    Royal Lawns of America,Inc., has been in business

    for over 40 years and is

    now in its second generation.

    Michael Miller took over the

    Wayne-based business from his

    father and has continued to pro-vide the community with the

    same fine services that are in tune

    with the environment.

    The owner-operated, owner-

    on-site business offers customers

    the benefit of paying one price for

    the whole year, and there are no

    special contracts. As Michael

    puts it: My work speaks foritself.

    He treats present problems

    with methods that are environ-

    mentally friendly. Im as close to

    organic as I can be, he said.

    Among the services are aeration,

    seeding, fertilizing, weed control,

    insect control, liming, fungus

    control, and IPM (integrated pest

    management). More detail about

    each service follows.

    Aeration: To keep your lawn

    healthy, it should be aerated at

    least twice a year. The Royal

    Lawns aeration techniques allow

    air, light, water and nutrients to

    penetrate your lawn, promoting

    root growth and helping to

    decompose organically an exces-

    sive thatch layer more rapidly.

    Re-Seeding: Areas of the lawn

    that have been damaged or neg-

    lected can be renewed by re-seed-

    ing. We use quality disease-

    resistant blends of bluegrass, fes-

    cue, and rye grasses especially

    selected for your lawns environ-

    ment, improving the appearance

    and density of your turf. This, in

    turn, helps inhibit weed growth,

    said Michael.

    lawn requires properly timed

    To my loyal Life and

    Leisure readers, I was

    cleaning up some saved

    emails and found some inter-

    esting tidbits that I thought

    would be good to share in my

    column before hitting the

    delete button. I hope you take

    them in the proper spirit with a

    little grin and laugh, within the

    insight of the messages.

    Governmentium discov-ered... A major research

    institution has recently

    announced the discovery of the

    heaviest element yet known to

    science. The new element has

    been named Governmen-

    tium. Govern-mentium has

    one neutron, 12 assistant neu-

    trons, 75 deputy neutrons, and

    224 assistant deputy neu-

    trons, giving it an atomic mass

    of 312.These 312 particles are

    held together by forces called

    morons, which are surrounded

    by vast quantities of particles

    called peons.

    Since Governmentium

    has no electrons, it is inert.

    However, it can be detected,

    because it impedes every reac-

    tion with which it comes into

    contact.

    A minute amount ofGovernmentium causes one

    reaction to take over four days

    to complete, when it would

    normally take less than a sec-

    ond.

    Governmentium has a

    normal half-life of 4 years; it

    does not decay, but instead

    undergoes a reorganization in

    which a portion of theassistant

    neutrons and deputy neutrons

    exchange places.In fact, Governmen-

    tiums mass will actually

    increase over time, since each

    reorganization will cause more

    morons to become neutrons,

    forming isodopes.

    This characteristic of

    moron promotion leads some

    scientists to believe that

    Governmentium is formed

    whenever morons reach a cer-

    tain quantity in concentra-tion. This hypothetical quan-

    tity is referred to as

    Critical Morass. When

    catalyzed with money,

    Governmentium becomes

    Administratium - an element

    which radiates just as much

    energy as the Governmen-

    tium since it has half as many

    peons, but twice as many

    morons. And this ends the sci-

    ence part of our column today.On the economic front, Its a

    recession when your neighbor

    loses his job; its a depression

    when you lose yours. Harry

    S Truman, who also said, I

    have found the best way to give

    advice to your children is to

    find out what they want and

    then advise them to do it.

    In mass transit news, Will

    Rogers said, Even if you are on

    the right track, you will get runover if you just sit there.

    Commenting on a past

    political gathering, this inter-

    esting prayer was given a few

    years back in Kansas at one

    opening session of their Senate.

    It seems prayer still upsets some

    people. When Minister Joe

    Wright was asked to open the

    new session, everyone was

    expecting the usual generali-

    ties, but, this is what theyheard:

    Heavenly Father, we

    come before you today to ask

    your forgiveness and to seek

    your direction and guidance.

    We know Your Word says,

    Woe to those who call evil

    good, but that is exactly what

    we have done. We have lost

    our spiritual equilibrium and

    reversed our values. We have

    exploited the poor and called itthe lottery. We have rewarded

    laziness and called it welfare.

    We have killed our unborn and

    called it choice. We have shot

    abortionists and called it justifi-

    able. We have neglected to dis-

    cipline our children and called

    it building self-esteem. We

    have abused power and called it

    politics. We have coveted our

    neighbors possessions and

    called it ambition. We havepolluted the air with profanity

    and pornography and called it

    freedom of expression. We

    have ridiculed the time-hon-

    ored values of our forefathers

    and called it enlightenment.

    Search us, Oh, God, and know

    our hearts today; cleanse us

    from every sin and set us free.

    Amen!

    The response was imme-

    diate. A number of legislatorswalked out during the prayer in

    An article in Januarys

    issue of General

    Dentistry indicates

    that obesity may be a risk factorfor gum disease.

    The correlation stems

    from the fact that obese people

    produce a higher level of

    cytokines, which are proteins

    with inflammatory properties.

    These proteins then injure the

    gum tissues or lower blood flow

    to the gums, making way for

    gum disease.

    Half of all Americans 30

    or older are impacted by gumdisease. Gum disease also pro-

    duces a high level of cytokines,

    resulting in a larger amount of

    inflammatory proteins in thebloodstream. Gum disease

    eventually initiates other

    inflammatory diseases through-

    out the body. There are many

    studies relating gum disease to

    cardiovascular disease, heart

    disease, diabetes, arthritis and

    others.

    Visiting the dentist on a

    regular basis is the best way to

    detect gum disease or to deter-

    mine whether you are at ahigher risk for the disease.

    Removing plaque by brushing,

    flossing and mouth-rinsing will

    also aid in prevention.

    If kids had their way, pizza,

    chicken fingers and french

    fries would make up a sig-

    nificant portion of their diets.

    But parents know they must

    make kids culinary choices for

    them so youngsters get all of

    the vitamins and nutrients

    they need to grow up strong

    and healthy.

    Parents also tend to

    know how difficult it can be

    to convince kids to embrace

    healthy eating. Healthy

    eating habits can help kids

    live healthier lives and per-

    form better in the classroom

    while setting them up for a

    lifetime of making the right

    choices at mealtime.

    Though encouraging kids to

    eat healthy may not always

    be easy, the following are a few

    tips for parents hoping to fos-

    ter healthy eating habits in

    their children.

    Stick to a schedule. Parents

    should establish a regular eat-

    ing schedule, for both meals

    and snacks, so kids learn the

    importance of not skipping

    meals. Kids who learn to eat at

    regular intervals are more like-

    ly to continue doing so as they

    grow older. When kids stick to

    a meal schedule, they are less

    likely to overeat and theyre

    likely to have more energy

    throughout the day, which

    should help them stay atten-

    tive at school and be more

    engaged in their extracurricu-

    lar activities.

    Involve kids when choosing

    the menu. Kids might be more

    excited about eating healthy

    when you involve them in

    choosing the menu. Invite

    them along on trips to the gro-

    cery store and allow them to

    choose one of their favorite

    foods for the meal in exchange

    for eating the healthy fare you

    have chosen. Parents may end

    up eating a lot of side dishes of

    macaroni and cheese, but their

    youngsters will also end up

    eating their vegetables.

    Plan healthy desserts.

    Dessert is often considered an

    unhealthy indulgence, but

    theres plenty of nutritious

    desserts that are so delicious

    kids likely will not realize

    theyre eating healthy. A

    dessert of fresh fruit and a

    small serving of yogurt can

    provide the same post-meal

    refreshment as ice cream or

    cake, but it does so with

    much fewer calories and a

    lot more nutrients and vita-

    mins. Whats more, kids

    will come to look at dessert

    as a chance to eat fresh

    fruits instead of an opportu-

    nity to load up on ice cream

    or other, less healthy alter-

    natives.

    Serve healthy portions.

    Sometimes its not just what is

    on the plate but how much is

    on the plate that can be

    healthy or unhealthy. When

    doling out portions for the

    family, create healthy portions

    so kids are not encouraged to

    overeat. Kids who grow up

    eating healthy portions are

    more likely to continue doing

    so into adulthood. Overeating

    is one of the culprits behind

    being overweight and obese,

    so kids who learn to control

    their portions are much less

    likely to overeat and gain

    excess weight.

    Dont reward kids with food.

    Some parents try to reward

    youngsters with food, allowing

    kids to indulge in unhealthy

    fare in acknowledgement of a

    good report card or something

    else kids should be proud of.

    But using food as a reward is an

    unhealthy eating habit that

    can lead to problems down the

    road as kids become adults

    responsible for their own eat-

    ing habits.

    Set a positive example. Kids

    are more likely to eat healthy

    when mom and dad are

    healthy eaters. If your first

    choice at snack time is to

    reach for a bag of potato

    chips, then dont be surprised

    when your kids opt for chips

    over healthier fare like a piece

    of fruit. Do as I say, not as I

    do is a tough sell to young-

    sters when it comes to their

    eating habits, so parents

    should set a positive example

    for their kids

    anced, slow-release fertilizers

    to replace essential nutrients

    taken from the soil. The fertil-

    izers used by Royal Lawns are

    designed to feed your lawn

    from one service to the next,

    and there is no surge growth

    or burning just steady

    greening and a thicker, more

    beautiful lawn.

    Liming: The application of

    lime increases the granulation

    of soil, improving its physical

    structure and air-to-water

    ratio, helping your lawn toler-

    ate drought conditions.

    Liming increases the availabil-

    ity of many plant nutrients,

    making fertilizers more effec-

    tive and helping to reduce

    weeds by creating conditions

    more favorable to grass

    growth.

    Fungus control: Since fungus

    problems are derived mostly

    from weather conditions,

    maintaining a strong lawn

    through treatment, watering

    and proper mowing makes

    your lawn more naturally

    resistant to fungus problems.

    However, in appropriate con-

    ditions, fungicides may be

    used to help reduce damage

    caused by cell deterioration

    from fungus.

    IPM: The most serious threats

    to a beautiful lawn are weeds,

    disease and insects. Because of

    the variety and the diversity of

    appropriate treatments, they

    are most difficult to control.

    Royal Lawns provides expert

    weed and pest controls, using

    only Environment Protection

    Agency approved materials

    that are scientifically tested to

    be effective. Being concerned

    with the environment, Royal

    Lawns uses only minimal

    amounts where needed to

    maintain control.

    For more information or

    to make an appointment to

    have a healthy looking lawn

    please call Royal Lawns of

    America at 973-839-8483.

    Royal Lawns of America provides

    environmentally sound services

    protest. In 6 short weeks,

    Central Christian Church,

    where Rev. Wright is pastor,

    logged more than 5,000 phone

    calls with only 47 of those calls

    responding negatively. The

    church received international

    requests for copies of this prayer

    from India, Africa and Korea.

    Commentator Paul Harvey

    aired this prayer on his radio

    program, The Rest of the

    Story and received a larger

    response to this program than

    any other he had ever aired.

    Let me close with quotes

    from two of my favorite teach-

    ers/speakers/motivational writ-

    ers and successful Americans.

    Earl Nightingale said, People

    with goals succeed, because

    they know where they are

    going... its as simple as that.

    And Napoleon Hill whose

    philosophies, if edited down to

    one sentence preached, There

    is one quality that one must

    possess to win, and that is defi-

    niteness of purpose, the knowl-

    edge of what one wants, and a

    burning desire to possess it.

    Folks, may you achieve

    everything you desire in exact

    proportion to the extent you

    are willing to work to achieve it

    and to financially follow the

    7Ps: Proper Prior Planning

    Prevents Poor Performance

    If you need more time to file

    your 2013 income tax

    return, you can get an

    extension and no explana-

    tion is necessary.

    You may have a very good

    reason for wanting more time

    to file your 2013 individual

    income tax return. For

    instance, you might want to

    hold off funding a retirement

    plan such as a Keogh or SEP

    until you can save more

    money. Perhaps youre waiting

    for a tax form from a trust, a

    partnership or an S corpora-

    tion. Or maybe youve just

    been busy.

    It doesnt matter.

    Whatever the cause or moti-

    vation, you can usually put off

    filing for up to six months

    beyond April 15. That means

    you could have until October

    15, 2014 to finalize your

    return assuming you follow

    the rules. Heres what you

    need to do:

    Estimate your total tax

    liability for 2013, subtract

    what youve already paid in

    withholding or estimated pay-

    ments and remit most or all of

    the balance, and file an exten-

    sion request form (generally

    Form 4868 for an individual

    return) by April 15.

    You can file the exten-

    sion request form electronical-

    ly, by phone, or by mailing it

    to the IRS. If you owe taxes,

    you can pay with an electronic

    funds transfer, your credit card

    or a check.

    Requesting an extension

    for your personal return also

    gives you additional time to

    file a gift tax return for 2013.

    The gift tax return extension

    is automatically included.

    You dont even have to check

    a box. But if you owe gift tax

    (or generation skipping

    transfer tax) or are request-

    ing an extension only for a

    gift tax return, youll need to

    use Form 8892.

    One more quirk: If you

    live and work outside the U.S.,

    you may qualify for an auto-

    matic two-month extension to

    file without having to send in

    a form. However, if youre out

    of the country and expect to

    meet the requirements for for-

    eign tax exclusions or deduc-

    tions after April 15, you might

    need to file Form 2350.

    Whether youre ac-

    quiring a new

    puppy or kitten for

    your household or adopting an

    adult pet from a shelter or res-

    cue organization, the follow-

    ing tips will help you get off on

    the right foot with your newest

    family member.

    Doctor visits. Just as you

    require regular visits to your

    doctor and dentist to make

    sure you stay healthy, so does

    your new pet. A veterinary

    visit should be a once-a-year

    event, minimum, and more

    frequent check-ups may be

    needed depending on your

    pets age and health status.

    Regular visits are likely to

    include a thorough exam,

    weigh-in, immunizations and

    parasite checks (a heartworm

    test and fecal exam). Blood

    tests and dental cleanings are

    also routine procedures.

    Healthy eating. Your new pet

    may be eyeing your plate with

    interest, but dont give in. Pets

    shouldnt eat like people. Cats

    are carnivores; they need plen-

    ty of protein in their diets

    roughly twice the percentage

    that you do and they need

    it in the form of meat, poultry

    or fish. And while your dog,

    like you, is an omnivore, that

    doesnt mean he should share

    your meals. A food formulated

    especially for dogs is much bet-

    ter and treats should make up

    no more than 10 percent of a

    dogs caloric intake.

    Parasite prevention. Youve

    probably heard of pests like

    heartworms, intestinal para-

    sites, fleas and ticks but under-

    standing how and when to

    prevent them is a different

    matter. Dogs and cats can

    become infected with heart-

    worms, although the resulting

    disease differs somewhat

    between the two species.

    Heartworm disease can be

    deadly, or it can reduce the

    quality of life of both dogs and

    cats. Mosquitoes spread heart-

    worms, and dogs and cats need

    to be protected year-round,

    thanks to the mosquitos abili-

    ty to survive in a variety of

    environments. A bonus is that

    many heartworm preventives

    also protect pets against other

    internal parasites. For more

    information on how to protect

    your new pet against heart-

    worms and other parasites,

    talk to your veterinarian and

    visit the American

    Heartworm society website at

    www.heartwormsociety.org.

    Bathing. Most of us wouldnt

    dream of letting a day go by

    without a shower or bath. But

    daily bathing is unnecessary

    for pets and can dry out their

    skin and hair. Most dogs are

    fine with a bath every three

    months, unless they get extra

    dirty or have silky hair. Cats

    usually keep themselves clean

    without any help although

    brushing long-haired cats on a

    regular basis is advised to keep

    their fur tangle-free and help

    prevent hairballs.

    Making a connection. Dogs

    and cats relate to their owners

    in different ways. As a pack

    animal, dogs expect you to

    lead their pack and give them

    rules to follow. Dogs make

    faces in fact, its estimated

    that they have 100 different

    facial expressions, thanks to

    their mobile ears. Cats attach

    to their people as social part-

    ners and use affectionate

    behaviors, such as purring,

    kneading and rubbing against

    you to show their affection.

    Theyre also quite vocally

    expressive and can produce

    more than 100 different

    sounds.

    Sleep habits. While cats have

    a reputation for dozing, both

    cats and dogs spend more than

    half their time in slumber. Like

    babies, puppies and kittens

    sleep more than adults,

    although their sleep patterns

    can be erratic. Keep in mind

    that excessive sleeping can be

    a sign of boredom. Most pets

    will be glad to forego a nap for

    playtime or a walk.

    Bringing a pet into your

    home is one of the greatest

    joys in life, but it means new

    responsibilities. Understand-

    ing your pets behavior, as well

    as the dos and donts of pet

    health care, will help make

    your bond with your pet a last-

    ing one.

    Home Health Care

    ones.

    2. It provides the elderly

    with a sense of independ-

    ence. None wants to feel

    totally dependent or helpless.

    With some assistance, seniors

    receiving home care can con-

    tinue to function as viable

    members of society.

    3. Home care can be safer.

    Statistics show it is not

    uncommon for patients to

    develop new health problems

    or risk infection as a result of

    being hospitalized. Some of

    these risks are eliminated

    when care is given at home.

    4. Home care allows the

    maximum amount of freedom

    for the individual. A hospital

    or nursing home can be a reg-

    imented, regulated environ-

    ment. Upon admission to

    either, an individual is

    required to surrender a signif-

    icant portion of his rights.

    Such sacrifices are not

    required with home care

    where flexibility is key.

    5. Home care is personalized.

    Home care is tailored to the

    needs of each individual. It is

    delivered on a one-to-one

    basis and involves the indi-

    vidual and the family in the

    care that is delivered.

    6. Home care is less expen-

    sive than other forms of care.

    Home care costs only one-

    tenth as much as hospitaliza-

    tion and one-fourth as much

    as nursing home placement.

    By bringing health services

    home, the patient also does

    not generate additional

    board and room expenses.

    Significant snowfall

    combined with melting

    and re-freezing, which

    New Jersey residents are all

    too familiar with can create

    roof damage. Even the most

    high-quality roofing material

    can be adversely impacted by

    severe snow accumulation,

    wind, pooling water and ice

    buildup.

    To avoid wet and expen-

    sive damage to your roof after

    this winter, its important to

    educate yourself and take

    immediate action to save cost-

    ly, time-consuming damage to

    your home. Dont let winter

    ruin your roof!

    What is an ice dam?

    Ice dams form when

    snow sits on the roof for a

    period of time and goes

    through a melt and freeze

    sequence. As the snow is

    melted by poor ventilation

    and the introduction of heat

    from the occupied floor below

    (lighting, air leaks, ductwork,

    etc.) the water runs between

    the snow and the warm roof

    surface.

    When the water gets past

    the exterior higher walls and

    hits a cold unheated roof

    edges or gutters it freezes and

    turns into ice. As the snow

    and ice accumulation contin-

    ues it creates larger and larger

    ice dams.

    Ice dam damage

    If this situation contin-

    ues, the ice expands and works

    its way back up the roof edge,

    gets under shingles, melts and

    leaks into the exterior walls,

    home or attic. The roof actu-

    ally leaks the whole time snow

    is melting, not just at the end

    of the snow melt. The water

    that melts under snow can

    find its ways into roofing sys-

    tem more easily then a steady,

    heavy rain.

    Damage from ice dams

    may not be immediately visi-

    ble. As the ice melts and

    slowly leaks into the attic or

    walls, insulation can become

    The popularity of Thai

    food in North America

    continues to rise. But

    even the most devoted of Thai

    food fans may not know how

    easy it can be to prepare their

    favorite Thai foods at home.

    Fried rice is one of the more

    popular Thai dishes that can be

    easily cooked up from the com-

    fort of your own kitchen. Those

    who want to try their hand at

    Thai cuisine can use the fol-

    lowing recipe for Pineapple

    Fried Rice courtesy of Katie

    Chins Everyday Thai

    Cooking (Tuttle).

    Pineapple Fried Rice

    Serves 4 to 6 as a side

    1 whole pineapple

    2 large eggs

    1 teaspoon salt, divided

    2 tablespoons high-heat cooking

    oil, divided

    1 garlic clove, minced

    1 small shallot, finely sliced1 fresh hot red or green chili,

    preferably Thai (deseeded if

    you prefer less heat), finely

    sliced

    3 cups cooked and chilled

    Thai jasmine rice

    2 tablespoons fish sauce

    1 tablespoon soy sauce

    1 cup cubed cooked chicken

    breast

    1 cup cubed cooked shrimp

    1/2 cup fresh or thawed

    frozen peas

    4 tablespoons finely chopped

    fresh coriander leaves

    (cilantro), plus more for gar-

    nish

    4 tablespoons finely chopped fresh

    mint

    Pinch of ground white pepper

    1. Cut the pineapple in half

    lengthwise, and cut the fruit

    from the middle, leaving shell

    halves intact. Cut out the eyes

    and core. Set the shell halves

    aside. Dice the fruit. Dry the

    diced pineapple with paper

    towels and set aside.

    2. In a medium bowl, whisk

    together the eggs, 1/2 teaspoon

    of the salt and the pinch of

    pepper.

    3. Heat half of the oil in a wok

    or large skillet over medium-

    high heat. Cook eggs, stirring,

    until set but still moist. Transfer

    eggs to a plate. Wash and thor-

    oughly dry the wok or skillet.

    4. Heat the remaining oil over

    medium-high heat. Addthe garlic, shallots and

    chili, and stir-fry until fra-

    grant, about 30 seconds.

    Add the rice and stir-fry

    for 2 minutes. Add the

    fish sauce, soy sauce,

    chicken, shrimp, peas, and

    the remaining 1/2 tea-

    spoon salt and stir-fry for 2

    to 3 minutes. Add the

    reserved eggs, pineapple,

    fresh coriander leaves, and

    mint; stir-fry for 30 sec-

    onds.

    5. Scoop the fried rice

    into the pineapple shells and

    garnish with fresh coriander

    leaves. Serve immediately.

    Note: If you dice the pineapple

    ahead of time, rinse the pineap-

    ple shells with boiling water

    and dry with paper towels

    before serving.

    Findingthe RightRestaurantfor Your

    DinnerParty

    Over the last couple of years, dining out has become an even bigger luxury than itonce was. Thanks to the struggling economy, many people have decided to cutback on spending, and dining out has become casualty of such events.

    While the economy is gradually rebounding, dining out is still largely reserved forspecial occasions among those whose memory of the recession is still fresh. However,dining out does remain a strong choice when hosting a special occasion such as a birthdayparty or anniversary celebration. When choosing a restaurant to have such a gathering,consider the following tips to ensure that rare restaurant night out goes off without a hitch.

    NEWwhats

    in dining?

    Look for versatility in a menu. Whendining out, the emphasis is obviously on thefood. Couples might enjoy certainrestaurants they have previously patronized,but that does not necessarily make therestaurant ideal for a party. When shoppingfor a restaurant, look for one that boasts aversatile menu that can cater to a vast arrayof palates. Especially for larger parties, theversatility of the menu is very important.Restaurants that boast a large entreeselection that includes meat, poultry,seafood, and even vegetarian dishes ensureseach guest has options.

    Examine the elbow room. Because diningout has become such a luxury, comfortshould be another key consideration. Look

    for a restaurant that provides ample elbowroom so everyone can relax and wont feelcrowded.

    Be sure there are places to park. Chancesare, most guests will be driving to the party.While it seems like an afterthought, therestaurant should provide ample, and ideallyfree, parking. Avoid restaurants that chargefor valet service or inquire if such servicecan be included on the tab ahead of time.

    Reserve well in advance. If its a trulyspecial occasion, be sure to begin the processof finding a restaurant as early as possible

    and make a reservation the moment adecision is made. Reservations can alwaysbe cancelled should things not work out.

    Gargas Roofing and

    Construction can help you to

    inspect your roof as soon as

    weather allows it. The most

    effective long term solution is

    to reduce or eliminate any

    sources of heat in the attic,

    ventilate the attic space of the

    roof properly and as simple as

    it sounds keep gutters and

    vents clean from the debris.

    Be sure to have bath fans,

    kitchen fans and 2nd floordryers terminate at walls not

    roofs.

    Eliminate or fix: uninsu-

    lated recessed ceiling lights,

    poor attic ventilation, uninsu-

    lated folding attic stair open-

    ings, heating ducts, furnace or

    water heating equipment in

    the attic and other similar

    problems.

    Also keep your eyes for

    peeled shingle granules which

    are a clear sign of serious wear

    and tear. They might indicate

    that the singles are at the end

    of their lives.

    DID YOU KNOW?

    Receiving a diploma is

    something to take seriously,

    even for those students whoare somewhat older than their

    fellow graduates. In 2003,

    Gustava Bennett Burrus grad-

    uated from Richmond High

    School outside of San

    Fransisco, Calif., at the age of

    97. Ruth Hayes Green gradu-

    ated from the Adult High

    School of the Perth Amboy,

    New Jersey Adult Education

    Center in 2010 at age 98. In

    2013, 106-year-old Fred

    Butler, a student at

    Beverly High School in

    Massachusetts, received his

    high school diploma. Hebroke the Guinness World
