Perhaps you own a compa-
ny and you are trying togrow your business the
tried and true way through
good will and refer-
rals, but havent
achieved the growth
you have wanted. Our
firm is a prime exam-
ple of this. We gain
new clients and lose
some due to compa-
nies going out of busi-
ness and people mov-ing out of State.
Consider the idea of a
merger or acquisition. You may
be thinking that you dont
have the capital or cant raise
the capital needed to do this.
You may be in better shape
than you think. Banks and
prospects may be willing to
work with you under yourterms. First you will need to
determine a few things. How
much of a deposit could you
give to a prospective seller?
What would your preference be
of the volume of the business
that you would be looking to
merge with or acquire? Do you
have a good relationship with
your bank to secure a line of
business credit? What steps do Ineed to take first? Lets use our
firm as an example and look at
the steps involved.
We decided to look
for a small acquisition
to our practice. Our
target would be a
practitioner looking
to retire within the
next few years or
someone who had a
small tax business onthe side and had
taken a full time job who was
looking to sell. Next we want-
ed the billings to be within
100K to 150K with a mix of
business and individual clients.

P
umpkins are a common
sight come around
Halloween. This fruit ofthe fall is often used in deco-
rating the interior and exteri-
or of homes, but can
be an integral com-
ponent of cooking
and baking as well.
Little thought is
given to pumpkins
and their makeup.
But pumpkin afi-
cionados who want
to know more aboutthese delicious
gourds can dig into
the following facts.
Pumpkins are a member
of the squash family that
grows on long vines close to
the ground. Before pumpkin
fruit grows, brightly colored
flowers will form and then
turn into pumpkins. Pumpkins
adapt too many climates andare grown on all of the conti-
nents except Antarctica.
In colonial times, settlers
and natives alike relied on
pumpkin as a staple of their
diets. The British saw the pos-
sibilities of pumpkins as a food
source and brought seeds back
to Europe to enjoy as well.
Pumpkins are comprisedof several parts. The pumpkin
is covered in a skin that sur-
rounds the pulp, or
the meaty part of the
pumpkin. The stem is
at the top of the
pumpkin and con-
nects to the vine.
Tendrils are thin
pieces of vine that
tether the pumpkin to
the ground to protectit from the wind and
weather. The inside of
the pumpkin is
known as the cavity and can
contain seeds and fibrous
strands. The bottom of the
pumpkin is known as the blos-

Pumpkins are a common sight in fields and athomes and businesses come October.

from our bank. Now we will
begin our marketing plan.
So what will you need to
do first? The first step is to
make sure your own house is inorder. In other words, you must
make sure your business is
strong enough to make an
acquisition and that you have
systems in place. A lot of small
businesses considered Mom
and Pop organizations dont
have a lot of systems in place.
They may do a very good job
managing their business but in
order for the business to go the
next level a set of processes and
procedures must be put in place
for human recourses, finances,inventory, marketing, technol-
ogy etc. So, before even look-
ing at expanding through
acquisition the first step is
make sure your business is in
order and strong enough to
take on an acquisition.
Next identify your target
market. Decide if a merger or
acquisition makes sense for
your business. In a merger, you
may become a partner in a larg-
er firm and roll your clients
under their name. Or it may betwo smaller firms joining to
become a larger presence in a
local community. If you are
doing an acquisition instead, it
could be that you prefer to be
the sole owner as opposed to
being in a partnership with
someone else. In the case of a
merger to a larger firm, you
would want to do your due dili-
gence. You would want to see a
business valuation, a cash flow
analysis, review the current
bank statements, tax returns,financial statements, preferably
audited or reviewed by a CPA
firm. You would also want to
spend time at the new firm to
make sure there is a good fit of
personalities and that they
adhere to the same ethics that
your firm does. This step would
also apply to anyone doing an
acquisition once you have
identified a strong prospect. If
you are choosing the acquisi-
tion route, think about the
length of time that you wouldneed to pay off the debt that
you will incur. Next, identify
the volume of the business that
you can afford to absorb and
pay off over the time limit that
you have established.
At this step you would
also want to know if you would
be keeping the former owner
on as an employee or simply as
an hourly consultant or not at
all. Some companies choose tokeep the former owner on for a
transition year to allow the
clients to meet the new profes-
sional who will be servicing
them. Its very important to
have a plan for integration.
Next you would need to
secure a deposit to give to the
seller and to set up terms in a
contract that are agreeable to
by both sides. You would obvi-
ously get your attorney andCPA involved to review the
contract and the books of the
prospect. If possible, present a
business plan to your bank to
discuss the reason for the busi-
ness line of credit. If your bank
is not actively pursuing small
business loans, pursue other
avenues such as the SBA orother banks. Once you have
secured a line of credit, you
would be able to set up terms
that both you and the prospect
can live with. The typical deal
would consist of a deposit to
the seller along with a note.
The seller holds a note and is
paid off over an agreed term
including interest.
Some firms begin the
acquisition phase because anopportunity arises to acquire a
new firm. Others begin with
the intent to find a prospect.
Once you know your target
market, target price and have
secured the money for your
deposit, you can begin to mar-
ket for a prospect. Businesses
can spread the word through
their local chamber of com-
merce and other networking
partners of the local newspa-pers. This would be appropriate
if you are looking to keep your

Now that school is in
full swing, most stu-
dents are carrying
backpacks that are much too
heavy for them causing delete-
rious effects to the body.
Among school aged children,
there has been a rise in the
incidence of back pack related
pain and stiffness affecting the
neck, shoulders, back and
chest. Backpacks also factor
into the increase in non-trau-
matic back pain in children
under the age of 18.
School aged children are
very susceptible to back pack
related back pain since they
are likely to carry loads that are
too heavy in proportion to
their body weight. Medical
professionals recommend that
a childs backpack should be no
heavier than 15% of his or her
body weight. Unfor-tunately itis not uncommon for a 90
pound child to be carrying a 30
pound backpack, a third of his
or her body weight.
Backpacks, when worn
correctly, cause less stress on
the body than other book bags.
Backpacks allow for a more
even weight distribution (as
long as both shoulder straps are
used) than shoulder bags or
purses that have the weight onone side of the body. Backpack
related injuries are due to the
misuse of backpacks. Some
symptoms associated with
backpack misuse are shoulder,
neck, and lower back pain,
muscle spasm and numbness
and tingling in the hands and
fingers.
To avoid risk of injury and
postural problems, follow these
backpack tips:Scale down the contents
to the essentials. The child
should leave as many heavy
books in the locker as possible
and pack only the most neces-
sary books. Try to bring home
handouts and lighter work-
books.
Pack appropriately. The
heaviest books should beplaced in the center of the
back closest to the spine.
When the heaviest books are
placed on the side or the outer-
most compartment of the
backpack, this results in
uneven weight bearing and
encourages back arching caus-
ing subsequent back pain.
Lighten the load. The
backpack should weigh no
more than 15% of your childsbody weight, 10% is ideal. Too
much weight will cause your

child to walk bent forward to
support the weight on the
back.
Wear the pack correctly.
The backpack should be cen-
tered in the middle of the
shoulders and tightened so it
sits flush against the spine.
The straps of the pack should
be tightened so the top of the
pack is in line with the tops of
the shoulders. Padded straps
are very important. Non-
padded straps can dig into
the muscles causing numbness
and tingling in the hands and
fingers.
Pick up the pack with
proper body mechanics. In-
stead of stooping over to pick
up the pack, the child should
squat down by bending the
knees and stand up using the
legs.
Buy the best backpack.
Purchase a pack with multiple
compartments in order to place
the heaviest books in the com-
partment closest to the body.
Buy a pack with wide padded
shoulder straps.
If your child is complain-
ing of back pain from a back-
pack use a book-carrier on
wheels instead. Also, call your
pediatric physical therapist to
assess any adverse affects from
backpack use.

Posture affects all human
functions, both con-
sciously and uncon-
sciously, from breathing to
thinking. (American Journal
of Pain Management, January,
1994)
Checking your childs
posture is one of the simplest,
yet most important things par-
ents can do to ensure the pres-
ent and future health of their
children. Few parents, how-
ever, are ever given the tools
to adequately assess posture.
The following are some key
points to look for:
1) First have your child
stand facing you, relaxed with
feet in line and slightly apart.
Have them nod their head a
couple of times with eyes
closed, then look straight
ahead.
2) Always start at the feet.
The centre of the pelvis
should be directly in line with
the midpoint between the
feet. Is the pelvis shifted to
the left or to the right? Does
the pelvis appear rotated to
the left or right? Is one side of
the pelvis lower?
3) Now assess the thorax
(chest) in relation to the
pelvis. Is the midpoint of the
chest bone directly above the
midpoint of the pelvis? If not,
which way is it shifted? Is one
shoulder lower than the other?
Does one hand hang lower?
Does the thorax appear rotat-
ed relative to the pelvis?
4) Finally, look at the head.
Draw a mental line from the
midpoint between the eyes to
the centre of the upper lip. Is
it vertical or tilted? Is the
head aligned directly above
the centre of the chest bone,
or off to one side? Is the face
rotated to the left or right?

Matthew D. LoughlinPhysical Therapist, Director of Rehabilitation
Matthew graduated with honors from New YorkUniversity in 1997 and began a satisfying career inorthopedics specializing in spine rehabilitation. Ever
keen to learn and do more for his patients Matthew began
studying diligently for his certification in Orthopedic ManualTherapy. This training exposed him to the concept ofMaitland Australian therapy, the Maitland Concept is referredto as a concept and not as a technique. Emphasis is placednot on the technique of treatment but on a basic philosophy-a thought and decision making process, involving analyticalexamination and assessment on which treatment decisions arebased.
Matthew has also had the thrill of studying with world-renowned therapists Brian Mulligan and David Butler, furtherexpanding his clinical skills into more diverse orthopedic and
nerve injury treatments. Not to be missed, Matthew alsotrained in the McKenzie Diagnosis and treatment of the spine.Matthew believes the combination of this training andeducation in the Australian, New Zealand and Americantreatment strategies have allowed him to provide broaderrange of treatment options thereby helping more patients.
Matthew has been a Director of Physical Therapy for 8years, helping develop spine and sports clinics into leaders intheir respective communities. He is excited and eager to bringhis skills to the Advanced Sports Medicine & PhysicalTherapy Center which specializes in:

Does your dogs or cats
ears have an odor?
Are they scratching
or shaking their head? Is there
dirt-like material in the ears?
What could it be? What
should I do? This could be an
ear infection and you should
seek medical assistance from
your veterinarian before the
condition worsens and
becomes painful. Ear infec-
tions are very common. Based
on data from pet insurance
companies, ear infections are
a top ten reason for dogs and
cats to visit their veterinarian.
Dogs and cats can have
ear infections or inflammation
of the ear canal for many dif-
ferent reasons such as allergies
(seasonal/environmental or
food allergies ), parasites like
ear mites , foreign bodies like
plant awns, endocrine diseases
such as an underactive thy-
roid, your pets ear anatomy
like excess hair or moisture,
hereditary or immune condi-
tions, and tumors.
Pets with allergies, either
to food or something they
inhale, often have ear prob-
lems. Allergies are typically
the most common cause of ear
infections that veterinarians
see. Sometimes these ear
problems may
be the first sign
of an allergy.
The inflamma-
tion from aller-
gies changes the
envi ronment
within the ear,
which leads to
secondary infec-
tions with bac-
teria or yeast. If
we just treat the
infection, we
are not getting
to the root of
the problem. We need to treat
the allergies too with diet tri-
als, immunotherapy or med-
ication.
Ear mites are a more
common cause of ear prob-
lems in cats than in dogs. The
resultant itching can be
intense and may be present
elsewhere on the body not just
the ears. When ear discharge
is seen, many people will
assume that their pets ear
infection is due to ear mites.
Ear mites discharge has a dis-
tinctive black coffee-ground
appearance whereas infectious
discharge is moister and
ranges from brown to yellow.
Other causes of ear infec-
tions include foreign bodies,
most notably plant awns.
They can cause irritation,
your pet scratches, and before
you know it we have an ear
infection. Certain endocrine
diseases can cause skin and ear
problems such as hypothy-
roidism and Cushings disease.
Certain dog breeds with
heavy, floppy ears such as
Cocker Spaniels may be pre-
disposed due to
the excess mois-
ture that builds
up in their ears.
B e c a u s e
there are many
potential causes
of ear problems,
the next step is
to visit your vet-
erinarian for a
diagnosis. Your
veterinarian will
use an otoscope
to look down
into the ear
canal. Swabs of the ear can be
taken (called an ear cytology),
and examined for bacteria,
yeast, and mites. If a bacterial
infection does not respond to
the first antibiotic therapy, a
culture and sensitivity may
need to be performed. A thor-
ough history and physical
exam may help determine if
this could be a hormonal,
allergic, or hereditary
problem and further
diagnostic testing
would be needed.
It is important to
visit your veterinarian
promptly for a diagno-
sis and treatment if
you suspect an ear infection. If
left unattended they can
become very painful, lead to
permanently narrow canals or
an ear hematoma. Ear
hematomas most commonly
occur when a dog or cat
shakes its head from an ear
infection, the ear hits the top
of their head, a blood vessel in
the ear ruptures and the loose
space under the skin will fill
up with blood. These will
have a noticeably swollen,
fluid-filled ear that is extreme-
ly painful to the touch. The
treatment of choice for ear
hematomas is surgery.
The key to healthy ears is
early treatment and preven-
tion. Check your pets ears
weekly. A slight amount of
waxy buildup may be present
in normal ears. If your dog
swims a lot, has pendulous
ears, or a history of ear disease,
routine cleaning may be rec-
ommended. Excess hair
around the ear can be clipped
by your groomer to allow more
air flow. Its also important to
treat any underlying condi-
tion, like allergies; otherwise
the condition will likely recur.

5) Now stand close behind
your child. Making sure their
feet are in line, look down: Is
one buttock more forward or
back? Are the two dimples at
the top of the buttocks in line
with the heels, or is one side
back? Looking up, is one
shoulder blade forward or
back?
6) Lastly, stand at the side of
your child about five feet away.
Draw another mental line,
starting at a point about an
inch in front of the big ankle
bone. It should extend verti-
cally up through the centre of
the hip bone, up through the
centre of the ear. Is the centre
of the hip forward of this line
(a very common fault)?
Where does the shoulder lie?
Is the centre of the ear forward
(another common fault)?
7) There are three spinal
curves when looking from the
side. Is there a very deep curve
in the lower back? Does the
abdomen protrude? Does the
top of the pelvis look like its
rocked forward? Is the middle
and upper back excessively
rounded, or very flat? Are the
shoulders rounded? Does the
curve in the neck appear non-
existent or excessive?
Check your childrens
posture regularly. If you feel
after evaluating your childs
posture that there is an abnor-
mallity, then call your family
Chiropracic physician for fur-
ther evaluation.

For kids, few holidays
are more anticipated
than Halloween. The
chance to dress up in cos-
tume and patrol the neigh-
borhood with friends while
collecting treats is the high-
light of many a childs
autumn.
For parents, anticipa-
tion is replaced by anxiety.
While kids are out trick-or-
treating, parents may be
home or at work hoping their
kids are safe and sound.
Because Halloween is so pop-
ular among kids, its hard for
parents to forbid trick-or-
treating. But parents should
instruct kids on the following
tips to ensure this
Halloween is as safe
as it is fun.
Strangers homes
are off limits. Make
sure kids know they
should never enter
the home of a
stranger, no matter
how friendly or wel-
coming that stranger
may seem.
Theres no going it
alone. Kids should
not be permitted to

Theres a vampire on the
loose, and its not
Edward Cullen or one
of the other Twilight gang.
The trouble is this vampire
doesnt only lurk at night. Its
continually sucking up your
money and affecting the envi-
ronment. But there is a way to
stop it without sunlight, garlic
or wooden stakes. All you may
have to do is pull the plug.
Vampire power, also
known by another ghoulish
name phantom load is
the power many plugged-in
devices use even when theyre
in the off position. Chances
are if the plug is warm, its suck-
ing electricity, wasting energy
and costing you money.
The Energy Information
Administration reports that in
the United States alone, vam-
pire power costs individuals
more than $3 billion a year.
While one cell phone charger
does not an energy crisis make,
multiply all of the microwaves,
televisions, alarm clocks, A/C
adaptors, etc. that are plugged
in throughout homes across the
world, and one can quickly see
how vampire power can do its
share of damage. Its estimated
that many electrical devices use
more energy and cost con-
sumers more in the hours
theyre not being used simply
from vampire power drain.
Vampire power varies inits level of destruction. Some
devices, such as chargers, have
been nicknamed wall warts
because they can waste up to 50
percent of power since theyre
always plugged in. They con-
tinually provide a charge even
if there is no device. Other
devices, such as electric coffee
pots or microwaves use vampire
power to keep clocks working
or to illuminate digital displays.

ing of internal temperature to
know when to kick the motor
into gear. Televisions use phan-
tom load to be ready on a
moments notice to recognize a
remote control signal. Other
devices use the energy to make
sure they dont have to warmup before use; certain parts of
the device are on all of the
time.
There is a growing threat
of vampire power proliferation.
As long as new technological
devices come on the market,
the chance for the vampire tosink its teeth into the electrical
supply continues. All of these
devices are known vampires:
TVs, VCRs, DVD players,
answering machines, MP3players, cell phones, stereos,
laptops, and desktops. Also,
look out for anything with a
remote, anything with a charg-
er or anything with a clock dis-play.
Fight Vampire Power Pests
1. Reduce the demand for
energy. Gadgets are certainly
fun, but think about if you needa multitude of these devices.

fied electronics and appliances,
which generally use less power.
3. Seek out the real off
switch. Some devices have a
soft power switch on the front
that simply powers down thedevice. The real off switch
may be located in the back.
4. When in doubt, simply
unplug it from the outlet.
5. Use a power strip. Plug all of
your devices into one power
strip and turn off the power
strip when not in use. This pro-
vides less hassle than juggling
plugs and outlets.6. Invest in a smart strip, which
measures power usage of com-
puters and peripherals.
Therefore, when you shut
down the computer, the
peripherals get powered down,
too.
7. Use a Kill-A-Watt device.
It tells you how much power an
electronic is using when on oroff. Itll help you identify the
biggest power drains.

Part of the fun of
Halloween is arrivinghome after a day of
trick-or-treating and having
some spooktacular treats to
enjoy. Whether
youre hosting a
Halloween party
or simply feeding a
group of hungry,
costumed kids, fun
recipes that turn
ordinary foods
into spooky spe-cialties are essen-
tial.
Mummy Wraps
Take the
pigs in a blanket
concept to a
new level with this clever
treat. Simply wrap hot dogs
with strips of dough cut from
refrigerator biscuits or bread-
sticks to simulate the look of
mummy shrouds. Place themon cookie sheets. Cut small
slits for eyes and place pep-
percorns or black mustard
seeds to serve as the eyes.
Bake for about 15 minutes, or
until golden brown. To serve
upright, place shish kabob
skewers in the mummies
before baking and then stickthe mummies in a piece of
craft foam covered in cheese-
cloth.
Cheesy Fingers
Whats scarier than dis-
membered digits on a plate?
All it takes is a package of
mozzarella string cheese, aknife and some small, thin
slices of green and red bell
peppers for this gross delicacy.
Cut the cheese sticks in
half and then use a knife to
carve straight indentations to
simulate the bends in the skin
around the knuckles of the
fingers. At the top, carve outa flattened area for the finger-
nail. Then place very small
slices of red or green peppers
to serve as the
spooky fingernails.
Adhere with a dab
of cream cheese.
Bottomless Bog
This eerie bog
will make children
question what is
inside.Make a large
bowl of green gela-
tin dessert and pop
in different edible
creepy crawlies
before allowing the
gelatin to set. Gummy worms,
grape eyeballs, sour fish,
pieces of fruit tape, and any-
thing else you can think of
can be added. Kids will scoop
out the dessert and discoverthe frightening things inside.
Skull Potatoes
Turn ordinary potatoes
into something seemingly
more sinister.

Safety first on Halloween
go out alone. When trick-or-
treating, kids should always
be accompanied not only by
their friends, but there must
be at least one adult chaper-
one present at all times.Parents should get together
several weeks before
Halloween to determine who
will chaperone, where kids
will be trick-or-treating and
during what hours.
Stay close to home. Kids
should stay in their own
neighborhood and only visit
homes of neighbors they
know. Advise kids to steer
clear of homes whose doorsare hidden from street view.
Chaperones should accompa-
ny kids to the front door if
visibility from the street is
poor.
Choose safe costumes. Kids
should wear costumes made
of light colored material. If a
child insists on a favorite
costume that uses largely
dark material, attach reflec-
tive tape to the costume so
your favorite reveler is easily
visible to motorists duringtwilight and nighttime hours
when its not always easy for
drivers to see.
No toy guns. Toy guns are
just asking for trouble, as
many of todays replicas are
easily confused with the real
thing. Play it safe and choose
costumes that arent acces-
sorized with toy guns.
Bring a flashlight along.
Night falls quickly in lateOctober, so kids and chaper-
ones alike should carry a
flashlight to improve their
visibility and make them
more visible to passing
motorists.
Stick to the sidewalks.
Trick-or-treaters should stick
to the sidewalks and always
cross the street at corners.
Dont walk in the street, and
never walk between parked
cars when crossing the street,
as its especially difficult formotorists to anticipate pedes-
trians walking or running
from behind parked cars into
the street.
Be wary of masks. Many
masks restrict a childs vision,
so look for one that provides
sufficient visibility. If a
childs favorite mask is low
on visibility, make children
agree to remove their mask
when crossing the street.Parents understandably
worry when kids go trick-or-
treating. But a few simple
safety lessons shared with
children can ensure everyone
gets home safe.

and carve each half into a
skull shape, sort of like the
outline of a pear. Bake until
the potatoes are cooked
through then frost with sour
cream. Use pieces of cheese
to mimic decaying teeth.
Black olives can be eyes and
nose sockets of the skull.
Quesadilla Ghosts
An open-faced quesadil-
la can be turned into a spookyspecter.
Cut ghost-shaped pieces
from flour tortilla shells.
Sprinkle with shredded
Monterey jack cheese and
allow baking in the oven
until the cheese has melted
and the ghosts are crisp.
Spread sour cream over the
cheese and then use slices of
scallion for the eyes and a
ring of jalapeno pepper for amouth. Ghosts can be made
gory with salsa as blood.
Vampire Veggies
What if veggies could
suck blood? Conduct this sci-
ence experiment and enjoy
eating the research afterward.
Cut the ends off of stalks
of celery. Place the celery in a
tall glass filled half-way with
tomato juice overnight. The
celery should absorb the juicethrough the thin channels in
the stalks. The next day kids
can bite into the stalks and
see the red streaks inside.
Spider web Garnish
Top cupcakes, cookies
and cakes with delicate,
homemade spider webs
Melt white chocolate
baking melts in the

facturers instructions. Use asqueeze bottle or a small spat-
ula to drizzle the chocolate

in the shape of a spider web.
Allow the chocolate to cool
and then carefully peel off the
paper.
Mashed Brains
Create a shepherds pie-
inspired dinner thats
inspired by the look of
brains.Make your favorite
meatloaf or hamburger recipe
and place into a ramekin or
even cupcake pans. Whip up
a batch of homemade or
instant mashed potatoes.
Using a pastry bag fitted with
an ordinary cake decorating
tip you can pipe squiggly
lines of potato across the
meat. Bake for around 20
minutes, until meat is thor-

Garden Club maintains several
public gardens in the Wayne
area; this provides club mem-
bers with the opportunity to
improve their gardening skillsby being involved with projects
that beautify the local commu-
nity. Join now to make your
gardening knowledge and
friendships blossom.
Jewish Family Service of
North Jersey, a recipient of
financial assistance from UJA
Federation of North Jersey, is
expanding its Kosher Meals on
Wheels program in Wayne.The Meals on Wheels Program
provides hot, nutritious kosher
meals to people age 60 and
over, or those younger who
have a disability and who are
unable to cook or shop.
Volunteer drivers bring needed
meals; offer a smile, a greeting
and a personal contact to the
elderly, many of whom seldom
get out. Drivers are needed to
deliver meals two times amonth. Presently, we are
som end because thats where
the flower started before the
pumpkin formed.
Most varieties of pump-
kins are edible, but some taste
better than others. Oncepumpkins turn orange they
can be eaten. People bake the
meat into pies, soups and
stews. It can also be used in
breads and cakes. Pumpkin
puree can replace the oil in
cake recipes much in the same
way applesauce can. Adding
pumpkin to recipes provides a
healthy way to increase nutri-
tional value.
There are many interest-ing pieces of trivia regarding
pumpkins. Here are some
things to ponder.
Pumpkins were once
believed to eliminate freckles
and were also used as a reme-
dy for snake bites.
In 2007, people in Boston
earned the world record for
the most lit pumpkins with
30,128 twinkling jack-o-
lanterns.
Thousands of people partici-pate in pumpkin chucking, an
event where air cannons pro-
pel pumpkins thousands of
feet. Each year people com-
pete to see who can launch a
pumpkin the farthest.
On September 25, 2010,
people in New Bremen, Ohio,
broke their own record when
they baked a 3,699 pound
pumpkin, surpassing their
prior record of 2,020 pounds.Pumpkins are a seasonal
delight too many come the
fall. But in addition to being
delicious, theyre also inter-
esting.
H
itting a foul shot can
be tough, especially
for a local youngsterwho wants to win the Elks
Hoop Shoot free throw
contest. He or she stands at
the free throw line, bounces
the basketball a few times,
looks up at the hoop, pumps
up the shot. The youngster
then watches it hit the rim,
roll around a couple of times,
and drop in.
Now, local kids can
participate in the WayneElks Lodge #2181 National
Hoop Shoot free throw
contest free of charge on
Saturday, November 12,
2011. The contest will be
held at the Immaculate
Heart of Mary School, 580
Ratzer Rd., Wayne, NJ. Gifts
will be given to the first 100
children registered. Winners
in each category receive tro-
phies for 1st, 2nd, and 3rdplace.
With registration at
12:30 p.m. and the contest
beginning at 1:00 p.m., com-
petition will be held for kidsage brackets 8 and 9; 10 and
11; 12 and 13. Age require-
ments are as of April 1, 2012.
A pair of sneakers and a birth
certificate must accompany
each child competing.
Kids in the Elks free
throw contest advance
through local, district, state,
regional and national levels.
Each of the three age cate-
gories will name a boy andgirl (both) winners of the
national title at the finals.
Accompanied by a parent(s),
the finals will be officiated in
Springfield, Massachusetts.
The top six national
finalists names are inscribed
in the Naismith Memorial
Basketball Hall of Fame.
This national Elks pro-
gram is meant to help build
character, while promotingintegrity, hard work, quality
family time and good sports-
manship. The Elks Hoop
Shoot contest boasts the
largest non-commercial, co-educational sports program
in America. More than three
million kids participate each
