Hearing Opens for Plans o f Summit Medical Group Facility in Livingston

The Planning Board met on Tues­day evening to hear a proposal for a Summit Medical Group facility at 75-89 East Northfield Road, a site that housed Burrelle's Press Clip­ping Service for many years. The applicant proposes to convert an existing commercial building, and construct a second story addition. The facility will include urgent care, imaging, physical therapy, laboratory ambulatory surgery, infiision and a stafflounge area.

The applicant's attorney, Stephen Geflher, pointed out that the origi­nal plan called for a point-of-care pharmacy; however, out of respect to existing pharmacies in town, that has been removed from the application. Also appearing at the meeting was Jason Rittie, an attorney representing Carolyn Simons, a neighbor at 69 East Northfield Road, the property where Bagels 4 U is housed.

The proposal calls for the use of the existing footprint of26,000 square feet with a second floor addition, bringing the total facility to 52,000 square feet. Lynn Lang, chief of strategy and business development for Summit Medical Group in Berkeley Heights, reviewed the operations side of the proposed facility.

Lang explained that the medical facility will operate seven days a week, opening at 7 a.m. and closing at 10 p.m. during the week and from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the weekends.

She said that the urgent care por­tion of the facility would use about 4,000 square feet, a small proportion of the entire facility. Lang added that the urgent care facility is not intended to be an emergency room; but rather, a location that deals with emergen­cies. Ambulances will not deliver patients but will only take patients out o f the facility if an emergency presents itself. Ambulettes, a smaller vehicle most often used for medical transportation, usually as a van with full handicapped capabilities, will use the facility.

Lang testified that the Livingston facility will be considerably smaller than the group's existing property in Berkeley Heights, which is five times the size of the proposed facility. Summit Medical Group has also just received approval to open a 100,000 square foot facility in Florham Park in coordination with Atlantic Health.

The facility, Lang said, typically has between 25 and 30 physicians at the property, two of whom are designated to emergency care. The facility will also employ 115 staff members.

After much discussion and ques­tioning, the Board determined that the most patients that could be seen on an average day would be about 750. This number was predicated on having all doctors at the facility all day, and each

having a full schedule, Lang said, “It is difficult to predict a solid number, because the doctors' hours fluctuate and some are surgeons with hospital time within the day.”

Lang explained that medical waste is first deposited in a designated closet and then transported by an outside company that specializes in this type ofremoval. Deliveries will be done by box truck, first coming to the Berkeley Heights facility and then to Livings­ton. The proposal does not call for a loading dock. Lang concluded her testimony saying, “Summit Medical Group looks forward to coming to this location and they pride themselves on being good neighbors.”

Planner and engineer Michael Lanzafama walked the Board and the audience of about 25 people through the proposed plans. The property, the planner said, is situated on 4.43 acres on East Northfield Road. It is bound on the north by Canoe Brook and on the western side by Schindler Way, It was noted that the current entrance to the

parking lot, now located oflFSchindler Way, will not be used except for an extreme emergency. All vehicular traf­fic will come from Northfield Road. The new plan shifts the driveway to the east and a newly constructed left hand turn lane will aid access into the driveway,

A 50 foot riparian buffer will be maintained along Canoe Brook, allow­ing existing vegetation to reforest. The proposal increases parking from 215 spaces to 346, providing 36 parking spaces for the handicapped. The main entrance to the Summit Medical Group facility will be in the rear.

Some of the parking lot will be landscaped and the entire property will have a new storm management plan, Lanzafama explained. The plan calls for two underground systems and one surface detention at the northern edge of the property. A further explanation of parking will be discussed when a traffic expert is called to testify.

Livingston's Own "Stiff Joints" Perform at Summer Concert Series

Following a Springsteen cover band and a doo wop classic group, Livingston's own Stiff Joints will be the third presentation of the Livingston Summer Concert series. The concert will be held at 7 p.m. on Sunday, July 21, at the Livingston gazebo, weather permitting. In case o f inclement weather, the concert will be held in the Livingston High School auditorium.

"The Stiff Joints are going to put on a show for the whole family this Sunday night," says frontman Dave Zalayet. "We are going to prove that summers in Livingston rock!" The Livingston-based rock-n-roll band is made up of Livingston residents David Zayalet, Ruthelyn Elkin, Andy Spielman, Mike Radin, David Beckman. Andrew Pitman and Justin Escher Alpert, as well as Rich Mair. All ofthe band members have children and see their musical collaboration as a way to model positive attitudes about life.

“I think that the point that we are trying to make is that... if s important that our kids see that here in Livings­

ton, New Jersey of all places, that we do know how to live life and learn and grow as adults and not take ourselves too seriously all of the time,” says guitarist Andy Spielman.

Zayalet, who, is the band’s front­man, added, “We started out pro­moting ourselves as ‘Livingston’s Premiere Rock and Roll Band’ as a kind of joke, figuring that there were no other rock and roll bands in Livingston.” Zayalet then began to find out how many other Livingston residents were in bands and realized that the township has many interest­ing people.

Keyboardist Mike Radin opined that life is really measured by what one makes of opportunities.

“And the good times...,” adds gui­tarist David Beckman.

Alpert, the band’s guitarist, says that the Stiff Joints’ shows provide a time for Livingston parents to take a break and enjoy themselves.

Mair, the drummer, said that the band members were in awe of the number o f people who have come

Jeremy Knopf Looks Forward to Being Voice On School Board for High School Students

Jeremy KnopfAs the new student representative

to the Board ofEducation, Livingston High School senior, Jeremy Knopf admits that he has had one major challenge so far.

"Sitting on the panel can be in­timidating," said Knopf, who will be a Junior in the- fall. ”! am trying to become more confident."

To that end, he has spent his first few meetings quietly absorbing the culture of educational leadership, such as the ins and outs of Board meetings, policies, etc.

At 16 years of age, Knopf is no stranger to mastering new cultures. He has been studying Chinese since seventh grade and says that he is about three quarters of the way to fluency.

Knopf joked that, initially, as a middle school student, his goal was to be able to order exotic dishes in Chinese restaurants. Now, his inten­tion is to major or minor in Chinese, as well as earn a degree in international business or policy, in college.

Currently, he is honing his leader­ship skills as a member of the high school's Student Government Asso­ciation (SGA). He knew last year that he wanted to be a part of its executive board. The SGA is composed of five positions, one of which is a student representative to the Board ofEduca­tion. After attending a few meetings and a talking with former student representative Mo Pasternak, Knopf decided that he would like to take on that role.

"It sounded interestingand I thought it would be a good position," he stated. He ran a successful campaign and was recently elected as the representative for the 2013-14 school year.

In addition to being involved in SGA, Knopf is on the board of the high

school's Chinese Honor Society and is a member o f its Chinese Culture Club. Twice a year, he also participates in the PB&J Club's food donation project. He and other classmates spend an entire day making dozens of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that they then donate to a homeless shelter.

This summer, he will continue a family tradition by joining his ex­tended family at his grandparents' beach house on Long Beach Island. While on LBI, he works at Country Kettle Fudge and spends time with his sister, Becky, and several cousins. His parents, Eric and Shelley Knopf and his grandparents, Robert and Elayne Simandl, are all Livingston residents.

Knopf looks forward to providing information to the Board in the fall and aims to offer valid and relevant input,

"I want to make sure that I'm talking about the overall school, not just my own personal goals," he said.

He plans to get a better feel for the thoughts of and issues facing the student body this year through student surveys, as well as through information

■ from class officers. In the future, he plans to hold open meetings.

"1 want students to feel comfort­able coming to me with issues," he stated.

Scholarshipawards.Sponsorcolleges include 113 private and 77 public institutions located in 44 states and the District of Columbia.This final group of winners brings the number of 2013 National Merit Scholars to more than 7,800.

In addition to college-sponsored awards, two other types o f National Merit Scholarships were offered; 2,500 National Merit $2500 Scholar­ships, for which all finalists competed, and more than 1,000 corporate-spon­sored Merit Scholarship awards for finalists who met criteria specified by the granting organizations.

This year’s competition for Na­tional Merit Scholarships began when approximately 1.5 million juniors in some 22,000 high schools took the 2011 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/ NMSQT), which served as an initial screen of program entrants. In Septem­ber 2012, about 16,000 semifinalists were named on a state representational basis in numbers proportional to each state’s percentage of the national total of graduating high school seniors. Semifinalists were the highest-scoring program entrants in each state and represented less than one per cent of the nation’s seniors.

To become afinalist, each semiflnal- ist had to complete a detailed schol­arship application, which included writing an essay, describing leadership positions and contributions in school and community activities, showing an outstanding academic record, and being recommended by a high school official. Semifinalists also had to take the SAT and earn scores that confirmed their performance on the initial qualifying test. From the semi­finalist group, about 15,000 attained finalist standing, and more than half of the finalists were chosen to receive National Merit Scholarships.

Four Livingston Residents Among USA Maccabiah Team

Former Livingston resident Jeff BUkantz, who is general chairman of Maccabiah USA's organizing commit­tee, reports that the 2013 Team USA will be the largest delegation ever to travel from the U.S. to compete in an Olympic Committee-sanctioned event.

Often called "the JewishOlympics," the Maccabiah is held every fouryears in Israel. After the Olympics and the World University Games, the Macca­biah is the third-largest international sporting event in the world. The 2013 Maccabiah Games, the 19th in the Games' history, opened yesterday, July 17, and will continue through the end of the month. The games will include nearly 8,000 participants from throughout the world in 82 teams of six divisions competing in 31 differ­ent sports.

O f the more than 1,1OO American- Jewish athletes and coaches in learn USA, four are from Livingston. Competing from our community will be Barbara Rosenbaum. Phyllis Shelkowitz, Daniel Will', and Jessica Rockford.

Rosenbaum, who will swim in the masters division, participated in the 2009 Maccabiah games, winning gold for the 50M breaststroke as well as silver and bronze for freestyle, but­terfly, backstroke, and breaststroke in individual and relay events. The 71 year old has 15 years of competitive swimming e.xperience.

An open table tennis competitor, Phyllis Shelkowitz, 63, is a first time Maccabiah participant but has 50 years of experience in the game.

Golfer Daniel Wilf is 18 years old with 12yearsofexperience,including four years at Newark Academy. He was named second team All-Confer­ence in both his sophomore and junior years and first team All-Conference in his senior year. A first time Maccabiah participant, the Vanderbilt University student will compete in juniors golf

Jessica Rockford will compete in juniors fencing.

Also a fencer, Jeff-Bukantz, who now resides in Montville, won a gold medal in epee in the 1985 Olympics and in foil in 1989. He has also served as captain for the U.S. fencing team in the 2004 and 2008 Olympics.

Bukantz noted that inthe Olympics, athletes are housed by country; how­ever, in the Maccabiah Games, they are grouped by sport. He has been quoted as saying, "You make life-long friends at Maccabiah... It isn 't a 'Kumbaya experience,' It's very competitive. The will to win is just the same as in the Olympics,"

Bukantz also lauded the athletes in the masters division, who are required to sponsor an open athlete as part of

tl'ieir own participation. "It's a sort of circle of life thing," he has said.

When asked how many medals the U.S. delegation has won at past Maccabiah Games, Bukantz has been quoted as saying, "Our success is not measured by how many medals we bring home, but rather by how many feet land in Israel."

A fund-raiser for the Yakov Glaz Cancer Fund will be held on Monday, July 22. at Gourmet Cafe Italian Bistro in Parsippany. The event is organized by Livingston resident Alla Glaz in memory of her late husband.

A Lack o f SupportDespite the fact that there are still signs posted around

town advertising Livingston's Farmers' Market, there will be no Farmers' Market here this year. The Tribune has received several inquiries as to why the market would not be open and every time the caller was told that there had not been enough community support, the callers appeared to be surprised and disappointed. So were we.

Beth Lippman, executive director of the Business Im­provement District which organized the Fanners' Market, has explained that the market did not receive resounding support from the community. She noted that the weekly event had been designed to bring people into town, and to expose prospective shoppers to the local business community. Unfortunately, she said, that didn't happen.

The Market's first location was in the rear of a strip mall. With low visibility from the street, it was hard to find unless you knew it was there. The second location was in the middle of Livingston Town Center, where it obstructed many of the limited number of parking spaces on the main street.

Finally, the Market's last two years were held in the Village at Livingston, where parking was plentiful and visibility was high. Sti 11, few people attended the weekly Market. We don't understand why not. There were bountiful selections of whatever flowers, fruits and vegetables were in season. The vendors were usually interesting to chat with and helpful in picking out produce. In addition to the locally grown items, there were prepared frozen foods and fresh baked goods as well as the "pickle man," who had a plethora of pickled items.

Lippman noted that the weather last summer on Thursdays - market day in Livingston - was either rainy or sweltering; neither condition was conducive to strolling through a Farm­ers' Market. That's true. We remember dashing over to purchase some com and tomatoes and mnning back to the car because it was so beastly hot. Certainly, this summer would not have been better on that account.

Lippman added that competition for shoppers had sharply increased since the Farmers' Market was introduced in town. With the renovations and improvements offered at local supermarkets along with the addition of a store on Route 10, bearing the name Farmers Market, offering fresh produce, shoppers did not have to wait for Thursday to procure their fhiits and vegetables.

Nationwide, the number of community-hosted farmers’ markets has grown from 2,863 in 2000 to more than 7,800 in 2012, according to the nonprofit, Virginia-based Farmers Market Coalition. In New Jersey, roughly 148 such markets will operate this season. That too, offered great competition for Livingston's stmggling venue. Well-established markets in nearby Summit and Montclair, along with fledgling endeavors in Roseland and Whippany offer many choices and more competition. Many of them are on the weekends when shoppers have more available time.

The value of flavor, freshness and meeting the people who grow our food seems to us as an incentive to attend a Farmers' Market and we are saddened that our local market is not opening. Consumers receive unsurpassed quality and freshness as well as a window into where our food comes from. While customers get a superior product at prices that average out to about what supermarkets charge, the farmers get a lifeline that seems to benefit both sides of the table.

According to a New Jersey Department of Agriculture (NJDA) agriculmral marketing specialist. New Jersey grows more than 100 different varieties o f fhiits, vegetables and herbs. We are also ranked nationally in the top ten as producer of such items as blueberries, peaches, bell peppers, squash, tomatoes and cranberries. All of them were available at our Farmers' Market. The NJDA representative added that farmers typically only get 50 per cent of retail when selling wholesale, so direct sales at a market is a much more profitable way for them to sell their produce. A farmer interviewed for a 2009 study by the Rutgers Food Innovation Center said that at farmers’ markets, he can sell produce that is actually ripe - produce whose very ripeness would fail wholesale grading standards.

All in all. Farmers’ Markets seem to be a win-win situa­tion for both the consumer and the farmer. It is very sad that the Livingston market did not receive sufficient support to continue and we hope that the decision not to have a local market will be re-visited in the future.

The Livingston Health Department this week wrote to the Tribune to ap­plaud the township for being named fifth in the country among Facebook’s "Fittest C ities."

Facebook, using social media, compiled and calculated fitness ac­tivities such as “gyms check-ins, use of fimess apps and fimess related life events from January 1, to March31, 2013.” In addition, Livingston was named "the weight-loss city."

Missi Kimmel of the health depart­ment concluded, "Congramlations and keep up the great work!"

Chrissy's ColumnBy Christine Sablynski

It's a well-known fact among my fiiends and acquaintanhes that I don't watch much television. But the reason why I don't may not be as well known.

One of the many theories espoused by exasperated friends who are met with blank stares to their references to Game o f Thrones or Dexter is that I'm simply too cheap to pay for the premium services that carry these shows.

That is true. In part. But since 1 hardly ever watch TV, really, why should I pay for channels that I won't watch?

Others blame it on a long-standing disconnect between m yself and modem-day pop culture.

That is true. In part. I admit I started to lose interest sometime around the early '90s. And the cancellation of Mystery Science Theater3000 in 1999 was pretty much the final straw.

Another contributing factor is the prevalence of reality shows, which I do loathe. I encounter enough people yelling and making rude gestures at each other during my morning com­mute to not need to see more of it on television, thank you.

But, to be honest, the real reason I hardly ever watch TV is... I don't know how to. Anymore.

Maybe I'm just stupid, but 1 blame the remotes. Inmy house, there arejust too danged many remotes involved these days.

We have a service that bundles our phone, internet, and television - or rather, "entertainment system" - all into one single-priced entity. This now means that while we technically have the power of the internet right there on our flat screen TV, not to mention streaming movies and TV shows right at our fingertips, it now requires two remotes and a complicated multi-step protocol to turn on and watch our TV. And even then, half the time, things go off-line and my husband Ray has to laboriously pull out all the plugs and re-set eveiy^ing while I stand by making irritated huffing noises.

When it was Just one remote involved, I could deal with it. I fre­quently lost it, but usually was able to find where my husband had "hidden" it on top of Ae television or on the end table next to the couch.

Tw© remotes to keep track of, plus having to hit several buttons in a very specific order? Too much effort for this technophobe.

Part of my problem stems from the fact that, back in the days when I did watch a lot o f TV, there were no remotes. You had to actually get up out of your chair, walk to the 'TV set, and change the channel by hand. The closest thing we got to a remote in my house was the youngest child in the room - me. "Chrissy, get up and change the channel," my dad would say. Then he would say, "OK, now what's ons,chaimel 4? What about channel 5?" His channel surfing was limited to 13 channels,'or until I got sick of changing the chaimel and left the room, whichever came first.

When remotes first came out, they were luxury items. I f you lost the remote, it didn't mean you could not watch television. You simply had to go back to getting up out o f your chair, walking to the TV set, and changing the channel by hand.

Now you no longer have that op­tion. Our current TVdoesn’t even have a manual on-off button as far as I can tell. The only way to turn it on and off

is by the dreaded remote. The silver one, I think. Or maybe it's the black one. Since we can never jfist "turn the TV on" without the multi-step protocol, I couldn't tell you.

1 actually have a list of directions that I. wrote out, describing the dif­ferent remotes and what order to hit which button in. They go something like this: "Point silver remote at lower lefthand box below TV (with no more than two degrees margin of error), and hit big yellow button in top right hand comer of silver remote. Point black remote at black box on middle shelf of TV stand, aiming remote no more than three inches from center point of box, and hit little blue power button on lower right hand section of black remote. Then raise black remote, point it at TV screen at a spot no more than three feet off the floor, and hit big red button located one button down and two to the right of the one marked 'channel.' Go back to silver remote, hit 'cable' button while pointing it at black box on right hand side ofbottom shelf of TV stand, angling remote at precisely 90 degrees to the first box, again with no more than a two degree margin of error.”

If you hit the wrong button at any time, or the even right button but while pointing the remote at the wrong box, or aim the remote with more than a two degree margin of error, the screen will simply flash a message that the "signal has been lost."

That's when I'd like easy directions that read: "1. Put foot through TV screen. 2. Enjoy listing to satisfying 'pop' of unit's death throes. 3. Read a danged book instead."

But two things stop me. One, we paid too much for this "entertain­ment system" for me to put my foot through the flat screen TV. And two, even if I did, since there's no longer a cathode ray tube behind it, its death throes would not include that soul- satisfying "pop."

So I usually end up skipping ahead to step 3, and just read a danged book instead. And usually it's one of the old fashioned paper ones, unless I remembered to charge my e-reader.

And that's the real reason I don't watch much TV.

Excerpts from the West Essex Tribune

40 Years Ago

July 19,1973: After much study, the Board of Education made the decision to close Roosevelt School at the end of the 1973-74 school year, the West Essex Tribune reported on its front page 40 years ago this week. Mon­mouth Court School, located on the same tract of land, would, however, remain open.

In other Board of Education news, Mario D. Pascale had suddenly re­signed as principal of Mt. Pleasant Elementary School.

The Township Council had also met that week. The Council decided to hire a geologist to conduct of study to help determine the best sites to dig new wells. In addition, Mrs. Elaine Koss of 62 Martin Road address the Council members, asking them to do something to increase the safety of pedestrians cross South Livingston Avenue in front of Town Hall.

The new 16-acre Dinosaur Park in Roseland, created following the discovery of well-preserved dinosaur fossils there by Livingston teens several years earlier, was to be placed on the National Registry of Natiaal Landmarks.

In other front page news, a photo, captioned "Another Job Almost Done Right," showed a sign at the interchange of Laurel Avenue and the recently-opened Route 280 warning of'MREGING TRAFFIC."

The Tribune's editor and publisher, William Klaber, discussed "The Roosevelt Decision" in his editorial 40 years ago this week. "We can find little fault with the final decision of the Board of Education on the ultimate fate of Roosevelt School," he wrote. "It comes quite close to the feelings we expressed a short time ago." Of the decision to close the school, he noted, "The fact is... we have passed the peak in our elementary school enrollments. The surveys indicate that by September, 1974, Roosevelt can be abandoned for school pur­poses without overcrowding classes elsewhere. That being the case, there appears to be little justification for spending large sums refurbishing the building." He added, "the comer [on which the school stands], being one of our busiest commercial intersec­

tions, ought to command a good price on the real estate market, and getting a school out of a business center would seem smart to us."

Eli Gorelick, chairman of the Foreign Languages Department at Livingston High School, was named dean of students there by the Board of Education.

Virginia Degelo completed her third and last term as president of the West Essex General Hospital Guild.

The Livingston Blue Cross Circle members were collecting donations of old sheets and men's shirts to make into bandages for patients with Hansen's disease (leprosy). Donations could be left at Schork's Flower Shop, 499 South Livingston Avenue.

A photo showed Sal Quintana of the Livingston American Legion Post 201 donating $150 to the Livingston Fire Department. Fire Chief Charlie Schilling accepted the check for the Fire Department's Benevolence and Welfare Fund.

Boy Scout Troop 16, sponsored by Saint Philomena Church, had four new Eagle Scouts promoted in a recent Court of Honor. Attaining Scouting's highest rank were Gregory Anselmi, son ofMr. and Mrs. Gus Anselmi; Mark Dellosso, son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Dellosso; Charles Dotto, son of Mr. and Mrs, Charles Dotto; and Kenneth Lynch, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Lynch.

Mr. and Mrs. William B. Braun, Jr. of 5 Kingston Drive were sponsoring a MyearoldMohaveIndiangirl through the Save the Children Federation.

The former Potentate of Salaam Shriners' Temple in Livingston, Jacob A. Wingerter, was„ elected impe­rial Potentate of the North American Shriners.

One Livingston birth and two wed­dings were announced in the Tribune this week in 1973. Mr. and Mrs. An­thony Acturi of 3 Bear Brook Lane had a son, Peter Matthew, on July 7.

Patricia Ellen Camuso, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Camuso of 9 Twin Oak Road, became the bride of Paul Russo of Little Falls. James Stanley Case, son ofMr. and Mrs. Stanley Case of 21 Amelia Avenue, exchanged vows with Gail Imarene Trulove of Phoenix, Arizona.

Avoid Heatstroke in People and PetsAs the worst heat wave in more than

20 years hits the tri-state area and tem­peratures forecast to remain above 90 degrees throughout the week, residents are reminded that dangerously high temperahtres can cause sickness. The potential for someone to develop heat- related illness increases significantly with excessive heat. Often referred to as “heatstroke” or “sunstroke,” heat-

■ related illness occurs when a person’s body temperature rises to a danger­ous level. Factors sucli as underlying medical problems, dehydration and medication usage all play a role in heat-related illness.

Those at greatest risk are the elderly, the very young, those with chronic ill­nesses, and pets. In addition, certain medicafions increase one’s risk.

The Essex County Codey Arena is available to the public as a cooling center. It will be open to the public weekdays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday, July 20 and 2 1 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

In Livingston, cooling centers can be found at the Livingston Public Library Mondays through Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m, and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; the Hillside Avenue community center from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; Township Hall from9 a.m. to 10 p.m. and the Livingston Mall from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Tips to prevent heat illness in­clude:

• Air-conditioning is the number one protective factor against heat-related illness and death.

• Drink extra water (fluids) all day and less tea, coffee, cola and alcoholic beverages. Do not wait until you feel thirsty to drink - it may be too late.

• Reduce or schedule outdoor activ­ity for cooler times of the day, before10 a.m. and after 6 p.m.

• During outdoor activities, take frequent breaks and drink plenty of water or other fluids, even if you do not feel thirsty.

• Wear lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting, open-woven clothes.

• Wear a vented hat in the sun to protect yourself from the sun’s rays. Don’t forget sunscreen.

• If you have a chronic medical problem, ask your doctor about how to deal with the heat.

Medications, which increase the risk of developing heat related illness, include but e not'limited to some an­tidepressants, antihistamines (allergy medications), diuretics (water pills), and antipsychotics.

Heat Stroke and SymptomsHeat stroke can kill or cause damage

CREATES FASHION; Morgan Collins of Livingston models the purple nubuck rucksack she cre­ated in a class at the New Jersey School of Fashion Design & Ac­cessories. Collins also created the handbag she carried to the LHS prom. Jennifer Siletskl, a profes­sional handbag designer from Springfield, shared her passion for design with her daughter as they created projects together at home. After a few years, Siletskl decided to offer handbag-making classes in her home for other young people.

to the brain and other internal organs. Although heat stroke mainly affects people over age 50, it also takes a toll on healthy young athletes.

Heat stroke often occurs as a pro­gression from milder heat-related illnesses such as heat cramps, heat syncope (fainting), and heat exhaus­tion. But it can strike even if you have no previous signs of heat injury.

Heat stroke results from prolonged exposure to high temperatures - usu­ally in combination with dehydration - which leads to failure of the body's temperature control system. The medi­cal definition o f heat stroke is a core body temperature greater than 105 de­grees Fahrenheit, with complications involving the central nervous system that occur after exposure to high tem­peratures. Other common symptoms include nausea, seizures, conftision, disorientation, and sometimes,loss of consciousness or coma.

Other symptoms may include throbbing headache; dizziness and light-headedness; lack of sweating despite the heat; red, hot, and dry skin, muscle weakness or cramps; nausea and vomiting, rapid heartbeat, which may be either strong or weak; rapid, shal low breathing; behavioral changes such as conftision, disorientation, or staggering; seizures, unconscious­ness.

First Aid for Heat StrokeIf you suspect that someone has

a heat stroke, immediately call 911 or transport the person to a hospital. Any delay seeking medical help can be fatal.

While waiting for the paramedics to arrive, initiate first aid. Move the person to an air-conditioned envi­ronment - or at least a cool, shady area - and remove any unnecessary clothing.

If possible, take the person's core body temperature and initiate first aid to cool it to 101 to 102 degrees Fahrenheit. You may Jry these cool­ing strategies:

Fan air over the patient while wet­ting his or her skin with water from a sponge or garden hose;

Apply ice packs to the patient's arm- pits, groin, neck, and back. Because these areas are rich with blood vessels close to the skin, cooling them may reduce body temperature;

Immerse the patient in a shower or tub of cool water, or an ice bath.

If an exposure occurs, it is good to know help is just a phone call away. If someone is unconscious, not breathing, seizing/convulsing, bleeding profusely, difficult to arouse/ wake up, etc. call 911 immediately, otherwise call the NJ Poison Center at 800-222-1222.

Protect Your PetThere are also simple steps to help

prevent your pet from taking a trip to the emergency room:

• Avoid physical activity during the heat of the day. Keep exercise to the cooler mornings and evenings.

• Ensure your pet has access to plenty of water throughout the day and during times of exercise.

• Spray your pet down with room temperature or cool water, but never ice water. Ice cold water causes a decrease in blood flow to the skin and

heat cannot escape the body properly, which actually makes heat exhaustion symptoms worse.

• Make sure pets are kept inside of air-conditioned spaces to avoid excess exposure to heat.

• When walking or jogging with your pet, try to avoid asphalt as your pet’spawpadscanbum. Instead, stick to concrete, dirt or grass, as those surfaces are less hot.

• Never leave your pet in a car unat­tended, even with the air conditioning running. If the air conditioning fails, your pet could easily over-heat in as little as a few minutes.

• Don’t give sports drinks or elec­trolyte supplements to pets. Dogs cool off by panting and they do not sweat like people. Supplements like sports drinks can actually harm animals and make pets sick.

Most importantly, be familiar with your pets and know when they are not acting right. Lethargy, vomiting, diar­rhea and dark red gums are all signs of heat related distress. If your pet is panting uncontrollably or collapses, take the animal to a veterinarian or nearest emergency veterinary hospital immediately.

Local Woman Seeks to Raise Awareness o f Autoimmune Disease

foreign by the immune system and eliminated in the spleen, the liver, and by other means. In addition to increased platelet destruction, some people with IIP also have impaired platelet production.

There is no accurate, definitivedest. to diagnose ITP. With few platelets, people with ITP often have bleeding symptoms.

People would understand if 21 year old Meredith Prescott were depressed and withdrawn after she was diagnosed with an autoimmune blood disorder known as ITP.

"This disease (ITP) gets no aware­ness - Yet, it is ten times as common as hemophilia but nobody knows any­thing about it," the young Livingston resident explains.

ITP, immune thrombocytopenia (also known as immune or idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura) is an autoimmune disease. In autoimmune diseases, the body mounts an attack toward one or more seemingly nor­mal organ systems. In ITP, platelets are the target. They are marked as

CONTRIBUTION TO VA HOSPITAL: Jewish War Veterans Post 740 of Livingston recently contributed $1,000 to the East Orange VA Hospital. The funds w.ere the proceeds of the Memorial Day poppy sale. Shown at the presentation are Vice Commander Steve Hoffman; Fran Friedman; Quartermaster Dr. Frederick Friedman Sr.; VA Hospital dirctor Ken Mizrahi and Junior Vice Commander Joel Lebowitz.

Meredith Prescottdisease. "Pump It Up For Platelets ~ For a World Free o f ITP" will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

"This will be the first big event in the tristate area," Prescott said, report­ing enthusiastically that the group had already raised more than $ 10,000 for PDSA (Platelet Disorders Support Association), the sole organization that supports ITP patients.

Prescott explains, "The main op­tions of treatment are splenectomy, chemotherapy, steroids, and new orphan drugs called promacta and nplate. All have serious side effects and repercussions and for some, noth­ing works."

The disease has no cure and can return years after patients have been in remission. No cases are the same and there are more questions than answers, Prescott reports. "There is no explanation for why this happens as every case is so different and it can come on at any age. The disease is not endemic to any specific ethnic group.

"The intention of the walk is to spread awareness, to raise money, and for patients to feel not alone, let them share stories if they come and they want to. Many have contacted me from all over the country and world after my blog post. They, told me how alone they feel and how they feel that that nobody understands what they are going through." Prescott explains.

"Imagine a child going through a disease no one has ever heard of and then being told they cannot play contact sports with any of their friends - no soccier, basketball - nothing. Imagine spending holidays in and out of hospitals. Some I spoke to were homeschooled for weeks as they missed over a month of school due to treatments."

She added, "Awareness is so neces­sary as people are fighting for their lives and scared they are going to bleed to death from ITP; yet almost nobody knows anything about it. Then the doctors give you all different an­swers; opinions are difficult because the research is lacking."

Prescott said, "Alan Karpas and the Town Council have been extremely helpful and I am proud to be a resident of Livingston."

She concluded, "I have an amazing family and friends and would not be where I am today without them as a support system. That is so crucial when dealing with something as dif­ficult as this. I tell people never to stop smiling and never give in."

Medical Travel Tips For Senior Citizens

Ask anyone what they envision doing most in their retirement, and chances are travel will be at the top of their list. For those who have already retired, traveling is a luxury many no doubt look forward to.

Seniors about to take to the road, how­ever, should consider the following tips before heading off to parts unknown.

• Pack medications in your carry-

on. Prescription medications should be packed in your carry-on whenever traveling to prevent losing vital medica­tions should your checked bags be lost during your travels.

* Consult with your physician and create a list of past and current conditions and any medications. In the unfortunate event you lose any of your medication or fall ill during your travels, a list of all current and past conditions and medica­tions can help the physician who will be treating you better understand you and your medical history. Be sure to inform any traveling companions about this list, and keep it on you at all times when traveling.

• Figure out time zones and a medi­cation schedule ahead of time. When

traveling to different time zones, it can be difficult to adhere to a medication schedule. Before leaving, work out a new schedule that takes into account the different time zones you will be visiting during your travels.

• Be sure your vaccinations are up to date. Certain countries mandate your vaccinations are up to date before you can enter the country, and some require vaccinations be administered as early as 6 weeks before your visit. Be sure all vaccinations are updated in adherence to the guidelines of any country you will be visiting.

• Remain hydrated. Planes often have dry air, which can cause dehydration and

, muscle aches. So be sure to drink plenty of water to guard against dehydration.

Walter LeVine, director of the Liv­ingston Consumer Affairs Office, has issued the following release on how to avoid being a victim of fraud.

What to DoKnow who you’re dealing with: Try

to find a seller’s physical address (not a P.O. Box) and phone number. With internet phone services and other web- based technologies, it’s toygh to tell

. where someone iscalling from. Do an on-line search forthc company name and website, and look for reviews. If people report negative experiences, you’ll have to decide if the offer is worth the risk. After all, a deal is good only if you get a product that actually works as promised.

Know that wiring money is like sending cash: Con artists often insist that people wire money, especially overseas, because it’s nearly impos­sible to reverse the transaction or trace the money. Don’t wire money to strangers, to sellers who insist on wire transfers for payment, or to anyone who claims to be a relative or friend in an emergency and wants to keep the request a secret.

Read your monthly statements. Scammers steal account information and then run up charges or commit crimes in your name. Dishonest mer­chants bill you for monthly “member­ship fees” and other goods or services without your authori zat ion. 1 fyou see charges you don’t recognize or didn’t okay, contact your bank, card issuer, or other creditor immediately.

After a disaster, give only to es­tablished charities: In the aftermath of a disaster, give to an established charity, rather than one that has sprung up overnight. Pop-up charities prob­ably don’t have the infrastructure to get help to the affected areas or people, and they could be collecting the money to finance illegal activity. For more donating tips, check out ftc. gov/charityfraud.

Talk to your doctor before you buy health products or treatments: Ask about research that supports a product’s claims and possible risks or side effects. In addition, buy prescrip­tion drugs only from licensed U.S. pharmacies. Otherwise, you could end up with products that are fake, expired, or mislabeled - in short, products that could be dangerous to your health. Learn more about buying health products on-line.

Remember there’s no sure thing

O N TH E T O M S RIVER Exit 81 G S P

in investing: If someone contacts, you with low-risk, high-return investment opportunities, stay away. When you hear pitches that insist you act now, that guarantee big profits, that promise little or no financial risk, or that demand that you send cash immediately, report them at ftc.gov.

W hat Not to DoDon’t send money to someone you

don’t know: Not to an on-line seller you’ve never heard of or an on-line love interest who asks for money. It’s best to do business with sites you know „ and trust. If you buy items through an on-line auctipn, consider using a pay­ment option that provides protection, like a credit card. If you think you’ve found'a good deal, but you aren’t fa­miliar with the company, check it out. Type the company or product name into your favorite search engine with terms like “review,” “complaint,” or “scam.” See what comes up ofi the first page of results as well as on the later pages.

. Never pay fees first for the promise of a big pay-off later - whether it’s for a loan, a job, a grant or a so-called prize.

Don’t agree to deposit a check and wire money back: By law, banks have to make funds from deposited checks available within days, but uncovering a fake check can take weeks. You’re responsi ble for the checks you deposit:If a check turns out to be a fake, you’re responsible for paying back the bank. No matter how convincing the story, someone who overpays with a check is alrriost certainly a scam artist.

Don’t reply to messages asking for personal or financial information: It doesn't matter whether the message comes as an e-mail, a phone call, a text message, or an ad. Don’t click on links or call phone numbers included in the message, either. It’s called phishing.

The crooks behind these messages are trying to trick you into revealing sensitive infomiation. I tyou got a mes­sage like this and you are concerned about your account status, call the number on your credit or debit card or your statement and check on it.

Don’t play a foreign lottery: It’s illegal to play a foreign lottery. And yet messages that tout your chances of winning a foreign lottery, or messages that claim you’ve already won, can be tempting. Inevitably, you have to pay “taxes,” “fees,” or “customs duties” to collect your prize. If you must send money to collect, you haven’t won anything. And if you send any money, you will lose it.

You won’t get any money back, either, regardless of promises or guar­antees.

Report Scamsif you think you may have been

scammed: Report this to the Director of Livingston’s Consumer Affairs Of­fice, so he can investigate it and alert other residents. File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission

at https://www.ftccomplaintassis- tant.gov/.

Ellen Winter has maintained a garden at her home at 55 Brook- side Avenue since moving there in 1977. She has extensive plantings of flowers in the front, including daisies, cone flowers, and crocus mia. In the backyard are hydrangea, cape myrtle, and day lilies, along with wisteria and a smail magnolia tree. The back garden also features a fish pond with a bubbling fountain. CKS Photos

How Does Your G arden G row ?The W inter Family

55 Brookside AvenueEllen Winter has had a garden at her

home in Livingston ever since she and her husband, Jim, moved in shortly after their wedding in 1977. "But this year, I guess because of all the rain, it has really, really taken off," she notes,

Back in '77, the Winters had ever­green bushes aloirg the front of the house. But after the birth o f their chil­dren, Amanda and Adam, Jim pulled out the bushes. They were replaced with flowers and a paved walkway on which the kids rode their bikes. The next step was removal of the blacktop and the installation of a proper flower garden

instead. "Perennials, mostly," says Ellen. "1 wanted things that would bloom every year without requiring a lot of upkeep." She added to the front garden over the years, but this year, "it has really filled out." Helping the process along have been birds, Ellen notes. She had initially planted purple cone flowers to attract finches, and the birds, in turn, have helped seed the cone flowers all over the garden. "They have spread quite a bit."

.Today, in addition to the cone flowers, the front garden features butterfly bushes, black-eyed Susans, white daisies, day lilies, and crocus mia - an African grass that produces delicate but vibrant red blossoms. The entryway is flanked by a smoke tree, which produces feathery, "cloudy" looking blooms, on one side, and a burning bush on the other (no prophetic messages have been heard from it, however).

The first thing planted in the back­yard during Ellen's early gardening career were vegetables. However, the tomatoes posed an unexpected problem: J'We had tons of them, and they weren't ready until after the kids were out of camp. Then all of a sud­

den. I'm stuck having to can them, cook them, preserve them, make them into sauce - instead of relaxing and having fun with the kids." After that, it's been flowers all the way.

Ellen laughs that, "Jim used to come home from work and ask me where the lawn had gone - because I'd dug more and more of it to make into garden."

The backyard features a variety of flowers and trees, planted in clusters around the edges. On one side, there's a little magnolia tree, which has grown two feet since being planted just last year and has produced one single bloom, years before Ellen expected any flowers. Blue hydran­gea accent one comer, while there is another hydrangea whose blooms start out a delicate purple and then grow into a deep, rich indigo. Day lilies span the color spectrum, from burgundy and pink to yellow, or­ange, and terra-cotta. The collection also includes white star-gazer lilies and black-eyed lilies, which, Ellen explains, have dark centers, "These are great because when they bloom.

you can split them into more and more plants."

Where once there had been a sand box for the children, there is now a small fish pond, complete with a gurgling fountain and a school of goldfish. Both Ellen and Jim have seen a heron visiting the site, but the avian guest made itself unwelcome by chowing down on some of the goldfish. "1 remember looking out one morning, and seeing this giant bird at the pond. 1 thought it was a nice thing, until it turned and 1 noticed a fish hanging out o f its enormous beak." She ran out to shoo the bird, but was too late: it had already taken off with its breakfast. "After that, we installed a screen over the top of the pond and a koi cave inside it for the fish to hide in, just in case the heron comes back." The fish live in the pond spring, summer and fall; Jim brings them into the basement for the winter.

Many of the flowers in the Winters' garden are very meaningful to Ellen, who has for years been asking for dif­ferent things to plant on gift-giving

occasions. These include the wisteria, which Ellen received as a sapling and prunes studiously to keep it in shape. Although it's done blooming for the year, it stands sentinel over a riot o f other, shorter blooming plants that surround it. Then there are the two cape myrtle bushes she brought back from Buford, South Carolina-a memento of a visit to her son while he was stationed at Parris Island (a former Marine, he is now working in Afghanistan as a contractor).

What has already bloomed, besides the wisteria? The lilac and the pussy willow. Still to come are the m,arsh- mallow bush, which will produce big, red and white saucer-like flowers, and the cape myrtle, which will burst with fuscia blooms at summer's end.

Although she hasn't done much in tjie garden very recently because of the heat, Ellen does love losing herself in

it. "I lose track of time just puttering, dead-heading, watering, pulling up a weed here or there," she says. "I'll think I'm out there for just few minutes, and it's actually more like an hour. It's very relaxing."

Restored ”Star Trek” Galileo Will Be Donated to Space Center in Houston

One year age, Livingston resident Adam Schneider committed torestor- ing Star Trek's Galileo shuttlecraft, a life-size spaceship prop from TV’s original "Star Trek" series. This was an admirable undertaking since the sci-fi prop had been nearly destroyed - Not by angry aliens, harsh planetary condi­tions or mechanical malfunction, but by light years of exposure to earthly elements and general lack of care.

An unveiling of the restored prop was recently held at Master Ship­wrights in Atlantic Highlands, Sch­neider and his wife, Leslie, presented the finished piece to friends, family and members of the media, as well as Star Trek fans.

"Our plan was always to restore and then donate Galileo. Leslie and I are proud to announce the Galileo is being donated to Space Center Houston, the Visitor Center for NASA, to inspire future generations of dreamers and explorers. She will be on display after

the dedication, scheduled for July 3 1, 2013," said Schneider, who purchased the craft at an auction,

Schneider said that the Galileo was built during the first season of the popular television series. The full sized set piece made its screen debut in 1967.

"Galileo was a vehicle used to put the crew in danger and was featured in many episodes, and destroyed over and over! The piece was not usedjor filming after 1969," said Schneidef.

Before going up for auction, the prop was reportedly in storage in Ohio for two decades. At .some point it had been left outside, Schneider has said.

The exterior repairs needed were extensive. The entire shuttle needed to be rebuilt around its frame. It took time and energy to find someone who was up to the job. In the end, Schneider decided to go with Mas­ter Shipwrights, antique and classic

wooden boat designers, in Atlantic Highlands. Owner Hans Mikaitis and his team were used to working with both wood and metal, so Schneider thought that they were the best people to take on the job. -

Judging by the "after" photos, he was correct. The 22 foot by 14 foot prop has been officially restored to its original sci-fi glory.

An avid "Star Trek" collector, Sch­neider has acquired many miniatures used on-screen, as well as many larger pieces from the popular television show over the years. The Galileo, however, is one that he thought should be exhibited for the public and Star Trek fans to enjoy.

The Galileo will be on display at Space Center Houston this summer, beginning on July 31, Visit www. spacecenter.org. for more information or for more information on the Galileo Restoration, visit GalileoRestoration. com or the Galileo Restoration page on Facebook.

For the Dodgers, it was a satisfying win over the rivals who were last season's play-off champions. For pitcher A1 Lombardi, it was a record-setting fifth consecutive shut-out,

Lombardi, a past season Cy Young Award winner, has compiled some impressive statistics this season. Coupled with his record-setting shut­out against the Mariners is the fact that he has allowed just three runs in 38 innings with 46 strike-outs and only 11 walks. His consecutive shut-out innings are now at 35.

The Dodgers, who lead the Mid­week U.S.O.T, Baseball League with a 7-0 slate, got all the runs Lombardi would need in the first inning. Mike Moretti ted off with a single. He stole

In 2009, Balias launched the project, which has since raised more than $45,000 to assist individuals and families coping with life-limiting illnesses. "And the public has turned out time and time again to support our efforts by donating comics and attend­ing the sale."

’Many insurance companies offer a rangeofdiscountsthatvaryby state. Be sure to ask the agent about the availabil­ity and amount of any discounts offered by the insurer. Here are some common discounts you should know about:

• Multiple line: Your premiums may be reduced if you have more than one policy with the same company or family of companies that covers your car.

• Good student: Full time students (high school or higher) maintaining at least a "B" average may qualify for reduced premiums.

• Multiple car: Your premiums may be reduced if there are two or more private passenger cars in the household insured by the same company or family of companies.

These are just a few of the discounts that may save you money. Once you have considered price, think about the quality of service you expect. The best value should save you both time and money. Here are few things to consider:

• Do you have one person to call when you need help?

• Is the insurer available to discuss your needs and help customize a pack­age of services that is best for you and your family?

• Do you feel confident in the insurer's financial stability and ability to pay if your family suffers a loss?

Be sure you're getting the most value foryour time and money. Call your agent

or insurance company today and ask if you can get,more value by having all your insurance needs taken care of in one place.

Zachary Bonvini, a student at Livingston High School, recently received the Young Leadership Award from Waves of Health, a non-profit medical outreach organization. He was presented with the honor at the organization's annual benefit dinner, which was held at Hanover Manor in

Bonvini Recognized Dominican Republic

East Hanover.Zachary, who will be a senior at

LHS this fall, traveled with Waves of Health on a week-long medical mission to Dajabon in the Dominican Republic. The province is located on the Haitian border.

While on the island, Zachary worked

directly wjth medical professionals to provide medical and pharmacy care to under-served people in the Dominican frontier.

His duties included "triaging" pa­tients by taking their height, weight and blood pressures, prior to them being checked out ,by the doctors. In addition, he helped to set up ex­amination rooms, hauling equipment from vehicles to buildings and back again.

th is trip marked Zachary's very first medical mission. His father, Marcello Bonvini, attended the trip, as well. The trip was Marcello's fifth to the area. As a volunteer, Marcello provides IT support to the outreach organization.

Zachary says that his trip taught him many things, most importantly, how big a diffetence a few people can make in other people's lives.

Since 2007, the Waves of Health has provided bi-yearly service to com­munities in the Dominican Republic. All ofits services are one hundred per cent donated. Livingston resident Dr. Chris Boni serves as the organization's president. For more information on the organization, visit its website at TheWavesOfHealth.org.
