Growing up in Long

Valley, Michael

Burton dreamed of

playing professional foot-

ball. On May 2, his dreamcame true when the Detroit

Lions selected him 168th in

the National Football

League Draft, making him

the first student from West

Morris Central HighSchool to get drafted.

“When you love some-

thing you want to be able to

perform or work in that

field at the highest level,”

Burton said.Burton, 23, said his love

of the gridiron traces back

to his father, Peter, who

played quarterback at

Susquehanna University.

Additionally, his brother,

Drew, 27, played basket-

ball and his sister, Lindsay,25, played at Johns

Hopkins. Not only did hebond with his father, but

most of his friends played

as well. His mother Anne

showed great support forhim and his siblings while

they played sports, he said.

“They (his family) set

examples of how you

should act and what a stu-dent athlete should be,” he

said.

He played flag footballand was a member of the

Long Valley Raiders fromfifth to eighth grade.

His hard work paid off

WMC Alum First Drafted Into Pro Football as he was the first freshman

to start on varsity at WestMorris Central in school

history. Burton, who was a

tailback in high school,

said he learned a lot fromthe upper classmen and his

coaches. As a senior, hehad 200 carries for 1,769

yards and 20 touchdowns

and helped the Wolfpack

win the state championship

in 2009.“The way coach Kevin

Hennelly runs that program

is first class from top to

bottom,” Burton said. “I

never focused on goingpro. If you focus on that, itcan take away of what your

responsibility is. You can’t

worry about playing at the

next level.”

He missed most of his junior year due to an ankle

injury, so many colleges

passed on recruiting him.

However, Burton attended

Rutgers University, where

he was a walk-on playerand switched from tailback

to fullback. The transition

to college was a bit difficult

at first because guys were

stronger and faster, but he

adjusted quickly, he said.

After red-shirting his

freshman season, Burtonworked hard and became

one of the team’s five cap-tains for the 2014 season.

Scouts began calling him

this past year and when he

had a pro-day on March 11,

he knew his chances of get-

ting drafted were real.

“I love Rutgers and I’m

glad I went there,” he said.“I knew the role that I had.”

Burton watched thedraft with his parents and

girlfriend Kirsten Oddo

with an open mind and

when he got the call from

the Detroit Lions he was

overwhelmed and it was

one of the proudest

moments of his life.Now that the hysteria of

being drafted has passed,Burton has moved to

Detroit and fallen in love

with the organization. He

By Elsie Walker

When it comes to

psychologicalhorror, Chester

author Carlotta Holton is an

expert. The award-winning

author of “Salem Pact,”

“Deadly Innocence,”“Vampire Resurrection” and

“Touching the Dead,”

Holton plays on the fear

within the mind.

Her latest book, “Grave

Matters,” is a continuationof “Touching in the Dead.”

It is an anthology of short

stories based on ethnicsuperstitions and legends

from around the world. JackEvans, host of WMBS-

CBS’ “The Jack Evans

Show,” has described it as

"A mélange of terrifying

supernatural tales that will

keep you turning page afterpage. Grave Matters com-

bines legends, curses and

superstitions from the pastwith a keen contemporary

psychological twist.

Absolutely riveting! A must

read for fans of the horror

genre."The book is now avail-

able through Amazon.com,

Barnes and Noble, and

Dorrence Publishing.

When asked what she

thinks are the elements of agood horror story, Holton

answered, “a unique con-

cept, descriptive, sensory

imagery and atmosphere,

memorable characters andan off beat ending.”

The stories in Grave

Matters take the reader

around the world with set-

tings in Italy, Portugal,

England, the states andmore. The characters range

from a man’s wooden chil-

dren (marionettes) to Hitler.

For her stories, Holton

draws on superstitions shelearned from family, others

who share their own specif-

ic beliefs, on-line researchof numerous cultures and

her travels to countries

abroad and within the 50states.

“It’s quite a Pandora’s

Box of ideas,” she said.

When asked about the

stories, perhaps sharing afavorite, the author seemed

to hedge a bit.

Carlotta Holton

Chester Author’s Work Strikes Fear in ReadersHolton, who has also

written for the “New York

Times” and “The Star-

Ledger,” said, “That is like

asking a mother which is herfavorite child. I have my

favorites for different rea-

sons. I love the psychologi-

cal and supernatural banter

between twin brothers in

‘Momento Mori;’ I love the

desperation, albeit nefari-

ous, solution of one townstruggling to survive in ‘A

Town to Die For’ and

‘Nevermore’ entails para-

normal ravens at The Tower

of London, a favorite travel

destination.”

Although a horror writer,

Holton will be quick toshare that none of her works

are the kind that many asso-

said the biggest adjustment will be the

speed of the game and learning the play-

book, which is much more complex thancollege.

“I’m going to be the best football play-

er I can be,” he said. “There’s a lot of work

that still has to be done, so I’m just taking

it one day at a time.”

Many people have congratulated himon making it to the NFL including Coach

Hennelly.

Hennelly said he is not surprised Burton

got drafted and said he was privileged to

have coached him.

Burton not only had the talent to suc-

ceed on the field, but was a leader and

always put the team first, Hennelly said.He said he and his staff knew there wassomething special about Burton from the

moment he stepped on the field.

“Everything he did was 100 percent,”

the coach said. “He was a very good ath-

lete that worked himself into the positionhe is in now. He’s really humble and down

to earth. He appreciates where he is now

and knows why he got there. I think he’ll

do well at the pro level.”

First Drafted...continued from front page

ciate with the genre, those which graphical-

ly portray slaughter and violence. Rather,

she prefers emphasizing the role suggestionand its power over the mind have to create

fear.Holton said, “I’m not a fan of gore hor-

ror; I find the intricacies of the human mind

far more terrifying. To plant the seed of doubt or fear within the mind can be quite

disturbing and not easily forgotten.

Manipulating certain legends or tenets that

humans can become obsessed with is a cun-

ning way to involve the reader in a frighten-

ing and sometimes creepy supernatural arm-

chair journey.”Her interest in the genre started as a

teenager. It began as an interest in myster-

ies, growing from mysteries in books to

those on TV and then in movies. However,

even then, as her interest in the horror genreblossomed, it was never “the blood and guts

aspect.”

Holten said, “I watched a lot of the

Vincent Price movies of Poe’s classics like

“The Pit and The Pendulum,” “ThePremature Burial,” “The Mask of the Red

Death.”

Holton is in good company in her beliefs

about the psychological power of supersti-

tions over society and a person’s mind. That

is reflected in the quotes she shares beforeeach short story.

The quotes come from everyone from

Voltaire to Stephen King.

However, it is perhaps the quote which

prefaces the book, which best captures theimpact of this type of horror.

That quote comes from Mark Twain:

“When the human race has once acquired a

superstition, nothing short of death is ever

likely to remove it.”

New Jersey Blood Services, a division of New York Blood Center (NYBC) is asking

for help to maintain an adequate supply of

all blood types, but especially O-negative-

the “universal” blood which can be trans-fused into anyone in an emergency. In addi-

tion, hundreds of additional blood drives

need to be scheduled to meet projected hos-

pital demand. Current inventory of several

blood types is running below the desiredtarget level.

“It’s simple: hospital patient demand for

blood often outpaces our best efforts torecruit donors and schedule blood drives,”

said NYBC Executive Director of Donor

Recruitment Andrea Cefarelli. “There are

always reasons but we have to overcome

that for the sake of hospital patients who

need us.”“This is one of the toughest times of the

year,” Cefarelli added. “We’re asking for

our dedicated supporters to roll up their

sleeves to make sure we’re able to provide

our hospital partners with whatever theyneed to take care of their patients.”

Blood products have a short shelf life,

from five to 42 days, so constant replenish-

ment is necessary. Each and every daythere are patients who depend on the trans-

fusion of red blood cells, platelets and plas-ma to stay alive. But blood and blood prod-

ucts can’t be manufactured. They can only

come from volunteer blood donors who

take an hour to attend a blood drive or visit

a donor center.To donate blood or for information on

how to organize a blood drive, call 1-800-

In 2012, Kids4Kindness Club was start-

ed, under the umbrella of the ParentTeacher Association, as a way to spread

kindness throughout the school communi-ties of Morris County.

According to the Kids4Kindness web-site, “The mission of the Kids4KindnessMorris County 4H Club is for children andparents to work together to raise awarenessand spread kindness throughout the commu-nity.”

With the philosophy of children who take

time to be kind and help others are moreindependent, have better self-esteem and

succeed in school, this program was createdas a way for children to make a difference inthe community that they live in.

Kids4Kindness has since been expandedto be included under the Morris County 4HClub and includes children from kinder-garten through one year post high school.This expansion has allowed the club tobroaden its horizons and make a more sig-nificant impact on the surrounding commu-nity while including a more diverse group of

Kids Groups Spreads Kindness In Community And Beyond students in its membership, according to theKids4Kindness website.

The club currently has 60 members,according to Eunice Boyd who is one of fourKids4Kindness leaders.

“I’ve been with the club since the begin-ning, I’m one of the parents and then Ibecame one of the leaders,” said Boyd.

“There are four leaders in the club andMichelle Lis is the head leader.”

In the past, members of Kids4Kindnesshave completed numerous projects in aneffort to have the club’s efforts felt by differ-

ent groups within the community. Some of these projects include creating heating

The group has also created notes to puton each child’s desk Kindergarten througheight grade for first day of schools; collectedfood for the local food pantry, sorted foodand stocked shelves and made birthday bas-kets; and sent packages to local soldiers whoare serving oversees.

Breakthrough Treatment Now Available In Long Valley

Imagine 30 to 40 years ago if you were told that lasers wouldreplace scalpels in surgery or that robotic instruments would buildcars; you may not have believed it. By the same token would you

believe that chiropractic treatments could be performed using a spe-cial hand-held instrument developed by NASA scientists; all while

you were sitting in an upright position without turning or twistingmovements?Advances in computers and engineering technologies have been

able to uniquely blend with chiropractic in order to both analyze andtreat the human body in such a way that was never before realized.

According to Dr. Michael S. Hyjek, “This new form of computer-ized treatment is so gentle and effective, that it amazes even the mostskeptical patients. It’s called the Impulse IQ Adjuster and is the lat-est, state-of-the-art technology in existence today, and the only one inthe Long Valley area”

The Impulse IQ Adjuster can safely and gently analyze and treatthe spine and other joints to remove the nerve impingement that isoften the cause of pains in the low back, neck, shoulder and else-

where in the body. It also works on a variety of muscular conditionsto loosen tight muscles with ease and comfort. Many patients say thatit’s 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 fasci-itis are being helped. It is also covered by most insurance companiesincluding medicare.

Dr. Michael S. Hyjek, “the secret to the Impulse IQ Adjuster liesin its advanced piezoelectric sensor that is able to detect the slightestamount of restriction in a joint and then deliver an extremely preciseadjustment.” He says that “Even though traditional forms of adjust-ing also work, people are drawn to this new technique because of

how gentle it is and does not involve any twisting,especially in the neck. Many people love gettingadjusted with traditional manual techniques, all of which are safe and effective, but there are a largenumber of people who never get to experience theamazing benefits of chiropractic because they arescared to have their spines adjusted in that way,”

says Dr. Michael S. Hyjek. Now, there is no longer a reasonfor anyone to be weary. The Impulse IQ Adjuster is perfect foranyone who has been thinking about going to a chiropractor,but hasn’t yet made that decision. Dr. Michael S. Hyjek, wantseveryone to be able to experience these same benefits and if

you have any of the following conditions, the Impulse IQAdjuster may be the answer you’ve been looking for…• Low back discomfort • Fibromyalgia• Sciatic nerve pain • Planter Fascitis• Neck and shoulder pain • Knee or hip pain• TMJ dysfunction • Scoliosis• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome • Arthritis• Headaches • Sports injuriesTreatment with the Impulse IQ Adjuster is consistent,

It’s only in downtown Chester, but with just one step

inside Fresco Mexican Restaurant guests will be swept

away into a world that is easy to describe as charming,inviting, fresh and bright.

From the warm welcome by owners as customers walk

through the door, to the bright, bold décor with its colorful

paintings on the walls, bright blue tables and chairs – along

with the relaxing music and the tasty, fresh cuisine, Fresco

Mexican offers a wonderful atmosphere for dining day ornight. But the experience does not end there as right next

door, customers can shop for the most fabulous collection

of handcrafted art at their Boutique Random Acts of Fresco.

Voted top three in the 2015 Readers Choice Awards for

Best Restaurants and Food by “Morris Essex Health and

Life” magazine, Fresco Mexican restaurant on Main Streetin Chester offers a distinctive menu with a variety of

favorites from Mexico.

Opened in Chester since 2010, the first restaurant-

Fresco- had been located in Flanders since 2006. OwnersMarco Rojas and Carlos Cervantes joined their years of

passion to establish one of the finest Mexican area restau-

rants.

Rojas, from Guadalajara Mexico, developed his region-

al style of Mexican cooking in his mother’s kitchen. It was

there where he learned how to use the fresh produce,

cheese, and meats from the local merchants.Relocated to New Jersey in the late eighties, Rojas

expanded his skills of international cuisine working asexecutive chef at The Black Horse Pub in Mendham and

The Short Hills Club in Short Hills.

“I named our restaurant Fresco (fresh) because there

really is no other way,” Rojas says on his website.Cervantes, from Key West, started his career in hotels at

the famed Pier House Beach Club and Resort. After mov-

ing to NJ in 1988, Carlos managed various restaurants

throughout the northern NJ area; including 15 years at The

Madison Hotel in Morristown as a sales and catering man-ager.

The two joined forces in 2006 with Fresco in Flanders,

moved to Chester four years later, and then one year later,in 2011, opened up a unique gift shop right next door-

Random Acts of Fresco - featuring hand-crafted artisanimports from countries such as Mexico, Peru, Guatemala,

Haiti, India and Ecuador.

Unlike various countries represented at the boutique, the

restaurant features all Mexican specialties. For drink, cus-

tomers can bring their own alcohol, and add to the restau-

rant’s fresh made non-alcoholic margarita mix. Mexicansodas are available, but the Hibiscus Iced Tea made from

the dry flower is most refreshing. Guests can buy a bag full

of the flowered leaves at the restaurant and at Random Acts

of Fresco to make their own at home.The best, homemade tortilla chips with salsas such as

mild chipotle and tomatillo salsa with cilantro comes next.

Chilled Gazpacho, a cold tomato soup with cucumbers and

chopped vegetable garnish of peppers and onions is popu-

lar to start.

If dining with another, the Bocadillo Platter appetizer isa great one to share as it includes three specialties- Chicken

Empanadas, Beef Taquitos, and Guacamole that is chunky

style and as fresh as it gets.

The Sangrita Chicken Salad comes marinated in home-

made orange-tomato dressing, and includes crisp greens,

grapes, avocado, fried plantains, spiced pecans and freshorange.

For an entrée, the Shrimp Al Pastor Molcajete is a house

specialty served hot in a bubbling Aztec Stone Dish, which

can also be purchased at the boutique next door. Enjoy

fresh, full of flavor shrimp combined with chorizo, andfresh pineapple with poblano peppers, and onions in a spicy

ancho chili sauce; and accompanied with Mexican rice,

refried beans, and homemade tortillas. Preparations of this

dish change weekly.

Some other entrees on the menu include burritos, pani-

nis, tacos, and wraps all popular for lunch; and a variety of dishes like enchiladas, chimichangas, chile relleno, nachos

and so many dishes varying chicken, pork, steak, shrimp

and vegetarian.

On the kid’s menu, young guests can enjoy favorites like

salchipulpo, quesadillas, nachos and more.Whether an appetizer, entrée, dessert or a drink, presen-

tation is eye appealing.

The Pastel de Tres Leches which is a moist vanilla cake

soaked in three types of milk and brandy, with a layer of

white icing, swirled chocolate sauce on the plate and two

sliced strawberries. Sharing is not recommended, as it isthat good and definitely worth the calories.

Fresco Mexican also collaborates with The Sweet Spot

Bake Shoppe down the street in Chester, offering their

Chocolate Coffee Brownie Pops and Lime Margarita bars.

Cervantes is working on adding Margarita Cheesecake to

his dessert menu.Once the owners were settled in their new restaurant,

they started to research the idea for a boutique next door,

says Cervantes. Just one year later, Random Acts of Fresco

opened its doors.

Random Fresco started with Mexican art, so he and hispartners visited Mexico and came back with fabulous finds,

all purchased from wonderful artists throughout the region.

Random has since expanded to other countries and filled up

the boutique with Ecuadorian jewelry; textiles and embroi-

dered pillows from Guatemala; scarves from India; Haitian

metal art made from discarded 55 gallon steel oil drumsrecycled into wall décor like a giant sunflower; Impressive

pottery; and upscale jewelry with gold and pearls featuring

artists from New York and Boston.

Customers stand in awe at the selection and variety, such

as heart sconces made from iron, Day of The Dead Art likethe painted ceramic skulls and skull wine stoppers, a fan

favorite, Mexican mirrors with tin roses made out of recy-

cled aluminum, leather and fabric handbags, woven belts

from India, a pig sculpture with four pigs standing on top of

the other, iridescent glasses made from blow fused glass in

Mexico, authentic Mexican saddle purses, printed scarves,

decorative plates, candles, table runners, picture frames,

statues, vases, colorful necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and so

much more.

Customers will also appreciate the later hours and out-side dining in the front patio open as the weather permits

from spring to the fall.

“Eat, Eat, Eat… Shop, Shop, Shop,” Cervantes stresses.

Hours are Sun. – Thurs., 10:30 a.m. – 9 p.m.; Fri. and

Sat., 10:30 a.m. – 10 p.m. For more information or to viewthe menu, visit Frescomexican.com; or call 908-955-7222.

AChester woman and retired nurse is the winner of aphoto contest sponsored by Bayer, after taking abeautiful photo of a Cape May scene that was cho-

sen as part of a campaign to raise awareness about CTEPH,

or chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.Patricia Middings, a resident of Chester for 50 years, saidthe reason she entered the Bayer photo contest was becauseit was directly involved with the medical field. Her outstand-ing photo, courtesy of Bayer, is of "The Cove" at Cape May,a section of the beach hailed as picturesque, family-orientedand good for surfing.

Middings said she loves to photograph nature scenes, andis pleased that her photo won and that it helps to raise aware-ness about CTEPH (on cteph.com, chronic thromboembol-ic pulmonary hypertension is described as a rare form of pul-monary hypertension in which a "thrombus - clot-like mass- gets stuck to the lung’s blood vessel wall and blocks blood

flow.")On Bayer's website, Bayer.US, it mentions thatMiddings won this contest by showcasing an inspiringmoment with her photograph, and that the photo contest was"designed to raise awareness about chronic thromboembolicpulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) by showcasing inspira-tional events, sights or moments in time that can take a per-son's breath away.

To enter the contest, photographers had to first visit theeducational disease awareness site cteph.com and take a

quiz about the CTEPH symptoms, diagnosis, and treatmentoptions, including the potentially curative surgery, pul-monary thromboendartorectomy. Photos were judged basedon their visual appeal, as well as their ability to depict a trulybreathtaking moment."

Middings uses a Canon Powershot Fx130 IS camera, andsaid she won blue ribbon awards for her photos but never acontest.

"It's a hobby," she said about photography. "I've beendoing it for about 10 years, probably longer."

Middings said she usually photographs nature -"scenes,flowers, bugs."

This particular contest was appealing to Middingsbecause of its tie to the medical field and how it has the pur-pose of raising awareness about CTEPH. Middings is, afterall, a retired nurse who worked at the Kessler Institute forRehabilitation, in Chester, a renowned rehabilitation hospi-tal.

Her photo also helps people realize that some areas of New Jersey still possess an excellent display of nature, andthat it is still is a pretty state.

"It is. It's so beautiful," she said.When asked if she plans of entering any other photo con-

tests, she said she may if "something suitable comes up."Middings said it has to be something inspiring. "It has to

be something that means something to me."In the meantime, she said she was "very pleased that my

photo won," and the fact that it could help someone is a very

good thing.On CTEPH.com, it describes chronic thromboembolic

pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH)."When people talk about blood pressure, they are nor-

mally referring to the blood pressure you measure with acuff. This is called systemic blood pressure—the pressure inyour body’s arteries (blood vessels) as your heart pumpsblood to the rest of your body. If your systemic blood pres-

Dr. Edward J. Yaw, president of County College of Morris (CCM), announced today that he has informed theCCM Board of Trustees that he will notCCM President Retires After 30 Years of Leadership

seek renewal of his contract when it

expires in August 2016.

Yaw told the college community of his

decision this morning at CCM’s spring

Professional Day for faculty and staff.

“I want to express my deep sense of gratitude for what we have been able to

accomplish here,” said Yaw. “I am espe-

cially proud of our faculty. It is because

of their dedication that our academic pro-

grams are so widely recognized in the

state and even around the nation.”

Yaw was appointed the second presi-

dent of the college in 1986, following the

retirement of CCM’s first president, Dr.

Sherman H. Masten. Yaw first joined

CCM in 1980 as Dean of Academic

Affairs. Prior to that, he served as

Associate Dean of Academic Affairs at

Adelphi University in New York.

Under his leadership, CCM has

become one of the state’s leading com-

munity colleges. As a result of his vision

and guidance, the college has one of the

highest combined transfer and graduation

rates among community colleges in New

Jersey. Students and faculty also are reg-

ularly presented with awards and honors

for their accomplishments.

In addition, Yaw has played an instru-

mental role in shaping higher educationin NJ through his work on professional

and educational councils. During his

service as chair of the NJ Presidents

Council – representing all of the state’s

colleges and universities – he led the

effort to enact a statewide transfer agree-

ment to ease the process for students

seeking to pursue their educations

beyond an associate degree. An active

community leader, he has served on the

boards of numerous organizations,

including the Morris County Chamber of

Commerce and the Urban League of

Morris County, offering his time and

expertise to improving the lives of others.

Yaw earned his Ed.D. from Columbia

University, his M.S. from Southern

Illinois University and his B.A. from

Harpur College, SUNY Binghamton.

“The blood vessels in your lungs, calledpulmonary arteries, have their own pres-sures. In some cases, this pressure can behigh, causing pulmonary hypertension (PH).PH makes the right side of your heart workharder. Over time, the right side of yourheart becomes enlarged, making it harder topump blood." And, chronic thromboembolicpulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), is con-

sidered a rare form of pulmonary hyperten-sion in which a "thrombus (clot-like mass)gets stuck to the lung’s blood vessel wall andblocks blood flow."

The condition can be improved by wayof surgery, if individuals decide on this. Thisis mentioned on the website as well.

Bayer raised awareness about CTEPH,by promoting the "Breathless Moments"contest through public relations and socialmedia.

"It is estimated that 500 to 2500 patientsdevelop CTEPH every year in the U.S.,many of whom go undiagnosed, which isparticularly troubling as a surgical optionhas the potential to cure some CTEPHcases," said Dr. Dario Mirski, vice presidentand head U.S. Medical Affairs, BayerHealthCare Pharmaceuticals. "Bayer isproud to be working to raise awarenessabout CTEPH, in the hope that increasededucation will lead to better outcomes for

patients."Rino Aldrighetti, president and CEO of the Pulmonary Hypertension Association,Silver Spring, Md., said "We are verypleased to see Bayer's commitment toCTEPH patients and their work to raiseawareness about the disease. Increasedawareness is important because CTEPH isoften undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, causingpatients to lose valuable treatment time,which can lead to a poor prognosis."

Today there is renewed curiosity

about who was the best visionary of

the 20th Century now that we’veentered the 21st Century. Which of these

two legendary geniuses was it – Thomas

Edison or Nikola Tesla who best predicated

the world’s power technology for mar-velous modern day living?

Retelling this legendary story of the bat-

tle of these two rival inventors often pres-

ents embellished or misleading facts that

attempts to repackage history in a morecomposite way for today’s popular appeal.

The fact is that Thomas Edison did not

invent the light bulb. He made improve-ments to the incandescent bulb that its pio-

neering designer (Joseph Swan) even

admired. Thomas Edison made the incan-descent light bulb practical, economical and

efficient to get people to accept electricity

as the source of power that lit these bulbs.

The electricity that Edison endorsed to

power these bulbs was DC - Direct Currentand that is where he came into conflict with

his former snappy employee Nikola Tesla.

The popular myth on Tesla was that he

led the charge on electrical current power.

This is misleading because the use of AC

was used in medical devices long beforeTesla was even born. The earliest big dis-

coveries and experiments in electricity go to

Michael Faraday which dates back to the

1820’s. Nikola Tesla was the big power

electricity sort of thinker employed by

Westinghouse to further advance ACAlternating Current power as the way to

modernize the world. Think of miles of util-

ity lines of power and this is the transmis-sion of Tesla’s AC Current. It is that big net-

work grid that connects power to everyhome in the US.

So Edison did not discover the light bulb

and Nikola Tesla did not discover AC

power. Both men made phenomenal

progress in their area of research and devel-opment.

What really separated Edison from Tesla

was the application of these inventions.

Here is where Thomas Edison has a

stronger connection to modern day living aswe know it today. Edison’s research wasdone for practical benefit. His vision was to

bring safe electricity to the home that did

not cause a family’s life to be at risk in using

his home inventions. There is more safety

in using DC power even though it can’t gothe distance. Edison did not think of trans-

mitting power over long distances. Edison’s

mind was off the big power grid. He

believed in local generating stations embed-

ded in neighborhoods that served electricity

to each home. He even proved that a homecould have its own standalone generating

station. Inside his own gated estate commu-

nity at Llewellyn Park, he purchased a stan-

dard size family home in 1905 on

Honeysuckle Ave in West Orange. Hemade this house into a demo model home of

electrification. The house had its own elec-

Who Was On The Mark On How The 21st Century Would BePowered - Thomas Edison or Nikola Tesla

tric generating station. It ishere that Thomas Edison

tested out the practicality of

his various new Edisonhousehold appliances,

inventions, and devices forhis vision of the modern day

family home. In 1912 he

issued a newsletter to his

employees that stated this

model home was installedwith several new “moving

picture machines” in the bil-

liard room of this house.

Can it be said then that

Thomas Edison promotedthe first home theater con-cept that is now a trend in

the 21st century.

When we flip the light

switch to light our home,

this is a Tesla concept of ACpower. When we recharge

are battery powered person-

al electronic devices we are

using DC power. So, we

can say that PC users are in

the Thomas Edison state of mind on power.

Did you know that your endocrine system producesthirty (30) distinct hormones each of which hasextremely specific jobs to do? Your endocrine sys-

tem is responsible for all hormonal functions in the body.Your endocrine system governs your physical growth, mood,reproduction, mental functionality, your mood and yourimmune system. Needless to say, it is very important to haveyour endocrine system operating optimally at all times.When not working properly, you can become susceptible toinfertility, various diseases and your ability to overcomeinfection will become weakened. Your endocrine systemimpacts every area of your health and yet unknowingly it isbombarded on a daily basis with the foods you consume andthe amount stress you allow in your life.

The cornerstone of Chinese Medicine and Acupuncturehas always been about prevention and helping the body torestore balance to the various organ systems and meridians orpathways that cover the entire body. If these pathways ormeridians become obstructed or depleted you can suffer froma myriad of symptoms such as: tiredness, weight gain,depression, digestive problems, infertility, hair loss, arthritisand feeling cold all the time, regardless of the temperature.The following are a list of each of the endocrine glands andtheir functions:

Thyroid – The thyroid gland produces thyroid stimulatinghormones (TSH) and Triiodothyronine (T3) and FreeThyroxine (T4) which control the growth, your temperatureand function of every cell in your body. Your thyroid controlsyour metabolism – a high TSH combined with a low or nor-mal T4 generally indicates hypothyroidism, which can havea detrimental effect on fertility, your energy level and yourability to lose weight to name a few. Sometimes a diseasedthyroid gland will start producing very high levels of T3 butstill produce normal levels of T4. Therefore measurement of both hormones provides an even more accurate evaluation of thyroid function.

Reproductive Hormones – Your reproductive glands con-sist of either ovaries or testes and secrete hormones that con-trol the development of male and female characteristics.

Women have two ovaries and their function is to release egg

cells and to produce hormones. They usually produce oneegg per month and their function is quite unique. The normalovary produces two very important hormones but in a veryspecial unique way. For the first half of the menstrual cycleonly Estrogen is produced but in the latter half the ovary alsostarts producing another hormone Progesterone. The ovaryalso produces small amounts of testosterone. Did you knowthat when a baby girl is born, her ovaries contain all the eggcells (ova) she will ever possess? The egg cells are formedin utero and no new egg cells are formed after birth. This dif-fers substantially from the male, who start producing spermonly at puberty and then continues to produce sperm for therest of his life. This is why women enter the menopause withALL THEIR EGG CELLS ARE USED UP. The first half of a women’s cycle is considered Yin as is Estrogen, while thesecond half of a woman’s cycle is Yang in nature and isProgesterone. It is vitally important that both are balanced toensure a good menstrual cycle and provide a fertile groundfor conception.

In males the Testes are glands are responsible for makingtestosterone, the primary male sex hormone, and for generat-ing sperm. The semen is considered a Yin substance whilethe sperm and its ability to swim is considered to be moreYang. Therefore, sperm volume, motility and morphologycome under the auspices of both Kidney Yin and Yang.

Hypothalamus/Pituitary – The hypothalamus/pituitaryglands provide the primary link between the endocrine andcentral nervous systems. Nerve cells and hormones signalthe pituitary gland to secrete or suppress the release of vari-ous hormone messages to your other glands. The pituitarygland secretes your growth hormones. The hypothalamuscontrols the autonomic nervous system and acts with the lim-bic system to regulate emotional and behavioral patterns, reg-ulates eating and drinking, and controls your body tempera-ture. It also controls pituitary gland secretions.

In response to stimuli such as stress, pain and emotions,the hypothalamus can exert effects on the pituitary gland toorder to respond to these stimuli.

Adrenals – Your adrenal glands sit on top of your kidneysand regulate your body’s response to stress and are made of

Acupuncture Can Enhance Your Endocrine System and Optimize Your Healthtwo parts, each of which secretes a separate set of hormones.The adrenal cortex or outer part produces hormones’ that arevital to life, such as cortisol (which helps regulate yourmetabolism and your body respond to stress). The medullaor inner part produces hormones such as adrenaline whichhelps your body react to stress. Over time, chronic elevatedstress levels can lead to weight gain, decreased resistance toinfections, fatigue, muscles aches and low blood sugar.

Pancreas – Your pancreas makes pancreatic juices andhormones, called insulin and glucagon. Both these hormonesare secreted directly into your bloodstream, and together,they regulate the level of glucose in the blood. Insulin low-ers the blood sugar level and increases the amount glucagon(stored carbohydrate) in the liver. Glucagon increases yourblood sugar level if it falls too low. If the insulin secretingcells do not work properly, diabetes occurs.

Pineal – Your pineal gland is also referred to as the “thirdeye”. It is the spiritual Third Eye, our inner vision and it isconsidered the seat of the soul. It is located in the center of the cranium. It produces the serotonin derivative melatonin,a hormone that affects the modulation of wake/sleep patternsand seasonal affective disorders.

As you can see from the information above, yourendocrine system is vital to maintaining homeostasis or bal-ance to your life. A healthy endocrine system which secretes

just the right amount of specific hormones will slow youraging process and keep you vibrant and healthy as you age.

When treating an endocrine condition with ChineseMedicine and Acupuncture, my job is to determine the rootcause of your imbalance and then treat both the root causeand the branch (your symptoms). The endocrine system istied to the internal balance of your yin and yang energy. I liketo use this analogy, imagine that the Yang energy is like gaso-line that fuels your car, and the Yin energy is the coolant forthe car’s engine. Without the coolant, the engine overheatsand begins to burn out. Chinese Medicine and Acupuncturework to make sure the Yin and Yang are equal within thebody restoring your internal balance. The root of the body’sQi or energy in Chinese Medicine is the Kidney OrganSystem. Treatment used to strengthen the Kidney Systemand movement of Qi throughout the body is used to strength-en the Kidney Organ System thereby restoring yourendocrine glands.

Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture has been used forthousands of years to restore hormonal balance, regulateenergy levels, smooth emotions and help manage sleep, treatmenstrual problems and reproductive problems. Treatmentstake you as an individual and your symptoms into accountand are aimed at balancing the energy in your body, optimiz-ing your health, restoring your immune function and balanc-ing the production and release of hormones through a varietyof approaches ranging from acupuncture and herbal formulas

to dietary and lifestyle changes. Many patients benefit froman integrated Eastern and Western medical approach toendocrine health. At Skyland’s our patients are also educat-ed on the various day to day food and chemicals from house-hold cleaning products that disrupt your endocrine system ona daily basis.

All throughout northern New Jersey, an organiza-

tion is helping adults with intellectual and/ordevelopmental disabilities lead more meaning-

ful lives as they become integrated into the community

and workforce more and more.

The Rose House, in Morris Plains, is a "non-profit

organization, providing person-centered programs fordevelopmentally disabled adults, helping them to pursue

their goals and dreams, and become valued members of

their communities," their website reads.

Earlier this month, Tom Mitchell, of the Rose House

spoke in a phone interview about upcoming programs

and the help they have given individuals with intellectu-al and/or developmental disabilities.

The Rose House serves adults with Intellectual and

Developmental Disabilities (IDD) such as Down

Syndrome, Fragile X Syndrome and Autism Spectrum

Disorders. Its contact information [email protected]; and its website is

TheRoseHouse.org.

Mitchell said The Rose House has programs to help

out families with an IDD individuals, and the men and

women themselves, visiting their homes for possibly a

few hours each day or each week, depending on thelevel of care. There are different levels of vocational

training and "self-directed" supports as well, and IDD

individuals also visit the community for activities.In Parsippany, at the Parsippany PAL, there is the

Rose House Cafe, a community center-type facility inwhich IDD men and women serve tasty muffins, soups,

salads, chips and hot dogs to the members and occasion-

al members of the community. This is one example of

how IDD men and women have been trained and inte-

grated into the workforce, each gaining a personal uplift

and creating a more meaningful life for themselves.The Rose House also has four group homes, and 10

apartments in northern NJ, offering residential possibil-

ities for men and women. There are two group homes in

Budd Lake, one in Morris Plains, and 10 apartments in

Hanover. They are in the process of purchasing a housein Parsippany as well.

Training and education in independent living skills

can allow individuals to enter into these residential liv-

ing spaces. They gain skills in cooking, cleaning, com-

munity shopping, and of course, job skills such as work-ing a cash register, for instance.

"The more integrated the better," said Mitchell,

adding that the Rose House has served more than 100individuals during its 15 years.

For these programs, families receive partial funding

from the state, and parents provide funding too. TheRose House accepts men and women 21 and older.

As a result, IDD men and women can become inte-grated by way of community-based Residential Living

Skills that they will obtain from The Rose House;

Competitive Employment Training; Job Sampling for

High School Seniors (graduating seniors can become

involved though not yet 21); and Healthy Choices, a

three-session course on cooking your own healthy, tastymeals, designed specifically for people with develop-

mental disabilities and their caregivers.

Rose House representatives will be meeting at the

end of June with County College of Morris (CCM) rep-

resentatives to plan a 5K run/walk at CCM in Randolphfor Oct. 11. Check its website, the RoseHouse.org clos-

er to the event to confirm the details.

Individuals qualify for the Rose House services via

referrals from the state Department of Developmental

Disabilities, Easter Seals, and also via referrals from NJhigh schools.
