
actions to reduce energy, emissions and petroleum use in transportation. The benefits of these projects will be far reaching for the nation. Visitors of The Thomas Edison National Historical Park will be able to view the new charging station along with the large variety of other offerings at the park. The site preserves the last and largest of Edison’s laboratories, home of the perfected phonograph, motion pictures and the nickel-iron alkaline storage battery. The museum collection has more than 400,000 artifacts including Edison products, laboratory equipment, and personal belongings of the Edisons.

All proceeds will support the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. It wasn’t too long ago that Fletcher was performing at a small bar across the street from MPAC. He’d pass the theatre, look up at the marquee and wonder if he’d ever play “a place like that.” One year later, it’s a dream come true for singer, guitarist, songwriter, Fletcher, who is now touring all over the United States, and in other countries. Fletcher grew up in Randolph and is now living in Ridgewood, Queens.
While his parents weren’t musicians, they were no strangers to good music. Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne, The Eagles, and Simon & Garfunkel were always played on the home stereo system. But the main reason Fletcher got into music was because of his older brother Steve, who performed in high school bands. Steve gave Fletcher the opportunity to play rhythm guitar in the band. Each year the brothers were in the high school’s Battle of the Bands. “It [performing] was a consistent in my life,” said Fletcher. When Fletcher went off to college at Boston University, he no longer had his brother as his support system. “I had to do it on my own,” he said. And for the first time, he found
his voice. With Steve, he played heavier music like hard rock and punk. Once that got out of his system, he went on the singer/songwriter kick. At college he studied film and television, but when he came back to Randolph, he’d play gigs at local venues doing cover songs. When Fletcher got an internship in New York at a writing room, writing scripts, it wasn’t his true passion – music was. “The internship wasn’t what I expected,” said Fletcher, who realized he had to do something if he didn’t want to do film. That’s when he decided to pursue music seriously. In Philadelphia auditions were being held for “The Voice” – a television show where the strongest vocalists from across the

country compete with one another for a chance to win a recording contract. While Fletcher stood in line with thousands of other hopefuls, he heard everyone around him practicing. He said, “I think I’m okay, but I heard people in front of me singing Etta James better than Etta James.” After waiting five hours, he was chosen for an audition with 10 other people. Each person got to sing one minute of a song. Fletcher sang “Jolene” by Ray LaMontagne. He was asked to sing another song, then got called back for another audition and got the break most musicians can only fantasize about. He became one of the 11th season semi-finalists. Since then Fletcher’s rendition of Cyndi Lau-
per’s “True Colors” hit No. 2 on the iTunes overall chart; and his cover of “Whipping Post” by The Allman Brothers hit No. 1 on the iTunes rock chart. “It feels amazing,” said Fletcher, adding, “If it wasn’t for my family, I couldn’t have done it. I’m very blessed to have them.” Still inspired by the same music he listened to growing up, Fletcher said, “Bob Dylan and Neil Young write such beautiful, meaningful lyrics. They have made a career that says, ‘I never really compromised who I was.’ That’s an admirable trait.” As of now, Fletcher is recording an EP which should be out before the show at MPAC and wants to keep writing. “I want to stay creative and pursue the thing I always loved,” he
said, regarding his musical career. In his free time, Fletcher likes to bowl, play pool, and hang out with his friends. “I have a great group of friends,” he said. For more information on Brendan Fletcher, visit: https://www.brendanfletchermusic.com/.

ivil War Weekend, a unique two-day event sponsored by the Second New Jersey Brigade and the Morris County Park Commission, plan to present the lives of Civil War soldiers more vividly than textbooks on June 10 and June 11 in Morristown. Re-enactors will lead activities throughout Historic Speedwell’s eight-acre site from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visitors will step onto the battlefield and witness musket, artillery, and bayonet drills, daily mail call and marching drills. Soldiers proudly play period instruments as they go into battle. At the soldier’s camp, daily life is recreated with authentic cooking, dress and setup.
A Civil War-era Signal Corps group will accurately demonstrate how important messages were sent between units using colorful flags to send signals. Visitors will witness a demonstration of a recreated Civil War telegraph station. “The telegraph played an essential role throughout the Civil War,’’ said Mark Sutherland, manager of Historic Sites for the Morris County Park Commission. “Traveling telegraph wagons followed the troops into the field and relayed important messages. It has been stated that more than 15,000 miles of military telegraph lines were constructed during the Civil War.’’ “The technological innovation of the telegraph
changed the way wars were fought, and also the way people lived,” Sutherland said. Historic Speedwell is the ‘Birthplace of the Telegraph.’ Tours are available of The Factory Building, a national historic landmark, where Samuel F.B. Morse and Alfred Vail worked to perfect the telegraph and where is was first publicly demonstrated in 1838. Admission to Civil War Weekend is $7 for adults, $6 for seniors, $5 for children age 4 to 16, and free for children under age 4. For more information and directions to Historic Speedwell in Morristown, visit www. morrisparks.net, or call 973285-6550.

How To Determine If Downsizing Is For You
s men and women retire or approach retirement age, many opt to downsize their homes. Such a decision can save older adults substantial amounts of money while also liberating them from the hassle of maintaining large homes they no longer need. Downsizing to smaller homes or apartments is a significant step, one that homeowners should give ample consideration before making their final decisions. The following are a handful of tips to help homeowners determine if downsizing to smaller homes is the right move. • Get a grip on the real estate market. Downsizing is not solely about money, but it’s important that homeowners consider the real estate market before putting their homes up for sale. Speak with a local realtor or your financial advisor about the current state of your real estate market. Downsizing can help homeowners save money on utilities, taxes and mortgage payments, but those savings may be negated if you sell your house in a buyer’s market instead of a seller’s market. If you think
the current market won’t get you the price you are hoping for, delay your downsize until the market rebounds. • Take inventory of what’s in your house. Empty nesters often find that their homes are still filled with their children’s possessions, even long after those children have entered adulthood and left home. If the storage in your home is dominated by items that belong to your children and not you, then downsizing might be right for you. Tell your children you are thinking of downsizing and invite them over to pick through any items still in your home. Once they have done so and taken what they want, you can host a yard sale, ultimately donating or discarding what you cannot sell. Once all of the items are gone, you may realize that moving into a smaller place is the financially prudent decision. • Examine your own items as well. Your children’s items are likely not the only items taking up space in your home. Take inventory of your own possessions as well, making note of items you can live without and those you want to keep. If the list of items
MARIA FERRITO For The Current Market Value Of Your Home Call Maria at 973-986-6914
you can live without is extensive, then you probably won’t have a problem moving into a smaller home. If you aren’t quite ready to say goodbye to many of your possessions, then you might benefit from staying put for a little while longer. • Consider your retirement lifestyle. If you have already retired or on the verge of retirement and plan to spend lots of time traveling, then downsizing to a smaller home may free up money you can spend on trips. And if you really do see yourself as a silver-haired jetsetter, then you likely won’t miss your current home because you won’t be home frequently enough to enjoy it. If travel is not high on your retirement to-do list but you have a hobby, such as crafting, restoring classic cars or woodworking, that you hope to turn into a second profession, then you might benefit from staying put and converting your existing space into a workshop. Many retirees downsize their homes, but this decision requires careful consideration of a variety of factors.
