Samaritans Purse, an
international Chris-
tian relief organization
headquartered in Boone,
N.C., has returned to Wayne
for the second time this year
to help disaster victims.
In March, after heavy
rains caused widespread
flooding in the area,
Samaritans Purse sent a
Disaster Relief Unit to NewJersey and organized teams of
volunteers who helped 42
homeowners in a span of two
weeks. Now five months
later, with the worst flooding
NJ has seen since 1903,
Samaritans Purse returns
offering help to the victims
of Hurricane Irene.
This is the first
response that I have been
back to a place where we
have just served, said Lloyd
Blackwell, program manager
for Samaritans Purse. Its
easier because we already
have relationships. Its hard-
er because youre seeing the
same people affected again.
A Disaster Relief Unit,a specially equipped tractor-
trailer unit that serves as a
command post, is set up at
Calvary Temple Church on
Preakness Avenue. Each day,
workers are equipped with
tools and supplies and head
into neighborhoods in and
around Wayne to help people
affected by the storm.
Teams remove unsal-
vageable belongings from
homes and clean out debris
and muck left from the flood-
waters. They rip up ruined
flooring and strip damaged
sheetrock from walls. They
spray the exposed studs with
solution that kills mold. The
work saves homeowners
thousands of dollars, and
gives them a chance to
rebuild.
All of the work is done
for free by volunteers. Some
are from the New Jersey area;
many come from out of town,
traveling at their own
expense to help people they
dont know. Their motiva-
tion is to demonstrate the
love of God, following thebiblical example of the Good
Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37).
It opened my eyes to
see flood victims, to see the
disappointment that can last
for days and weeks, said
James Mehl, who came from
Indiana with three other
men from his church. There
is no hope but our hope is in
Jesus Christ. They have
nowhere to turn and the vol-
unteers just engulf these peo-
ple with love.
When a job is complet-
ed, each volunteer signs a
Bible that they present to the
homeowners.
On Thursday and
Friday, Samaritans Purseworkers were on Lillian
Court, helping Tom and
Mary Jane Portelli and their
neighbors, Tony and Ann
Giannini. Both their houses
were flooded.

Sept 21
The People of PeaceMinistry at St. Marys Parish
in Pompton Lakes will recog-
nize International Day of
Peace on Wednesday,
September 21, with an inter-faith celebration at 7:30 pm at
St. Marys Carnevale Center,
10 Lenox Avenue. The
International Day of Peace is
one designed by the UN toprovide opportunities for indi-
viduals, organizations, and
nations to create practical acts
of peace on a shared date. The
UN will observe the date by
rededicating itself to world
peace and encourages all peo-
ple to work toward this goal.
Those taking part in the cele-
bration at St. Marys will
include faith leaders from the
local Jewish, Muslim,Protestant and Catholic com-
munities. They will each
speak briefly and offer prayers
and music for peace. The first
International Day of Peace
was held in 1982 to coincide
with the opening of the UN
General Assembly as a day of
global ceasefire and non-vio-
lence. The observation has
grown to include millions of
people worldwide and many
events are organized each year
to commemorate and cele-brate this day. This is the
fourth year the People of
Peace Ministry at St. Marys
has observed the event. The
public is invited to attend.
Refreshments will be served.

September is Life In-
surance Awareness
Month. LIMRA the
Life Insurance and Market
Research Association,
recently provided some pow-
erful information regarding
life insurance ownership.The proportion of U.S.
adults with life insurance
protection has declined to an
all-time low: 41% (95 mil-
lion) of American adults has
no life insurance at all.
Both men and women are
less likely to own life insur-
ance today than they were in
2004 only 61 percent of
men and 57 percent of
women have some sort of lifeinsurance coverage.
Only 1 in 10 insured adults
own both permanent and
term life insurance half as
many as in 2004.
The likelihood of being
without life insurance has
dramatically increased for
every age group since 2004.
These statistics are dis-
appointing to say the least,
especially when consideringthe awesome benefits that a
carefully constructed policy
can provide. For example
Life
Insurance can:
Create an Estate
Fund a business transfer
Pay estate taxes and other
settlement costs
Pay-off a mortgageProtect a business from
the loss of a key employee
Replace a charitable gift
Equalize inheritances
Pay-off a loan
Accelerated death benefits
if diagnosed terminally ill
(giving you money now)
Provide college fund for
children or grandchildren
Emergency Funds for
any purposeAnd my personal favorite
in addition to all of the above:
Provides a Supplemental
Tax-Free Retirement Income
There are many policies
from various companies that
each offer different unique-
nesss or specific benefits.
Some offer very low mortali-
ty charges, while others may
offer tremendous cash value
growth opportunities. Somecash accumulating policies
may be invested directly in
the stock market, while oth-
ers may be based on only pos-
itive stock market perform-
ance with no loss potential if
the market retreats. Other
policies build no cash value
at all and obviously require
less premium. Regardless of
the type of policy you pur-
chase, you should be aware ofthe following rules:
1. Life Insurance Policies
must be reviewed frequently
to determine if the death
benefit level is adequate
based on changes in your life;
such as the birth of a child,
accumulation of debt,
increase in net worth and
resulting taxes at death.2.Annual policy statements
must be compared to the
original policy illustration to
determine if the cash value
growth is in line with what
was projected or anticipated.
Additional premiums may be
necessary to supplement
any/or shortfall or premiums
may be reduced if there is a
surplus.
3.Shop Around New poli-cies from new companies
may offer a better value than
your existing policy. Cash
value crediting formulas may
be improved or mortality
charges reduced, offering
enhanced values elsewhere.
Changing from one policy to
another can be done incometax-free.
4.Health is a factor and an
asset not to be taken lightly.
In the life insurance business
it is called insurability. With
insurability, you can look and
switch to another carrier eas-
ily; without insurability you
may very well be stuck with
what you have and if it is a
term policy, it might expire
before you do. That is onereason to consider purchas-
ing a policy that is guaran-
teed for life.
5. Never cancel your life
insurance policy until the
new one is approved, in-force
and paid for.
6. Sometimes it is not in your
best interest to exchangeyour policy or cancel it.
Perhaps it might be better to
sell it. Given certain param-
eters, investors might be
interested in purchasing your
policy and paying more than
the cash surrender value.
7. Perhaps your policy may
require no further premiums,
if there is sufficient cash
value and or dividends to pay
all of the mortality charges
and expenses for the rest of
your life. This can easily bedetermined by asking the
company to produce an in-
force ledger indicating no
further premiums payable.
8.After, reviewing, shopping
and investigating to deter-
mine your options, the best
option might be to keep what

In todays economic cli-
mate, there are more job
applicants than there are
jobs. Landing or keeping a
job with so much stiff compe-
tition means employees must
take the necessary steps to
ensure theyre a viable part of
the company. Dressing the
part may seem inconsequen-tial, but it can say much
about how seriously you take
your work.
A business casual dress
code is standard across much
of the white-collar business
world. It has supplanted for-
mal attire, sometimes called
international standard busi-
ness attire, in most compa-
nies. In the U.S., roughly 45
percent of employees arriveto work in business casual
clothing. Still, many are not
quite sure what constitutes
business casual wear.
Business casual clothing
is neat, professional and clas-
sic. Although not a uniform,
this type of attire helps to
keep workers uniformly
dressed in tailored and com-
fortable clothing.
For men and women,
khaki or dark-colored slacksare customary; women may
choose to wear conservative
skirts that are not too short.
Pressed, long-sleeved, but-
toned solid shirts are safe
bets for both men and
women. Short sleeves are
customary during the warmer
weather. Some companies
allow collared polo shirts or
golf Ts. Informal dresses for
women and sweaters are alsoacceptable. Women should
avoid baring too much cleav-
age, which can be viewed as
sexually forward. With
both genders, clothing
should fit well but not
be too tight or sugges-
tive. Depending on the
organization, shoes
should be closed-toe
and modest.
Many companies
institute casual Fri-day attire, which is a
variation on business
casual by allowing
jeans or sneakers to be
worn. However, even
on casual days, most
companies frown upon
wrinkled, ripped, too
trendy, or revealing
types of jeans. Shorts
are often frowned upon as
well. If women will be wear-ing dresses, spaghetti straps
should be avoided in favor of
thicker tank top straps or
capped sleeves in warmer
weather. Flip-flops and otherflimsy sandals also should be
reconsidered.
In terms of accessories
and jewelry, less is often
more when complementing
business casual attire. Avoid
flashy items or pieces that
may distract or inspire envy.
The work environment is not
a fashion runway, and dress-
ing to stand out could make
others feel intimidated.
Not all companiesemploy the same rules and
regulations concerning ward-
robe. For those who are new
to a company, its best to
stick with conservative busi-
ness casual basics and then
observe what others are
wearing. Keep in mind that
attire worn by supervisors or
business owners may not be
what employees are allowed
to wear. Just because theCEO is donning jeans and a
T-shirt every day doesnt
mean it is acceptable for you.
When in doubt, ask human
resources or a personnel
director if there are attire
guidelines. Fellow employees
whom you trust can also lend
advice.
Here are some other tips
when shopping for business
casual.
Avoid large patternsbecause they are memorable,
and these items will not be
able to be worn frequently
without risking the chance of
someone recalling the outfit.
Invest in some blue, black,
brown and tan pants and/or
skirts. These basics can be
worn with many different
colored shirts and blouses.
A cardigan or blazer can
instantly dress up a businesscasual outfit for a client
meeting.
Business casual is the standard for work
A collared shirt and slacks is thestandard for business casual in most
work environments.

Pillows are more impor-
tant than many of us
think. Since we spend
approximately one third of our
lives sleeping, what we sleep
on can be a major contributor
to the postures we develop.
Posture (and hence spinal
alignment) is a significant
health factor. Main-taining
good spinal posture while we
sleep can help us avoid many
health problems, from muscu-
lar aches and pains to spinal
decay and even effects on the
nervous system.
When discussing pillows
with my patients, I have them
consider the following crite-
ria:
1. SIZE AND NUMBER:
Some people sleep with their
head propped up using large or
more than one pillow.
Regardless of the position they
sleep in, this forces the neck
into an unnatural posture,
resulting in significant stresson the spinal discs, ligaments
and muscles. The best use for
an extra pillow is not to be
placed under your head but to
place it between your knees if
you sleep on your side, or
under your knees if you sleep
on your back.
2. PRIMARY SLEEPING
POSITION: Are you a side
sleeper or a back sleeper? (If
you sleep on your stomach,
dont!) Side sleepers need pil-
lows that keep the neck in
line with the rest of the spine
and cradle the head to avoid
head tilt. Back sleepers
require pillows that maintain
optimum neck curve while
allowing the head to rest com-
fortably on the bed. Many
back sleepers do very well
using simply a cervical roll.
Most of us, however, cannot
decide what we are and conse-
quently need a pillow that
somehow does all of the
above.
3.CONTENT: Beyond per-sonal preference, two points
to consider are, is it non-aller-
genic and does it provide ade-
quate long-lasting support?
4.SHAPE: Modern pillows
come in a variety of shapes,
from the traditional, to the
contour or posture pillow
and cervical roll. Each of
these have shortcomings
depending on ones sleeping
position.
New developments in
pillow design are on-going.
Speak to your chiropractor
about what type of pillow may
be best for you. Remember
that changing to a new pillow
challenges what your body is
used to. Incorporate the newpillow gradually, and expect
several weeks to become
accustomed to it.

At precisely 8:46 am, on
that historic day, Brian was in
his office tapping away on the
keyboard with his back to the
window, when he heard an
extremely loud double boom.
Looking towards the window,
he saw an unbelievable
sightswirling flames. Brian
had been at the World Trade
Center in 1993, during the
basement terrorist bombing,
so he had some idea of what
was going on. He looked up
and saw sort of a ring of fire
around the 93rd floor.
Brian called his wife and
dad, to tell him he was
OKas, at that time, there
were all kinds of conflicting
reports about what had hap-
pened.
Then came another dou-
ble explosion and the office
area just seemed to fall
apart. Walls were torn, and
everything seemed to be com-
ing out of the ceiling. At one
point, the skyscraper actually
leaned about six or eight
feet towards the Hudson
Riverand then
swayed back to where
it had been. He
thought the entire
building might be
falling down.
After the1993 bomb-
ing, a fire safety team
had been formed and
Brian was a member,
having gone though
training. So, he took his trusty
flashlight and gathered the
group around him to attempt
to escape the smoke and
destruction around them.
As they descended down
the stairs to the 81st floor
landing, they encountered a
somewhat panicked lady, who
yelled, Stop! and said they
should go higher, rather than
down to lower floors, so they
could get to fresh air. Of their
group, nine people decided to
go up, and they were never
heard from again.
At that moment, Brian
heard a call for help, there on
the 81st floor. Brian and a co-
worker, Ron, ran over to try
and help the man who was
trapped under debris. At that
point, Ron was overcome by
smoke, and started up towards
the higher floors in an

During its first few hours
of life, your kitten
receives natural immu-
nity against most diseases from
its mothers first milk, the
colostrum. But eventually your
kittens immune system will
have to fend for itself.
Vaccinations provide your kit-
ten good protection against
some life-threatening diseases.
Heres an explanation of the
vaccines you need or may want
to consider, as recommended
by your veterinarian.
FVR-C-P. The upper respira-
tory infection seen in cats is a
complex clinical disease.
FVR-C-P, protects your cat
against the two viruses most
likely to cause an upper respira-
tory infection in your cat
feline rhinotracheitis (feline
herpes virus) and feline cali-
civirus. Infections with these
viruses can cause discharge
from the nose or eye, respirato-
ry problems, mouth sores,
anorexia, and abortion. FVR-
C-P also protects against pan-
leukopeniafeline distem-
per an acute gastrointestinal
viral infection associated with
a sudden onset, depression,
vomiting, diarrhea, dehydra-
tion, and a high mortality rate.
These vaccines require boost-
ers two to four weeks apart; the
last dose is given at 12 to 16
weeks.
FeLV. Feline leukemia virus
vaccines are available for inter-
ested cat owners. This vaccine
is recommended only for those
cats with high exposure poten-
tial, such as outdoor cats, show
cats and in multiple cat house-
holds (even if all are consid-
ered indoor only). Before try-
ing out the FeLV vaccine, have
your cat tested to see if he
already has the disease. Half of
all cats who get FeLV will die
from complications associated
with the disease. Consult with
your veterinarian if this vac-
cine is right for your cat.
FIP. Feline Infectious
Peritonitis, which is associated
with anorexia, weight loss,
growth stunting, gradually
developing potbelly and fever,
has a very high mortality rate.
A vaccine was developed six
years ago and can be given to
cats greater than 16 weeks of
age. It requires two doses three
to four weeks apart. The effec-
tiveness of this vaccine in pre-
venting this fatal feline disease
is still being tested and is
debatable; therefore most vet-
erinarians do not recommend
this vaccine at this time.
Rabies. Most of us associate
rabies with the mad dog froth-
ing at the mouth, eager to bite
anything near it. Although this
is a common presentation in
countries where there is a very
high population of unvaccinat-
ed stray dogs, in the United
States, rabies usually appears in
wild animals. Rabies vaccina-
tion is required in New Jersey.
Rabies vaccines can be admin-
istered at greater than 12 weeks
of age in felines. All warm-
blooded animalsincluding
youcan get rabies. The prog-
nosis unfortunately is fatal.
Few medical procedures
are without risk; while trying to
prevent disease in your cat,
there is a small chance
that harm may be done.
Veterinarians have observed a
chance of developing a vac-
cine-associated sarcoma at a
rate of 20 per 100,000 cats. A
veterinary task force has been
assigned to this problem. These
officials make the following
statement on their Web site
(www.avma.org/vafstf/own-
broch.html): Disturbing as
this issue may be, there is great
concern that cat owners,
attempting to keep their cats
from harm, may forego vacci-
nation entirely. The result?
Though well intentioned,
these owners may be placing
cats at far greater risk of acquir-
ing a fatal infection than any
risk the vaccine poses. And in
the case of rabies, human
health is at risk as well.
After your vaccinations,
ask your veterinarian to point
out where the injections were
placed and then keep an eye on
those sites. If you notice a firm,
painless swelling located near a
previous vaccination site, con-
tacts your veterinarian.
Your local veterinarian
can provide more information
about vaccinations for your
pet. What is given often
depends on the risk of specific
diseases in your geographic
area, your pets life-style and
state laws.
Protect your companion
animals and yourself by paying
a visit to your local veterinari-
an and following the suggested
vaccination protocol.

Harnessing the power
within the body has
always been a holy
grail in medicine. Rather than
receiving an artificial joint or
implant, people seem to want it
normal, or the way it used to
be. Increasingly there are
advances in orthopedics that
bring us closer to restoration,
rather than replacement. An
example of the concept of
restoration is the surgical pro-
cedure called micro-fracture.
Originally developed by Dr.
J.R. Steadman, micro-frac-
ture is a technique that uses
stem cells to grow fibro carti-
lage in an area of cartilage
defect.
Cartilage is the smooth
white surface layer of any joint.
It allows the joint to glide and
distribute impact forces for
everything from everyday liv-
ing to extreme sporting stresses.
An area of cartilage defect can
be truly challenging to treat.
The problem is that cartilage,
once lost or destroyed, does not
grow back. An extreme form
of cartilage loss is advanced
bone on bone arthritis, where
very little or no cartilage
remains.
For smaller cartilage
defects in the knee, micro-frac-
ture is a surgical option to grow
fibro cartilage into the defect.
The procedure is done arthro-
scopically, using two small
inch incisions along the front
of the knee. The typically
frayed edges along the cartilage
defect are cleaned up using a
motorized arthroscopic shaver.
Next, tiny holes are made into
the bone using micro-fracture
picks that almost look like den-
tal picks. The spacing and
positioning of the holes is criti-
cally important because just the
right spacing is needed in order
to ensure adequate stem cell
coverage of the defect. By
making tiny holes into the
bone, undifferentiated cells, or
stem cells, are released into the
joint. These cells tend to have
a sticky quality to them and
stick to the area of cartilage
defect.
After the surgery, patients
are put into CPM (continuous
passive motion) machines that
gently move the knee back and
forth in flexion and extension.
By using the CPM machine for
several hours a day, the stem
cells mature and differentiate
into fibro cartilage that helps to
restore the joint surface. In
fact, upon repeat operations in
patients who re-injured their
knee, it is often impossible to
recognize where the cartilage
defect had been.
Originally developed to
treat high level skiers in Vail
Colorado, cartilage defects are
seen in athletes and hard-work-
ing folks alike. Especially in
patients who are healthy and
active, we explain to patients
that there are viable options.

T
he relationship be-
tween motor and cog-
nitive skills can be
viewed as a pyramid. Without
a strong motor skill base, a
child cannot build or support
higher level cognitive func-
tions. The motor skills of
crawling, rolling, pulling to
stand and walking are the
foundation for cognitive
growth that the school aged
child must achieve.
Most children enjoy phys-
ical activity, but with computer
games and IMing competing
for their attention, many chil-
dren lead a very sedentary
lifestyle. Children who have
not been exposed to adequate
opportunities to develop motor
skills may have difficulty build-
ing the cognitive skills required
for elementary school.
For example, in order to
sit at a desk in an upright posi-
tion for the duration of a class,
a child must have adequate
postural muscle endurance to
sustain this activity. If the child
is slumping in the chair, she or
he is unable to pay proper
attention to the class, (the
child is concerned with main-
taining an upright position) he
or she cannot learn adequately,
or perform appropriate fine
motor tasks like writing and
taking notes.
Parents who suspect that
their child has a delay in motor
skill development should have
their child evaluated by a pedi-
atric physical therapist. There
are many conditions that affect
the achievement of gross skills
including developmental and
genetic disorders, injuries, ill-
ness, congenital deformities
and developmental coordina-
tion disorders.
The earliest possible
intervention produces the best
success rate. There are certain
red flags that may point to a
problem and should be dis-
cussed with your childs pedia-
trician. These signs include,
but are not limited to not walk-
ing by 15 months, not walking
with a heel toe gait and not
being able to propel a ride on a
toy by age two.

I have provided a list of
age appropriate gross motor
skills for each developmental
age range that can be used as a
guideline:
Infancy:
Infant can lift head to a 45
degree angle by 4-6 weeks
Infant can lift head and chest
by 8 weeks
Infant can turn head by 16-
20 weeks
Creeping on stomach and
dragging legs behind by 6-9
months
Crawling by 7-12 months
Cruising along furniture by
7-13 months
First steps between 9 and 16
months
Toddlers:
At two years old children
can run well
Negotiate stairs with a rail-
ing by putting both feet on
each step
Emerging ability to kick
and throw a ball
At three years old children
can walk backwards
Run with ability to make
sudden stops and change
directions
Emerging skills with hop-
ping, standing on one foot
Negotiate rungs of a jungle
gym
Riding a tricycle
Preschool:
A four year old should:
Balance or hop on one foot
Jump forward or backward
over objects
And climb and descend stairs
with alternating feet
Bounce, catch and throw
balls accurately
May be able to skip
School Age:
Generally good at a wide
variety of physical activities,
Five year olds can skip,
jump rope, catch a bounced
ball, walk on their tiptoes
Engage in beginning acro-
batics
May be able to ride a two-
wheeled bicycle
Eight and nine year olds
can swim, roller skate, ice
skate, jump rope and play a
variety of sports.
We can cultivate chil-
drens motor skill development
by offering them appropriate
movement experiences.
Physical therapy can offer
movement programs that are
designed to strengthen basic
skills. Children will benefit
from a well planned, age appro-
priate, fun program that is
specifically designed to meet
their needs. Whether or not
daily physical activity is a prior-
ity in adult life, it is an absolute
necessity for children to aug-
ment physical, cognitive and
social growth.
Want to look younger
the natural way?
Dr. Ramtin Kassir
tells us about the latest proce-
dure in anti-aging with his
DNA Lift technique.
If youve ever considered
or undergone Restylane(TM) or
Juvederm(TM) injections, you
may be interested in this new
technique known as the DNA
Lift Why the name? The
contents of the lift include
stem cells, fat, and platelets
(derived from your own fat and
blood). This mixture is then
used to contour the face and fill
in skin depressions or wrinkles.
Essentially, Dr. Kassir will
draw a patients blood, use a
centrifuge to spin the blood
and remove the platelets and
fibrin, and then inject the sub-
stance into the patients face
(or other body parts) in order
to fill out hollows and other
imperfections. Dr. Kassir per-
forms this in conjunction with
the patients own fat. Fat graft-
ing is also a natural approach to
restoring a youthful look to the
face that does not involve
removal of skin. Fat transfer is
the process of taking small
amounts of fat from one part of
the body and reimplanting it
elsewhere, where it is needed.
As an injectable filler, your
own fat is almost perfect. It is
soft and feels natural; it does
not cause immune problems.
Dr. Kassir can perform the
procedure in about 20 minutes.
Results can be achieved in just
one session, though more may
be necessary. So, why opt for
the DNA Lift? One of the
major benefits of Selphyl and
fat transfer is that it is created
from the patients own body, no
chemicals are involved and
allergic reactions virtually
never occur. Results are seen
immediately and improve over
several weeks.
Price varies, but the DNA
Lift can cost you up to
$2,500 per injection. It is a
great investment considering
that results may last up to 18
months. Plus, its a good way to
avoid invasive surgical proce-
dures and use your own biology
to aid your anti-aging quest.

attempt to reach some fresh
air. He, too, perished.
Brian somehow seemed
to find some fresh air, and
tried to help the trapped man,
whose name is Stanley. At
first Brian could only see
Stanleys hand waving from
under the debris, as he was
yelling for help. Dragging
away the debris, Brian could
see that Stanley was trapped
in a pit-like pile of stuff.
He urged Stanley to
jump towards him, but
Stanley couldnt do it. Finally,
he was able to make the jump
and landed on Brian who fell
on his back. Brian then
exclaimed that this made
them blood brothers for life.
At that point Brian and
Stanley had to make a life
threatening decision: to go up
or down the stairs. They
decided to go down, and that
was the right decision.
At the 68th floor, they
encountered a co-worker
named Jose, who was on his
way up to rescue a worker on a
higher floor. Jose was a securi-
ty guard, who was intent on
his rescue mission even
though it was through smoke
and other dangers. Says Brian,
Jose was a great guy and my
hero.
Once Brian and Stanley
finally reached ground level,
they thought they were
safebut security people told
them there were substantial
pieces of debris falling down
in the Liberty St. areaso
they were going to have to go
for it. The two of them ran
for a block and a half before
they ran out of steam, in front
of a deli. They went in to get
some waterand, better than
that, the proprietor gave them
a whole breakfast platter.
Then, it was back on the
way to safety for Brian and
Stanley. Along the way they
ran into two Priests from
Trinity Churchand they all
prayed together. Stanley
exclaimed that Brian had
saved his life. And, Brian said
that Stanleys call for help
really saved his life (because
he didnt head up the stairs
with the others). It was at the
Trinity Church that Brian and
Stanley saw the South Tower
actually go down. It seemed to
melt in their view. From
there, they walked towards
Broadway, all in that whitish
smoke/ash/toxic stuff that we
saw on TV. Somehow or
other, Stanley and Brian got
separated at that point.
Brian got a ferry back to
NJ, and then took a train back
home to Mahwah. But, he
never lost track of Stanley.
They talk and still see each
other. Stanley came to the
wedding of Brians oldest
daughter. He still carries
Stanleys business card in his
walletand wears a band on
his wrist to honor his hero,
Jose.
Brian concluded, Im
happy to be alive! He does-
nt worry about the future any-
moreand hopes that we
dont either. And, he doesnt
dwell on the past, saying that
Every day is great! He talked
about how precious life
isand as we get toward the
end of the trail, we should ask
ourselves, Have we done the
best we can with the gifts we
have been given.
And, looking out at a
three-club Rotary audience of
some 70 people, Brian empha-
sized, You guys get ityoure
helping others!

Samaritans Purse
returns to Wayneto help families
this bad, said Tony
Giannini, 80. In 45 years,
Ive never seen anything like
this.
They didnt know where
to turn for help until the
Samaritans Purse team
arrived.
We were amazed, Ann
Giannini said. I think its a
Godsend. They are angels. I
really mean it. I cant believe
people do this. Theyre all so
polite and loving. Unbeliev-
able. Theyre so kind. Just
wonderful people. They leave
their homes and do this.
Both families were very
appreciative of the help.
Its great to see people
who are out not just talking
Christian charity, theyre
walking Christian charity,
Tom Portelli said. Theyre
good people.
Samaritans Purse ex-
pects to be in Wayne for at
least two more weeks. They
are asking for more local vol-
unteers, so they can help
more people. If you would
like to join, call (973) 694-
1630.
Samaritans Purse is an
international relief organiza-
tion headed by Franklin
Graham, son of Billy
Graham. Since 1970, it has
helped meet needs of people
who are victims of war,
poverty, natural disasters, dis-
ease, and famine.
In 1998, the first
Samaritans Purse tractor-
trailer unit responded to a
flooding in Victoria, Texas.
Since then, 47,000 volun-
teers have helped Samar-
itans Purse respond to disas-
ters in 29 states. The focus is
on the immediate needs of
the homeowners to get them
back into their homes.
The disaster relief unit
in Wayne is one of three
deployed by Samaritans
Purse in response to
Hurricane Irene. Other teams
are working in New Bern,
N.C., and Rutland, Vermont.

Unlike their parents,
todays kids often
forgo sandlot baseball
or games of tag for much more
sedentary fare like video games
or surfing the Internet. While
video games and Internet
access arent lacking in value,
many parents would prefer
their kids be more active.
Though it can be difficult
to get kids off the couch, there
are ways parents can help their
kids live and embrace a more
active lifestyle, which can have
benefits both now and down
the road.
Make it a team effort. Parents
who are concerned their kids
arent getting enough daily
exercise should ask themselves
if theyre getting enough exer-
cise themselves. Kids arent the
only ones who need daily exer-
cise. A good way to encourage
kids is to join them. Make daily
physical activity a team effort.
Kids dont have to join Mom
and Dad at the gym. Instead, go
for a nightly walk after dinner,
or make time to play catch in
the yard. Kids often take cues
from their parents even if their
parents arent aware. Parents
who exercise every day are
much more likely to have kids
who exercise every day as well.
Set a positive example for kids
and include them in your own
fitness routine whenever the
opportunity arises.
Minimize television time.
The American Academy of
Pediatrics recommends older
kids watch no more than two
hours of television per day. But
as any parent knows, most kids
average much more than two
hours of television per day. To
decrease that tube time, par-
ents can take televisions out of
their kids bedrooms, instead
putting televisions only in the
common rooms which will also
allow parents to more closely
monitor what their kids are
watching.
Encourage extracurricular
activities. While parents might
find it hard to believe, todays
kids, even with all the video
games and additional gadgets,
still get bored. Boredom might
be contributing to sedentary
lifestyles. To combat boredom,
parents should encourage
extracurricular activities that
get kids off the couch. Whether
its participating in team sports,
joining the local or school the-
ater program or even getting a
job, parents should encourage
kids to do more after school
than come home and turn on
the television or play video
games.
Emphasize activity instead of
exercise. Many adults associate
exercise with going to the gym
or running on the treadmill,
both of which are tough to get
excited about. Kids might be
equally indifferent and less
enthusiastic about exercise.
Instead of emphasizing exer-
cise, encourage kids to be
active. Being active doesnt
have to entail playing a sport or
doing any calisthenics. Instead,
an active lifestyle is one thats
not spent idling the hours away
lounging. Encourage kids to get
outdoors and pursue interests
other than video games or tele-
vision shows.
Parents should express inter-
est in their kids activities. If
kids like to fish, ask how they
fared after their most recent
trip to the neighborhood fish-
ing hole. When parents express
an interest in their kids activi-
ties, kids are more likely to
embrace those activities, some-
thing thats especially benefi-
cial if the activities in question
are ones that get kids off the
couch.

In the aftermath of
Hurricane Irene and the
torrential rains that fol-
lowed, many people are grap-
pling with the early warning
signs of exposure to toxic mold,
including allergies, coughs,
chronic colds, sinusitis, ear
infections, fever, headaches,
fatigue, dizziness, nausea, nose-
bleeds and more. Research has
indicated links between toxic
mold and diseases such as can-
cer and heart disease.
Toxic mold is so pervasive
that it has been known to ruin
a home, close down a business,
and ruin a persons health.
According to the EPA,
using bleach, chemicals, bio-
cides and fungicides will not
stop mold from returning.
Mold spores continue to grow
back, even when covered with
paint or treated with surface
cleaners.
The very good news is
that there now is a highly effec-
tive NON-TOXIC solution to
eliminating mold. A blend of
special therapeutic grade high-est quality essential oils has
been found to be far more effec-
tive at eliminating mold than
any other treatment currently
available, with an overall 100%
spore removal efficiency for
seventeen species of mold, with
long term residual effects.
This wonderful non-toxic
solution that eliminates toxic
mold and keeps it away is a
plant based cleaner containinga blend of essential oils known
to kill multiple types of mold
and mold spores and prevent
their reoccurrence. It works
naturally to eliminate toxins

9.Life Insurance Policies
are like smoke detectors, not
the Ronco Rotisserie Grill;
you cannot just set it and
forget it! It is recommend-
ed that your smoke detector
batteries be changed annu-
ally and so too, should youcheck the facts and figures
of your life insurance poli-
cies.
10. Life Insurance is the most
bought, least understood
consumer product in the
nation, always was and
always will be. The policies
are mostly written in what I
call insurance hieroglyph-
ics by actuaries and lawyers;
its the nature of the beastand unfortunately, most con-
sumers need an honest inter-
preter to decipher their poli-
cy language. The majority of
agents leave the industry
within 5 years of entering the
field so finding the original
writing agent may be diffi-
cult.
Let me encourage you to
conduct a policy check-up as
soon as possible. The indus-try has accomplished many
breakthroughs in policy
design over the last decade
that may very well be in your
best interest to evaluate. If
you havent performed a life
insurance policy check-up in
a while, now would be the
perfect opportunity. As a pro-
fessional with over 30 years
of experience in the field of
reading and evaluating insur-ance hieroglyphics, I would
be happy to assist you with
your policy(s) review at no
charge. Just mention you
read about a free policy
review in the Life and
Leisure paper, when you call
my office for an appoint-
ment.
