program provides food to the

hungry children of the

greater Hackettstown area

and provides relief for family

food budgets in homes where

unemployment, underem-

ployment or disability impact

on the food needs of chil-

dren.

During the school year theneedy children of

Hackettstown receive food

from school based programs.

In the summer months, these

strapped families must now

absorb the additional food

costs into their already

strained budgets. Last years

comradeship of camping along side hun-

and of course the breathtaking, scenic New

weekend and came home with fond memo-

Hackettstown Mayor Maria

DiGiovanni said the Bergen Tool

property recently had Phase Iapproved by the planning board, and this

will include the CVS Pharmacy, and that

Phase II will be going before the planning

board in the coming months.

"Phase II will be retail on the first floor

and 99 apartments on the second," said

DiGiovanni in a statement to the

Hacketstown News last week.

She said Phase I will "start during this

year as some of the buildings have come

down," and that Phase II will start to go

before the planning board within the nextmonths.

Developer Ray Rice is the owner of this

property at 91 Main Street.

In other construction projects around

Hackettstown, Sgt. Darren Tynan of the

Hackettstown Police Department said in a

press release that a Route 46 Bridge

Reconstruction Project will start on or about

Hackettstown Mayor Digiovanni Outlines Next Steps Of Bergen Tool Site;Police Sgt. Tynan Offers Bridge Project Details

June 16, and offered information on detours

and weight restrictions for vehicles.

He said that Stage One of the reconstruc-

tion project of this bridge over theMusconetcong River will start on or

aboutMonday, June 16.

The road work will be done overnight

from 9 pm - 6am and an alternating traffic

pattern will be put in place, he said. Stage

Two of the project will start on Saturday

evening August 16 at approximately 9 pm,

where there will be a full road closure and a

detour in place for ten days, he said.

The road will be closed between

Route182 (Mountain Avenue) and East

Avenue, he said, adding that the roadwaywould be accessible for motorists that need

to get to a business or residence up to the

bridge closure.

The detour for vehicles at four tons or

less Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)

travelling Route 46 West would be to make

a left onto East Avenue, then make a right

onto Route 182 (Mountain Avenue) to

Route 46 West.

The detour for vehicles four tons or less

GVWR travelling Route 46 East would be

to make a right onto Route182 (MountainAvenue) then a left onto East Avenue to

Route 46 East.

Sgt. Tynan said there will be a signed

detour for vehicles over four tons GVWR

and that detour would keep those vehicles tothe highways and not allow them to use East

Avenue. Vehicles found travelling on East

Avenue, over the four ton GVWR, will be

ticketed, Sgt. Tynan said.

The information is subject to change, he

said, adding that "we ask that you keep

checking back to the Hackettstown Police

Department Facebook page and twitter page

for up-to-date information. Information will

also be sent out on our NIXLE Alerting

System."

In other police department news, theHackettstown Police Department was

involved in the 2014 "Click It or Ticket"

campaign and Sgt. Tynan said the results are

as follows: "During the two week campaign

there were 123 tickets issued for drivers,

front seat passengers or backseat passengers

not wearing their seatbelts."

"There were 4 speeding tickets, 21 cell

phone tickets, 1 careless driving ticket, 1

DUI Arrest, 1 DWI Arrest, 5 suspended

driver tickets and 105 tickets issued for

other moving and non-moving violations,"he noted.

If Youre Gobbling UpPills For Your Headaches and MigrainesYou Might Be Making Things Worse - We Can Help You...

Are You Searching ForThe Answer To Stop YourHeadaches and Migraines?

A new report by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence has re-vealed that common painkillers like aspirin, paracetamol and triptans, often takento stop headaches and migraines, could actually be causing more frequent headachesand migraines.

The report points out that people who have regular headaches and migraines mayget stuck in a vicious cycle induced by the medication. With as many as 20 millionpeople in the US suffering headaches and/or migraines regularly and 83% of peoplebuying medication for them... its a big problem.

But, this is not the first time a report like this has been published, so why is so littlebeing done about it? Doctors and research charities are blaming the pharmaceuticalcompanies who profit from selling the drugs and are reluctant to warn the publicabout the pain that these drugs can cause.

Dr Anne MacGregor the director of clinical research at the City of London Migraine

Clinic estimates that as many as 20% of people seeking their help are suffering frommedication induced headaches. She believes the problem is also exacerbated whenGPs prescribe increasingly stronger medication when the condition doesnt respondto the initial mild prescription.

Why do you get headaches and migraines?

For many people the pain originates in the neck and not the head at all. In simpleterms there are structures in the neck that if damage or disturbed will make it seemlike there is pain in the head. It could be one of your spinal discs, bulging or torn. Itcould be the more delicate facet joints of the spine. Sometimes a nerve may have be-come irritated or compressed too... And if this is the case you will often also sufferproblems through your shoulders, arms and even fingers.

In addition, there are many other structures that could be causing the problem, likesmall muscles, tendons and ligaments.With all these potential problem areas the real key to solving the problem becomes

the ability to pin-point the damaged/disturbed structure so that the ideal therapy maybe used; if not, you could be wasting your time and money trying to get it fixed.

What is available to treat headaches and migraines?

After careful study and several trials it has been found that a particular manual therapyis very effective at stopping headaches and migraines without you having to resort toany sort of drugs. This treatment is a natural answer for all those people who thinkthat surgery, dietary supplements and prescription medications are the only optionto eliminate the problem.

How does our treatment work?

Advanced diagnostic equipment is utilised to pinpoint the damaged tissue/structurethat is causing the pain, whether its a disc, nerve or another part of the anatomy;and then very specific and precise manual procedures are taken to directly stimulatehealing of the damaged structure causing the pain. Most people feel very little dis-comfort during the procedure.

We've invested in the most advanced diagnostic technology in the world so thatwe can focus on the most important thing... To care about the person beyond thedis-ease.

Our rigorously selected diagnostic equipment and specially educated team have theknowledge and diagnostic information necessary to help ease headaches and mi-graines, naturally. Furthermore, because our manual techniques reverse the damageinstead of merely covering up the

symptoms you can look forward to along-term solution, and more robusthealth.

We are so confident we have the mostadvanced equipment of its kind thatwe will personally give you $100 ifyou can find another alternativehealth care center in Warren Countythat has better equipment. In addition,if you are not 100% happy after visitingthe Village Family Clinic for a consul-tation, examination and detailed re-port, we will make sure you get a refund in full, you wont pay a single penny.

We are very eager to help people looking for a natural solution to their problem,which is why we offer our initial consultation, examination and full report for just$29, our normal fee is $195. Youll get tested with the best equipment available any-where, and isnt it reassuring to know that world champions recommend our care?

According to the American HeartAssociation, relaxation that calmstension in the mind and body can be

a great way for men and women to combatstress. Deep breathing is one relaxationtechnique that's simple and effective whendone the right way. The AHA recommends

that men and women looking to relaxthrough deep breathing should first sit in a

comfortable position with their feet on thefloor and hands in their lap (lying down isalso acceptable). Once they have gotten inposition, men and women can close theireyes and picture themselves in a peacefulplace, holding the scene in their mind, allthe while inhaling and exhaling slowly and

Kristyn Fedich has always loved the

seashore. She also loves teaching

young children. Fedich recently put

the combination together with the release of

a charming new ocean-themed book, her

first publication.

"Marine life is fascinating to me, and my

favorite sea animal is a starfish," says local

author Kristyn Fedich. "They are such a

unique and strong ocean creature. I felt the

ocean theme was a great backdrop for a

children's book."

That book would become "Seamore the

Starfish," a tale of a young starfish who

goes on a journey of discovery through self-

fulfillment.

A first-grade teacher in Warren County

and a resident of Sussex County, Fedich

was able to fulfill a long-held desire as the

author of "Seamore," her first children's

story. "I decided to write it because I have

always wanted to write a children's book,"

says Fedich, who has been teaching for

eight years. "I read so many children's

Local Teacher's Love of Seashore Turns into Uplifting Children's Bookbooks to the students on a daily basis, that I

had so many ideas running through my

head. It has been a dream of mine, and I am

so thankful that I was able to make that

dream a reality with 'Seamore the Starfish.'"

For Fedich, "Seamore" goes beyond a

simple opportunity to write a kids' book. It

also has a strong message about the impor-

tance of self-esteem and self-discovery. "I

wanted children to understand that it is ok to

feel different and have uncertainties in life,

but that we must overcome them and try

new things no matter what the outcome,"

says Fedich. "Seamore is unsure of himself

and finds that in trying something new, he

discovers a sense of pride and self-confi-

dence which I feel is an important message

to send out to our children."Seamore is a quiet little starfish unsure

of the way he looks. Because of his unique

shape, he feels like he does not fit in and

cannot do the things that his other fish

friends can do. Seamore learns that it does

not matter what he looks like; he can still do

anything his heart desires! In the book,

Seamore learns and grows within himself,

while playing with his friends Rayna and

Eli under the sea.

The story line was all Fedich's and she

wrote all the words for the book. She found

a wonderful partner in Hazel Quintanilla,who drew the colorful illustrations to help

bring the book to life.

"I would love to write more books," says

Fedich, as she ponders what the possibilities

the future might bring for her writing. "I

enjoyed the process of writing my first

book, and have so many ideas flowing for

more adventures that Seamore could go on

with his friends!"

NJ Spinal Care Offers New Freezing TherapyBy Cheryl Conway

Athletes and sufferers from chronic conditions can

drain their ice baths and head on over to New

Jersey Spinal Care in Wayne for the latest thera-

peutic approach to recovery.NJ Spinal Care is one of four facilities in the tri-state area

to offer this new technological treatment called

Cryotherapy. Used by mostly athletes to treat all chronic

conditions as well as acute therapy, Cryotherapy is admin-

istered through a Cryotherapy Machine.

Whether in need for chiropractic care, physical therapy,

massage therapy or acupuncture treatments, patients of NJ

Spinal Care will receive the latest techniques in treatment,

even its most recent addition- Cryotherapy.

Cryotherapy, a physical therapy treatment, is the

newest, most cutting edge way to recover after exercise or

injury as well as promote the healing of chronic condi-

tions, says Dr. James Wolf of Wayne, facility director and

chiropractor at NJ Spinal Care. It is great for all chronic

conditions as well as acute recovery.

In its 12th year, NJ Spinal Care provides a multi-disci-

plinary approach to health care. Four chiropractors, four

physical therapists, one massage therapists and one

acupuncturist are all working together to achieve results,

says Wolf. This is one of the few places you can go and

have every aspect or chronic condition treated simultane-

ously.

Services such as class four laser, traditional modalities,

physical therapy, chiropractic care and acupuncture and

whole body cryotherapy are offered.

Wolf received the new Cryotherapy Machine just five

months ago. Whole-body Cryotherapy was first introduced

in Japan in 1978, and subsequently worldwide. Although

used in Europe by mostly professional athletes, the tech-

nology was recently brought over to the United States by

professional hockey players, explains Wolf.

Experts wanted to offer the treatment to the general ath-

lete, as well as those who suffer from chronic conditions.

Cryotherapy is the whole-body or localized use of

extremely cold temperatures in therapy from below zero

temperatures, from negative 230 degrees Fahrenheit to

negative 300 degrees Fahrenheit. The term "cryotherapy"

comes from the Greek words cryo meaning cold and

therapy meaning cure. The goal of cryotherapy treatment

is to offer better health and a faster recovery from injury,

with the reduction of inflammation, pain relief and

improved mobility.

In cold temperatures, blood vessels quickly constrict

forming a protective layer while the core body temperature

is maintained. The process naturally stimulates blood cir-

culation as the body's hormone, immune, and nervous sys-

tems are activated.

Patients receiving Cryotherapy are placed into the

Cryotherapy Machine, which is like a stand-up tanning

bed, explains Wolf. Users wear underwear, gloves, socks

and slippers and are inside the machine for two to three

minutes. Liquid nitrogen gets pumped into the chamber

lowering the temperature, making it the coldest place on

earth, says Wolf.

Dr. Wolfcontinued on next page

Wolf explains that while the gas gets

penetrated a half inch, the brain is triggered

into thinking you are freezing to death.

The organs, therefore respond, and act by

detoxifying the blood and getting rid of all

inflammatories. It oxidizes the blood,

bringing healing to the tissues, muscles and

joints.

Wolf describes the feeling similar to the

chill one feels when exiting a pool after an

evening swim, just slightly magnified. It

penetrates a half inch deep so you dont

have that bone chilling cold. Unlike ice, its

a systematic process that affects the blood.

Your body is feeling the cold, blood circu-

lates and is the healer.Wolf compares the Cryotherapy treat-

ment to an ice bath, but unlike an ice bath

that can take 20 minutes to work, the

Cryotherapy machine takes only two to

three minutes. Also with an ice bath, an

individual would have to wait 40 minutes

to get his body temperature back to normal;

whereas with Cryotherapy, it takes sec-

onds to get back to normal body tempera-

ture.

You dont feel miserable like you do in

an ice bath, says Wolf, with the

Cryotherapy treatment. There are also no

side effects.

You can accomplish more in two to

three minutes, what used to take 25 to 30

minutes, says Wolf. Its the least invasiveway to heal the soft tissues.

To be a candidate of the Cryotherapy

treatment, patients must be 14 years old or

older and can not have a history of blood

clots.

The only other locations in the Tri-State

area to have a Cryotherapy machine are the

New York Knicks,New York Ranges, and

another practitioner.

Its a newer technology, says Wolf,

As a faculty we try to institute new tech-

nologies. The distributor of the machine isin Texas.

Statistics have shown a very high suc-

cess rate, says Wolf, especially in the area

of herniated discs, shoulder, knee and hip

injuries. Most patients include the average

weekend warrior, college and professional

football players and high school athletes.

NJ Spinal Care offers a free consultation

to determine whether a patient would be a

good candidate for the Cryotherapy treat-

ment. For more information, call NJ Spinal

Care at 973-942-4449.

It was the perfect blend

of beautiful weather,

classic cars, a fun venue

and a great DJ. To top it

off, $27,000 was netted for

the Joan Knechel Cancer

Center and other local caus-

es. The event was the annu-

al Memorial Motor

Madness Car Show held on

the Sunday of Memorial

Day weekend and spon-

sored by the Hackettstown

Rotary.

Three thousand people,

including spectators, ven-

dors, and exhibitors helped

to make the 20th anniver-

sary of the event a day to

remember. Four hundred

and twenty-five cars graced

the MARS Chocolate/North

America parking lot.

We were thrilled with

the support for this 20th

Memorial Motor Madness

car show. While there were

few years that welcomed as

many cars or more, we had a

record number of guests

from all over the Metro

area. It clearly is the biggest

and best car show weve

had. And because the num-

ber of members of the

Hackettstown Rotary Club

has grown, we had more

volunteers than ever, mak-

smooth operation, said

Hackettstown Rotary Club

president, Kevin Guyette.

While there were a vari-

ety of cars on display, it was

Jerry Ziemba of Long

Valley who walked away

with Best Overall for his

1967 SS Camaro. DJ Doc

South did the honors as MC.

Meanwhile, seemingly all

around and looking down

on it all, were the smiling

faces of the M&Ms gang.

Our deep gratitude

[goes] to MARS for gra-

ciously hosting the eventand making everyone wel-

come. They do a spectacular

job of handling all of the

small and large on-site

details that make an event

like ours so successful, and

our sponsors provided the

financial support that will

make it possible for the

Rotary Club to make a sig-

nificant donation to the Joan

Knechel Cancer Center at

Hackettstown Regional

Medical Center. It sounds

trite, but we could not have

done it without them,

shared Guyette.

It takes a number of peo-

ple to help put on such an

event, but Guyette noted

one person who deserved

special thanks:

If I may, I would also

like to publicly thank our

car show committee chair

Robert Eberle of Long

Valley. Bob really does have

this car show in his head,

and there is not a single

detail he overlooks in his

passion for perfection, not

only for the event, but also

for making this a great

introduction to Rotary.

CCM Creative Leadership Club DonatesHandmade Soap to Womens Center

The Creative Leadership Club (CLC)

at County College of Morris (CCM)

recently made and donated approxi-

mately 25 bars of soap for clients of the

Womens Center, which is located at the

college.

The CLC was created three years ago by

CCM employees to establish an even

stronger connection with the local commu-

nity.

Each bar of soap was scented, colored,wrapped with a small flower or twig, and

included a note tag from a CLC member.

This is just one of the many projects the

club has completed since its formation.

Previous projects have included decorating

pillowcases for troops overseas, designing

and creating fall grapevine wreaths for fam-

ilies to decorate their homes built by Morris

Habitat for Humanity, and creating fall nap-

kin decorations to grace the meal trays

delivered by the Morris County Nutrition

Program, formerly known as Meals on

Wheels.Club members meet usually once a

month during their lunch time.

Melanie M. Nowling, resident of

Netcong, and Certified PiYo

Instructor, is bringing the newest

fitness phenomenon to our area, PiYo. Themom of two and Independent Beachbody

Coach states that this revolutionary fitness

program, soon to be released by renowned

fitness mogul Beachbody, is perfect for any-

one looking to recreate their body without

damaging it. According to Ms. Nowling,

PiYo gives you the same results as the high

intensity Beachbody programs you are

more familiar with like Insanity and T25,

without the jumping and jarring effects on

your joints. Students leaving from her

weekly class, held in the Netcong SchoolGymnasium, are just as sweaty and winded

as those having completed an hour long car-

dio session.

A typical PiYo class is made up of ten

different components ranging from thewarm-up to lower body focus, full body

fusion, core, and of course lots of planks

and the PiYo Push Up! Ms. Nowling shared

this class during her FITCLUB program at

the Netcong School in May and June as well

as at local charity events. If you would like

to bring this program to your community or

fitness center, contact Ms. Nowling at

Local Expert Shows NJ Parents HowTo Get The Most Money For Their

Childrens College Education

New Jersey parents suffering withfinding ways to pay for their chil-

drens college education can final-

ly get the solutions to their college funding

problems.

Most families who earn $75,000 or more

and own a home assume they are not eligi-

ble for financial aid. However, most fami-

lies with income over $100,000 are actually

eligible for some types of need based

financial aid. They simply need to know

how to get their fair share.

According to Newell, there are several

easy things parents can do to substantially

increase the amount of money they get from

colleges. For example, There are several

schools that historically give better finan-

cial aid packages than others, says Newell.

If families do proper income and asset

planning before filling out the forms, they

can increase eligibility by thousands of dol-

lars.

Newell offers a few simple tips to par-

ents with college funding problems. If a

parent has only half an hour to end their col-lege funding problems, I would suggest the

following:

1. Make sure they do not over-value their

home on the financial aid forms

2. Try not to save money in the childs

name as it weighs more heavily than the

parents savings

3. Dont be afraid to negotiate with a col-

lege for a better financial aid package.

Newell offers New Jersey parents with

college funding problems a free booklet

that explains the 9 most common college

funding problems and solutions. Free copies

will be distributed at the seminar listed

below.

Mr. Newell will be conducting a free

one-hour seminar for parents of college

bound high school juniors and seniors at the

following location: The Washinton

Township Public Library on Monday, June

23, 2014 at 7:00 p.m.

Reservation only! Seating is limited.

By Cheryl Conway

Cars lined the street on Saturday, May

31, to celebrate the 65th Anniversary

of Bills Luncheonette onDover

Chester Rd. in Ironia.

A few hundred people attended The Old

Fashioned Block Party from 2 p.m. until

dark enjoying free hot dogs, hamburgers,

ice-cream and prizes to reminisce on days

past and be the first to see the newly reno-

vations to the luncheonette. Family, friends,

current and former employees gathered at

the building that dates back more than 150

years, and had been used as a general store

and post office before converted to a lunch-

eonette.

Third-generation family owner, Bruce

Button, 28 of Madison, closed the lunch-

eonette from May 26 to May 30 to complete

some minor renovations before the gather-

ing. Among the improvements included a

new floor and installation of booths. The

well-needed changes provided a facelift

while maintaining the character of the

charming old structure.

Some were concerned on how it would

turn out, says Kathy Crowley-Sheehy of

Randolph, mother of Button, and daughter

of Bill, who ran the business as Bills

Luncheonette & General Store until he died

eight years ago. Most were happily sur-

prised and loved the remodeling. They

were thrilled we kept the old feel and

charm that was there.

Located just on the border of Chester and

Ironia in Randolph on Dover Chester Rd.,

Bills Luncheonette still thrives after 65

years of business enjoyed by residents in

surrounding towns of Randolph, Mendham,

Chester and Roxbury. Known for good

prices, cleanliness and old country-style

diner ambiance, Bills Luncheonette is

open for breakfast and lunch.

Some of the customers favorite entrees

include omelets like the Chile Cheddar

Omelet, home fries, pancakes, handmade

burgers, fantastic homemade Chile, milk-

shakes and egg-creams.

The specialties are named after people

such as the Momlette, an omelet made

with spinach, tomatoes and swiss cheese;

Mister D Sandwich, named after a long-

time customer, with taylor ham, egg, swiss

cheese, fried onions on a sub roll; Pops

Pudding, grandpas new secret recipe of rice

pudding.

Button plans to add some healthier items

to his menu, more salad options next to his

existing chicken Caesar salad; and plans to

increase his ice-cream selection. Customers

Local Hub Celebrates 65 Years With Block Party

can get ice-cream cones, sundaes, milk-

shakes, egg creams, root beer floats and ice-

cream sodas.

With the remodeling we got a new ice

cream dipping cabinet with eight flavors of

Welsh Farms Ice Cream, says Sheehy.

Bill's has always been known for great

milkshakes!

He also plans to keep the restaurant open

a little later until 4 p.m. or 5 p.m. in the near

future to attract more customers who want

to eat or enjoy an ice-cream later in the day.

We get a lot of people that want to come

in at three oclock, says Sheehy. Kids

school.

Working on and off at his grandfathers

business since he was 12, Button became

the full-fledged owner about one year

ago.

When I would come into work, hewould wipe tables when he was three years

old, says Sheehy. He learned from his

grandfather when he worked here as a

teenager. He started to learn a lot more

about the business; learned the tricks in

cooking and dealing with customers. You

kind of had to do everything when you

worked here.Before Button took over, Sheehys broth-

er, Reggie, ran the business for seven years

but passed it on after becoming a police

officer in Morris Twp. Reggie took over the

business in 2006 when their dad, Bill, died.

At that time, he removed the shelves and

got rid of the groceries, but kept the lunch-

eonette.

The general store part wasn't doing wellin recent years because of all the conven-

ience stores and additional supermarkets

coming to the area, so when my Dad, Bill,

passed away, the grocery portion went with

him, says Sheehy. We still sell anything

we use though. If someone needs eggs or

milk or a pound of ham, we can make that

happen. We still sell newspapers, orange

juice, milk, eggs, baked goods, snacks, and

also sell a lot of take-out coffee and sand-

wiches.

Bill Crowley had established BillsLuncheonette & General Store in 1949.

Prior to that, the building was used as a gen-

eral store, owned by Bills dad, Robert

Bob Crawley. Bob purchased the struc-

ture in 1941 after moving his family and

goat farm from Kansas to Ironia that same

year.

The origin of the building dates back to

1860, and was owned by David Stryker who

operated it as Strykers General Store.

There he sold butter and eggs from local

farmers, as well as milk, flour, sugar,molasses, tea, coffee, candies, packaged and

canned goods, says Sheehy.

It was the only place to buy necessities

for miles and miles around, she says. The

building still retains many of its original

windows and doors and lots of character. Its

history is long and colorful, and the com-

munity has been using it as a meeting place

for over a century and a half.When the local iron boom hit, the area

grew and with that the need for a post

office, she explains. In 1871, Stryker

became the very first Postmaster of Ironia

and the Ironia Post Office was created

inside his general store. Stryker eventually

passed on the general store and building to

his son, David R. Stryker, who also became

a Postmaster of Ironia.

When the younger Stryker was looking

to retire, Bob Crowley knew he had to

keep the store going in his new hometown,so in 1941 he purchased it for around $65,

which included $25 for the cash register,

describes Sheehy. The Crowleys also took

over the post office, with two of his daugh-

ters serving as Postmistress and then Bill as

Postmaster, a position he held for 38 years

starting in 1944.

The whole Crowley family chipped in

to keep the store going during this time,

says Sheehy.

tion to the general store and a goat-dairy

tim for bullies and abductors using fun sce-

narios and age appropriate role plays rather

than just teaching physical defense tech-

niques.

Children leave the seminar with theinformation and new choices they can uti-

lize, right away, to help take care of them-

selves when they are home alone, at school,

or simply away form their parents watchful

eyes. Ideal for scout troops badge require-

ments.

farm down the street,Crowley, decided to

pass on the general store/Ironia Post-Office

to his son Bill.

Bill decided right away to add the lunch-

eonette to the general store/ post office andthus Bills Luncheonette & General Store

was born in 1949.

He wanted to make it his own thing,

says Sheehy. He was very dedicated, run-

ning the place from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. at

night. My father was a character. My father

threw people out if they had their hat on

backwards. It was his way of keeping con-

trol and making sure that he ran a respectful

place. He was old-schooled. It was an insult

when you wore your hat backwards. You

couldnt walk in with mud on your boots; he

would yell at people for that.

In addition to the luncheonette, Bill

helped to plan and build the IroniaShopping Center in 1970, when he moved

the Ironia Post Office to that location just

100 yards away. He remained Postmaster

until his retirement in 1982; ran both the

post office and luncheonette in the two loca-

tions every day; and also managed the

Ironia Shopping Center for many years.

Married twice with 11 children, Bill had

a lot of helping hands.

We all worked here, says Sheehy, an

Local Hub Celebrates 65 Years...continued from page 19

employee there since she was 11. The rule

was you had to be able to reach the counter

with a cup of coffee. Sheehy waited on

customers, cleaned, dusted, swept, cooked.

Over the years, so much has taken placeinside the walls of this building, says

Sheehy. It has sold wagons and wagon

wheels, clothes, hay, feed, coal, kerosene,

tobacco, ice cream, fresh local dairy and

farm products, groceries, drugs, toys, pizza,

deli items, anything from soup to nuts. It

has been an outlet for Sears & Roebuck, a

gas station, a deer-checking station, a pizze-

ria, as well as a club meeting hall. For

decades it had a juke box and pinball and

video games, too.

Though times do change, since 1860,

this building continues to be the heart and

hub of the surrounding community, saysSheehy.

Its a meeting place, she says. Its

where people have come in; you strike up a

conversation or you run into a neighbor. So

many time people come in and see someone

they havent seen in 30 years. Its that kind

of place where everybody talks to every-

body. My son always says, its almost like

a bar but without the alcohol.

Millions of students participate in

online learning each year, and

that number continues to grow,

according to the Sloan Consortium. A grow-

ing number of colleges and universities now

offer distance learning courses, and some

students find it possible to complete their

degrees without ever visiting campus.

Online learning enables students to take

classes according to their own schedules

and complete coursework without having to

commute to campus. This is particularly

attractive to students who work full time or

have families. Convenience is not the only

reason to consider online education.

According to a 2009 meta study from the

United States Department of Education, stu-

dents who took online courses performed

better than those taking the same courses

through traditional instruction. Students

who mixed online learning with traditional

classroom work performed even better.

Long days spent riding the waves or

diving to the deepest depths of the

ocean can tone the body and give it

a sun-kissed glow. Many people find their

appearances benefit from warm weather

and time spent outdoors, provided they are

wearing sunscreen and taking precautions

against skin damage. But a few parts of the

body may pay the price for time spent

enjoying the sand, surf and other elements

of summer.

Hair

Saltwater, chlorine, ultraviolet rays, and

hot, humid weather can certainly wreak

havoc on hair. After a day spent soaking up

summer sun, men and women may experi-

ence breakage, loss of color, frizziness, and

tangles. Healthy, beautiful hair requires pro-

tection and a few changes to your normal

grooming procedure.

* Swim cap: They may look like some-

thing your grandmother would wear, but

nothing protects the hair and scalp from

environmental effects better than a swim

cap. A rubber cap keeps hair contained

underneath, preventing snags and tangles,

while shielding hair from salt, chemicals

and the sun. A swimming cap is a smart idea

even for those with short hair, as it can pre-

vent sunburn on the delicate skin of the

scalp, an area highly susceptible to sun

damage.

* Sunscreen: Sunscreen is not just for the

body. Certain formulations are designed to

be sprayed on the hair and scalp.

Additionally, certain shampoos and condi-

tioners may protect hair from UVrays, pro-

viding further defense against the sun.

* Conditioner: Dryness and breakage is

common when hair is damaged. Deep con-

ditioning can restore some vitality to hair

that has been dried out by the sun and surf.

In addition to weekly conditioning treat-

ments in the shower, apply a leave-in condi-

tioner to the hair prior to going to the beach

or in the pool. This conditioner will offer

another layer of protection and help shield

the hair follicles from damage while pre-

venting chlorine from penetrating.

* Baking soda treatment: Some of the

chemicals in pool water, namely copper

algaecides, can tint blonde hair green. To

combat this, rinse hair with a mixture of

spring water and a teaspoon of baking soda

to thoroughly clean away chemical

residues.

* Overprocessing: It may be better to

wait until the summer season is over before

utilizing chemical processes at the salon.

Coloring, getting a perm or straightening

hair may compromise already taxed tresses.

Plus, color tends to fade more quickly in the

sun and after exposure to chlorinated water.

* Brushing: Avoid brushing wet hair,

which can rip out hair from the roots and

lead to breakage. Comb through wet locks

and go over gently with a brush.

Feet

Open-toed shoes or even walking bare-

foot is popular come summertime. But

strolls in the sand or around town can cause

dangerous or uncomfortable conditions to

the feet if cautions is not taken.

* Microorganisms: Warm, damp condi-

tions can create a veritable breeding ground

for the microorganisms that lead to plantar

warts, athlete's foot, ringworm, and other

infections. Closed-in shoes will provide

protection against these organisms. If your

feet do get wet, change out of your shoes

and dry your feet.

* Sunburn: People often overlook their

feet when applying sunscreen. Spending

long hours in the sun can expose the feet to

the same harmful rays that are baking other

areas of your body. According to the

American College of Foot and Ankle

Surgeons, people often do not apply sun-

screen to their feet when they apply sun-

screen to the rest of their bodies. But skin

cancer can occur on the feet as well.

* Support: Some summer shoes tend to

be flimsy and lack support. Wearing this

type of footwear can lead to ankle, leg and

back pain. Supportive summer footwear

may be more expensive than dollar-store

flip-flops, but always look for shoes that

provide good sole and ankle support.

* Burns: Hot pavement, sand and other

surfaces can easily burn the bottoms of your

feet. Test the temperature before walking

barefoot. Better yet, wear a water shoe or a

sandal to protect your feet from hot temper-

atures and any broken shells or debris that

may cut the soles of your feet.

* Pedicures: Visiting a salon for a pedi-

cure is a great way to keep feet healthy.

Pedicures typically involve soaking, mas-

sage, moisturization, and toenail care.

Always visit a salon that uses sterilized

tools to prevent infection, or bring your own

set of tools to ensure cleanliness.

Ready For Summer?

(+ Refrigerant)

By Cheryl Conway

Annual Field Day for amateur radio

operators is coming up and the

local radio group, Splitrock

Amateur Radio Association is tuned in and

ready for this years competition.Sponsored by the American Radio Relay

League (AARL), the national organization

for amateur radio operators, more than

350,000 radio amateurs plan to gather on

Saturday, June 28 through Sunday June 29at

various locations around the country for the

Annual AARL Field Day. The local

Splitrock Amateur Radio Association plans

to set up shop at Horseshoe Lake in

Succasunna.

About 60 members of the local groupfrom Roxbury, Mt. Olive, Randolph,

Hopatcong, Landing and Rockaway are

looking forward to this years informal con-

test, practice for emergencies and fun.

I enjoy talking to people and making

some contacts around the globe, says Bill

Sohl of Mt. Olive, a member of Splitrock

Amateur Radio Association (SARA) for the

past 10 years. Its been something thats

peaked my curiosity. Ive enjoyed being a

ham. Its got to be fun or else why do it?

Established in 1972, the SARA was

formed when a group of interested amateurs

got together and built an amateur radio

repeater from used commercial equipment.

It was located on a radio tower on the north

end of Rockaway Township, near the

Splitrock reservoir, how the club got itsname. The call sign was initially WR2ADB

The repeater had been moved around

several times over the years and was moved

to its current location in June 2011 on top of

a cellular phone tower in Roxbury.

Field day had been established and is

known as the most popular on the air

event. Friend, groups and clubs throughout

the U.S. and Canada set up and operate

from remote locations to picnic, campout,

practice for emergencies and compete bycontacting as many other stations as possi-

ble and operate radio gear in abnormal situ-

ations, according the ARRL website.

Field day is a day to stop by, say

hello, says Sohl, and get the public

involved to learn about the ARRL. His

group, SARA, will have an information

table at field day.

The goal of field day is to provide

emergency communication; to provide

readiness. He recalls some years back

when serious flooding in Jefferson Twp.

Field Day Promotes Interest To Radio Hamscaused the radio system with emergency

services and police to go underwater.

Individuals with ham radio licenses

were providing communications, says

Sohl, during the incident.

Field day involves a 24-hour operatingperiod from 2 p.m. Saturday to 2 p.m.

Sunday. Hams will set up their equipment 8

a.m. that day. The objective is to show our

ability to be ready with equipment that can

be deployed with three or four stations; put-

ting stations up; raising antennas; collecting

antennas; then go on the air 2 p.m., into the

night and into the afternoon the next day.

We all help set up, says Sohl, and then

everyone takes turns working in shifts to

operate the system. We are a three-classoperation, says Sohl, a medium sized club

compared to larger ones that operate with

seven or even eight stations.

Sohl brings the equipment which

continued on next page



27/40

includes a VHS Station which is made up of

a receiver (less than 10 pounds); AC/DC

converter; transmitter; and antenna system.

Besides setting up shop, hams need toknow how to communicate with other hams

and they compete to see how many con-

tacts they can make. You can get awards

from reaching certain operators.

In previous years, Sohls group has made

more than 1,000 contacts in the 24-hour

period. In the U.S.exists more than 700,000

amateur radio individuals, says Sohl.

Field day is also the time to educate oth-

ers about amateur radio, says Sohl. People,

especially kids, at the park stop in as they

are curious to what the group is doing.You have to keep the youth involved,

says Sohl, so they can attract them and peak

their interest.

Sohls interest in radio, electricity and

electronics dates back to memories of his

dad who had a short wave radio when he

was growing up. Sohl got his first radio

license in 1958, and has been an expert in

this hobby for the past 10 years, renewing

his license every decade.

In 1963, Sohl earned his associates

degree in electronics; worked for IBM as an

electric repairman of office equipment; and

in 1966 worked four years as an electrical

technician on a Navy Destroyer ship in the

U.S. Navy. When he got out of the Navy, heworked as a telecommunications craftsman

for companies such as AT&T, Verizon and

Bell Laboratories.

Members of SARA share interests in

amateur radio with a common goal of talk-

ing in greater distances with low power

equipment through a centralized site to

broadcast on a different frequency, explains

Sohl. Hams can specialize in 50 areas such

as building equipment, operating in differ-

ent modes, and using Morris Code, digital

data and more.I tend to operate VHF, very high fre-

quency, above 30 megahertz, says Sohl,

with the ability to contact with other ham

operators around the globe. Sohl says he

has been able to talk to people as far as

Europe, South America and Canada.

The SARA meets every second Tuesday

of the month at the Mt. Arlington

Community Center. Call Bill Sohl at 201-
