hester First Aid Squad (CFAS) announced its Line and Administrative Officers for 2014:
Administrative Officers: President: Russi Champi; Vice President; Mary Robinson; Treasurer: Julia Robinson. Administrative officers are responsible for the business aspect of the squad, including facilitating meetings and maintaining finances. Line Officers: Chief: Cris Champi; Deputy Chief: Michael Mastro; Lieutenant: Stephen Ilnitzki; Sargeant: Skyler Fraenkel. Line Officers are responsible for managing all emergency responses and the overall operational function of the squad. Other appointed Officers include: Quartermaster: Samuel Rosenfeld; Chief Engineer: Eric Kaleda; Training Officer: Becky Banzon; Community Relations: Sophie Rosenfeld This year marks the second consecutive year that the mother-daughter team will take the reins at CFAS. Russi Champi, a 16-year squad veteran, assumes the role of President after serving in various administrative and line officer positions in prior years. Daughter Cris Champi, a 7-year squad veteran, assumes the role of Chief after previously serving in various line officer positions. Cris continues to be one of CFAS busiest members, logging a record 579 calls in 2013 alone. 2013 Recap: The Chester First Aid Squad had another busy year in 2013. Its dedicated team of volunteers, on call 24x7, responded to a total of 823 calls. CFAS EMTs responded to diverse emergencies, including traumatic injuries, medical emergencies, and fire-related emergencies servicing both patients and emergency fire personnel. For some emergency calls, CFAS partnered with advanced life support units, as well as AirOne, an Atlantic Health System helicopter, plus NorthSTAR operated by NJ State Police. The helicopters were utilized on four occasions to transport critically injured patients to a trauma or burn center hospital. CFAS would like to warmly thank neighboring First Aid Squads who assisted us in responding to mutual aid calls. 2013 was a banner year for volunteerism: CFAS was
excited to welcome over twenty new members to the squad. Among the new members, some are either currently enrolled in EMT school or plan on enrolling this year. Some are drivers, and others are prior EMTs, with other members whose membership status is pending. There are also new cadets who recently completed training and have passed the state exam. Cadets are under the age of 18 who will become full members at age 18. In addition to handling emergency calls, CFAS ensured an on-site presence at several local Chester events, such as the Chester Craft Fairs, and various other festivals and sports events held locally. CFAS' North Road facility continued to serve as a Car Seat Station for the NJ Safe Kids/Safe Communities organization. A few members who are certified AHA BLS Instructors have been providing CPR/AED classes to teachers, athletic coaches and members of the public in an effort to help save lives. CFAS also serves as a Northern New Jersey Safe Kids Car continued on page 4

re you in need of dental implants, and unsure of who you should see? Maybe you want your dentist to take care of them, but they are suggesting sending you to an oral surgeon or periodontist, and that makes you uncomfortable. Or maybe your general dentist doesnt get involved with implants at all. Choosing the right dentist for dental implants can be confusing and nerve-wracking. Its important to understand dental implants are not a specialty; so technically, any dentist can perform the procedure. Dentist have many different levels of training. Most dentists simply restore the implants with the prosthesis, meaning a crown, bridge, denture, or hybrid teeth. These dentists will work with an oral surgeon or periodontist to place the implants; this is where a referral becomes necessary. Other dentists are comfortable placing implants as long as they are straight-forward. If the amount of bone available is minimal, grafting may be necessary and referrals again become likely. Some dentists, such as Dr. Goldberg, are experts in implant dentistry with years of training and experience, and thoroughly enjoy implant dentistry. The advantage to this is one dentist is taking full responsibility for the treatment and you only have to visit one office, rather than getting bounced

Imagine thirty to forty years ago if you were told that lasers would replace scalpels in surgery or that robotic instruments would build cars; you may not have believed it. By the same token would you believe that chiropractic treatments could be performed using a special hand-held instrument developed by NASA scientists; all while you were sitting in an upright position without turning or twisting movements? Advances in computers and engineering technologies have been able to uniquely blend with chiropractic in order to both analyze and treat the human body in such a way that was never before realized. According to Dr. Michael S. Hyjek, This new form of computerized treatment is so gentle and effective, that it amazes even the most skeptical patients. Its called the ProAdjuster and is the latest, state-of-the-art technology in existence today, and the only one in the Long Valley area The ProAdjuster can safely and gently analyze and treat the spine and other joints to remove the nerve impingement that is often the cause of pains in the low back, neck, shoulder and elsewhere in the body. It also works on a variety of muscular conditions to loosen tight muscles with ease and comfort. Many patients say that its like getting a mini-massage. It can also help increase the amount of motion in almost any joint. Even patients with knee, hip and foot problems such as plantar fasciitis are being helped. It is also covered by most insurance companies including medicare. Dr. Michael S. Hyjek, the secret to the ProAdjuster lies in its advanced piezoelectric sensor that is able to detect the slightest amount of restriction in a joint and then deliver an extremely precise adjustment. He says that Even though traditional forms of adjusting also work, people are drawn to this new technique

nglers, skaters and outdoor enthusiasts often take to the great outdoors when lakes and other bodies of water freeze. But even after days of below-freezing temperatures, lakes may not be solid, increasing the risk that revelers will fall through the ice, possibly resulting in drowning or hypothermia. As a result, it is imperative that safety precautions be taken when spending time on frozen lakes. Though it can be fun to skate or fish on a frozen lake, ice is never safe and it's always in one's best interest to treat ice with caution. Ice strength depends on various factors, including daily temperature, water depth, water chemistry, currents, and distribution of the load on the ice. It is impossible to judge the thickness of the ice by appearance alone. Your best bet is to proceed with caution and follow these tips for survival. * Be prepared for any scenario. Prepare for the possibility of a plunge. Carry a long metal or metal-tipped wood pole, called a spud bar, which can be used to test the strength of areas of ice you are unsure about. The bar also can be used as a walking stick. Carry safety spikes to provide traction if you fall through and need to climb up onto the ice. * Avoid crossing frozen bodies of water in a single file, as it may stress the ice. Also, never venture out alone. Always go with a partner or alert someone to your whereabouts. * Always wear a life jacket. Life jackets act as flotation
the ice, staying flat to distribute your body weight. Roll yourself away from the hole into which you fell and remain on your hands and knees until you crawl several feet away. Only then should you stand up and walk to safety to get dry and warm. Spending time on a frozen lake can be fun, but it's also risky. Knowing how to react in an emergency situation may just save a life.

itzvah, a beautiful Seal Point Siamese cat, was finally reunited with Shirley, her owner, after several months. Shirley had been ill and was in a nursing home for two months recovering from surgery. A neighbor of hers was coming in every other day to feed Mitzvah and clean the litter box. But after a few days, Mitzvah stopped eating and seemed depressed. Shirleys daughter was distraught about her mothers condition and now the cats behavior. It was more than she could bear. Realizing she had to do something, Shirleys daughter e-mailed the Cat Chalet in Randolph, New Jersey, to see if it could help. Susan Mohr, owner of the Cat Chalet, agreed to take the cat, however, she knew that Mitzvah being united with her owner was not a guarantee. It was a risky proposition since the owner was elderly and ill, and anything could happen, but I felt I needed to help this cat and decided it was my obligation to see what I could do, said Mohr. Mitzvah came to the Cat Chalet extremely scared and skinny. It looked like she stopped eating soon after Shirley became ill. For three days, she wouldnt eat. Her eyes were as big as baseballs. She didnt trust anyone. She would back away if you
came close to her. The Cat Chalet staff made it their mission to get her eating again. They were patient and slowly let Mitzvah come to them. Soon, she started eating wet food and wanted to walk around the kennel. After a few weeks, Shirleys daughter sent another e-mail: her mother was returning home and after a few days of adjusting back to her house, she wanted Mitzvah home with her. However, Shirleys daughter had a full work schedule and family obligations, and she couldnt bring the cat back to her mom. As it turned out, Shirley lived in Hackettstown where one of the Cat Chalet employees, Colleen, lived. Colleen offered to drop Mitzvah off at Shirleys house. When Mitzvah got home, she ran around the house, excited to be back with her owner. Shirley was excited to have Mitzvah back too, but she was having problems getting around. Colleen was concerned that Shirley may have trouble taking care of Mitzvah. Colleen agreed to come over and check on both of them until Shirley was able to do more on her own. Ever since then, Colleen has been going over to Shirleys house once a week to check on Mitzvah and her owner. Shirley is slowly getting back on her feet. She has said how grateful she is for the staff at the Cat
Chalet for taking such great care of her precious baby. Thank you for everything you have done for me and Mitzvah, Shirley has said multiple times to Colleen. At the Cat Chalet, the staff makes sure your cat is happy, safe, and sound. Whether it is ensuring a beautiful reunion or making a cat more comfortable during its stay, the
Cat Chalet will do everything it can to make every story have a happy ending. They are located in Randolph, NJ on Route 10. If you would like to see how the Cat Chalet can make a difference in your cats life, call ahead for a reservation, 973-989-6160, and visit the website, www.catchalet.com .

On January 11th at Millville High School in Millville, Rizzuto received that crown, which gets her one step closer to the national title. The national pageant, the teen version of Miss America, will be held on August 2nd at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. Recently, Rizzuto reflected on the Miss America organization and on her new title and what it means to her. Formerly, Miss Libertys Outstanding Teen, Rizzuto is no stranger to the Miss America pageant system. I have been participating in the Miss America system since I was 13. My first year, 2011, I did not win a local [pageant], so I did not compete at the state pageant. In 2012, I was 2nd runner up to the title. In 2013, I was first runner-up. I was very happy each year to place closer to my goal of being Miss New Jerseys Outstanding Teen, said Rizzuto. In the pageant, each contestant had to perform and share her platform; Rizzutos.showed her depth of interests. For her talent, she sang the English translation of Mein Herr Marquis, frequently referred to as Adeles Laughing Song from the Opera Die Fledermaus Conversely, her platform, Balancing the Equation, focused on the need to strengthen science, technology, engineering, and math programs for younger students in New Jersey and the United States Rizzuto, a junior at the Math, Science and Engineering Academy located at Morris Hills High in Rockaway, has

Morris Habitat Volunteer Don Kuhn Receives Prestigious 2013 Huber Award for Outstanding Community Leadership
ong time Morris Habitat volunteer, Don Kuhn from Harding, NJ was honored at the recent annual meeting of the Morris County Chamber of Commerce. He received the 2013 William P. Huber Award, given to an individual who has consistently shown outstanding community leadership. William P. Huber was President of St. Claires Health System and an integral member of the Morris County Chamber of Commerce. For almost 15 years, Don Kuhn, a retired AT&T executive, has been actively involved with Morris Habitat for Humanity and its mission to build safe, decent affordable housing for local families in need. Blair Schleicher Bravo describes Don as That rare volunteer; a renaissance man dabbling in many aspects of the organization and productive in every task he undertakes. To date, Don has been a Board member, Board Chair, early supporter of the ReStore (which sells new and gently used building supplies, furniture, appliances, etc. with proceeds going to build affordable housing) and a ReStore Advisory Team, Advisory Team Chair and member, weekly volunteer at the ReStore, and helpful wherever needed. Dons list of involvements is impressive, but what is even more awe inspiring is to learn that Don is 83 years old! While he is not the oldest volunteer Morris Habitat has, he is by far the most active. He inspires all around him with his vigor and willingness to help---whether it is getting his hands dirty at the ReStore, designing a poster, or writing business plans and procedures. Don is both a leader and a doer. He is very nurturing
and encouraging, thus getting the best from everyone who works with him. By virtue of all that he does, Don shows all other volunteers and staff, that they are not locked into doing just one thing. Morris Habitat needs help in many aspects to succeed and anyone can step outside of their comfort zone to help where needed most. Morris Habitat congratulates Don on receiving this wonderful honor and are so glad that others recognize what they have known all along, that he is an outstanding community leader!

by Hrlin Parker he more I know people, the more I love my dog. Or, in my case, my dogs. Ive taken Mark Twains observation to heart for many years now. Yet these days, when it comes to one group of Americans, its more true than ever. Passionately and fundamentally divided were the people in the United States in the decades leading up to the Civil War. I am coming to genuinely fear that todays wing nuts on the right, overwhelmingly white, super religious, ideologically rigid, and not all that well educated, are whipping themselves up into a real lather as they continue their march, their own war really, against the rest of us. Clearly theyre passionate and just as clearly their views about our country, our Constitution, and our democratic form of government are fundamentally different than the rest of America. Apparently we are usurpers of their America. They are, as their hero Sarah Palin tells them, the real Americans. What they are is frightened and, more ominously, theyre angry. We are all paying a high price for their blind obstructionism and truculence as they stampede to impose their narrow, ill considered policies on all of us. Id like to content myself with a belief that, while these people are garnering a lot of press these days, they will soon return to the fringe of our cultural and political discourse. But who knows? Their fifteen minutes are certainly not up yet. Over the past several years the wing nuts have stormed the Republican Party headquarters. It seems that many old timers have run out the back door. The infighting hasnt been pretty. No. Nothing gentlemanly about this. Beyond question, the damage has already been extensive. And it isnt over yet. Even once respected Republican think tanks, like the Heritage Foundation, have fallen to the heathens. There was a time when many people across the political spectrum, even Liberals, once respected the work product of the Heritage Foundation even while disagreeing with its policy prescriptions. At least there was some genuine academic rigor to their work. Today, academics on both the left and the right agree that the Heritage Foundation is finished, its reputation in tatters. These days the voices on the right seem to be living in a world of their own design. Theyve been caught in so many factual errors and hypocrisies theres no need to recount any of them here. Glen Beck. Sean Hannity. Ann Coulter. Bill OReilly. Michael Savage. One of the most disheartening things about this era is not only that these people are talking, its that so
many people are listening and shaking their heads in agreement. Sad, sad, sad. And as for Fox News. I suggest that nobody should watch it. It isnt news. It is a scourge upon our country and one that will, eventually, fade away. But not yet. Watching Fox may not make you stupid, as some claim, but it sure doesnt make you smart. Lately the wing nuts on the right have been making it exceedingly clear that they are not like us. A recent poll reported that more than half of the people in our country who identify themselves as Republican, let alone as conservative, reject the theories, reject the truth, of evolution. More than half believe in creationism as reality. Think about that. Its one thing to have religious faith. Its quite another, in this day and age, to reject science and embrace, as truth, the idea that the world was formed pretty much as it is a mere 6 thousand or so years ago. And whats worse is that in many states, including Tennessee, Kentucky and Texas, these folks have found their way onto the school boards and have been pushing, very hard, to shove aside the sound and proper teaching of evolution in public schools and to have textbooks and classroom instruction give at least equal weight to creationism. Is it any wonder that American schoolchildren lag behind other first world countries, and even some developing countries, in science? But wait, theres more. These same people, many of whom also selfidentify as Tea Party members, show even more contempt for science. What global climate changes? That shining light from Texas, Senator Ted Cruz, commenting on this cold winter weather has repeatedly told audiences that Al Gore told me this wouldnt happen. Apparently his audiences go wild. Actual scientists around the world arent laughing, though. Im groaning. You should be too. Reject science. Reject reasonable compromise in government. Reject the rights of fellow Americans who dont agree with your religious views. Reject your political opponents as they are not patriotic. Reject, reject, reject. So how will this play out for our precious country? I dont know. I do know that allowing people on the fringe right, the Tea Party far right, to have a veritable veto on reasonable laws and reasonable policies, such as weve seen happen over the past several years, is the wrong recipe for those of us who treasure our Constitutional form of government, where we know we must have a consensus of the governed, by the governed and for the governed. If the fringe right wing keeps going as it has been, maybe we should keep an eye on Fort Sumter. Nothing would surprise me. Send comments to harlin@harlinparker.org
By Thoma Lotito eonard Lance claims he's endorsed by and represents conservative, N.J. Tea Party organizations. But why then, is Lance one of a handful of Republican congressman a member of, and taking donations from, a lobbyist group, the Main Street Partnership, and corporations that raise millions of dollars to protect establishment Republicans from Tea Party challengers? The Main Street Partnership's sole mission is to help Republican lawmakers who believe that only the government has the ability to solve problems with higher spending, and fight back against conservative groups that sponsor Tea Party candidates who challenge incumbent Republicans in primaries The Main Street Partnership, started by former Ohio Congressman Steven C. LaTourette, has positioned itself to take advantage of the current rift in the Republican party. Set to release millions of dollars in corporate funds and campaign donations, The Main Street Partnership will create a windfall for strategists and former office holders. By donating to the "The Main Street Partnership," corporations gain access to lawmakers by contributing money to their "political action committees," this in turn give them the right to participate in events with sitting members of Congress. The list of corporate donors is kept secret. So how does Leonard Lance vote, and does he really represent you? Lance votes more with Obama and Democrats than he does with Republicans. According to "Heritage Action for America" which keeps score on how congress vote on conservative issues, Leonard Lance only votes 49 per cent of the time for conservative causes. Lance also voted with Obama twice to raise the debt ceiling which funds Obama-care. Moreover, Lance voted to raise the price of home heating oil and to tax Christmas trees when he voted for Obama's Agricultural Act of 2014, also know as "The Farm Bill." It's proponents claim it will cut the deficit, but what it really is, is a mass spending bill and
more corporate welfare, jam packed with new regulations that will decrease your bottom line. This bill will ad nearly $1-trillion to the debt, will set policy for the next five years on crop subsidies, nutrition programs, conservation and food stamps. It also includes new stricter regulations on bio-fuels, climate change and farmers markets. Lance agreed with Obama when he said "the debate over climate change is settled," during his State of the Union speech. Climate laws that Obama can't enforce through legislation will be done by executive order. In other words, Lance supports Obama's recent decree that he will rule by "pen and phone" when it comes to implementing climate change laws. Lance, a champion of environmental causes, voted with Obama on restricting the use of coal for generating electricity, which will also put coal miners out of work. Furthermore, Lance, a member of the House Energy and Finance Committee, also votes with environmental groups that believe private enterprise drives innovation, but it's your tax dollars invested invested in private companies like Solyndra (Obama's solar panel company that went bankrupt) drives the economy. (nothing could be further from the truth) So, what's really going on here and why should you be concerned? 57 percent of all electricity in New Jersey is generated by coal. Any new restrictions on the use of coal will raise your electricity rates. This is Cap and Trade through the back door, which Lance still supports and voted for back in 2010. Lance's voting record shows that he's in favor of it costing you more to heat your home and power your house in order to stop global warming and at the same time he's saddling future generations with crushing debt. With the primary election on June 3rd, it's time to start thinking about who Congressman Lance represents, crony capitalism or you, the people of the 7th District?" Agree? Disagree? you can reach me at thomaslotito@verizon.net

veryone can benefit from Acupuncture whether seeking help for an existing health issue or just to promote overall wellness and to help prevent future issues. Acupuncture is an evidence-based modality and research from the National Institute of Health proves that Acupuncture is effective for use in pain management, osteoarthritis, postoperative or chemotherapy-related nausea, addiction, stroke rehabilitation, infertility and asthma, among others. In addition, The World Health Organization declares Acupunctures efficacy in relieving anxiety, panic disorders, insomnia and forty-two other medical conditions. What is Acupuncture? Acupuncture is a modality of Traditional Chinese Medicine that requires the insertion of tiny filiform needles into various points on the body. Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine originated in Ancient China thousands of years ago. The Ancient Chinese discovered that every living being has energy that flows through invisible meridians (energy lines) throughout the body. This energy, known as "Qi" is the motive life force. In healthy individuals the Qi flows smoothly through the channels/ meridians. Imbalance in the flow of Qi results in illness and/or disease. Think of a garden hose. Water flows smoothly through the hose as long as there are no kinks. When a kink occurs, the water builds up on one side of the kink preventing the water from flowing through. Now envision 14 garden hoses attached to one another and arranged within the body. Each hose is connected to an organ in the body. You can see how a kink in just one of the hoses can affect all the other hoses/organs throughout the body. The kink or blockage results in illness and/or disease. Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine is used to restore the smooth flow of Qi (i.e. remove all the kinks) and bring the body back to balance. If you are still following then you are probably wondering how the kinks originate in the first place. Our Qi or energy can become kinked or blocked from physical/emotional trauma, stress, poor lifestyle and eating habits, seasonal changes, over-exertion, and exposure to the elements (wind, cold, dampness, heat).

enetically modified foods, or GMOs, have been a topic of heated conversation for the last several months. People have strong opinions on both sides of the GMO debate. In January 2014, retail giant General Mills decided to produce GMO-Free Cheerios, one of its most popular and well-known cereals. This move now makes shopping for a GMO-free cereal that much easier. However, finding other products that do not contain GMOs may not be so simple, and consumers may have to do some research. Food companies in the United States are not required to label foods to indicate use of GMOs. It is safe to assume that corn and soybeans produced in the United States are genetically modified. Papayas are often modified as well. Produce that has been genetically modified will have a bar code that starts with the digit "8." One way to avoid GMOs is to buy only organic foods, which, in many instances, are GMO-free thanks to stringent regulations. In terms of other foods, it very well may be aguessing game. Speaking with a brand's customer service department may be the best way to learn if they offer any GMO-free products.

It is easy to get lost in the flavor and fragrance of rich chocolate or creamy caramel. But what happens when chocolate or caramel are paired with different flavors, like salty, sour or savory? Spurred by curiosity, the food scientists in the Wilton Test Kitchen dug deeper into unusual flavor pairings to enhance the taste experience. While the terms taste and flavor are often used interchangeably, there is a difference between the two. The taste of a food is what the taste buds perceive, while the flavor of a food is the combination of these tastes, plus the aroma and the other sensations. Treatology is the science of blending different flavors and tastes to create dishes that are an experience all on their own.
