    Elementary Owls

    celebrated Dr.

    Seuss “Oh the Places

    You’ll Go” Field Day, onFri., May 22, at the South

    Orange school.

    Physical Educators Marci

    Grosholz and Eric Dunn

    organized and supervised

    an all-day event reinforcing

    core curriculum literacy

    anchors within develop-mentally appropriate and

    cooperative movement

    activities. All areas of 

    Marshall School’s learning

    community were utilizedincluding the front yard,

    gymnasium, cafeteria and

    Dr. Seuss’ books were

    brought to life by students!In the front yard, red

    and white striped potato

    sacks were jumping for

    “The Cat in The Hat,” stu-

    dents magically grew aLorax mustache while

    planting “trees” and read-a-

    louds were led by animated

    parent volunteers.

    Transitioning inside,

    explorers ventured across,under, over and through

    obstacles for “Oh The

    Places You’ll Go!”Nearby, Thing 1 and Thing

    2 linked up to balancegreen eggs and ham finally

    listening to “Sam I Am.”

    In the backyard, red fish

    and blue fish jumped high

    to the sky out from theoceanic parachute, and Mr.

    and Mrs. Mayor communi-

    cated special team chal-

    lenges from Horton. The

    elephant reappeared in“Horton Hatches the Egg,”while students nested their

    elephant-birds on hippity

    hoppers.

    Lastly, the Grinch went “sledding” to

    the center of Whoville taking and then

    returning the presents as does the main

    character in “How the Grinch StoleChristmas.”

    It was a fun-filled day that finished with

    a slide show of pictures documenting allspecial memories shared in the day’s

    events.New Age Physical Education is high-

    lighted at this end of the year event and

    showcases the moving learner.

    The motto “what makes you move, also

    makes you think” is very active at

    Marshall Elementary, both in physical edu-cation and in the classrooms. It is a prior-

    ity to make the mind-body connections

    with careful consideration of cooperativespirit. It is critical for our students to bal-

    ance all domains of motor learning equilat-erally while having a positively fun learn-

    ing experience.

    by Kerry Breen

    This year, U.S. News’s education rankings found

    that both Maplewood and Livingston had highschools ranked among the top 50 in the state, with

    Columbia High School in Maplewood being placed at 41and Livingston High School being ranked at 21.

    The schools were also well-ranked on a national level,

    with Columbia High School being placed at 1,006 in thecountry and Livingston High School being ranked 396.

    The rankings were based on data collected by the govern-

    ment during the 2012- 2013 school year, and combines a

    variety of information, such as test scores and student pro-ficiency in several subjects. There were 19,753 high

    schools nationwide were included in the rankings.

    Livingston High School is seen as one of the best high

    schools in the state, having been awarded the ‘gold’ rank-ing by U.S. News. Only 2.5 percent of schools nationwidewere ranked at a gold level. Being ranked 396 in the coun-

    try, it is also one of the best high schools nationwide. As

    of 2013, there were 1,809 students and 149 teachers,

    resulting in a 12:1 student-teacher ratio. The school also

    Ranked Among Top Fifty...

    has a STEM (science, technology, engi-neering, and mathematics) ranking of 59.

    “Livingston High School has tradition-

    ally done well in the annual rankings bythe various reports published each year

    that rank the top high schools in America,”

    said Livingston district CommunicationsManager Marilyn Lehren.

    The data also takes into account test

    scores from state tests, exit exams, and

    advanced placement exams. According to

    this data, 98 percent of Livingston’s stu-dents are proficient in language, and 95

    percent proficient in mathematics. In both

    subjects, the majority of students scored on

    an advanced proficiency level.

    Livingston High School also offers a

    variety of advanced placement (AP) class-

    es. There are 58 students enrolled in theseclasses, which are college-level courses.

    At the end of the year, students take the AP

    exams, and those that score high enough

    on the exams can use them to fulfill col-

    lege credits; 96 percent of studentsenrolled in AP courses pass these courses.

    The average AP student takes three exams;

    92 percent of students score well enough

    on these exams to use them for college

    credits.

    Columbia High School in Maplewood

    is also well ranked, and was awarded the

    ‘silver’ ranking by U.S. News. As of 2013,

    there were 1,856 students and 155 teach-

    ers, resulting in a student-teacher ratio of 12:1. According to the data gathered by

    U.S. News, 96 percent of students in

    Columbia High School are proficient in

    language; 85 percent are proficient in

    mathematics. In both subjects, the majori-ty of students score on an average profi-

    ciency level.

    While Columbia High Schools offers

    advanced placement classes for students,

    only 43 percent participate in these classes.Of these students, 89 percent of them pass

    their courses. On average, students takethree exams; 87 percent score well enough

    to use these exams for college credits.

    “We have steadily increased over the

    last several years the students ready andwanting to step up to those challenges,

    even this year seeing our numbers of stu-

    dents enrolled in AP for next year signifi-

    cantly more than this current school year,”

    said Columbia High School PrincipalElizabeth Aaron.

    “We are proud of the way we’ve been

    recognized in these rankings, but will con-

    tinue to measure ourselves first and fore-

    most by the work we do to make sure

    every student at CHS is engaged, chal-

    lenged, and nurtured every day,” she said.“Rather than being about the way a school

    is ‘run’, I think it’s more about the culture

    we create for our students in terms of what

    we expect from them, which is excellence

    in all areas – their academic efforts, theirsocial growth and development, and their

    contributions and participation in all areas

    of school life. Student effort and achieve-

    ment in those areas are what really help

    schools and students create the kind of achievement these rankings try to meas-

    ure.”The rankings were also determined by

    calculating the school’s college readiness

    index (CRI). The college readiness index

    is determined by AP participation and test-ing. To get the highest available CRI rank-

    ing, 100, each twelfth-grade student would

    have to take and pass at least one AP exam

    before or during their senior year.

    Livingston High School was ranked with aCRI of 56.5, and Columbia High School

    had a ranking of 39.4.

    The arrival of the vacation seasonbrings on the “bed bug” season,

    according to Stan Grabowski, gen-

    eral manager of Green Heat NJ.Com

    LLC, a New Jersey State Licensed PestControl Company that treats propertiesfor bed bug infestations.

    As the country enters vacation mode of 

    sun and fun, travelers should be aware that

    bed bugs are an ongoing problem and con-

    cern for the public. These little pests are

    around and they travel too; they are actu-ally hitch hikers. The bed bug maneuvers

    their travel through the luggage and cloth-

    ing of the unsuspecting traveler. Their

    infestations can be found almost any-

    where. Hotels, motels, summer rentals,even the quaint little bed & breakfast can

    be a contributor to passing on the spread

    of these little creatures. Some of the finest

    brands in the hospitality business, “well

    known names,” in hotels/motels have had

    to confront infestations.The bed bug problem has touched on

    more than one industry. Aside from the

    hospitality industry, the bed bug has also

    been found in transportation, like rail and

    air travel. They have also been found in

    movie theaters, day care centers and sum-

    mer overnight camps. The presence of 

    bed bugs can be found almost anywhere,

    and the traveler should become aware of this, especially when staying in

    motel/hotels.

    Here are a few preventative tips the

    traveler could do that may help prevent

    bringing them home. At check- in, inspectall furniture, not just beds when renting

    rooms or summer rentals. Look inside the

    drawers of bedside stands, bureaus and

    head boards for the little insects, look for

    what appear as little dots; sometimes littledots are bugs. Sometimes these bugs can’t

    be seen because they could be inside thecrack and crevices of the furniture, but

    look anyway. Inspect the pillows and the

    sheets; it won’t hurt.

    It would be a good practice to askabout any prior issues with bed bugs at

    the front desk of a motel/hotel at check in.

    If renting a house at the shore or in the

    mountains ask the owner or agent outright

    ‘has the property ever had a bed bugproblem?’ Don’t be shy about asking.

    Beware! Bed Bug Season Has Arrived Pull back the sheets and inspect the

    bedding and the mattress. Keep clothes

    off the floors and furniture. Keep luggage

    either elevated off the floor or place in a

    large contractor size plastic trash bag. Itis also a good idea when traveling to keep

    all clothes inside plastic bags or on hang-

    ers. It may sound like paranoia or evenover kill but these few steps when taken

    may just prevent someone from bringing

    home an unwanted guest, “Bed Bugs.”

    In the spring of 1915, poppies blos-

    somed across the battlefields of 

    Belgium, France, and Gallipoli. Eversince then, the poppy has become synony-

    mous with a great loss of life in war. It is

    also known as the ‘memorial flower’ of the

    American Legion Auxiliary. The poppies

    are distributed by members of the organi-zation, and donations are collected to aid

    veterans and those who are currently serv-

    ing active duty.

    American Legion Auxiliary Unit 43 in

    Florham Park distributes these poppies

    locally, with 100 percent of the proceedsbeing donated to Lyons Hospital, where

    they are used to help veterans, both physi-cally and mentally. The poppies are also

    used to foster patriotism throughout the

    community, reminding those who see themabout the sacrifices that soldiers make for

    their country.

    The poppies are distributed all year

    round at local businesses, such as

    Foodtown and Stop and Shop. Those

    organizing the donation are required towrite formal letters requesting permission

    to hand out the poppies, and can only hope

    for the best when receiving responses.Post President Marybeth Valentino

    would like to express her gratitude for

    those companies that do allow them to dis-

    tribute their poppies.

    “We really appreciate the stores that dosupport us,” she said.

    These poppies were also distributed

    during the Memorial Day Parade on Mon.,

    May 25. The ladies of the legion’s post

    were gathered on the float and distributed

    poppies to the crowd, a reminder of thesacrifices made by soldiers.

    While there is no price attached to the

    poppies, those who take them are encour-

    aged to donate. One hundred percent of thedonations are sent to veterans.“When you see a poppy, get a poppy,”

    said Valentino. “Everything we do goes

    towards a good cause.”

    One hundred percent of the proceeds

    are donated towards Lyons Hospital, a vet-

    eran’s hospital in Lyons. The LegionAuxiliary also interacts with the inpatients

    there, organizing activities such as outings

    to the movies and baseball games, cooking

    dinner for the patients, or playing games

    with them.These poppies are not the only symbols

    that are given out by the American Legion

    Auxiliary. Also distributed are blue and

    gold stars, each with different meanings.

    The blue stars are a symbol of those whohave family members currently serving.

    The gold stars are displayed to represent

    and honor those who have been killed in

    combat. However, these stars are not as

    easy to get a hold of as the poppies are;

    instead, they must be requested by thefamily of those who served.

    Those who wish to become members of 

    the American Legion Auxiliary can find

    out more information about Unit 43 onBottle Hill Day, held in Madison. Theannual event takes place on the first

    Saturday in October, and is used to cele-

    brate the town. The Legion Auxiliary often

    sets up a booth there, hoping to inform the

    public about their organization and recruit

    new members.The American Legion Auxiliary is the

    largest patriotic women’s service organiza-

    tion in the world, with nearly 10,500 posts.

    These units are also found on a global

    level, located in several different countries,

    along with being present in every state inthe country.

    New Jersey Blood Services is con-ducting local blood drives areawhich is open to the public. The fol-

    lowing drives are scheduled:June 17 - Greater Morristown YMCA,Cedar Knolls; 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.June 19 - Shoprite, Flanders; 1 p.m. to 7p.m.June 25 - St. Francis Health Resort,Denville; 1 p.m. to 7 p.m.June 25 - Moose Lodge 541, Dover; 1 p.m.to 7 p.m.June 26 - Madison Area YMCA, Madison;2 p.m. to 8 p.m.June 29 - Knights of Columbus 3665,Netcong; 3 p.m. to 9 p.m.June 30 - Wyndham Hamilton Park Hotel,Florham Park; noon to 6 p.m.

    New Jersey Blood Services, a division of New York Blood Center (NYBC) is askingfor 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 drivesneed to be scheduled to meet projected hos-pital demand. Current inventory of severalblood types is running below the desired tar-

    get 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 DonorRecruitment Andrea Cefarelli. “There arealways reasons but we have to overcomethat for the sake of hospital patients whoneed us.”

    “This is one of the toughest times of theyear,” Cefarelli added. “We’re asking forour dedicated supporters to roll up theirsleeves to make sure we’re able to provideour 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 day thereare patients who depend on the transfusionof red blood cells, platelets and plasma tostay alive. But blood and blood productscan’t be manufactured. They can only comefrom volunteer blood donors who take anhour to attend a blood drive or visit a donorcenter.

    To donate blood or for information onhow to organize a blood drive, call 1-800-933-2566. Visit: www.nybloodcenter.org.

    By Cheryl Conway 

    No matter the stage, a little bit of com-fort goes a long way for victims andfamily members fighting cancer,

    from diagnosis to treatment.

    Hyla Weiss and Suzanne Unger, both of Livingston, Jodi Bloom of Short Hills andseveral others can relate to this all to welland have formed a non-profit group calledComfort Project 360. As partners with SaintBarnabas Medical Center in Short Hills,Comfort Project 360 was established abouteighteen months ago and has already madegreat strides.

    The purpose of Comfort Project 360 is toenhance the patient and family experiencewhile dealing with the diagnosis of cancer.

    Whether through renovating the currentfacility, providing more services in the wait-ing area, offering welcome bags to patientsand even a cozy robe, Comfort Project 360has been warming up the place.

    “Saint Barnabas was taking excellentcare of the body but thru research and arti-cles there was evidence that treating themind body and spirit of the patient was whathelped in the healing process,” explainsUnger, co-founder of the Comfort Project

    360 along with Weiss.Unger’s mother was diagnosed with

    breast cancer at the age of 48 and was treat-ed at Sloan Kettering since she lived in NewYork.

    “I spent a lot of time going with her fortreatment; she had both radiation andchemo,” says Unger. “She passed away at54. Again the care at Sloan was excellent butthe environment at times was cold and ster-ile and that definitely had an impact on mypsyche as well as my mothers.”

    Weiss had gone through a similar experi-ence when she went through radiation andsurgery in 2010 for breast cancer as a patientat Saint Barnabas.

    “I found the experience very difficult on

    my spirit and felt there were some smalltouches that have improved the experience,”explains Weiss. “The care has been great,but it was the whole experience,” like wait-ing for a hospital gown, in a space a “littledingy,” if felt like “patients waiting in a gal-ley. I felt like I was staring cancer in theface. I found it very difficult on my spirit.”

    Two years later, Weiss faced her secondbout of cancer in her other breast. Again,with this experience, she describes, “it was

    Comfort Project Treats Mind And Spirit For Those Battling Cancer

    cold; I didn’t feel comforted. I felt that morecould have been done during the time I wasthere.”

    Shortly after, Weiss “saw Suzanne at afriend’s birthday luncheon and we got totalking and told her of my experience andmy feelings and she shared with me her per-

    sonal experience with her mother andtogether we said that we were going to makea difference.”

    The two women shared their idea withothers and Created Comfort Project 360 totransform areas of the facility. Weiss

    explains that the name- Comfort Project 360- “representscaring for the whole patient: body mind and spirit.”

    The idea is “treating the whole patient with a more holis-tic approach,” adds Unger. “It was designed to ease the mind

    and lift the spirits of adults living with cancer as well ascomplement the care already provided by Saint BarnabasRadiation Oncology Department.”

    Weiss says, “Our commitment to this project is abouthelping others have an easier cancer journey in our commu-nity.”

    One member of their board, Bloom says “it’s a veryfrightening time in your life.”

    With Comfort Project 360, the purpose was “to create acalming environment” for cancer patients, says Bloom, co-chair of fundraising. “They already had outstanding carethere but wanted a more comfortable environment.”

    Bloom, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009,was a surgical patient at Saint Barnabas and underwent sixweeks of radiation there. “My experience was phenomenal;staff was extremely professional; level of care there was fan-tastic,” says Bloom. “While the services were fabulous,”Bloom says the facility was in need of a “facelift.” Shedescribes her surroundings as “cold,” being surrounded bymetal in the rooms and “big pieces of equipment. It wasintimidating.”

    When Weiss and Unger approached her with their idea,Bloom was fully on board.

    “Anyone who’s going through cancer, you are fearful,”

    says Bloom, “some of the treatments are not pleasant.”With a fundraising goal set at $500,000, the group set out

    to create the changes developed with the Director of Radiation Oncology Dr. Alison Grann, who “gave us thewish list.” Weiss says they started with this department first

    since she had experienced the radiation department as apatient.

    Weiss explains the hospital’s primary interest is equip-ment and doctors; “enhancements comes secondary.” Unlikeother hospitals, Saint Barnabas had not received enoughfunding to provide art work or welcoming baskets.

    After some research on patient care and healing, thegroup found that “it’s experience, art work, the light thatimpact healing,” says Weiss.

    “This is where healthcare is going,” explains Bloom, “tolook at patients overall, 360 degrees; to treat patients fully,comprehensively as a whole, not just medically, but for the

    well-being overall.So far the group has raised $758,000, according to Unger,with $150,000 raised from last year’s kick-off fundraisingevent with more than 400 people.

    “There’s been such tremendous support from the com-munity,” says Bloom.

    The monies have gone to a $1.2 million multi-phase ren-ovation project at the medical center. The renovations haveincluded “fixing up aesthetics to rooms and waiting areas”including locker rooms, treatment rooms, nursing stations;uplifting and soothing framed art and paintings on the walls;renovating floors; and providing warming blanket stations;

    comfortable waiting area with snacks and beverages; musicand televisions; positive, inspirational words and quotes onwelcome monitors.

    Instead of blank walls, “now we have murals,” saysBloom. The exam rooms, “they improved by making décor

    warmer; putting equipment behind cabinetry so it didn’t feellike a cold exam room.”

    Through the Comfort Project 360, “small things” havebeen added like providing a “soft, comfy robe from CasaBella” instead of “an old gown”; private dressing area, a cupof coffee, a welcoming bag with lip balm, cream, bar of Dove soap.

    At Saint Barnabas, Radiation Oncology sees approxi-mately 900 new patients annually, 75 per month and havedelivered 13,500 treatments in 2014, says Unger.

    For phase two of the Comfort Project 360, organizers arelooking to work with the Medical Oncology Department,

    where patients receive chemotherapy, to see what the needsof their patients are, says Unger.“It’s a much bigger project,” says Weiss, with 80 to 100

    patients being seen a day, encompassing 23 infusion roomsand 17 exam rooms. “It’s our mission and vision for the nextfew years.”

    Two programs that are being implemented are, It’s AWrap, which is a two tier scarf program.

    “In Radiation Oncology we are gifting a scarf to a femalepatients finishing treatment, and for a man, a coffee tum-bler,” says Unger. “In Medical Oncology we would give

    The ZuZu African Acrobats from Kenya had

    children and parents alike on the edge of 

    their seats with their high-energy show of 

    pyramid building, limbo, contortion, tumbling, andmuch more at Clinton School’s 13th Annual

    International Dinner on Thurs., April 30, inMaplewood.

    Bringing pulsating African music and spellbind-

    ing physical feats, the audience witnessed spectacu-larly choreographed routines where the acrobats

    expertly balanced chairs on top of each other and

    even stacked bottles on a stick.

    The Kenyan performers, who were once semi-

    finalists on NBC's “America’s Got Talent,” perform

    their amazing acrobatic skills at schools and othervenues in the U.S. and worldwide.

    Throughout the performance, the audience was

    on their feet clapping to the beat as their fellow stu-dents got in on the action by attempting to wiggle

    underneath a lowered bar for the limbo line and

    quick-paced jump roping activities.

    Students also learned more about the culture of Kenya and a few words of Swahili, the language

    spoken widely in East and Central Africa.

    As one of the school district’s most diverse ele-

    mentary schools, each year Clinton School cele-brates its wealth of diversity at its annual interna-tional dinner, “The Taste of Clinton.”More than 150

    people gathered for this highly-anticipated school

    event to taste delicious cuisine prepared by parents

    or relatives from every region of the world.

    Clinton is home to the school district’s English

    Language Learning (ELL) program. About 10 per-cent of the student population is part of the ELL

    program, representing between 30 to 40 countries.

    “At Clinton School, we take every opportunity to

    celebrate the wonderful diversity of our school com-

    munity,” said Principal Patricia O’Neill. “The ZuzuAcrobats and the international dinner are examples

    of how we bring the world to our students.”

The volunteers would be availableto provide food and beverages to patientswhile receiving chemo. This provides smallcomforts along with the more personalhuman touch.”

    The next fundraising event – the SecondAnnual Comfort Project 360 A Reason toRock- is set for Nov. 12, at 7 p.m., at theCrestmont County Club In West Orange.R.S.V.P. to the foundation office at SaintBarnabas Medical Center, at 973-322-4337.

    Funds have also been raised through in-home shopping events, bar/bat mitzva proj-ects, spin classes and other events in town,allowing the project to progress, along withcompassionate volunteers.

    “As a cancer survivor, I’ve experiencedwhat it is to go through diagnosis, hearingthe word ‘cancer’ and going through treat-ments,” says Bloom. “It really stinks to gothrough that; it’s important to feel comfort-able, so it’s not doom and gloom.”

    Unger says, “I am committed to this proj-ect not only because of my mother butbecause of friends, family members andpatients that I have met in the past year who

    have expressed what a difference an envi-ronment, a touch and a feeling of normalcyduring a difficult time has helped their spir-it,” says Unger. “Sometimes we just think of what is going to make the patient better,medically, but don’t put emphasis on the factthat surroundings and certain touches makehealing and coping a better outcome.”

    Currently, six members serve on theexecutive advisory board of Comfort Project360, but there is room to grow.

    “Our needs are donors, donors, donors,”says Bloom, “and building awareness.”

    “There’s so much work to be done,” saysWeiss. Contact [email protected] [email protected] to get involved.

    HOME IMPROVEMENT • CARPENTRY 

    by Michele Guttenberger

    Entering the 20th Century, men dom-

    inated the business and financial

    arena while women fixed or

    improved the aliments of their culture andsociety. Women also reigned as the

    domestic managers of their household andgave undivided attention to the governance

    of the American family. The American

    Magazine deemed that Edison’s wife Mina

    was “the custodian of one of the greatest

    geniuses the world has ever known”.However, she preferred her own title as

    “Home Executive”. The last decade of the

    19th Century rang in modern technology

    for the 21st Century bringing in better

    home living and family life. ThomasEdison inventions saw purpose to these

    home executives commonly referred to as

    the devoted housewife or the lady of the

    house. These ultramodern open-minded

    women entering a new century desired

    clean, easier and enjoyable home living.Thomas Edison appreciated a woman’s

    perspective on modern living. He saw this

    population as great guiding mentors in his

    own life. After all, he was homeschooled

    by his mother. There were many milestone

    events were Thomas Edison appealed to

    women in launching the most innovative

    technology of its day. The very first techtoy was marketed for small girls. The

    Edison talking doll was technically the

    first home phonograph when it was

    released to the public in 1890. It was the

    first home entertainment phonographbecause, each doll housed an internal

    phonograph containing a six second prere-

    corded nursery rhyme.

    Edison Electric Illuminating Company

    of Brooklyn was in operation on Sept. 4,1882. The electric illuminating system

    provided electricity to Pearl Street. It wasnow possible for homes and businesses to

    purchase electric light at a price that could

    compete with gas. The first advertise-

    ments on this illuminating technologywere targeted to the lady of the house.

    Their ads read: A Flood of Light – A sin-

    gle touch brings a flood of light. Another

    touch dismisses it. Best artificial light ever

    known. Displays the home and its treas-

    ures at their very best. No exposed flame

    to blacken walls and decorations with soot

    or vitiate the air – causing ill health, to

    flare in the wind or be blown out. Pure,

    steady, clean, cool, sanitary, safe. Can beplaced anywhere- even in clothes closet.

    The lamps and fixtures are decorations.

    Color, design and situation arranged to suit

    individual taste. Is your home Electric

    Lighted?Ironically, while Thomas Edison used

    certain dialogue in his ads to influence

    women to want his products, it was recent-

    ly discovered that his viewpoints on work

    and the state of genius may have beeninfluenced by Kate Sanborn (July 11, 1839

    - July 9, 1917). Sanborn was a very popu-lar American author, teacher and lecturer

    in her time. Followers of Thomas Edison

    feel one of his best quotes was: “Genius is

    one percent inspiration, ninety-nine per-cent perspiration.” This quote parallels to

    Kate Sanborn’s message. “Genius is inspi-

    ration; Talent is perspiration.” Her reply to

    this comparison was “… Of late it has been

    widely quoted, but with no acknowledg-

    ment, so I still think it is mine.” This claim

    was recorded in the Detroit Journal, as

    cited in the Philadelphia newspaper TheTimes on Dec 23, 1892 (p.4). So a woman

    proved to motivate the opinions of another

    genius in like thoughts.

    For over twenty years, implant dentistry has been a reliable option for patients

    with missing teeth. With the ability to support a crown, an implant procedurehas the capacity to bypass drilling the adjacent teeth. Additionally, with the

    recent availability of mini implants, implant dentistry has expanded its utiliza-

    tion to anchoring both full and partial dentures for a more secure f it. As they

    provide an economic alternative, patients have been very receptive of mini

    implants, as they make eating and speaking with dentures much easier.

    Dr. Helen Chiu has always been involved in implant dentistry, making it an

    integrated part of her everyday practice. From replacing a single tooth, insert-

    ing crowns or bridges, securing dentures, to creating multiple, full-arch recon-

    structions, she performs every step of each process, surgical and restorative.

    Your comfort and convenience are always Dr. Chiu’s top priorities. To

    learn more about these procedures, please call our of fice at 973-377-0224.We are always happy to answer any questions you may have. To receive a

    COMPLEMENTARY IMPLANT CONSULTATION, simply mention this
