Sporting Clay fundraiser May 20BY HEATHER FIORE

The Montgomery Sun

For the first year, the Mont-gomery Township PBA will bepartnering with The HudsonFarm Club to host a specialSporting Clay fundraiser onMonday, May 20, which will bene-fit the newly established non-profit organization, the Mont-gomery Township PBA Charita-ble Fund.

The event, which is being heldon the 3,800-acre hunting pre-serve, will feature a 100 Sporting

Clay Shoot.Sporting clay is a form of pi-

geon shooting, where partici-pants are given a variety of sta-tions to traverse to shoot clay tar-gets.

Each station has a differentsetup and theme.

Its golf with a shotgun, saidCory Wingerter, organizer of theevent. The course has 20 sta-tions, which will take betweenthree and three-and-a-half hours

to get through.Each station mimics a shoot-

ing scenario that you would findin wild, from the overhead pass-ing of ducks, to rabbits runningacross the field, and quails flyingstraight up in the air, Wingertersaid.

Its very challenging and veryhumbling, he said.

Each participant will receive acontinental breakfast, shotgunshells, a goodie bag and a seat atthe pig roast luncheon immedi-ately following the competition.

In addition to the competition

and meals, the after-shoot festivi-ties will include beverages, liveand silent auctions, cigars on be-half of Little Taste of Cuba inPrinceton, and trophies for thewinners provided by The TigersTale.

The Hudson Farm Club willprovide cartridges, ear and eyeprotection, and instruction andguidance tailored to each partici-pants experience level.

A special clinic for novice

shooters will be held in the after-noon.

In addition, teams will have ac-cess to golf carts to navigate thecourse with ease and take in evenmore of the spectacular scenery,such as the notable waterfalls onthe property.

The Hudson Farm Club pro-vides one of the most extensiveshooting layouts in the country,Wingerter said.

Although most courses allowpeople to bring whatever type ofgun theyd like, only break-openshotguns are allowed at this

course. Rentals will be availablefor $25 for participants who dontown a gun or who have limitedshooting experience.

Its going to be a learningprocess for me, but Im sure itsgoing to be a good time, saidBrian Hofacker, president of theMontgomery Township PBA. Alot of guys always ask to goshooting with me, so this givespeople in town an opportunity tohang out and go shooting withthe officers.

The Sporting Clay Fundraiseris open to all ages and skill levels.Participation in the full day eventis $200 per person, or $800 for a

foursome.The PBA is also seeking spon-

sors. Anyone interested can pay$200 for a sign with informationon it, which will be placed at oneof the 20 stations.

Multiple levels of sponsorshipare available.

If this goes over well,we might do it again [next year]in South Jersey, Wingertersaid.

The event will be held rain orshine on Monday, May 20. Regis-tration will begin at 8 a.m., withbreakfast at 9 a.m. and shooting

afterward. The event will rununtil about 3 p.m.

This is kicking off all of ourfundraising efforts for the Mont-gomery Township PBA Charita-ble Fund, Hofacker said. Theproceeds will go toward support-ing our scholarships and a lot ofthe community programming wedo.

The Hudson Farm Club is lo-cated at 270 Stanhope SpartaRoad in Andover. To register forthe event, to become a sponsor orto make a donation to the Mont-gomery Township PBA, contactHofacker at (609) 577-0433 [email protected].

Farmers market open everySaturday through October

another wonderful aspect of ourfarmers' market; you can speak di-rectly with the farmer who grewthe produce. Or in the case ofSimply Grazin Organic Farm orWoods Edge Alpaca Farm, youcan speak with the family mem-ber who raised the animal.

There is a love for the land andthe cycle of life. Our farmers lovewhat they do and it shows in theproducts.

The MFOS was founded in 2002by a group of citizens to identifyfarms in the township that werethreatened by large-scale develop-ment. They conducted researchand held meetings with localfarmers, which ultimately led tothe creation of the farmers mar-ket.

We held two farmers' forumsand invited our town's farmersand those with farmland assess-ment to meet and discuss chal-

lenges, such as crop yields, taxes,competition, and work together topreserve our rural character andfamily farms, Penney said.

Since then, the market has be-come a popular Saturday outing,which is gratifying to the organi-zation, Penney added.

Opening day this year will bebetter than ever, said marketmanager Lorette Pruden. Wehave two wonderful new vendorswith fruits and vegetables andmore organic produce. I thinkwell have our best year yet.

The MFOS farmers marketwill be open every Saturday from

9 a.m. to 1 p.m. through mid-Octo-ber. For more information aboutMFOS, go to montgomeryfriends.org.

With each passing day, it

seems as though it gets

harder and harder for peo-

ple to smoke cigarettes in public.

Not that thats a bad thing, necessar-

ily. It has been medically proven, after-

all, that cigarettes are addictive and

harmful to the health of both the

smoker and the people who inhale sec-

ond-hand smoke.

But at what point are we taking the

regulation of smoking too far? Or,

rather, is there a too far when regu-

lating smoking?

Much like alcohol and gambling, cig-

arettes are a highly taxed and regulat-

ed, yet completely legal, vice.Unlike alcohol and gambling,

though, the act of smoking itself is

harmful to others, whereas drinking

alcohol and placing a bet are not. So it

makes sense, then, that the govern-

ment is doing everything it can to pro-

tect non-smokers from being negative-

ly affected by smokers.That deserves an obvious bravo.

The move toward healthier public

living began with the outlaw of smok-

ing inside bars and restaurants. No

longer were there smoking and

non-smoking sections; smokers had

to travel outside to enjoy a puff.

These restaurants and bars coun-

tered by building decks, porches andother attached structures where smok-

ers could inhale, and non-smokers

could frequent at their own risk.

Next came the outlawing of smoking

in cities and publicly-owned property

such as parks and recreational areas.

Now, these health improvements

have begun to trickle down to the local

level.

Municipalities throughout New Jer-

sey are beginning to propose, and pass,

smoking bans on public property, at

parks and recreational facilities.

We applaud any move that improves

the health of the majority, but we cau-

tion municipalities to be careful not to

take it too far.

Cigarettes are not a controlled sub-

stance, so rules that govern how they

can be regulated are limited.

Earlier this year, Oregon tried to

make cigarettes a controlled substance

in their state, but that idea didnt passas of yet.

Were all for improved public health

and for not punishing non-smokers.

But we dont want to do it at the ex-

pense of the rights and freedoms of

smokers.

No smoking, no problem?Is our government taking smoking bans too far?

Your thoughts

Do smokers have a right to puff outsidein public places? Are we taking smokingbans too far, or are we not taking themfar enough? Let your voice be heard.

agreed to have their homes desig-nated as local historic sites.

The preservation of historichomes is a benefit for the entirecommunity.

The budget for this program ismodest. The grants are small andare limited to the costs of materi-als only (no labor costs).

Depending on the availabilityof funds, the grants may coveronly a part of the materialcosts.

The application deadline this

year is June 5 and all work mustbe completed by Dec. 1, 2013. In-quiries and requests for applica-tions can be directed to [email protected] orby contacting the MontgomeryTownship Planning Departmentat (908) 359-8211.

May is National Elder LawMonth. Elder law is an area oflegal practice that serves the sen-

ior population. The bulk ofRothamel Brattons elder lawwork is focused on helping fami-lies pay for long-term care. Quali-fying for Medicaid is incrediblyimportant to millions of families.However, just as important aremany other areas of elder lawsuch as financial planning, estateplanning and elder abuse preven-tion.

Although there are manyfacets to elder law and estate plan-ning, lets just consider three ofthe basics that are often on peo-ples minds.

1.) Do I need a power of attor-ney? The bottom line to the ques-tion is, absolutely and unequivo-cally, yes.

Each and every adult needs apower of attorney to authorize atrusted adult to act on his or herbehalf to handle financial, day-to-

day business and medical deci-sions.

The two main types of powers

of attorney are the generaldurable power of attorney andthe medical power of attorney.

2.) How will I pay for long-termcare if an illness strikes? Its notsomething you look forward tothinking about; however, consid-er that the cost of one year ofnursing home care, in a privateroom, hovers around $110,000(perhaps $220,000 if both spousesrequire care) in the South Jerseyarea.

Our firm helps thousands ofclients figure out exactly how topay for their care and continue toprovide for their family, whetherthrough the use of private funds,long-term care insurance orthrough Medicaid.

3.) Will my heirs pay taxeswhen I die? It depends on a num-ber of factors, including whereyou reside, the value of your en-

tire estate and who receives yourassets. The recent federal lawchanges do not make any changes

to the NJ Estate and Inheritancetaxes, and it is just as importantnow as it ever was to plan for NewJerseys paltry estate tax exemp-tion of $675,000 as well as the NewJersey Inheritance tax.

These taxes can range any-where from 4.5 percent to 16 per-cent.

As with all estate planning, thesooner you consult with an attor-ney and map out a plan, the moremoney youll be able to protect,and the more choices you willhave. But, its never too late tostart.

Protect the ones you love. Re-quest a free copy of our ElderLaw Checklist [email protected] for your free copy.
