Are you interested in getting the very most for your gold?


Jack Hertz, a retired jeweler is currently working as a liaison between his clients & a company that recycles gold. They test for gold content & weight. The process takes 2-4 weeks. The day he’s sent the payment is the day you get a cashier’s check. Because Jack has no overhead you receive a MUCH HIGHER percentage for your gold than had you visited a Jewelry Store, Pop Up Store, or Home Gold Party. The gold market is fluid but it is still well over a $1000 an ounce higher than ever in our lifetime. Jack is professional, honest and his reputation is flawless. AMAZING references are available from MANY local satisfied customers. If you’re interested in getting the greatest return for your jewelry, call Jack or Cheryl at 747-444-9111.

Learn Sarver Heart Center’s Continuous Chest Compression CPR


Every three days, more Americans die from sudden cardiac arrest than the number who died in the 9-11 attacks. You can lessen this recurring loss by learning Continuous Chest Compression CPR, a hands-only CPR method that doubles a person’s chance of surviving cardiac arrest. It’s easy and does not require mouth-to-mouth contact, making it more likely bystanders will try to help, and it was developed at the University of Arizona College of Medicine. “This video is worth sharing,” said Gordon A. Ewy, MD, director of the UA Sarver Heart Center and one of the research pioneers who developed this method.
