Box 538 Blairstown NJ 07825 RE/MAX Ridge Delivers Toys For Tots BLAIRSTOWN, NJ - Last month, RE/MAX Ridge Real Estate delivered to the US Marines the bounty from this year’s Toys For Tots Christmas collection drive. The agents of RE/MAX Ridge Real Estate from both the Blairstown and Washington offices left no stone unturned in their efforts… including collecting toys from their circles of clients, family and friends. Thanks to the heart-felt generosity of the community, carloads of toys made their way to Picattiny Arsenal from the RE/MAX Ridge offices. Picattiny Arsenal is one of the main distribution venues for this wonderful US Marine Corps charity. RE/MAX Ridge also hosted an earlyDecember holiday party in their Blairstown office with a theme of ‘Bring Santa A Toy’. xxGail Masson-Romano, Broker-Owner of RE/MAX Ridge explained, “Santa, The Grinch, Mrs Claus, Santa’s Elves, Frosty and Rudolph and other costumed RE/MAX Ridge agents greeted area children and parents alike to our holiday party. We suggested to the parents that they ask their children to help Santa this Christmas… by bringing him a toy. ‘By helping Santa to fill up his sleigh with toys he would visit every home and leave presents for every child.’ The response from the community was overwhelming and, as a result, we received many more gifts for our Toys For Tots program… and the parents captured on camera the true ‘joy of giving’ as only a child can express.” “RE/MAX Ridge is honored to be a part of this charitable endeavor and we look forward with enthusiasm to next year’s Toys For Tots drive. We wish to thank all those who so generously contributed toys this year… bringing a little more joy into the world through so many children’s hearts.” RE/MAX Ridge offices are located in Blairstown at 8 Main Street and in Washington at 325 W Washington Avenue.

The Blue Star Highway designation was started in 1944 by members of the NJ State Council of Garden Clubs. The first highway so designated was Route 22 between Mountainside and North Plainfield which was planted with beautiful dogwood trees. It was to be a living tribute to the armed forces who helped to defend the United States. Since then there have been many additions to the Blue Star Memorial Highways and By-Ways. Warren Garden Club has made it one of their continuing projects to maintain a perennial flower bed at the rest stop. Shown in the photo (L to R) are Dottie Razawich of Washington and Carol Jones of Stewartsville. Oroho, Space Introduce Legislation Establishing “Senator Robert E. Littell Memorial Highway” District 24 legislators Senator Steve Oroho and Assemblyman Parker Space announced today they have introduced legislation to rename State Highway Rte 15 in Sussex County in honor of the late Senator Robert E. Littell. Under the identical bills (S-2656/A-4042), the Sussex County portion of Rte 15 would be designated the “Senator Robert E. Littell Memorial Highway” in honor of the late District 24 legislator and Sussex County native who served in the state Assembly and Senate for 40 yrs. Upon his retirement in 2008 he was the longest serving member of the legislature, assisted in opening two centers for child abuse victims and sponsored legislation that led to the creation of the Commission on Open Space, the formation of the Garden State Preservation Trust, the preservation of Sterling Forest, and the establishment of the Farmland Preservation Program. “Senator Littell was a remarkable man who PHOTO: The RE/MAX Ridge Real EstateTeam just before loading The Toys For Tots for earned the respect of all he met through his Delivery to the Marines at Picatinny Arsenal.

Chiropractic care is the one form of health care that keeps on giving. Chiropractic care certainly helps people to recover from short-term health problems, but this powerful method of healing also helps people stay well and assists in preventing new problems from developing. Your chiropractor treats a wide variety of musculoskeletal problems. Neck pain, back pain, pain that travels from the neck to the arm and hand, pain that travels from the back to the leg and foot, headaches, and muscle spasms are conditions commonly treated. Your chiropractor also treats many types of exercise and sports-related injuries, such as rotator cuff injuries, tennis elbow, wrist sprains, knee injuries, ankle sprains, and shin splints. Repetitive stress injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome are also treated using chiropractic care. It is also known that by taking care of the central nerve system through chiropractic care, there may be valuable benefits to We Buy Gold & Diamonds the treatment for sleep disorders, digestive problems, menstrual cramps, asthma, and various allergies. Chiropractic care may also be of great assistance during pregnancy, in helping to relieve neck pain and back pain and to ease the process of delivery. Chiropractic care can be beneficial for so many health problems owing to the fact that chiropractic care directly affects the functioning of your nerve system. Your nerve system, consisting of your brain, spinal cord, and nerves that branch out to the rest of your body, is your master physiologic system. Your nerve system controls all the other systems by sending signals to every cell, tissue, and organ in your body. Your heart relies on the nerve system so that it can pump blood at the right time and in the right amount. Your small intestine relies on the nerve system so that it can complete the digestion of food succeeded Senator Littell as the state Senate representative in the 24th District. “Remarkably, through his years in Trenton he maintained a humble nature and never strayed from his priority of personally responding to the concerns of those in the neighborhoods he represented. ‘Bob,’ as he preferred to be called, was a loving husband and father and a personal friend and mentor to me and many others. Renaming this highway in his honor is a fitting tribute to a man who has left such an important and lasting legacy in NJ, especially Sussex County.” “Senator Littell was dedicated not only to the constituents he represented, but all of New Jersey,” said Space. “His commitment to public service is an example to everyone that you can make a difference. Senator Littell loved his family and this great state. We can never truly thank him for his many contributions to New Jersey, but seeing his name on Rt. 15 will always remind us of someone who cared deeply about our state.” and transmit usable nutrients to the bloodstream. Your white blood cells and other immune system agents rely on the nerve system so that they can quickly identify and destroy foreign invaders such as bacteria and viruses. But your nerve system can break down, in a sense, if spinal nerve interference is present. Such nerve interference, from the irritation and inflammation of spinal nerves, is caused by loss of full mobility of spinal vertebras. Limited spinal motion irritates the muscles that move the spinal bones and the ligaments that hold those bones together. Inflamed spinal muscles and spinal ligaments cause spinal nerve inflammation. The immediate result is distortion in the quality and flow of information sent from the brain to the rest of the body. Too much or too little information is sent to the cells, tissues, and organs. The messages they receive are the wrong messages, or the messages arrive at the wrong time. The outcome is decreased functioning and/or inappropriate functioning of many other physiologic systems. Thus, spinal nerve interference is one of the primary causes of the many health challenges and problems that may bring a person to seek chiropractic care. Chiropractic care helps reduce and remove nerve interference by restoring increased functioning of your spinal column. The direct result is improved overall functioning of the rest of your body. By directly focusing on your spine and nerve system, your chiropractor can help restore quality of life and overall health and well-being. Chiropractic Care Is Comprehensive Care Following a complete evaluation, which includes a health history and physical examination, your chiropractor will design a care plan that will help get to the root of your pain and health challenge and help you meet your specific health needs. Your care plan will include chiropractic care focusing on improving function of your spinal column and relieving your pain. Your care plan will likely include additional recommendations, such as stretches, exercises, and information on healthy nutritional planning and/or whole food supplements that can support your health regiment. Your chiropractic care plan may include strategies for reducing stress and obtaining proper rest along with other recommendations to support your recovery. Chiropractors are well known for their ability to treat musculoskeletal problems such as neck pain, back pain, and headaches and to focuses on the nerve system. In addition, as holistic practitioners, chiropractors have expertise in many other areas of health care, including nutrition, fitness, kinesiology, immune function and overall health. A chiropractor may be just what’s needed for you to benefit in overall health and well being.

A - Usually not, however, there is one type of mulch, called cocoa mulch, that is toxic because it does contain some of the toxic compounds in chocolate. Q - I can’t get my dog to stop digging — help! A-The desire to dig is very strong, especially in terrier breeds (the name means “earth dog”). Rather than try to extinguish the behavior, it is much better to simply offer an area that is OK to dig in. Provide a pile of dirt and when your dog digs, reprimand him but then bring him to the acceptable area and praise him for digging there. You both will be much happier. Q - My cat often eats and vomits but seems fine otherwise. Why does she do that? A - You should first have Q and A After coming in from the bitter cold outside, Liller said, “Brrr! It sure is freezing out there!!” Chloe answered, “Yeah, Spring is so far away! I wish we could hibernate like our outdoor friends the squirrels and groundhogs and wake up when it is here again!! Wouldn’t that be great Liller?” Liller replied, “I don’t know about that! If we were hibernating we would miss all of Mom’s great cooking! I can’t do that! I love to eat, I never miss a meal!” Chloe looked longingly over at dinner cooking on the stove and thought a minute. She sniffed the delicious aroma and said, “I know what you mean. Dinner smells wonderful! I can’t wait! I don’t want to miss any meals either!” Liller replied, “See, we’d never last the whole Winter with no food! Besides, I can’t sleep if I’m hungry!” Chloe said, “Me either! Looks like we’ll have to skip hibernating and just wait for Spring to come the old-fashioned way!” Then she thought for a minute or two, brightened and said, “I got it! I know what we can do!” Liller asked, “What? What Chloe? What did you figure out?” Chloe smiled at her as she explained, “We can eat Mom’s yummy dinners everyday and then hibernate every night til Spring comes! That way we won’t miss any meals! What do you think of that?” Liller just looked at her for a moment, then she jumped around excitedly saying, “Awesome idea Chloe! We’ll start hibernating tonight right after dinner!” And that’s just what they did! Nobody I Hibernate, know! And certainly Smibernate! not me! Dinner’s Chloe Rose Who in their ri Lillerbell ready!

Lillerbell & her sister Chloe Rose were so excited with all the snow, but now that Santa is gone they are tired of the cold . What’s a doggie to do when they just can’t wait for Spring??!! your cat examined to make sure she does not have a physical problem. Many things can cause vomiting. However, if everything is OK, it could be a behavior issue. Wild cats (like lions and tigers) will hunt and then gorge on the prey. They then will go back to a safe place, vomit it up and eat it again. Some behaviorists think this is where the “eat and vomit” cycle comes from. Q - I have a lot of stray cats hanging around my house. Is there a way I can get them spayed and neutered so they won’t keep having more kittens? A - There used to be a state feral cat program, which unfortunately has succumbed to the big budget cuts. You can try contacting local rescue groups which sometimes can help with funding. If you can trap the cats, we would be happy to spay/neuter them on short notice and can use dissolvable sutures so they don’t need to come back. Nurse Chloe Rose is here to help! Q - My dog lives outside how can I keep him comfortable in the winter? A - You need to make sure he has adequate shelter. It should be small enough that he can conserve body heat and protected from wind and rain getting in. You need a heated water bucket or check the water frequently to prevent it from freezing. He may need extra food because he will burn more calories staying warm. If it is going to be particularly bitter, you may want to bring him in, even if it’s into a mudroom or garage. And remember that most dogs are companion animals and would rather be with you than out by themselves. * For more Q&A, visit our website at www.blairstownanimal hospital.com The contents of the * Ask a Vet page is for informational purposes only and is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Today’s Subject: Your Brand New PC Your brand new computer, just out of the box, and ready to be turned on for the 1st time. Stop! Do not turn it on, not until till you read and understand this article. Your brand new computer, from Dell, HP, Gateway, Acer, EMachines, Lenovo, Panasonic, Sony, Toshiba, and ALL the other ones out there have “bloatware” on them. This “bloatware” is not viruses, or spyware, it is simply the garbage trial versions of dozens of software these companies are paid to put into your computer. One of the reasons computers are so inexpensive to buy, is the companies that pay them to put this unneeded garbage on your computer makes them 100% profit to the companies you bought them from. These programs also are set to run in your computers start up, which means these must load every time you start your brand new computer. There is a program called “The PC Decrapifier” Free to download and use to rid your computer of ‘bloatware’ and trial programs. You can download it here: http://pcdecrapifier.com/download. This is web site for Features of it and how to use it: http://pcdecrapifier.com/features. This is only step one to have a clean, well running NEW computer from out of the box. Next (before you turn it on) decide what you want your username to be, and what password you will use. Now, this has TWO versions. If you have a Windows 8 Computer you must have, will not let you go on till you have, a windows live ID. Then you will have to use that and your windows live id password. (then you even want or need a password. I have seen Owner, Administrator, Person’s Name (your name), Puter, it can be ANYTHING YOU want and can deal with seeing as “Puter’s Documents” for the life of your computer. IF you are the only person in the house, and you never take the computer anywhere, I see no reason for a password, if you use a password – WRITE IT DOWN – for you will forget, we all have then you can’t get into your computer. All passwords are case sensitive, user names are not. Now, that you have decided on your password, you have located, or downloaded to a flash drive the bloatware removal software, or aware of it, you can now turn it on. Once your main screen is up, check the Security Software that is installed on the machine. Most companies have “Norton, or McAfee” preinstalled “free for one year” or trial version on your computer. These are also been paid by Norton and McAfee to be put on your computer, they are PAID to sell these horrible anti-viruses to you and put on your machine. A quote from Bob Rankin (famous tech writer) “the trial versions of Norton or McAfee that come preinstalled on new PCs are overpriced resource hogs. In fact, you don't need to pay for anti-virus software at all! “ End quote If it is Norton, you must download Norton Removal Tool to get rid of it, otherwise it will have remints all over your brand new computer. You can download the removal tool here: http://tinyurl.com/9xesoyd . It takes a while, and will call for a re-boot when it is done, Internet Explorer will automatically open to Norton and ask you to now reinstall, don’t do it, just close the site. It is the same for McAfee, you can download the removal tool here: http://tinyurl.com/yl23w5, again it takes a while, and will call for a re-boot when it is done, Internet Explorer will automatically open to McAfee and ask you to now reinstall, don’t do it. Prior article on FREE, good, worthwhile antivirus downloads will give more depth, but my person US/windows/security-essentials-download . I also recommend that you download two free utility programs, One called C-Cleaner, which you can download at http://ccleaner.com, run this once a week to keep trash off your computer, read all about what and how it cleans on the web site, for that could be another article in its self, the Second One is called MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, (which you can get at http://malwarebytes.org) or MBAM for short. Run MBAM once a month or so, just in case your anti-virus program misses something. No security software is perfect, so a second look with an on-demand scanner like MBAM will help to keep you safe. Take inventory of what is on your computer, the best thing for this is Belarc Advisor, you can download FREE, http://www.belarc.com/free_download.ht ml, this can help you diagnose future problems, get better tech support, and possibly save you untold grief and piles of money, See, if you run it now, when the computer is new and undisturbed with untold things later, or it doesn’t boot up, you have all the information printed out at your fingertips. Keep your computer up to date. Even brand new, out of the box, there are updates, there are updates from Microsoft every month, and no one really knows how long that computer was sitting on a shelf waiting for you, its new owner. These updates are NOT optional, it helps keep your computer safe and operating correctly. Finally, BUT NOT LEAST, very important, find a way to make your back up, restore disk. Computers no longer come with a “restore disk” and you have to make your own. If you don’t, you’re the one that will be looking for a Windows Operating System Disk or having to buy another expensive one from Microsoft. As time goes on, and you acquire files, pictures, and projects, you will need also a way to back them up, for no one know what the future brings for you and your new computer, and fortune always blesses PAL - Pet Adoption League PRINCESS NEEDS HELP WITH HER SURGERY …. PRINCESS is a sweet little dog that was going to be euthanized because her owner could not afford the emergency surgery she required for her severely infected uterus. The condition is called pyometra, usually caused because the female has never been spayed. We did not hesitate to take her in when the vet contacted us about Princess’ situation and we went ahead with the surgery so that her life would be saved, but because we are a small rescue group and do not have the funds to cover the cost of this surgery we are asking for your help.

Princess sends a huge “thank you” to those who have already donated to her surgery costs and hopes that others can help. She is now out of the hospital and recovering in a foster home.

The fantastic patterns in nature and of nature have become apparent to the kids through the education workshops at the sanctuary. By exploring outdoors through all of the seasons, they are getting a personal experience of the changes that take place around them. For example, as they venture out to the woods and pass the vernal pool, they notice when it is frozen, dried up or filled with water. Their curiosity invites them to learn about the plants and animals that depend on these areas for survival. It is through this intimate hands-on experience that the kids 2 3 grasp the importance of conservation, protecting the environment and the critters within it. A lifelong connection is formed and the children develop a love for nature and a desire to protect it. If your child would like to be part of the fun or for more information on the Discover Nature children’s workshops at Antler Ridge, please contact Nicole Rose at [email protected] or check out http://www.natureexplore.org/certified/Disc overNature.cfm ARWS is a 501©3 non-profit organization supported exclusively by public donations and grants. Their staff of experienced volunteers provides immediate care for animals 7 days a week, all year round.

Wirths of the Department of Labor and Workforce Development loaded dozens of Christmas hams into cars and trucks outside a local supermarket to help the Sussex Help Center package donated holiday dinners and gifts for over 150 families. The packaged dinners, which will include canned foods and dry goods, are being packaged by volunteers at the United Methodist Church on Bank Street in Sussex. The goodies will be handed out at the church to needy families tomorrow, Saturday, Dec. 20, in time for the holiday. Everything was donated and made possible through the generosity of residents, businesses and local organizations throughout Sussex County. Commissioner Wirths joined the effort with his family, church leaders, members of the com- munity and students from local schools. Each holiday season, cabinet officials in the Christie Administration are active in a variety of charitable efforts, spending time volunteering and highlighting service opportunities through the end of December as part of the "Season of Service" initiative launched four years ago. This month, cabinet officials are particularly focused on services provided to individuals recovering from addiction. xxThe Sussex Help Center, where Commissioner Wirths and his family traditionally volunteer their time, provides a variety of programs to needy Sussex and Wantage residents. Located in a storefront on Main Street in Sussex Borough, the center is funded through private donations from individuals, businesses and churches. The charity receives no federal, state or government assistance. The center accepts nonperishable food donations, including canned vegetables, canned meals and fruit, gelatin, pudding, soup, sandwich spread, peanut butter, jelly, tuna fish, mayonnaise, canned meat, macaroni, spaghetti, sauce, rice, tea bags, powdered milk, and sugar-free food for diabetics. To find out more information about donating to the Sussex Help Center or if you know a family in need, please call (973) 7021922. PHOTO LEFT: Labor Commissioner Harold J.

A buffet supper will be available; however, seating is limited to 55 participants. It will be held in the Community Room of the First Presbyterian Church, 54 High St, Newton, NJ.

Pre-registration is required by calling Family Partners Outreach Coordinator, Cheire Lozaw at 973-940-3194, or emailing clozaw@family partnersms.org. The Training Workshop will begin with an overview by a panel of experts on how to access the treatment and support services available to Sussex County residents, how to advocate effectively for legislation and funding necessary to maintain and improve those services, as well as to raise public awareness of the challenges faced by individuals and families affected by mental illness. Guest panelists will include Phil Lubitz, Associate Director of NAMI NJ (National Alliance on Mental Illness); Ann Wright, Director of COMHCO (Coalition of Mental Health Consumers Organizations); Elizabeth Manley, Director of the NJ Children's System of Care; and Debra Koss, M.D., past chair of the Sussex County Mental Health Board and past president of the NJ Council of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.

The experts, assisted by members of the Sussex County Mental Health Board, will guide their group's discussion about issues and needs and provide advocacy strategies and resources. Workgroup participants will learn not only how to advocate with legislators and policy makers, but how to advocate within systems, including mental health treatment facilities, workplaces, schools, health insurance agencies, etc. Those who register to participate in the Advocacy Training Workshop can find metered parking along Church St or High St or in Newton Parking Lot #2 across from the Post Office on Main St. There is also free parking available in the Sussex County Courthouse parking garage across High St from the First Presbyterian Church.

The official release date was September 21st and is available now exclusively at www. garyvanscyoc .com PHOTO: Featured above is Gary Van Scyoc’s new Solo CD ”Pop Goes the Elephant” released on Sept 21st, 2014. District 24 legislators Senator Steve Oroho and Assemblyman Parker Space announced today they have introduced legislation to rename State Hwy Rte 15 in Sussex County in honor of the late Senator Robert E. Littell. Under the identical bills (S-2656/A-4042), the Sussex County portion of Rte 15 would be designated the “Senator Robert E. Littell Memorial Highway” in honor of the late District 24 legislator and Sussex County native who served in the state Assembly and Senate for 40 yrs. Upon his retirement in 2008 he was the longest serving member of the legislature, assisted in opening two centers for child abuse victims and sponsored legislation that led to the creation of the Commission on Open Space, the formation of the Garden State Preservation Trust, the preservation of Sterling Forest, and the establishment of the Farmland Preservation Program. “Senator Littell was a remarkable man who earned the respect of all he met through his kindness, fairness and dedication to bettering the lives of all New Jerseyans,” said Oroho, who succeeded Senator Littell as the state Senate representative in the 24th District. “Remarkably, through his years in Trenton he maintained a humble nature and never strayed from his priority of personally responding to the concerns of those in the neighborhoods he represented. ‘Bob,’ as he preferred to be called, was a loving husband and father and a personal friend and mentor to me and many others. Renaming this highway in his honor is a fitting tribute to a man who has left such an important and lasting legacy in NJ, especially Sussex County.” “Senator Littell was dedicated not only to the constituents he represented, but all of NJ,” said Space. “His commitment to public service is an example to everyone that you can make a difference. Senator Littell loved his family and this great state. We can never truly thank him for his many contributions to NJ, but seeing his name on Rt. 15 will always remind us of someone who cared deeply about our state.” Obituaries,Remembrance We’re there for you...
