July 23, 2013

oy Scout Troop 139 held its spring Court of Honor to recognize the achievements of its Scouts. We meet semiannually to honor our Scouts and give them awards that theyve earned since our last Court of Honor, stated Troop Committee Chair Larry Martin. Over the past half year, the Scouts have worked hard to complete their merit badges and advance in rank, and we acknowledge their accomplishments tonight at the Court of Honor. Tonight we also come together to thank Scoutmaster Jim Pelech for his years of dedication to our Troop and to welcome our new Scoutmaster Steve Davis, added Martin. Emcees and First Class Scouts Michael Fox and Ethan Hamilton began the celebration with an opening prayer which was followed by dinner. Tonight is about a night of recognition and to have fun with our entire Troop and for the Scout families to eat dinner together as we celebrate, said Fox. When asked what his plans are for summer camp, Fox said that he looks forward to working together with Hamilton on merit badges offered at camp and hopes to complete some of the merit badges required for the Eagle Scout rank. The Troop plans to attend camp at Winnebago Scout Reservation in Rockaway,

NJ this summer. The dinner was followed by the awards ceremony. Senior Patrol Leaders called up each Scout individually who earned merit badges and each Scout was asked to explain something that they learned while working on their badges. Scouts who advanced in rank were recognized and were given their new rank badge. The Troops Scouts advanced in rank to Scout, Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star and to Life Scout rank. A total of 38 merit badges were earned by the Scouts, and 49 Scouts advanced to their next Scout rank.

The awards ceremony concluded with a special award, called the Irving B. Kahn Scholarship Award, presented to Eagle Scout Jared Pelech. The Troop Committee selects a scout to receive this award based on a scouts dedication and involvement in the Troop. In addition, the scout must be a high school senior who plans to attend college and must have submitted an essay entitled What Scouting Means to Me explaining the impact scouting has made on his life. Jared Pelech was also awarded the Troop 139 Scholarship Award which is

given to graduating high school seniors. Recognition in scouting also went to Scoutmaster Jim Pelech for his 5 years of service as Troop 139s Scoutmaster. As Jim Pelech stepped down from his role of Scoutmaster, the troop welcomed its new Scoutmaster Steve Davis. "Only a few people realize just how much time and energy Jim has dedicated to the Troop between meetings, campouts, advancement workshops, and summer camp, said the Troops new Scoutmaster Davis as he addressed the Troop. continued on page 6

Lending a Helping Hand

elping people that have been devastated by natural disasters is nothing new to the Chester Lions Club. When the Chester Lions heard about the devastation in Oklahoma, the Club immediately wanted to do something to help. Because of the network that Lions

(l. to r.) Lions Jim Messina, Mike Russo, Marie Messina, Gerri LoSapio, Jaime Goodrich and Rich Lucy pose in front of a few pallets.

International provides, we were able to get in touch with other Lions Clubs in the Oklahoma City area who were providing relief efforts to the area, said Lion Marie Messina, chair-person of the Stuff-a-Truck for Oklahoma drive. In the past, the Club has supported relief efforts for Hurricane

Sandy, Katrina, the Tsunami, the tornadoes in Tuscaloosa, and others. Whenever possible the Club tries to coordinate with other Lions Clubs to get supplies and funds directly in the hands of those who need them. On June 21st to the 23rd, the Chester Lions held a Stuff-a-Truck to help the victims of the Oklahoma tornadoes. When the Club contacted Troy Jenkins, Oklahoma Lions District 3-H Disaster Relief Chairperson, he asked for cleaning supplies, non-perishable food items, personal hygiene items, baby items, and tools. The Chester Lions goal was to fill an 18-wheeler with donated goods from the community and send it swiftly on its way. Because of the outpouring of generosity by local residents, businesses, and organizations the club was able to fill a truck with 13 pallets full of much needed supplies. Before the drive even started in New Jersey, Lysol sent a truck to our contact in Oklahoma and delivered a pallet of cleaning wipes, cleaning solutions, and other products in the name of the Chester Lions. Additionally, several corporate employees were on hand to talk to the Lions about Lionism and their relief efforts. The Club also received large donations of books, non-

perishable foods, and boxes from various companies. But it wasn't the big donations that were the most meaningful to the Lions. We were so pleased to see the number of community members who came out to support this effort. Every little bit helps, and we couldn't have filled the amount of boxes that we did without the help of so many individuals, said Buddy Casillo, member of the Chester Lions Club and Chester resident. The Chester Lions Club is extremely thankful for the help of the community in getting the word out about the event and making donations, and the Chester Township Mayor, Bill Cogger, the Chester Township Parks Commission, and the Chester Department Roads Department for the use of their facilities and help. The schools, churches, and community groups were invaluable resources in helping to publicize the Clubs efforts. The Club sends a big thank you to local businesses and organizations like Operation N.J. Cares and Reckitt Benckiser, parent company of Franks Red Hot, Frenchs Mustard, and Lysol Company, for their generous donations of goods. The truck left for Oklahoma Friday, June 28.

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.

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

Look around you now, this is Jim's legacy. I know that Jim and I will do things differently as we both have different areas of interest and expertise but my hope is that I can continue and build on what he has done to make our Troop even stronger for the future, added Davis. Jim plans to continue to support the Troop in his new role chairing the Troops high adventure program which promotes scout participation in high adventure activities such as mountain biking, deep sea fishing, skiing, and hiking, as well as participation in Boy Scouts of Americas high adventure camps such as Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. In addition, Jim will stay on as Eagle Scout Adviser for the Troop, working with the scouts to help them understand what an Eagle Scout project entails, and helping the scouts through the process of reaching the goal of becoming an Eagle Scout.

Chester Boy Scout Troop 139...

Jim and his family have been very active in scouting in Chester. Jim started his involvement in scouting as a den leader and then became Cubmaster for Chesters Cub Scout Pack 139. Jims wife Teresa participated as co-den leader and treasurer for the Pack. After supporting cub scouting, Jim transitioned into Boy Scout Troop 139 as Assistant Scoutmaster and then became Scoutmaster, and Teresa became the Troops treasurer. Jared, their son, achieved his Eagle Scout Rank this past year. Their daughter Sabrina was a member of Chester Girl Scout Troop 153 and was awarded her Gold Award in November 2005. Teresa was also involved in Girl Scout Troop 153 as Troop leader, and Silver and Gold Award supervisor. Chester scouts owe a great deal of gratitude to Jim and Teresa for their leadership in scouting. Scoutmaster Davis, an Eagle Scout, was previously Assistant Scoutmaster for Troop 139 and before that Davis was a Cubmaster of Pack 130 in Geneva, Switzerland. Troop 139 welcomes Scoutmaster Davis and looks forward to his leadership in the Troop.

By Kate Halse or Timothy Taverna and his family, this year's graduation was filled with pride and emotions. The 20-year-old has Down Syndrome, and recently graduated from ECLC, a private non-profit school in Chatham for children with special needs. Achieving this year's graduation is just one of the many obstacles that Timothy has successfully overcome. During the ceremony, Timothy had a chance to address the audience and his peers. Timothy talked about his long-term goals, which include getting married and living in Long Valley. His mother, Laura, was part of the audience. The entire experience has been very positive for herself and her husband, Tom. Throughout the ceremony, Laura notes, Timothy cried, "and it made all of us cry too." When Timothy enrolled in the school in 2001, he was finally able to interact with and relate to others who had similar disabilities. Before he enrolled, he was a fourth grader in 2001 at the Old Farmers Road School in Long Valley, a public school that serves students in grades PK through 5. However, his elementary school years were often difficult, as he could not relate to

Long Valley Student with Down Syndrome Graduates with a Bright Future Ahead of Him
many of the other children. ECLC proved to be a positive choice for Timothy and his family. The school provides education and necessary skills for children ages 5 to 21, who are grouped by their abilities. From severe learning and language disabilities to various levels on the autism spectrum, the school offers education for a variety of students. His mother recalls that during his time at ECLC, Timothy was able to connect with others and make friends, and that his full potential was realized and appreciated. Along the way, Timothy participated in critical events both inside and outside of school. He ran for the school's student council in 2011, learning valuable lessons even though he lost in the end. The students have also learned tasks such as purchasing tickets for the train from Summit to New York City. Other events have included weekly trips such as visiting a bowling alley and going to Burger King. In addition to these key life experiences, Timothy also learned various employment skills that have helped him make the transition from student to adult. During this time, outside companies came into the school to help teach students various skills they would need in the future. While the students have access to such services during their years at ECLC, once they turn 21 it is up to individual families to find these services. For Timothy, who turned 21 on June 29, finding employment and funding after graduation is a necessity. Once special needs students in the state turn 21, they are no longer eligible for various forms of aid, including transportation. In many cases, it is up to the families to cover the cost on their

own. Timothy is beginning a full-time employment program at Employment Horizons that runs for five days each week. For now, his family has hired a private transportation company to take Timothy to and from the program. Timothy is looking forward to his future as he spends his free time with his girlfriend and lives at home with his parents and brother.

The goal is not for his students to become musicians, but for them to become well-rounded and respected individuals. He notes that his true job is to teach his students to achieve their goals and have some fun in the process. In addition, he wants them to understand that hard work brings success. While his thoughtful ideas and ways of teaching have been recognized among his students and the community, they are beginning to earn national attention as well. In May, the GRAMMY foundation released a list of quarter-finalists for the Music Educator Award, which is the first of its kind. The award strives to honor individuals who have made memorable and outstanding contributions to music education. Initially, there were over 30,000 nominees for the award, including 217 teaches from around the nation. In New Jersey, 16 teachers made the cut, and Piascik was one of them. Piascik admits that he was humbled when he first saw the list with his name on it. While he does not care if he wins, he is "already satisfied" and is "honored to be recognized as a reputable, serious educator" who focuses on the use of music to teach life skills and lessons. His GRAMMY journey began when one of his students, a sixth grader, nominated him. While he wasn't initially thinking of applying, this nomination encouraged him to take a chance at the award. The award is important for a variety of reasons, including the recognition that it brings to music and the necessity of continuing to use music as part of a well-rounded education. Piascik has also taken this opportunity to emphasize the current struggle of trying to keep music programs alive and thriving in schools. He equates this task to a battle, in which an intense focus on test scores and academics in general has caused schools to focus less on music and the arts in general. Before his teaching career began, Piascik was determined to just be a performer, not a musical educator. However, his interest in education was sparked when a young boy accidentally approached him for lessons. Piascik guided and taught the boy through to concerts and other performances. This experience led Piascik to pursue a doctorate, as he truly enjoyed the boy's happiness and enthusiasm. Piascik enrolled in a master's program at the State University of New York (SUNY). Although he relocated to California shortly afterwards with his family, he eventually returned to New Jersey. While he continues to teach at the Black River Middle School, Piascik stays busy with his private music studio in Morristown, AmusiK studio, where he teaches percussion. Additionally, he is the percussion director at the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, and teaches music as an adjunct professor at the New Jersey City University.

Black River Middle School Teacher Nominated for Grammy Award

By Kate Halse or Black River Middle School educator Kenneth Piascik, teaching is more than just a rewarding experience. Piascik, instrumental music director at the school in Chester, has been nominated for the prestigious GRAMMY award. Piascik, who has worked at the school for the last 26 years, enjoys teaching students not only about music, but also about life. He says that while he does teach music,

he Little League World Series traces its origins back to 1947, when the board of directors presiding over the original Little League organized a tournament for the 17 Little League programs in existence at the time. This tournament was initially called the National Little League Tournament, but the name was eventually changed to the Little League Baseball World Series. Eleven teams participated in the inaugural Little League tournament, 10 of which were based in Pennsylvania, where the tournament is still played to this day. New Jersey's Hammonton All-Stars were the lone team from outside the Keystone State to participate in the tournament. Accounts of the championship game, in which the Lock Haven All-Stars were defeated by Williamsport's own Maynard Midget League, were printed in newspapers across the country. That publicity would prove beneficial to Little League, which soon had programs in every state. Nowadays the tournament has expanded even further, with teams fromacross the globe traveling to Pennsylvania to compete for a championship.

oSomething.org, a national not-for-profit that helps young people change the world, announced today that Samantha Rizzuto, age 16, has been named a 2013 Seed Grant winner. This grant will help fund STEMCAMs efforts to spark an interest in young students, especially girls, in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) related subjects. Its important for Americas youth to foster a passion for STEM, since it will have a strong influence on our countrys future, said Samantha Rizzuto, When I heard my program STEMCAM was the recipient of a $500 grant from DoSomething.org, I was so excited. I plan on using the grant money for equipment, such as microscopes, which will help me inspire students to take part in STEM. STEM-CAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics through building Confidence, changing Attitudes, and Mentoring) was founded by Samantha Rizzuto in 2012. Samantha will be a junior at the Academy for Math, Science, and Engineering this fall. While Samantha always excelled and enjoyed math and science, many of her friends said I just cant do it. This statement perplexed Samantha and inspired her to show students who struggled in STEM related subjects how much fun STEM is. She decided to target a younger age group so the students she teaches wont grow up with the I just cant mentality.

Local Long Valley Teen Wins $500 For World-Chaning Efforts Samantha Rizzuto Named as DoSomething.org and Sponsor Seed Grant Winner, Aiding Her Efforts to Interest Our Youth in STEM
This was the birth of STEM-CAM. Through STEM-CAM, Samantha Rizzuto along with several other mentors have been able to present science lessons to students between the ages of 5 and 12 at local libraries. Each lesson consists of hands on activities and encourages students to observe and question. Through this approach, Samantha hopes to instill a passion for STEM in young students and in turn raise the percentage of young American students entering STEM fields. Historically, Americas ingenuity for invention and innovation has strengthened our economic growth, global competitiveness, and our standard of living. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, one million new STEM-related jobs will become available this year but only 200,000 American college graduates will be qualified to fill these positions. You are doing a great thing here. We are all very proud of you and are certain you have a very bright and exciting future ahead of you. Fadila Gathers, parent of a student participating in STEM-CAM. Seed grants, awarded by DoSomething.org, can be used towards project ideas and programs that are just getting started, or to jump-start your program and realize your ideas for the first time. These grants can also be used towards projects that are already developed and sustainable, towards the next steps of your project and organization to help you

as you look to expand your program and grow your impact. DoSomething.org is one of the largest funders directly to young people in the US. The grant winners, age 25 and under, are chosen based on overall impact and creativity. For more information about the Do Something Grants, go to www.DoSomething.org/grants. To find out more about Samanthas Project, go to stem-cam.com. About DoSomething.org DoSomething.org is one of the largest organizations in the US that helps young people rock causes they care about. A driving force in creating a culture of volunteerism, DoSomething.org is on track to activate two million young people in 2011. By leveraging the web, television, mobile, and pop culture, DoSomethng.org inspires, empowers and celebrates a generation of doers: teenagers who recognize the need to do something, believe in their ability to get it done, and then take action. Plug in at www.DoSomething.org. DoSomething.org has helped STEM-CAM with its endeavors to inspire young students to pursue STEM related fields. Being a recipient of the Seed Grant means STEMCAM, a not-for-profit Organization, will be able to pay for equipment that will aide mentors and encourage young students to love the sciences.

sk Drs. Michael W. Freda and Anthony T. Suriano what they love about their orthodontic practice and theyll tell you its the enhanced pride and self-esteem that a beautiful smile brings to their patients of all ages. Seeing patients in four offices in Essex, Morris and Sussex counties, they have been creating great smiles and improving patients dental health for 27 years. Collectively, Freda and Suriano have treated thousands of cases of

all types, using a variety of treatment modalities that do more than straighten teeth they improve the health, esthetics, and function associated with your bite. Our patients leave with healthy, confidence-boosting smiles that change the way they view the world, says Freda. They light up when they look in the mirror, which is so gratifying for us. The partners vast experience and clinical expertise assure superior results over the long term for each patient. Freda and Suriano advocate for early orthodontic screenings so children can start treatment proactively and minimize the need for more extensive treatment later on. They advise patients and their families on the importance of maintaining the condition of teeth, gums, and supporting bone to improve your smile and dental health. In fact, healthy teeth, bones and gums of any age respond well to orthodontic treatment, and Freda and Suriano treat many adults. A popular orthodontic option for adults is the Invisalign system, the virtually invisible way to straighten teeth without braces. Invisaligns series of clear, removable aligners progressively move your teeth into a more desirable position with improved esthetics. Both orthodontists are Invisalign Premier Providers. Staying abreast of all the latest treatment options and modalities, Freda and Suriano also offer the Damon system, the most advanced bracket design for braces.

Tell Them You Saw It In The Black River News, July 2013, Page 17 Drs. Freda and Suriano have established an outstanding reputation and rapport in the community, and are proud to be recognized by both New Jersey Monthly and New Jersey Family magazines as outstanding orthodontic practitioners. They attribute this recognition in part to their emphasis on patient education and open communication. We enjoy connecting with patients personally so they feel comfortable in our office, says Suriano. This summer, all new patients may take advantage of a special offer: 10% off the cost of active treatment (Invisalign or braces), for those patients who commit to treatment by August 31, 2013. Some exclusions apply so be sure to call the office for details at 908-852-1252. The office accepts many insurance plans and the professional staff will work with you regarding benefits and to establish a flexible payment plan.

Children and Their Parents Share A Healthier Way to Eat at School Lunch Farm
considerable pre-season costs incurred by the farmer, including purchases of seeds and equipment. The CSA model is based on a shared commitment to a local, equitable farm system that encourages owners of small farms to be good stewards of the land and at the same time helps them to be productive and profitable. This year, School Lunch Farm also has a stand at the Branchburg Farmers Market, and is supplying produce to Arturos Restaurant in Maplewood. Noon bought her land a little more than a year ago at auction, and is in her second season at the farm. While she works towards organic certification, she uses organic practices -- no chemical fertilizers or pesticides -- to grow a wide variety of vegetables that includes all types of greens, squashes, root vegetables, lettuces, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and annual and perennial herbs, among many other vegetable crops. We plant almost every vegetable you can grow in northern New Jersey, she said. The number of shares sold has increased 50 percent from last year, and there are still weekly shares available. Im growing enough food for 100 families, said Noon.

By Julia Lawlor here are plenty of perfect summer days at Margaret Noons School Lunch Farm this season, with the sun beaming down on rows of heirloom vegetables, a cool breeze blowing, and a full crew of interns and volunteers helping with the planting, harvesting, and weeding of her 70acre spread in Mt. Olive. But what is most heartening for Noon -who came to farming after more than 20 years in advertising -- is the way the community has embraced her. There have been days when, short an employee or faced with a deadline shes not sure she can make -help simply appears. This summer one of my interns read a help-wanted ad Id placed two months earlier and called me, Noon said. He dropped from the heavens. I find when I need help, it shows up. School Lunch Farm operates through a system called Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), in which customers buy shares in advance and receive bags full of vegetables weekly throughout the growing season (with the option of a weekly additional egg share and monthly grass-fed beef shares). The upfront payments offset the

CSA members receive their first share of the season.

This year she plans to donate extras to a food pantry in Mt. Olive and a soup kitchen in Plainfield. Noon, 53 and single, is part of a growing trend in U.S. agriculture: the number of female-operated farms more than doubled

between 1982 and 2007, according to the U.S. Department of Agricultures Economic Research Service, to 306,000. In 2007, women were the principal operators of 14 percent of the nations 2.2 million farms, a continued on next page

continued from previous page jump of almost 30 percent from 2002. While School Lunch Farm might look like many small farms scattered throughout rural areas of the Garden State, there is an important difference: Noon apprenticed at a

Margaret in a buckwheat field, a green manure grown to improve the farm's soil

biodynamic farm in northern New Jersey for two years, and has carried those practices onto her own land. She is dedicated to building healthy soil and enhancing biodiversity, two practices that have suffered in the era of industrial farming.

Noon has also made School Lunch Farm a focus of her involvement in the international organization Slow Food, which advocates for good, clean, fair food raised on small, local farms using sustainable methods. She is leader of the northern NJ chapter of Slow Food, which in the last five years has awarded grants to start vegetable gardens at 25 schools in New Jersey. She often invites school groups out to the farm, where children can learn about farming and taste freshly harvested vegetables. When she first started farming in Mt. Olive, she had no expectations that help was just down the road. Shes been pleasantly surprised. A lot of people have been really helpful, she said. Many neighbors told her stories about the history of her land. A few have gone to work rebuilding her tractor implements and tools. The family that originally owned and farmed this property still has relatives in the area, and they want to help me bring the farm back to its full potential and beauty, she said. Noons vision for the future is two-fold: As the name of the farm implies, she eventually wants to supply vegetables to school cafeterias, so that children can be exposed to healthy, minimally processed meals. She also dreams of creating a lasting community on her farm, perhaps by having young farmers use some of her land for other agri-

cultural pursuits. I have one CSA member who wants to raise alpacas, she said, and another who wants to have goats. Already, her farm is a gathering place for friends, family and shareholders. Last year, about a dozen volunteers helped erect a greenhouse on the property, struggling to secure huge sheets of plastic over a metal frame as they billowed in the wind. Their reward: a potluck lunch, and armfuls of just-harvested mint to take home. Recently, she held a pick-your-own weekend for shareholders who came out in force, little kids in tow, to pick sugar snap and snow peas. On days when it seems the work will never be done, Noon thinks back to those moments. This farm, she said. Is the best thing that ever happened to me. Shares of School Lunch Farm cost $700 (or less than $35 a week), and provide sustainably-grown vegetables every week for 20 weeks, July through Thanksgiving (those who join later will have their cost prorated). There are also options for weekly shares of local eggs and monthly deliveries of local grass-fed organic beef. If youd like to buy a share or volunteer at the farm, contact Noon at margaretmnoon@gmail.com; or phone 908-451-0051. To learn more about the farm, go to www.schoollunchfam.com

he Physician learns that disease must be cured by prescribing drugs or by surgery. Although there is nothing inherently wrong with this approach. It often works. But why does Chinese Medicine succeed where conventional Western medicine sometimes fails? What is it about Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine that can result in relief of symptoms, helping couples conceive when they were told there is no hope, or even a cure that is often lacking in conventional Western Medicine? Although the ultimate result of Chinese Medicine is to cure the patient, the Practitioner of Chinese medicine attempts to do this by treating the whole person, taking into account the various attributes of an individual that, when combined, account for an individuals health status. A person, according to the tenets of Chinese Medicine, is more than their condition. To treat just the condition may yield some results, but, however impressive, these results are usually temporary. People are not, according to Chinese Medicine, represented solely by their illness, but by the culmination of every human interaction engaged in from the moment of their birth and by the culture they are exposed to. The emotional experiences, eating habits, work habits, work and living environment, personal habits, and social network all contribute to their disease, and are factors that, when changed, may lead to regained health. The power and effectiveness of Chinese Medicine is evidenced by its very long history of over 3,000 years of continued practice and success. Did you know that more than of the worlds population uses some form of alternative medicine as their health care treatment? Chinese medicine however, is the only form of alternative medicine that has been regularly and continuously used outside of its country of origin. The experienced Chinese medical practitioner is trained to observe ones tone of voice, complexion, eyes, facial expression, overall demeanor, and how one walks, sits and stands, and to use these observations along with a detailed health history to arrive at a diagnosis. Before the patient says one word, the practitioner already has some idea of

Prescribe Drugs or Worse Yet, Surgery!


who this person is, clinically, simply by observing them. A great Practitioner is one who can process a mix of medical knowledge with a personal sensitivity based on experience. The practitioner of Chinese medicine specializes not just in inserting needles or prescribing herbal remedies, but in being able to see hidden or subtle conditions that may not been seen or understood by Western trained Doctors. The ability to see these subtle conditions takes years of training and is done without the benefit of modern technology. How many of you reading this had or do have pain, or are unable to conceive but all your test results are negative? Many of these types of patients are given antidepressants and are made to feel that their pain is all in their head. The only diagnostic tools used by Practitioners of Chinese Medicine are the Four Examinations. 1. Observing, 2. Listening/Smelling, 3. Questioning, and 4 Palpating. This method of diagnosis dates back over 3,000 years. Each of these examinations can take years to master and the intelligent and judicious Practitioner uses them to arrive at a differential diagnosis. With the advent of technology-based diagnostics, necessary and beneficial as they are, there is a definitive correlation between advances in technology and a decline in doctor sensitivity to the patient, and thus, misdiagnosis. The ability to truly listen and observe clearly, yields amazing clues to the cause of many diseases. This is what Chinese Medicine is all about. In addition to attacking a factor that is contributing to the disease process, it is the responsibility of the Chinese Practitioner to support the individual in his or her goal of achieving overall total health, which includes the physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual aspects of the patient. This multidimensional approach is crucial to the process of true healing. The key to cure is to not view curing the disease itself without regard to side effects from the treatment, but rather to treat the root of the disease, the anxiety and depression that causes the insomnia, which facilitates exhaustion, which lowers the immune function, which leads to chronic illnesses.

As far as fertility is concerned, one and six couples today are unable to conceive and with all the technology available, many couples are still childless. Many of these women are pumped full of hormones and even steroids, baby aspirin and birth control pills, yes, you read right. You might be asking yourself if one is trying to have a baby, then why put them on birth control pills. Yet, Chinese medicine helps these couples conceive without the use of these harmful drugs. Rather, the Chinese Practitioner utilizes the Four Examinations mentioned earlier in this article and Chinese herbal formulas. One of our patients, just this week became pregnant after 2 months of treatment, yet was told she would need invitro-fertilization, because although her hormone levels were within the normal range, they were a little high for her age indicating she may have poor egg quality. So what would you choose drugs, surgery or Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine? I have been practicing Acupuncture and Chinese for over 25 years, with a strong intention to help my patients get well and to empower them to take care of and maintain their own health. As always, Skylands Acupunctures doors are always open to drop by and see all our baby pictures and thank you letters on the wall and/or just to drop by and see our facility.

ome fats can be beneficial to your health. Unsaturated fats, which include polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, can improve your cholesterol levels and promote a healthier heart. Polyunsaturated fats can be found in various foods, including fish and walnuts. Monounsaturated fats can also be used to make recipes healthier. For example, when a recipe calls for butter, consider substituting that butter with a monounsaturated fat such as olive oil or a polyunsaturated fat such as sunflower oil. According to the Harvard School of Public Health, both polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats help reduce "bad" cholesterol, also known as low-density lipoprotein, or LDL, while increasing high-density lipoprotein, or HDL, a protective cholesterol often referred to as "good" cholesterol. LDL can build up in the bloodstream and form plaque that lines the walls of the arteries, which can decrease blood flow to the heart and increase a person's risk of heart disease. Though saturatedfats can be part of a healthy diet, it's best to make sure consumption of saturated fats is minimal. Sources of saturated fat include meat, poultry with skin still attached and whole-milk dairy products. When eating meat, look for lean cuts with no visible fat. When preparing poultry, peel the skin off. And when enjoying dairy products, choose low-fat or nonfat products.

Grapeseed Oil, which has one of the highest smoke points of all oils and is a rich source of Vitamin E, has a light taste that will not disrupt the flavors of food while cooking. This versatile, all natural oil is great to line your grill or pan with before cooking to prevent food from sticking. OlivExtra Mediterranean Blend, a healthy combination of canola, extra virgin and grapeseed oils, is the perfect all-purpose oil that represents key components of the Mediterranean diet and provides essential Omega-3 and Omega-6, monounsaturated fat and Vitamin E. continued on next page

arry Goldwater famously, or infamously, said, I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue! And of course we all know how that worked out for Mr. Goldwater and his party. It seems to me that todays Tea Partiers have a slightly different take. Clearly the Tea Partiers and their fellow fringe right wingers would admonish us that extremism in the defense of our narrow and rigid views is no vice and that cooperation and compromise in pursuit of a functioning government is no virtue!! The United States today is no melting pot. Not by a long shot. There are wildly divergent views held by many Americans on a multitude of issues. We dont have to enumerate them here. For people of good will, holding a range of views is actually a good thing. We can understand any issue better when were not all looking at it the same way. What we do need to do, though, is to find a way to accommodate each other so that we can govern ourselves. However imperfectly, we had been doing a reasonably acceptable job of doing so for many years. With the advent of the Tea Partiers during the years of the Obama administration, governing has become impossible and we are all paying a huge price. Governing is not for the weak. It takes a strong stomach to deal with the sausage making that is the legislative process in our democracy. We all want to believe, and we do believe, that our particular views are correct and that the positions of those who oppose us are, well, just wrong. But at some point we all know that accommodating the views of our opponents must be done in order for a civil society to move forward in peace. For without compromise, what? War? Weve already had one civil war in this country. That should be enough. The Tea Partiers, though, will have none of this nonsense. Along with their strongly held views, they have shown us a level of arrogance which blinds them. They are unable to see any other viewpoint. They are unable to give even a modicum of respect to any view not their own. They are convinced, to the point of near religious faith, in the innate rightness of their positions. And given the chance, they tell us repeated-

Onward Tea Partiers!!

ly that G-d is on their side. Over the past several years, in Congress and in state legislatures, the Tea Partiers have coupled their strict and narrow ideology with the stubbornness of a toddler who wants what he wants what he wants. You can practically see them all with their arms crossed, stamping their feet with a scowl on their faces. Legislative tactics which were used rarely in the past are now routine. All around us, no issue is too mundane. Governing has become impossible. As much as I disagree with Rand Paul and as much as you may disagree with Texas state senator Wendy Davis, they at least went ahead and actually did their filibusters. Hours of talking and holding the floor. In todays United States Senate, filibusters are phoned in. Theyre not even real. Nobody actually does them and oftentimes we dont even know what particular senator is behind the threat. The result is a dysfunctional system where simple majority rule, as directed in the Constitution, is out and super majority rule is in. And with that, the dog is no longer waging the tail. The tail now wags the dog. A small minority of ideologues thwarts the will of the people. The good news is that the rest of the country is watching. Tea Partiers are not unlike the last defenders of the Antebellum South. They seem convinced that all they need to do is scare white people enough so that they will vote in unison. I dont think it is any accident that most of the radical fringe right wingers so dominant in todays Republican Party, who hold sway in state legislatures, do so predominately in the states of the old Confederacy. But be that as it may, America itself is moving forward. Young people are for the most part free of the prejudices and intolerance and rigid ideology that so animates the Tea Partiers. So go on Tea Partiers! Moan and groan all you want. Try your best to muck up our Congress and our state governments. Try to thwart the will of reasonable people wherever you find them, even the heretics of your own Republican Party. Remember, nobody can be too pure. The Whigs knew that. And if it was good enough for them then, what? Who were the Whigs? The Republicans of their day. Why do you ask? Send comments to harlin@harlinparker.org

'Stand Your Ground', Racism, and Eric Holder

By Diane Sori eorge Zimmerman has been found NOT guilty in the self-defense shooting of Trayvon Martin yet two very important ramifications have occurred because off this verdict. First, while this case was NEVER about 'Stand Your Ground'...it was always a case about self-defense...Barack HUSSEIN Obama and crew tried to make it just that so they could use the tie-in to work towards getting Floridas Stand Your Ground law repealedwhich is something Obama desperately wants as doing so would accomplish what his failed gun control law couldntthat is disarm We the the People because if Floridas Stand Your Ground law is repealed the other 30 states that have a form of this law will also most likely face repeal. Passed by the Florida legislature in 2005, Stand Your Ground allows Floridians to use, if necessary, deadly force in cases of selfdefense when they believe their lives are at risk or their person is at risk of severe bodily harm. But the main difference between Stand Your Ground and whats known as common-law self-defense is the matter of retreat. While Stand Your Ground removed the necessity to retreat (pull back), common-law self-defense does require an individual to retreat if its safe to do so to avoid violence, especially to avoid the need to use deadly force. So simply, Stand Your Ground means that a person may justifiably use deadly force in self-defense if theres a reasonable belief of a threat being made against their life or person without having to pull back first, and common-law self-defense means you must pull back if you can. Thirty states besides Florida have some form of Stand Your Ground laws, including those that have adopted the so-called companion Castle Doctrine statutes (a legal doctrine that states a persons home is where the use of force, including deadly force to defend against an intruder is allowed, and where one is free from legal responsibility or prosecution for the consequences of any force used), and three other states are considering either Stand Your Ground or Castle Doctrine laws of their own. So take away the right to defend yourself or your home from 34 states and We the People are in deep trouble. Second, isnt it odd that suddenly Stand

Your Ground is in the forefront since the small but vocal, militant black minority didnt get the verdict they wanted against George Zimmerman. And isnt it odd that those peacefully protesting and even those NOT so peacefully protesting are overlooking that the media willfully turned what should have been a simple self-defense case into OJ revisited. And isnt it quite hypocritical that those who are using this case for racebaiting...those like Barack HUSSEIN Obama, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan, and their ilkhappily looked away when a totally guilty black man accused of killing two white people walked with a verdict of NOT guilty. Where was the outrage for everyone knew OJ was guilty, the evidence was there ten-fold, yet through legal wrangling he was found NOT guilty simply because the media turned the case into an issue of race and racial inequality. And supposed racial inequality is the calling card of vile men like Jesse Jackson who said on FOX News right before the verdict was read that he would only accept a verdict of second-degree murder or manslaughter. Guess what Jesse, we dont give a damn what you will or wont accept. And yesterday one of the biggest racists of them all, Attorney General Eric Holder, calling the shooting death of black teenager Trayvon Martin tragic and unnecessary, had the audacity to say on national television that since the trial in Florida failed to serve justice, he and the DOJ would continue to investigate the evidence in this case as a civil rights case of racial hatred NO matter that the jury verdict was already adjudicatedas in George Zimmerman according to our rules of law was found NOT guilty of all charges by a jury of his peers, but the jury verdict be damned as this was NOT the verdict he and his racist ilk wanted. Placating Obamas allies and echoing the NAACP accusations that the verdict was an outrage, Holder will cater to the small but very vocal militant black minoritythe very ones who if any verdict comes down against any black personeven if they are guiltyyells racism. Claiming George Zimmerman supposedly criminally violated the civil rights of Trayvon Martin, Holder could care less that right after the shooting the FBI investigated and found NO evidence of racial bias or that a hate crime of any kind had continued on next page

'Stand Your Ground'...


been committed. And by his saying that justice for Trayvon may still be possible Holder is deliberately and with malice saying the jury reached the wrong verdict and he will make sure the right verdict, according to him and his racist ilk, is handed downand this makes a mockery of our judicial system for Eric Holder has now crossed the line and is overstepping his bounds by violating the civil rights of George Zimmerman. Thankfully, winning a federal criminal civil rights case is NOT easy for two reasonsfirst, the DOJ will have to prove that Zimmerman acted out of hatred for Trayvon Martin, someone he didnt know, strictly because of Trayvons race. and two, by finding George Zimmerman NOT guilty of second-degree murder, the jury rejected the charge that Zimmerman acted with ill will, spite, or hatred...the very charges Holder wants to bring against Zimmerman. Add in that the DOJ itself has stated many times that negligence, recklessness, mistakes, and accidents are not prosecutable under the federal criminal civil rights laws and the bottom line becomes that Eric Holder wants more than anything for the killing of continued from front page Trayvon Martin to somehow be labeled a hate crime so he can scream racism and divide our country even moreas per the agenda of his buddy Barack HUSSEIN Obama. Sadly, in todays America civil rights, included due process, civil liberties, and the right of being innocent until proven guilty, have now become whatever the racist ilk like Barack HUSSEIN Obama, Eric Holder, Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton want them to be. And while Obama publicly says he wont involve himself in the DOJs decision on whether to bring criminal civil rights charges against George Zimmerman, if you believe that Ive got some swap land to sell you for Barack HUSSEIN Obama will indeed be the one telling Holder what to do after he sees how this plays out over the next few weeks and monthswe know it, he knows we know it, and guess whathe could care less that we do. And so we all need to stand strong with George Zimmerman for this man will be looking over his shoulder for the rest of his life, and all because he was found NOT guilty of killing a thug in self-defense...and notice NO mention of race is included in what I said.

By Cheryl Conway ar enthusiasts get a first hand look at the latest in car features at the recent car show in Hackettstown. Close to 1,000 people came out to the Route 46 Chevrolet 1st Annual Car Show and Grand Opening on Sunday, June 9. There were 110 entries of classic cars displayed and all registration fees went to select local charities. It was huge, says Adam Barish of Kinnelon, co-owner of Route 46 Chevrolet since Aug. 2012. We maxed out the entire parking lot. The event was free to spectators, but car owners had to pay $12 to $15 for their car entries. Cops and Rodders Car Club in Hackettstown co-hosted the car show by helping Route 46 Chevrolet organize and advertise the event. It was perfect weather, says Barish. It was a great way to get out to look at cars of the forties, fifties and sixties. One car was nicer than the next. Barish decided to host the car show to get our name out there, he says. We want to be part of the community. He also wanted to benefit local charities. More than $2,000 was raised. Monies went to Two Kids Foundation- a non profit organization that raises money to help children that have been diagnosed with cancer and other serious health disorders and diseases; Johns Journey- a campaign to raise awareness of a motor neurone disease; and Pink Ladies- a group of young girls who raise money for Smiles For Margaret by selling lemonade. The Budd Lake Fire Department sold 50 50s and the Pink Ladies sold 10 gallons of lemonade that day. A DJ was on site playing great music, remote control cars were driven on a track, Piggys Deli in Hackettstown catered food. At the event, a Power Wheels Car worth $500 was raffled off, along with an electric Power Wheels

Car Show Steers In Many, Raises Money For Drives

Camero. Out of the 110 entries, 30 of the top vehicles were given trophies in categories such as best paint, best engine, and best overall. The Dealers Choice Trophy Winner went to a 67 Vette Sting Ray owned by Norman Dotti. It was a totally restored vehicle with original parts and attention to detail, describes Barish. At the show was featured the 2014 Impala which had just came out two weeks before the car show. With 325 horse power, V6 engine, the latest technology for anti-collision, the new Impala is worlds away from the old Impala, says Barish. Priced anywhere from $28,000 to $40,000, the four door 2014 Impala features adaptive cruise control, blind spot indicator, cavernous trunk , blue tooth integration, available navigation, heated and cooled seats. You just have to drive it to believe it, says Barish. It competes with the three series BMW or C Class Mercedez. The finish, the ride, the handling- this is one big flagship automobile. This car is going to be huge. Car enthusiasts at the car show were able to compare cars from back in the day to the latest and greatest. Some of the cars at the car show go back before seatbelts, says Barish. Compare that to this Impala10 airbags plus collision warning system which will warn you before you hit the brakes, blind system, lane warning if you veer outside the line it gives you a beep beep, beep,

sensors for parking, back-up cameras, entertainment systems. U can stream line Pandora Radio. It knows traffic and will say traffic five miles ahead. Within one year, Chevrolet has On Star in everything, says Barish, giving the driver accident notification, directions to local restaurants. Route 46 Chevrolet plans to host another car show on Oct. 26 to benefit the Morris County Police Chiefs Association. This was the first car show under the new ownership, says Dave Shapiro, general manager who worked as a parts manager when the dealership was known as Kevil Chevrolet. Barish and his sister, Jessica- who also own Route 23 Honda in Pompton Plains - bought the business- formerly called Kevil Chevrolet- last year after the former owner Mike Kevil died after owning the dealership since 1984. Raised by car dealer owners, Barish grew up in the car business since he was five years old. His parents were Pontiac Dealers and owned Regal Pontiac in West Caldwell from 1968 until 1974, when they switched to becoming Honda Dealers. They owned Fairfield Honda in 1974, which moved in 1983 to Route 23 Honda in Pompton Plains. It was fantastic, says Shapiro, perfect weather. We raised money for a great cause. Route 46 Chevy is doing everything to get involved in the community. Its a local business. Were looking to give back to the community. We feel its very important.
