RE/MAX Ridge Delivers Toys For Tots
BLAIRSTOWN, NJ - Last
month, RE/MAX Ridge Real
Estate delivered to the US
Marines the bounty from this
year’s Toys For Tots Christmas collection drive. The
agents of RE/MAX Ridge
Real Estate from both the
Blairstown and Washington
offices left no stone unturned
in their efforts… including
collecting toys from their
circles of clients, family and
friends.
Thanks to the heart-felt
generosity of the community,
carloads of toys made their
way to Picattiny Arsenal from
the RE/MAX Ridge offices.
Picattiny Arsenal is one of
the main distribution venues
for this wonderful US Marine
Corps charity. RE/MAX
Ridge also hosted an earlyDecember holiday party in
their Blairstown office with a
theme of ‘Bring Santa A Toy’.
xxGail
Masson-Romano,
Broker-Owner of RE/MAX
Ridge explained, “Santa, The
Grinch, Mrs Claus, Santa’s
Elves, Frosty and Rudolph and
other costumed RE/MAX
Ridge agents greeted area
children and parents alike to
our holiday party.
We
suggested to the parents that
they ask their children to help
Santa this Christmas… by
bringing him a toy.
‘By
helping Santa to fill up his
sleigh with toys he would visit
every home and leave presents
for every child.’ The response
from the community was
overwhelming and, as a result,
we received many more gifts
for our Toys For Tots
program… and the parents
captured on camera the true
‘joy of giving’ as only a child
can express.”
“RE/MAX Ridge is honored
to be a part of this charitable
endeavor and we look forward
with enthusiasm to next year’s
Toys For Tots drive. We wish
to thank all those who so
generously contributed toys
this year… bringing a little
more joy into the world
through so many children’s
hearts.”
RE/MAX Ridge offices are
located in Blairstown at 8
Main Street and in Washington at 325 W Washington
Avenue. For more information

Warren Garden Club
Honors Veterans with
Wreath at Blue Star
Memorial Highway
Marker on Rt. 80 W
Two members of Warren Garden Club
recently put a wreath to honor our
veterans during the holidays at the Blue
Star Memorial Highway Marker at the
Route 80 rest stop in Knowlton. The Blue
Star Highway designation was started in
1944 by members of the NJ State Council
of Garden Clubs. The first highway so
designated was Route 22 between Mountainside and North Plainfield which was
planted with beautiful dogwood trees. It
was to be a living tribute to the armed
forces who helped to defend the United
States. Since then there have been many
additions to the Blue Star Memorial
Highways and By-Ways. Warren Garden
Club has made it one of their continuing
projects to maintain a perennial flower
bed at the rest stop. Shown in the photo
(L to R) are Dottie Razawich of Washington and Carol Jones of Stewartsville.
Oroho, Space Introduce Legislation Establishing
“Senator Robert E. Littell Memorial Highway”
District 24 legislators Senator Steve Oroho and
Assemblyman Parker Space announced today they
have introduced legislation to rename State
Highway Rte 15 in Sussex County in honor of the
late Senator Robert E. Littell. Under the identical
bills (S-2656/A-4042), the Sussex County portion
of Rte 15 would be designated the “Senator Robert
E. Littell Memorial Highway” in honor of the late
District 24 legislator and Sussex County native
who served in the state Assembly and Senate for 40
yrs. Upon his retirement in 2008 he was the longest
serving member of the legislature, assisted in
opening two centers for child abuse victims and
sponsored legislation that led to the creation of the
Commission on Open Space, the formation of the
Garden State Preservation Trust, the preservation
of Sterling Forest, and the establishment of the
Farmland Preservation Program.
“Senator Littell was a remarkable man who

The Health Benefits of Chiropractic Care
Reprinted with permission from www.18stillwater.com and Sandy Giacobbe, D.C.
Chiropractic care is the one form of health care that
keeps on giving. Chiropractic care certainly helps
people to recover from short-term health problems,
but this powerful method of healing also helps
people stay well and assists in preventing new
problems from developing.
Your chiropractor treats a wide variety of musculoskeletal problems. Neck pain, back pain, pain that
travels from the neck to the arm and hand, pain that
travels from the back to the leg and foot, headaches,
and muscle spasms are conditions commonly treated.
Your chiropractor also treats many types of exercise
and sports-related injuries, such as rotator cuff
injuries, tennis elbow, wrist sprains, knee injuries,
ankle sprains, and shin splints. Repetitive stress
injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome are also
treated using chiropractic care. It is also known that
by taking care of the central nerve system through
chiropractic care, there may be valuable benefits to

the treatment for sleep disorders, digestive
problems, menstrual cramps, asthma, and various
allergies. Chiropractic care may also be of great
assistance during pregnancy, in helping to relieve
neck pain and back pain and to ease the process of
delivery.
Chiropractic care can be beneficial for so many
health problems owing to the fact that chiropractic
care directly affects the functioning of your nerve
system. Your nerve system, consisting of your brain,
spinal cord, and nerves that branch out to the rest of
your body, is your master physiologic system. Your
nerve system controls all the other systems by
sending signals to every cell, tissue, and organ in
your body.
Your heart relies on the nerve system so that it can
pump blood at the right time and in the right
amount. Your small intestine relies on the nerve
system so that it can complete the digestion of food
succeeded Senator Littell as the state Senate
representative in the 24th District. “Remarkably,
through his years in Trenton he maintained a
humble nature and never strayed from his priority
of personally responding to the concerns of those
in the neighborhoods he represented. ‘Bob,’ as he
preferred to be called, was a loving husband and
father and a personal friend and mentor to me and
many others. Renaming this highway in his honor
is a fitting tribute to a man who has left such an
important and lasting legacy in NJ, especially
Sussex County.”
“Senator Littell was dedicated not only to the
constituents he represented, but all of New Jersey,”
said Space. “His commitment to public service is
an example to everyone that you can make a
difference. Senator Littell loved his family and this
great state. We can never truly thank him for his
many contributions to New Jersey, but seeing his
name on Rt. 15 will always remind us of someone
who cared deeply about our state.”
and transmit usable nutrients to
the bloodstream. Your white
blood cells and other immune
system agents rely on the nerve
system so that they can quickly
identify and destroy foreign
invaders such as bacteria and
viruses.
But your nerve system can
break down, in a sense, if spinal
nerve interference is present.
Such nerve interference, from
the irritation and inflammation
of spinal nerves, is caused by loss
of full mobility of spinal vertebras. Limited spinal motion
irritates the muscles that move
the spinal bones and the
ligaments that hold those bones
together.
Inflamed
spinal
muscles and spinal ligaments
cause spinal nerve inflammation.
The immediate result is distortion in the quality and flow of
information sent from the brain
to the rest of the body. Too much
or too little information is sent to
the cells, tissues, and organs.
The messages they receive are
the wrong messages, or the
messages arrive at the wrong
time. The outcome is decreased
functioning and/or inappropriate functioning of many other
physiologic systems. Thus, spinal
nerve interference is one of the
primary causes of the many
health challenges and problems
that may bring a person to seek
chiropractic care.
Chiropractic care helps reduce
and remove nerve interference
by restoring increased functioning of your spinal column. The
direct result is improved overall
functioning of the rest of your
body. By directly focusing on
your spine and nerve system,
your chiropractor can help
restore quality of life and overall
health and well-being.
Chiropractic Care Is
Comprehensive Care
Following a complete evaluation, which includes a health
history and physical examination,
your chiropractor will design a
care plan that will help get to the
root of your pain and health
challenge and help you meet your
specific health needs. Your care
plan will include chiropractic care
focusing on improving function of
your spinal column and relieving
your pain. Your care plan will likely
include additional recommendations, such as stretches, exercises,
and information on healthy
nutritional planning and/or
whole food supplements that can
support your health regiment.
Your chiropractic care plan may
include strategies for reducing
stress and obtaining proper rest
along with other recommendations to support your recovery.
Chiropractors are well known
for their ability to treat musculoskeletal problems such as neck
pain, back pain, and headaches
and to focuses on the nerve
system. In addition, as holistic
practitioners, chiropractors have
expertise in many other areas of
health care, including nutrition,
fitness, kinesiology, immune
function and overall health. A
chiropractor may be just what’s
needed for you to benefit in
overall health and well being.

The Paulinskill Valley Chronicle - January 14, 2015
Q - My dog likes to play
in my mulch bed — is this
harmful?
A - Usually not, however,
there is one type of mulch,
called cocoa mulch, that is
toxic because it does
contain some of the toxic
compounds in chocolate.
Q - I can’t get my dog to
stop digging — help!
A-The desire to dig is very
strong,
especially
in
terrier breeds (the name
means
“earth
dog”).
Rather than try to extinguish the behavior, it is
much better to simply
offer an area that is OK to
dig in. Provide a pile of
dirt and when your dog
digs, reprimand him but
then bring him to the
acceptable area and praise
him for digging there.
You both will be much
happier.
Q - My cat often eats and
vomits but seems fine
otherwise. Why does she
do that?
A - You should first have
Q and A
After coming in from the bitter cold outside, Liller said,
“Brrr! It sure is freezing out there!!” Chloe answered, “Yeah,
Spring is so far away! I wish we could hibernate like our outdoor
friends the squirrels and groundhogs and wake up when it is here
again!! Wouldn’t that be great Liller?” Liller replied, “I don’t
know about that! If we were hibernating we would miss all of
Mom’s great cooking! I can’t do that! I love to eat, I never miss a
meal!” Chloe looked longingly over at dinner cooking on
the stove and thought a minute. She sniffed the delicious
aroma and said, “I know what you mean. Dinner smells wonderful! I can’t wait! I don’t want to miss any meals either!” Liller
replied, “See, we’d never last the whole Winter with no food!
Besides, I can’t sleep if I’m hungry!” Chloe said, “Me either!
Looks like we’ll have to skip hibernating and just wait for Spring
to come the old-fashioned way!” Then she thought for a
minute or two, brightened and said, “I got it! I know what we
can do!” Liller asked, “What? What Chloe? What did you figure
out?” Chloe smiled at her as she explained, “We can eat
Mom’s yummy dinners everyday and then hibernate every night
til Spring comes! That way we won’t miss any meals! What do
you think of that?” Liller just looked at her for a moment,
then she jumped around excitedly saying, “Awesome idea
Chloe! We’ll start hibernating tonight right after dinner!” And
that’s just what they did!

your cat examined to
make sure she does not
have a physical problem.
Many things can cause
vomiting. However, if
everything is OK, it could
be a behavior issue. Wild
cats (like lions and tigers)
will hunt and then gorge
on the prey. They then
will go back to a safe
place, vomit it up and eat
it again. Some behaviorists think this is where the
“eat and vomit” cycle
comes from.
Q - I have a lot of stray
cats hanging around my
house. Is there a way I
can get them spayed and
neutered so they won’t
keep
having
more
kittens?
A - There used to be a
state feral cat program,
which unfortunately has
succumbed to the big
budget cuts. You can try
contacting local rescue
groups which sometimes
can help with funding. If
you can trap the cats, we
would
be
happy
to
spay/neuter them on short
notice and can use dissolvable sutures so they
don’t need to come back.
Nurse Chloe Rose is here to help!
Q - My dog lives outside how can I keep him comfortable in the winter?
A - You need to make sure
he has adequate shelter. It
should be small enough
that he can conserve body
heat and protected from
wind and rain getting in.
You need a heated water
bucket or check the water
frequently to prevent it
from freezing. He may
need extra food because
he will burn more calories
staying warm. If it is
going to be particularly
bitter, you may want to
bring him in, even if it’s
into a mudroom or garage.
And remember that most
dogs
are
companion
animals and would rather
be with you than out by
themselves.

I have been in the industry with my
own company since 1994. The entire
time I have worked in this field there have
been very few times any two techs ever
agree completely. The advice I give here
is based on my experiences, testing, and
what I know works.
Today’s Subject:
Your Brand New PC
Your brand new computer, just out of
the box, and ready to be turned on for the
1st time.
Stop! Do not turn it on, not until till you
read and understand this article.
Your brand new computer, from Dell,
HP, Gateway, Acer, EMachines, Lenovo,
Panasonic, Sony, Toshiba, and ALL the
other ones out there have “bloatware” on
them. This “bloatware” is not viruses, or
spyware, it is simply the garbage trial
versions of dozens of software these
companies are paid to put into your
computer. One of the reasons computers
are so inexpensive to buy, is the companies that pay them to put this unneeded
garbage on your computer makes them
100% profit to the companies you bought
them from. These programs also are set to
run in your computers start up, which
means these must load every time you
start your brand new computer. There is a
program called “The PC Decrapifier”
Free to download and use to rid your
computer of ‘bloatware’ and trial
programs. You can download it here:
http://pcdecrapifier.com/download. This
is web site for Features of it and how to
use it: http://pcdecrapifier.com/features.
This is only step one to have a clean, well
running NEW computer from out of the
box.
Next (before you turn it on) decide
what you want your username to be, and
what password you will use. Now, this
has TWO versions. If you have a
Windows 8 Computer you must have, will
not let you go on till you have, a windows
live ID. Then you will have to use that
and your windows live id password. (then
you even want or need a password. I have
seen Owner, Administrator, Person’s
Name (your name), Puter, it can be
ANYTHING YOU want and can deal
with seeing as “Puter’s Documents” for
the life of your computer. IF you are the
only person in the house, and you never
take the computer anywhere, I see no
reason for a password, if you use a
password – WRITE IT DOWN – for you
will forget, we all have then you can’t get
into your computer. All passwords are
case sensitive, user names are not.
Now, that you have decided on your
password, you have located, or downloaded to a flash drive the bloatware
removal software, or aware of it, you can
now turn it on. Once your main screen is
up, check the Security Software that is
installed on the machine. Most companies have “Norton, or McAfee”
preinstalled “free for one year” or trial
version on your computer. These are also
been paid by Norton and McAfee to be
put on your computer, they are PAID to
sell these horrible anti-viruses to you and
put on your machine. A quote from Bob
Rankin (famous tech writer) “the trial
versions of Norton or McAfee that come
preinstalled on new PCs are overpriced
resource hogs. In fact, you don't need to
pay for anti-virus software at all! “ End
quote
If it is Norton, you must download
Norton Removal Tool to get rid of it,
otherwise it will have remints all over
your brand new computer.
You can
download the removal tool here:
http://tinyurl.com/9xesoyd . It takes a

US/windows/security-essentials-download . I also recommend
that you download two free utility
programs, One called C-Cleaner, which
you can download at http://ccleaner.com,
run this once a week to keep trash off your

cleans on the web site, for that could be
another article in its self, the Second One
is called MalwareBytes Anti-Malware,
(which
you
can
get
at
http://malwarebytes.org) or MBAM for
short. Run MBAM once a month or so,
just in case your anti-virus program
misses something. No security software is
perfect, so a second look with an
on-demand scanner like MBAM will help
to keep you safe.
Take inventory of what is on your
computer, the best thing for this is Belarc

ml, this can help you diagnose future
problems, get better tech support, and
possibly save you untold grief and piles of
money, See, if you run it now, when the
computer is new and undisturbed with
untold things later, or it doesn’t boot up,
you have all the information printed out at

Keep your computer up to date. Even
brand new, out of the box, there are
updates, there are updates from Microsoft
every month, and no one really knows
how long that computer was sitting on a
shelf waiting for you, its new owner.
These updates are NOT optional, it helps
keep your computer safe and operating
correctly.
Finally, BUT NOT LEAST, very important, find a way to make your back up,
restore disk. Computers no longer come
with a “restore disk” and you have to
make your own. If you don’t, you’re the
one that will be looking for a Windows
Operating System Disk or having to buy
another expensive one from Microsoft.
As time goes on, and you acquire files,
pictures, and projects, you will need also a
way to back them up, for no one know
what the future brings for you and your
new computer, and fortune always blesses
PAL - Pet Adoption League
PRINCESS NEEDS HELP WITH HER SURGERY ….
PRINCESS is a sweet little dog that was going to be euthanized
because her owner could not afford the emergency surgery she
required for her severely infected uterus. The condition is called
pyometra, usually caused because the female has never been spayed.
We did not hesitate to take her in when the vet contacted us about
Princess’ situation and we went ahead with the surgery so that her life
would be saved, but because we are a small rescue group and do not
have the funds to cover the cost of this surgery we are asking for your
help. Princess was on IV fluids prior to her surgery; she came through
the surgery very well and even had her own heat lamp! Princess
sends a huge “thank you” to those who have already donated to her
surgery costs and hopes that others can help. She is now out of the
hospital and recovering in a foster home. We are happy with any
contribution to help cover costs. We saved her life because we were
confident that we could get help from kind people like you.
Donations can be made to Princess’ gofundme page at
http://gofundme.com/ibnfbw, or send a check to “Pet Adoption
League”, PO Box 206, Hackettstown, NJ 07840, marked “Princess”.
We are a 501 (3) organization and all donations are tax deductible.

Discover Nature - Winter Fun!
FRELINGHUYSEN, NJ - 2015 Through
the years, the Discover Nature kids have
thoroughly been enjoying their time at Antler
Ridge Wildlife Sanctuary.
The natural
beauty that surrounds them has changed from
the glowing colors of fall to an incredible
blanket of snow. The fantastic patterns in
nature and of nature have become apparent to
the kids through the education workshops at
the sanctuary.
By exploring outdoors through all of the
seasons, they are getting a personal experience of the changes that take place around
them. For example, as they venture out to the
woods and pass the vernal pool, they notice
when it is frozen, dried up or filled with
water. Their curiosity invites them to learn
about the plants and animals that depend on
these areas for survival. It is through this
intimate hands-on experience that the kids
2
3
grasp the importance of conservation,
protecting the environment and the critters
within it. A lifelong connection is formed
and the children develop a love for nature and
a desire to protect it.
If your child would like to be part of the fun
or for more information on the Discover
Nature children’s workshops at Antler Ridge,

SUSSEX
COUNTY, N.J., December 19,
2014 - The Christie Administration continued its Fourth Annual
“Season of Service” today, as

of the Department of Labor and
Workforce Development loaded
dozens of Christmas hams into
cars and trucks outside a local
supermarket to help the Sussex
Help Center package donated
holiday dinners and gifts for
over 150 families.

month,
cabinet
officials are particularly focused
on
services
provided

volunteer their time, provides a
variety of programs to needy
Sussex and Wantage residents.
Located in a storefront on Main
Street in Sussex Borough, the
center is funded through private
donations from individuals,
businesses and churches. The
charity receives no federal, state
or government assistance.
The center accepts nonperishable
food
donations,

What’s Up!
Sussex County
Sussex County Mental Health Board to
Host Advocacy Training
The Sussex County Dept of Human Services, Mental
Health Board and partnering organizations will host a Mental
Health Advocacy Training Workshop, "Empowerment
through Advocacy," on Tues, Jan 27, 2015, from 5:00 p.m. 8:00 p.m. The Training Workshop is free and open to the
public. A buffet supper will be available; however, seating is
limited to 55 participants. It will be held in the Community
Room of the First Presbyterian Church, 54 High St, Newton,
NJ. Partnering agencies in providing the workshop include
Family Partners of Morris/Sussex, NAMI Sussex, and Saint
Clare's Intensive Family Support Services. Pre-registration is
required by calling Family Partners Outreach Coordinator,
Cheire Lozaw at 973-940-3194, or emailing clozaw@family
partnersms.org. The Training Workshop will begin with an
overview by a panel of experts on how to access the treatment
and support services available to Sussex County residents,
how to advocate effectively for legislation and funding
necessary to maintain and improve those services, as well as
to raise public awareness of the challenges faced by individuals and families affected by mental illness. Guest panelists
will include Phil Lubitz, Associate Director of NAMI NJ
(National Alliance on Mental Illness); Ann Wright, Director
of COMHCO (Coalition of Mental Health Consumers
Organizations); Elizabeth Manley, Director of the NJ
Children's System of Care; and Debra Koss, M.D., past chair
of the Sussex County Mental Health Board and past president
of the NJ Council of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. The
expert panelists will subsequently lead breakout workgroup
sessions with those in attendance representing four categories
of stakeholders: consumers, family members, parents/
caregivers of children with mental health and behavioral
challenges, and mental health professionals. The experts,
assisted by members of the Sussex County Mental Health
Board, will guide their group's discussion about issues and
needs and provide advocacy strategies and resources.
Workgroup participants will learn not only how to advocate
with legislators and policy makers, but how to advocate
within systems, including mental health treatment facilities,
workplaces, schools, health insurance agencies, etc. Those
who register to participate in the Advocacy Training
Workshop can find metered parking along Church St or High
St or in Newton Parking Lot #2 across from the Post Office on
Main St. There is also free parking available in the Sussex
County Courthouse parking garage across High St from the
First Presbyterian Church. The church has no parking lot of
its own. Registered participants should check their email or
www.familypartnersms.org for notification of cancellation

District 24 legislators Senator Steve Oroho and
Assemblyman Parker Space announced today
they have introduced legislation to rename State
Hwy Rte 15 in Sussex County in honor of the
late Senator Robert E. Littell. Under the
identical bills (S-2656/A-4042), the Sussex
County portion of Rte 15 would be designated
the “Senator Robert E. Littell Memorial
Highway” in honor of the late District 24
legislator and Sussex County native who served
in the state Assembly and Senate for 40 yrs.
Upon his retirement in 2008 he was the longest
serving member of the legislature, assisted in
opening two centers for child abuse victims and
sponsored legislation that led to the creation of
the Commission on Open Space, the formation
of the Garden State Preservation Trust, the
preservation of Sterling Forest, and the
establishment of the Farmland Preservation
Program.
“Senator Littell was a remarkable man who
earned the respect of all he met through his
kindness, fairness and dedication to bettering the
lives of all New Jerseyans,” said Oroho, who
succeeded Senator Littell as the state Senate
representative in the 24th District. “Remarkably,
through his years in Trenton he maintained a
humble nature and never strayed from his
priority of personally responding to the concerns
of those in the neighborhoods he represented.
‘Bob,’ as he preferred to be called, was a loving
husband and father and a personal friend and
mentor to me and many others. Renaming this
highway in his honor is a fitting tribute to a man
who has left such an important and lasting
legacy in NJ, especially Sussex County.”
“Senator Littell was dedicated not only to the
constituents he represented, but all of NJ,” said
Space. “His commitment to public service is an
example to everyone that you can make a
difference. Senator Littell loved his family and
this great state. We can never truly thank him for
his many contributions to NJ, but seeing his
name on Rt. 15 will always remind us of
someone who cared deeply about our state.”
