parents of parents can do to substantially increase the amount of
money they get from colleges. For example, “There are
college bound several schools that historically give better financial aid
high school packages than others,” says Newell. “If families do
proper income and asset planning before filling out the
juniors and forms, they can increase eligibility by thousands of dol-
seniors at the lars.”
Newell offers a few simple tips to parents with col-
following lege funding problems. “If a parent has only half an hour
to end their college funding problems, I would suggest

W
hile most young people were laz-
ing around with friends this sum-
mer, without a care in the world,
Taylor McWilliams, Kylene Cochrane, and
Ellysa Lamperti, all students at the Long
Valley Middle School, had a slightly differ-
ent agenda. These three young ladies were
busy completing their “good deed.” That’s
right, these girls were given a challenge by
the Long Valley Junior Women’s Club to
participate in the second annual Good Deed
Challenge Essay Contest. Their mission
was to write an essay about a good deed
they could do if given only $100 dollars.
The essays of these three girls were chosen
out of nine entries from 6th, 7th, and 8th
grade. Winners were announced in June
and students were given three months to
complete their good deeds.
Essays needed to be both well written
and executed with originality. Ideas for
good deeds ranged in topic from donating
money to St. Jude’s Hospital and Operation
Rice Bowl, to sponsoring a child through
Children International. Other essays sug-
well in Africa, and even helping out at ani-
mal shelters and rescue facilities. There
were six judges in all: Mr. Mark Ippolito,
Principal, Mrs. Jacquelyn Micari-
Christiano, Assistant Principal, Mrs. Mary
Reade, 8th grade Language Arts Teacher,
Cindy Konop, Long Valley Junior Women’s
Club President, Traci Noto, Treasurer, and
Dina Carmelengo, club member and event
organizer. In the end, three essays in partic-
ular were selected; one each from grade,
6th, 7th, and 8th, and each were given $100
to make their good deed become a reality.
Taylor McWilliams, 6th grade wrote, “If
I were given $100 I would donate it to a
local food pantry and spend one or two days
there working to help our community.”
Recently she and three friends shopped at
the local SAM’s Club. After explaining her
mission to the manager, SAM’s Club donat-
ed an additional $25 gift card to her shop-
ping spree. Taylor then delivered the food
to the Interfaith Food Pantry in Morristown.

bringing this information to others. Thus

Kiesche. “A lot of people submitted pieces for viewing and
even more people, who probably would never have seen
these works, voted and commented on them. Having my
painting displayed on a billboard is an exciting opportuni-
ty to get in front of a large, local audience.”
Kiesche has a long, diverse background in fine and com-
mercial visual arts that began when he enrolled as a graph-
ic design student at County College of Morris. He went on
to earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts in illustration from The
University of the Arts in Philadelphia. There, he gained
practical design experience outside the classroom that led
to the publication of over 100 of his illustrations in nation-
al and international publications. Before receiving his
degree, he was appointed an Art Director at North
American Publishing Company, one of many such posi-
tions Kiesche flourished in before founding his own design
firm, Paul Kiesche Design, LLC. Kiesche’s work has
earned more than 25 awards from various organizations,
including the NJ/IABC, Art Directors Club of NJ, and
American Graphic Design Awards.
The Palisades Highway Art Gallery is the state’s first-ever
highway art gallery, using prominent billboards to display
the work of local artists throughout New Jersey. The initia-
tive was officially launched on July 13 with the unveiling
of two billboards by renowned New Jersey artists Tim Daly
of Hoboken and Gary Godbee of Westfield. The contest
inspired state artists to submit over 940 original paintings,
drawings, photography and mixed media interpretations of
the state’s beautiful landscapes to the Palisades Drive With
a Smile Web site. Visitors to the site viewed the submis-
sions and voted for their favorite pieces over four weeks
this summer. In the end, Kiesche’s “Autumn in Long
Valley” was one of the public’s top favorites and was
selected to be one of the featured works of art of the
Palisades Highway Art Gallery. All submissions to the
Highway Art Gallery are on display on the Palisades Drive
With a Smile Web site.
The Palisades Highway Art Gallery is the first initiative of
the Palisades Drive With a Smile campaign, with the goal
to remind drivers about the best the Garden State has to
offer and create nicer New Jersey driving moments and
more smiles all around. For more information about the

Cooking Just Got Even Simplier
By Cheryl Conway
C
ooking just got even simpler at
Simply Cook It. Instead of going to
the store to assemble meals or pick-
up pre-ordered meals, customers no longer
have to step foot outside their home. Meals
will now be ordered on line and delivered
right to their front door.
Better yet, there is no extra cost for
assembly or delivery.
“There is no need to leave your house,”
explains Janett Lorenz of Montclair, owner
of Simply Cook It for the past three years.
“You place your order on line. Simply Cook
It can simplify your life.”
Simply Cook It had been based in Budd
Lake for the past five years but the store
recently closed because “the rent got too
crazy,” says Lorenz. Customers would visit
the large kitchen with 10 refrigerated sta-
tions to assemble their meals or pick up
their pre-assembled meals.
Lorenz will now work with her same
staff to assembly meals at a kitchen based in
Essex County and deliver the meals directly
to her customers. Although she already had
some deliveries, the new structure will be
fully functional by the beginning of
October, she says.
Since mid-August, Lorenz has had about
75 deliveries. She plans to extend delivery
to Morris, Sussex, Essex, Bergen, Hudson,
Somerset, Warren, Union and Passaic coun-

“We use all fresh vegetables,” says
Lorenz. “We have a butcher who uses

beef. The quality of our meat is very, very
good.”
Every month, customers can choose
from 14 different meals to purchase, with
each meal portioned to feed six adults.
Meals can be customized to fit their fami-
ly’s needs, by eliminating or adding ingredi-
ents. Portions can be made even smaller to
fit the needs of smaller families or seniors
who live alone.
Six entrees can be purchased for $150; 8
entrees for $195; and 12 entrees for $254.

Thank You For Helping Hunter

J
ohn Kostialik, loving father of five, may look like a
rough tough biker – but he’s got a heart of gold. When
he heard that his friend and long-time hairdresser was
raising money for her 7-year-old niece’s heart transplant, he
jumped into action. By setting up fliers around at some
local businesses and sending emails to family and friends,
he was able to exceed his goal of raising $750 to donate to
Hunter’s Helpers. And by reaching that goal, he accepted
the challenge to shave his head. He entered Jane’s Hair
Salon in Denville with a full head of hair and left with it
clean shaven. In his hand was a 10 inch braid to donate to
Locks for Love as well. He continues to raise money for
Hunter wherever he can – having 7-year-old triplets, a 4-
year-old and 2 grandchildren, he cannot imagine what
Hunter and her family are going through facing a heart
transplant at such a young age. Donations can still be made
and dropped off at Jane’s Hair Salon in Denville – cash or
checks payable to Hunter’s Helpers.
Special thanks to New Jersey Martial Arts Academy in
Landing, The Goddard School in Flanders, Trinity Lutheran
Church in Dover, Custom Wood Furniture in Newton and
Yarn Depot in Newton for your generous donations and for
allowing me to put up fliers. Also, special thanks to my
family, friends and those unknown to me for your generous
donations that allowed me to reach my goal and send over
$750 to Hunter’s Helpers.

Welcome to God’s Thrift Shop
By Elsie Walker
T
he sign hanging outside the building at 98 N. Sussex
Avenue in Dover tells shoppers that “God’s Thrift
Shop” has a new home. Coming in, housewares,
clothing, knickknacks, children’s books and more are dis-
played for sale….and at affordable prices. A picture of but-
terflies surrounds an inside sign. The butterfly is a sign of
rebirth, and the shop, which for many years was located
inside the Grace United Methodist Church, was now moved
to the building just behind it. The move will allow the shop
to be open year round, rather than close each winter as it
previously had.
“Good quality merchandise,” said church volunteer
Norma Jean Frazier of the items for sale.
“There’s nothing with spots. We check everything. Also,
there are some new items,” said volunteer Gretchen
McClanahan of the clothing.
The shop is manned by a group of church volunteers
which include Frazier, McClanahan, plus Lillian Scudder,
Marian George, Mercedes Ramirez, and Roger Dickerson.
A long-time shop volunteer, Frazier, who lost some loved
ones in 2003, shared the thinking behind the shop’s name:
“This wouldn’t happen if it wasn’t for God. Nothing is
ours; it is lent to us by Him,” she said.
The Rev. E Randall Bean, pastor of the church, reiterat-
ed that they maintain a high quality of goods in the shop.
Bean also noted that sometimes that special item that comes
their way….such as a bridal gown that was given to the
shop this summer. Also, items that don’t sell, don’t just sit
there, but are given to Market Street Mission to make room
for more. The inventory in the small shop is always chang-
ing.
Previously, the store was located in a part of the church
that was damp and was also needed for other functions dur-
ing the year. Thus, the shop could not be opened year
‘round. Bean notes that with the recent move, the church
hopes to better serve the community with a store that will
be opened all 12 months of the year, closing only in times
of inclement weather.
Donations to the shop come from the community. It was
noted that donations to the shop are only taken during the
hours of operation and that the shop will accept small
household products, shoes, dishes, pocketbooks, children’s
Volunteer organizes clothing for sale at the thrift shop.
books, and clothing for all ages. It does not take furniture,
records, or car seats.
Customers come from the community; many are walk-
ins. Frazier and Bean both expressed that it is a win-win
for the community and the church.
In these tough economic times, the affordable merchan-
dise helps people to get items they need. Frazier recalls a
man that came in and bought an NFL jacket and a coat for
his family. She remembered the pride the man felt that he
was able to buy the items.
While the ultimately goal is to have the thrift ship funds
go to benevolences; for now, the monies taken in help pay
the church’s expenses.
The Thrift Shop has both daytime and evening hours. It
is opened Tuesday 10am – 4pm, Wednesdays 7pm – 9pm,
Fridays 7pm – 9pm, and Saturdays from 10am – 4pm.
Rev . E. Randall Bean shows wedding dress that was donated to
the shop this summer.

Listen To Luigi The views and opinions of this syndicated column does not
reflect the view and opinions of MJ Media LLC

OK Why Harp on The Same Subject Obama?

I
received letters and e-mails about my
last article both in favor and against
what I had said about the health care
proposal. What boggles my mind is that
there are people who continue to support
such a bill when it clearly will change the
way people are treated for illnesses in this
country–forever. Forget all the talk about
death panels and killing grandma. Just take
a common sense approach to the way the
government runs any program and look at
what the results have been over the years.
Let’s start with the simple Cash for
Clunkers program. On the surface, the pro-
gram was a success. It was great for the peo-
ple who needed and could afford to buy a
new car, thanks to taxpayers like you and
me who helped pay for it. This was a simple
plan–put a few billion dollars aside and pay
the auto dealers when they sell a car into
that program. Well, it was a nightmare and
ran out of money. The system was so
screwed up that it could not handle the load.
So the auto dealers are still waiting for their
money from the government and will be
waiting for a while. This was an easy pro-
gram to administer and should not have had
the complications that it did.
Next look at Social Security. I recall a
very unpopular president a few years back
who talked about doing something to fix
Social Security because it was going broke.
The party in power at the time and still in
power now said that nothing was wrong
with the fund. In May the Washington Post
wrote the following:
“The financial health of the Social
Security system has eroded more sharply in
the past year than at any time since the mid-
1990s, according to a government forecast
that ratchets up pressure on the Obama
administration and Congress to stabilize the
retirement system that keeps many older
Americans out of poverty.”
So we have another government program
that is going or will be going broke because
the government has spent too much of the
money that we put into the Social Security
funds.
Then there’s the United States Post
Office. What a mess. You have a union-run
program that is very efficient but never has
had to worry about making a profit, because
the program is subsidized by you and me.
The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) is not a pri-
vate company and has little urgency to
make money or worry about new ways to
drum up business. The USPS once owned
the market. Then Fedex and United Parcel
Service came along and stole the market out
from under the government. See, capitalism
works. Socialism does not.
An Associated Press article in March
said that the post office will run out of
money this year unless it receives help.
Postmaster General John Potter sought per-
mission from Congress to cut mail delivery
to five days a week. "We are facing losses of
historic proportion. Our situation is criti-
cal," Potter told a House panel. The agency
lost $2.8 billion last year and expects to lose
even more money this year. “Reducing mail
delivery from six days to five days a week
could save $3.5 billion annually,” Potter
said. So they are running out of money and
have to cut services to lower costs.
Medicare is in a mess as well. The sys-
tem cannot afford all the costs associated
with the program. The government keeps
expanding Medicare when there is no
money to cover it. According to a
Washington Post article in May, the finan-
cial health of Medicare deteriorated less
sharply during the past year than that of
Social Security. Medicare, however,
remains the more urgent problem. The trust
fund that pays for hospital care under
Medicare is now predicted to run out of
money in 2017, two years earlier than was
originally forecasted a year ago. That fund
does not involve the parts of Medicare that
cover costs for doctor's visits or prescription
drugs. Once again we have another govern-
ment program that is in a mess and out of
money.
Look at the local government. The
school system is in a mess because of gov-
ernment involvement. The New Jersey
Department of Motor Vehicle–look what a
mess that operation is in. Our food stamp,
housing and government-run programs are
all in a mess. Every single program is not
working the way that it should be or is hav-
ing financial issues. That’s why our taxes
keep going up to help pay for all the social
programs.
I truly cannot understand how anyone in
his or her right mind would want the gov-
ernment involved with our health care sys-
tem. I know we need to fix things. If the
government would be less involved, the
system would be better off and more afford-
able. Look at all the laws that have been
proposed. In particular, there is no open
market to buy health insurance. Under the
proposed plan, individuals would need to
stay within their states when choosing
healthcare providers. We can look at auto-

Harlin’s Point of View....
Let the Sunshine In
by Harlin Parker
T
he recent fiasco in Washington
Township should serve as a wakeup
call to anybody who cares about open
public government, wherever you fall on
the political spectrum. The past two years
or so, and especially the past 6 months, have
been a wild and worrisome adventure which
needlessly jeopardized public safety. It
started, as best I can tell, about a couple of
years ago as the Township Committee
promised the community annual savings of
$600,000 or so by making the switch from
having our locally run and widely respected
emergency dispatch service (what actually
happens when you call 911 when you need
immediate help from our police, firefighters
or emergency medical providers) to a serv-
ice run by Morris County. Well, hey,
$600,000 annual cost savings for our town?
That’d be great. We all know that govern-
ment spends too much and we need to cut
down on costs. Everyone wants to save on
taxes. But, alas, it was all a mirage.
In the end, the Township Committee did
an abrupt about face and decided to stick
with our locally operated dispatch service,
although with some changes. But you
know, dear reader, if we get into the opera-
tional and technical details, I guarantee you
your eyes will glaze over and you’ll be
asleep before you get to the end of this col-
umn. So, we’ll avoid that. What we need to
talk about is the process, the closed, public
keep out, all the facts and real information
kept behind closed doors process followed
by our elected municipal governing body.
Unfortunately, it is an essentially secretive
process followed by municipal governing
bodies all over New Jersey on too many
issues.
What has been especially unnerving is
that here, on a vital issue affecting public
safety, information which would have
allowed us to evaluate the choices and make
an informed decision was kept from us (you
know, us, the people who live here and pay
the taxes). Operational and technical issues
(the eyes glaze over stuff) which were
raised by our emergency professionals long
ago were either not addressed, not
addressed in a timely manner, or (and here’s
the kicker) answers provided showed that
our current system was clearly far superior
to anything Morris County could or would
provide. For many of us, the fact that our
locally operated emergency dispatch service
was far more sophisticated was known early
on, which alone called into question the
wisdom of moving to an inferior county run
system. However, the costs of using the
county run system apparently were not
known until very recently. And no, sadly,
no cost savings to the town were there. So
where did those promises of $600,000
annual savings come from? Who knows?
The Township Committeemen, as so many
municipal governing bodies do, discussed
the issue behind closed doors, citing techni-
cal legal reasons which allowed them to do
so. Allowed them to do so but did not
require them to do so. Much, if not all, of
the material they discussed could have been
discussed out in the open, in public, but that
didn’t happen. What were the conse-
quences?
The operation of our local dispatch serv-
ice was jeopardized. With no job security,
with it being made abundantly clear that the
switch to the county run system was com-
ing, some of our dedicated, respected, long
serving dispatch professionals left. Even
now, there are often times when higher cost
police officers, including our own police
chief, handle the dispatching duties – not a
smart move but one made necessary under
the extreme circumstances. Our shared
services partners in this service, Chester
Township and Chester Borough, were
forced to scramble to find alternative serv-
ice, possibly with the same inferior county
run service Washington Township was rac-
ing to join, but with no guarantee they could
or would be serviced by the county or at
what costs.
To the extent that the Washington
Township Committee defended all this
secrecy as shrewd bargaining, well, it was-
n’t. They weakened their own position by
alienating our partners (the Chesters) who
contributed greatly to the running of our
local service, and they let our local emer-
gency dispatch service needlessly deterio-
rate. Our local firefighters and emergency
medical responders, the brave men and
women who volunteer their time, were
greatly concerned about how a switch to the
county’s system would affect how they
went about doing their jobs. But instead of
being an integral part of the decision mak-
ing process, they were kept, needlessly, on
the periphery.
While there are some things our elected
governing bodies need to keep from the
general public, for the most part informa-
tion created by and used by our public bod-
ies is, well, public. Formal requests I made
under the Open Public Records Act (OPRA)
were responded to differently by different
public bodies. Chester Borough and even
Morris County provided information that
Washington Township decided to keep
secret. Clearly, there is no consistency to

Obama-Care Will Fail
Without Republican Support
With unemployment at 9.7%, the highest
since 1983 and the economy showing no
real signs of recovery, is it any wonder that
Obama's job approval rating has slipped
below 50%? According to a CBS Poll, a
whopping 67% of Americans are confused
about Obama's health care plan. In a
Rasmussen Poll 55% of those polled think
that the war in Afghanistan is getting
worse. Obama, clearly in trouble on the
health-care reform issue has squandered his
political capital trying to shove down the
American publics throats the public option
(single-payer government controlled
health-care).
Obama and the Democrat super majority
are failing on the health-care reform issue
because they are not including the input of
Republicans and the American people.
Moderate Democrats are backing away
because of the trillion dollar price tag.
On meet the press former NYC Mayor
Rudy Giuliani was asked the question about
Republicans failing to come up with a plan
and constructively support president
Obama's health-care initiative said,
“Democrats say 'forget the way you do
things, Republicans, let's compromise.' You
(president Obama) take away interstate
commerce in health insurance coverage
destroying competition creating a massive
federal government entitlement program,
there won't be any competition, driving the
price of health insurance up. You ( Obama )
take tort reform off of the table and people
are scared. You have to cut services to bring
down the over-all price tag of the program,
there by cutting services to senior citizens
who are the largest users of the program.
What's left for Republicans to support?”
From the Politico, Democrat bloggers,
some of which are left wing media
reporters, have their heels dug in on the sin-
gle payer health-care issue.
They are supporting the ultra left wing
sex-obsessed radical base, who despise any-
one who disagrees with them on Obama-
care. They call tea-party goers “tea-bag-
gers,” which in their minds is slang for an
act of sodomy. The radical left, including
mainstream news outlets, has chosen not to
write or speak anything negative on Obama-
care. Journalism is dead.
White House green jobs “Czar” Van
Jones resigned over controversial remarks.
Van Jones issued apologies for calling
Republicans “a–holes” and for signing a a
petition with the “911 truther” movement
that believes some how that former presi-
dent George W. Bush had some responsibil-
ity for the World Trade Center bombings.
The appointment of Van Jones reflects
poorly on president Obama's character, his
associations and just how radical the 44th
president and his wife truly are. Van Jones is
an acquittance of Michelle Obama.
Obama should have never been elected
president because of his ties to an extremist
like Van Jones and unrepentant terrorist
bomber William Ayers. The American pub-
lic is just beginning to wake up to the fact
that it has made a huge mistake voting for
Obama in last falls election.
Many Democrats, including the presi-
dent have vigorously defended Van Jones
and told him not to resign. Do Obama and
Democrats approve of vulgar language and
name calling in public debates? With the
appointment and defense of Van Jones it
seems that way.
Locally, former Democrat Township
Committeeman Kevin Nedd used similar
language as Van Jones in an Internet post
against yours truly.
Kevin Nedd made the vulgar post last
December while still a committeeman after
losing his re-election bid by the largest mar-
gin in the history of Washington Township
to Jim Harmon. This is unfortunate for our
town because any constructive ideas
Democrats might have come up with will be
tuned out.
Kevin's use of foul language has hurt the
Democrats credibility. Family values voters
with school age children will not support
candidates who condone the use of such
language.
In response to my article on Obama-care
last month I received an e-mail from a read-
er who identified herself as a “progressive”,
who said I needed to “educate myself”
when it came to Obama-care (which she
later politely retracted.)
Why is it liberals, when you disagree
with them on the issues always try to shut
you up by making you feel uninformed,
uneducated and inadequate because you
have an opinion that differs from theirs?
Isn't this proof that liberals, progressives are
just beholden to an ideology and won't tol-
erate anyone who disagrees with them?
Why can't liberals recognize some of the
problems that will occur for Americans in a
single payer English/Canadian-style public
health care system? One size does not fit all.
The Observer-Tribune recently printed a
letter from a woman supporting the single
payer public option, who told an anecdotal
story about her friends experience with
national health care coverage in England.
And, Republicans were supposed shut up

given a tour of the facility and were then put
to work sorting food into categories. While
it was a fun experience, Taylor was also
given an opportunity to see how needy fam-
ilies rely on the good deeds of people like
her. The food pantry collects roughly
12,000 pounds of food weekly and distrib-
utes roughly that same amount to families
each week. Taylor’s donations totaled 150
pounds.
Kylene Cochrane, 7th grade wrote,
“Many people don’t get to come home to
what I get to! Many people don’t have
enough food for their children, or them-
selves!” She also wanted to make a differ-
ence by giving canned goods and snacks to
a food pantry. She and a few close friends
went on a shopping spree at the Mansfield
ShopRite looking for dried foods and
canned items that would meet the needs of
the food pantry located at the Long Valley
Presbyterian Church in Long Valley. When
asked why do you want to win and how it
would make you feel, Kylene wrote, “If I
won, I would feel as though my feet have
moved me along into making a difference in
life! A difference where I am the one doing,
and all the others are watching and want to
do it to!” After a day of shopping, she then
helped to stock the shelves. Kylene has
been connected to this particular food
pantry for many years. In fact, during her
younger days as a Daisy, Brownie, and Girl
Scout, her troop would often visit the food
pantry and volunteer their time stocking
shelves. When Deacon Maria Schenck,
organizer of the food pantry, found out
about Kylene’s visit and genuine concern
for others, she made a special phone call to
say “thank you.”
Ellysa Lamperti, 8th grade, had full
intentions of purchasing a little “bling” for
girls who were looking forward to attending
their senior prom. All three winners were
given three months to the day to complete
their task. Since the awards ceremony
occurred only a day before the prom at West
Morris Central, Ellysa’s window of oppor-
tunity was nearly locked shut. But Mrs.
Micari-Christiano suggested the two could
work together to help bring a little sparkle
to some girls attending the upcoming 8th

or dessert.
Simply Cook It requires 48 hours for
deliveries. Lorenz says a schedule will be
posted on the website to inform customers
when deliveries will be made in their coun-
ty.
Lorenz looks forward to her new food
delivery structure through Simply Cook It
because this will allow her to continue her
passion.
After 20 years of working as a bank
manager at various locations, Lorenz decid-
ed to leave that business three years ago to
follow her dream of working in the food
industry.
“I always had a passion for food,” says
Lorenz. “Whenever we had a party (at the
bank) I always catered it. I have no culinary
experience,” Lorenz admits. “I don’t consid-
er myself a chef; I consider myself a cook I
love to cook.”
Her natural skill for cooking may be
hereditary, she admits.
Lorenz and her three siblings were
raised in Bloomfield by her Italian grand-
mother because both of her parents worked
full-time.
“She was a cook; she never used recipes;
everything was from her head,” describes
Lorenz about her grandmother. “I always
tried to help her and do things with her. She
never measured anything.
“I always wrote down recipes so I could
remember what she used,” adds Lorenz.
One meal Lorenz offers at Simply Cook
It is her grandmother’s dish- “Stuffed
Chicken Valencia.”
“It’s either in your blood or its not. You
have to love to work with food; you have to
have a passion for food. You have to be cre-
ative.”
Her sister, June Hill of Independence,
also has the knack for cooking and works
with her at Simply Cook It.
“We call her the ‘Soup Nazi’ because she
makes her own soups for the business.” In
addition to the meals, customers can still
order items from the Grab-n-Go freezer for
homemade soups and desserts.
“We know what’s for dinner,” concludes
Lorenz. “Simply Cook It takes the working
out of what’s for dinner. You can spend
more time with your family eating rather
than cleaning or preparing. It’s more family
time.”
