Nurse Chloe Rose
Donnelly
Nurse Chloe greeted her last patient for the day, a shortbrown dog with long hair complaining of not being able to eat!
However, he was so shy that whenever she tried to examine his
face or head he would turn away and duck his head under his
armpit and squeal in agony until she stopped! “Young man I
need to examine you! I think you may have a bad tooth in
there and that’s why you’re unable to eat anything!” she told
him. “Noooo!”, He answered in a somewhat muffled voice
from all of that hair over his face, “You’ll yell at me!” She
replied, “I’ve seen bad teeth before. Now open up before I
stick this giant needle in your behind!” Afraid of the needle, ♦
he promptly opened his mouth. Two long white plastic pipes
were duct taped to his front teeth! Shocked, she asked him, “Dedicated to serving

GROUND HOG DAY is celebrated
on February 2. According to
folklore, if it is cloudy when a
groundhog emerges from its burrow
on this day, then spring will come
early; if it is sunny, the groundhog
will supposedly see its shadow and
retreat back into its burrow, and the
winter weather will persist for six
more weeks. Modern customs of the

♦ Dogs' eyes have large pupils and a ♥ A cat cannot see directly under

and decreases the lens’s
ability to focus. The agerelated deafness is a nerve
issue and not reversible.
The good news is that
these changes are gradual
and your pet will usually
adapt quite well. If your
pet is showing these problems, we should perform a
physical to make sure they
aren’t caused by something we can fix like an
ear infection or cataracts.
Q - What is a dog’s
normal temperature?
A - Dogs and cats are
normally 100.5 to 102.5,
so they are much warmer
than we are. In fact, at
98.6, people run colder
than
most
domestic
animals,
which

Here’s Gloria Judd of EHR
Meet Gloria Judd from Eleventh Hour
Rescue. She is a lab/pit bull mix who is
about 4 years old. Gloria is a sweet girl
with a beautiful face that smiles at you. She
gives kisses and affection and her whole
body wiggles when she wags her tail. She
loves to ride in the car, go for long walks
and play with toys. Gloria also loves to
snuggle and would easily curl up with you
and relax. Gloria likes everyone she meets
and has a lot of love to give, but would do
best in a home with older children. She also
must be the only pet in the house - she does
not want to share her people with any other
dogs or cats, but she has SO much love to
give! Gloria has perfect house manners and
is housebroken. She even knows how to
"sit" and give "paw" - she is the total
package! To read more about Gloria Judd,

Leo
Meet Leo from Eleventh Hour Rescue.
Leo is a lab/pit bull mix who is about 6
years old. Leo thought he had found his
forever home when he was adopted from
EHR 3 years ago. Sadly, he had to be
returned because his owner had to move
and could not take him along. So Leo
once again finds himself without a home
and without a family. Leo the Lovebug,
as his volunteer friends like to call him,
is gentle in every way. Once he knows
you, he will smother you with kisses and
his tail never stops wagging. Leo has a
great personality and it shows in his
sweet brown eyes that just beg you to
love him. Leo knows some basic obedience, is great while walking on the leash,
and rides very nicely in the car. He is
housebroken, is good with adults and
older considerate children, and likes
other dogs - but prefers spending time
Q - Can cats tolerate
over-the-counter medications better than dogs?
A - In a word: NO! All of
the over-the-counter antiinflammatories are toxic
to cats including aspirin.
Cats’ livers are very
different from ours and
dogs’ and they cannot
metabolize these medications well.
Q - My cat has diabetes
and I have three other
cats — how can I prevent
this from happening to
them?
A-For cats, the number
one risk factor for the
development of diabetes
mellitus is obesity. By
keeping your cats at a
normal weight, you will
greatly decrease the risk
of diabetes as well as
urinary problems.
Q - Is it okay to give my
cat milk?
A - It’s fine as long as it
doesn’t cause diarrhea. As
much as cats like milk, it
Q and A
After weathering another winter storm, Liller said, “Brrr! I
can’t stand freezing my tummy and paws anymore!! When is
Spring coming?” Chloe answered, “We have to wait for the
groundhog to find that out Liller!” Liller replied, “Really? How
long does that take?” Chloe thought a minute and said, “We
find out on Ground Hog Day on February 2nd!” Liller replied,
“What? That’s too long to wait! I need to know now! We’ll freeze
by Februuary 2nd!” Chloe said, “Ok what do we do?” Liller said
to get dressed to go outside to their friend the ground hog.
He should know something about it! So they left and soon
came upon his den. “Hey Mr. Ground Hog! Get up! This is an
emergency!!” Liller yelled into his tunnel. “What? What’s
happening out there? Why did you wake me up?”, he
demanded. Liller answered, “We’re tired of Winter and need
you to tell us when Spring is here!” He looked at her as if she
were some kind of a nut (which she was) and said, “That’s
not what I do! I’m just a plain old country ground hog! You need
professionals for that information!!” “What professionals?”,
asked Liller. He answered, “You need Punxatawney Phil my
fifth cousin removed - it’s his job in Punxatawney, PA on February 2nd every year. He makes big bucks plus gets all the carrot
cake and hot cocoa he wants! Now go bother him and leave me
alone!”, as he went down his hole to go back to sleep! And
that’s just what they did - they packed their bags and took
off for Punxatawney, PA and Ground Hog Day! Lookout

often doesn’t agree with
them. They make a product called “cat milk” as a
treat (available in the pet
food aisle) which may be
a better choice.
Q - My dog has been
shaking his head and
scratching
his
ears.
Could this be an infection?
A - It certainly could be.
There are different things
that can cause this, but the
most common are yeast
infections, bacterial infections and allergies. By
looking in the ear and
possibly doing cytology
(taking a swab and looking at it under the microscope)
and/or
culture
(sending a swab to the lab
to find out what organisms are growing in the
ear and what antibiotics to
use), we can decide on the
best course of treatment.
Q - My old dog doesn’t
seem to see or hear well
anymore. Is there anything I can do?
A - It’s hard to see our
beloved friends get old.

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:
Facebook scams and why
users fall for them
This article is written by: Zeljka Zorz,
An award winning editor – Very Informative.
The two main reasons why scammers
are grateful for Facebook's existence are
the fact that they can easily access a great
number of people in a short period of
time, and the fact that victims often end up
"endorsing" the scams and by doing so
add an aura of legitimacy to them.
It's easy to get lulled into a false sense of
security, as Facebook often seems like a
private and secure part of the Internet
where one meets up with friends and
family and mostly keeps tabs on their
personal matters. But, it's not, and every
user would do well to remember it.
Here is a list of the most popular scams
lurking on Facebook, often repeated with
small modifications, and obviously still
successful.
Facebook account-themed scams
Facebook changes its look and functionalities often, but a lot of users dislike any
kind of change. This normal human
tendency is often misused by scammers
who offer bogus Facebook Timeline
deactivation options.
xxxAn even greater number of scams
targets those who aren't satisfied with
features offered by the social network and
are tricked into believing that there are
ways to add functionalities such as the
ability to view who checks out their
profile more often, view who has deleted
or unfollowed them, to see how many
hours they spent on Facebook, to post
again their first post, to add a Dislike
button, to change their Facebook color
theme, and even to add a Facebook
Facebook is giving out something for free:
an official Facebook T-shirt or mug to
celebrate the social network's birthday, the
random $50,000 reward, free Facebook
Credits, or even a free mobile recharge.
Lastly, there are scams that try to scare
users into doing something because
Facebook is closing all accounts, will
close theirs because of overpopulation,
will start charging users, or the Facebook
Security Team will suspend their page.
It's also good to know that Facebookthemed scams - and especially phishing
attempts and malware-infection attempts can often come in the form of fake
Facebook notification emails - password
change notifications, account cancellation
(or deactivation) warnings, offensive
comment notices, friend requests, and so
on.
Scams that offer free goods from
third-parties.
Many of these scams target users that
want Apple devices such as iPads, iPad
Minis and iPhones. There are also bogus
$200 Ebay gift cards, $500 Target vouchers, airline tickets, Breaking Dawn Part 2
tickets, and more.
Scams that take advantage of news
or fake news
It could be fake news about the death of
a famous individual, real news about such
a death, natural disasters, human
tragedies, and anything else that has the
potential of capturing the attention of
millions of people around the world.
Scams that take advantage of the
innate curiosity of people
There's a wide variety of amazing,
funny, embarrassing videos and photos,
often grabbing the victims' attention with
messages that start with "OMG!!!",
"WTF!!!" and "I can't believe that..."
These appear on a daily basis and usually
spread very fast on the social network.
What are the scammers after?
They aim to get some or all of these
things:
• Email address and phone number for
spamming purposes
• Personal information for identity theft
purposes
• Users to inadvertently subscribe to pricy
mobile services (by hiding the fact in very
small print at the end of the page)
• Users to inadvertently allow continuous
access to their account to malicious
Facebook apps, along with the ability to
post things on the users' Timeline in their
name
• Users to complete online surveys so that
the scammers can get paid for each one
• Users to "Like", "Share" or in any other
way inadvertently or knowingly promote
a wide array of scams and pages that are
set up for the sole reason to spam their
followers
• Users to download malware, adware or
grayware disguised as YouTube plugins,
video player updates, and similar
legitimate software.
Why do these scams succeed over and
over again?
There are many reasons:
• Users can't curb their curiosity
• Users - especially Internet novices - are
not aware that such scams exist so they
are easily tricked or scared into clicking
offered links
• Users implicitly trust posts and links on
Facebook because they originate from
friends and family
• Users wrongly consider Facebook a safe
place on the Internet.
Many users don't even bother to learn
about these scams, and will fall for them
over and over again because they either
fail to realize they fell for them already, or
that the fact that they did not get the free
iPad, a new Facebook feature or saw the
funny video is not because they failed to
do what was asked of them or there was a
glitch in the app or the Internet, but
because these things weren't there to be
had in the first place.
I am always about saving money and
not spending it on things you don't need
to.

PAL - Pet Adoption League
David
THIS LITTLE CUTIE IS LOOKING FOR HIS
NEW HOME ...
DAVID is a loving, small whippet mix who has lost his
home due to a change in the family situation and he is
hoping that he can find his new family very soon, as he
misses having a home and someone to love him. He
bonds very closely and wants to be with his favorite
person as much as possible. He enjoys daily walks, but
would love a nice warm lap to curl up on during these
cold winter months and watch TV with you. He is very
good in the car, loves to look out the window at everything, and walks well on the leash on his daily outings
with the PAL volunteers.
He is a sweet little dog and will make some lucky
person a great companion. He would like to be the only
dog, so that he can get all of the attention. David weighs
15 pounds and is neutered and vaccinated.
David is currently in the care of the Pet Adoption
League, Hackettstown. For more information on David
or any of our pets, please contact us at www.palpets.org,

Here’s Tatum of EHR
Meet Tatum from Eleventh Hour
Rescue. Tatum was born about 3
years ago in the home of a wonderful Eleventh Hour Rescue foster.
He was adopted out as a little
puppy but returned when he was
about 2 through no fault of his own.
Tatum is an active Pointer mix who
loves to run, hike, and never turns
down a long walk in the park.
Tatum is living at the kennel right
now but stays overnight at his
volunteer friends' house. He has
good house manners, is
crate-trained, and is a CUDDLE
BUG. He seems to be a bit nervous
around really young children but is
good with older, considerate kids
that he has met at adoption events.
Tatum gets along with some dogs
but it is important that he is
introduced properly to other dogs
to make sure they get along. True
to his breed, he has a high prey
drive and would prefer a home with
no cats or small dogs. To read
more about Tatum, to complete an
application for him, or to see all of
the adoptable pets, please visit:

Discover Nature - More Winter Fun!
FRELINGHUYSEN, NJ - 2015 With the
ground now fully covered in a blanket of
snow, it truly looks and feels like winter. To
many adults, this is a time of shoveling and
inconvenience. But, to a child, this is a
dream come true! The kids in the Discover
Nature Citizen Naturalist workshop found
yet another way to enjoy the snow. They
made beautiful ice and snow creations!
There were many different sculptures, but the
hearts were particularly nice. Some of the
kids decided to make icy snow hearts for
their parents and give them to them
Valentine’s Day. The imagination of a child
goes far beyond the scope of most adults. A
hand-made, one of a kind Valentine for sure!
Let’s all take a little more time to get outside,
enjoy the snow and create something fun.
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,

PHOTO: Pictured below we see how the Discover
Nature kids had lots of fun creating these snow
sculptures. Some were more practical shapes

sharks and snowmen while others were more
sentimental like the heart shaped valentine
sculptures. They had a good time making them at
ARWS! So come on down and join the fun!

The Paulinskill Valley Chronicle - January 28, 2015
This is my tiny niece Josephine. She is an
incredibly strong, happy, brave little girl who
loves listening to music and reading stories with
her mom and dad. She also has hydrocephalus.
Hydrocephalus is a condition where there is too
much fluid inside the ventricles of the brain,
causing pressure to build inside the skull. It can
cause developmental delays, learning disabilities
and problems with memory and coordination.
There is no cure for hydrocephalus, and the only
treatment is brain surgery. Josephine will need a
shunt and ongoing medical care for the rest of her
life. This fundraiser is to help my brother Joshua
and his wonderful wife Meagan with some of the
costs of Josie’s treatment that are not covered by
their insurance.
Josephine made quite an entrance into the world
when she was born prematurely on May 21, 2014
at 29 weeks, 2 days by emergency c-section. She
weighed only 2lbs 4oz. Her mom, Meagan, had
severe preeclampsia causing dangerously high
blood pressure putting her at risk for a stroke or
seizure. The only cure was to deliver Josephine
early. Since her birth she had endured 4 surguries
to help her stay alive.
Finally, after 70 days in the NICU, Josie was
released from the hospital and came home with
her parents. Meagan and Josh But Josephine's
fight continues. Her January MRI showed that
her shunt seemed to be malfunctioning. She had
surgery on January 13th, replacing her old
malfunctioning shunt with a new one. She came
home two days later, but was clearly uncomfortable. Her parents knew something was wrong
and brought her for another MRI. Her fifth brain
surgery followed one week after the fourth. There
Please Help With Josie’s Journey
is no cure for hydrocephalus and Josie also has to
overcome the same struggles as every premature
baby. She needs physical therapy every week to
hopefully catch up developmentally.
The financial burden this has placed on Josie's
parents is overwhelming. Although they have
medical insurance, there is so much that is not
covered. The doctor suggested both physical and
occupational therapy at least once per week, but
insurance will only pay for thirty visits per year.
Insurance denied the Synagis vaccine (used to
prevent RSV, a respiratory virus very dangerous
for preemies) because Josie was not premature
enough; she missed the cut-off by two days. At
over $2,400 per injection and a series of 5
injections needed, her parents simply could not
afford it. Their second appeal was also denied
and they are beginning the appeal process again.
Joshua works at our family campground, but his
salary cannot keep up with the continual medical
expenses that are piling on top of their regular
living expenses. Because of Josie's medical
needs, Meagan is not able to return to work and
spends most of her days going to and from doctor
appointments and therapy sessions.
How your generous gifts will help Josephine
and her parents:
To pay for tests, medication, vaccinations and
therapies not covered by insurance; Help cover
insurance co-pays and deductibles; Cover gas
and lodging expenses when traveling to and from
the hospital and doctors’ appointments.
Every little bit helps and is greatly appreciated.

WNTI's showcase series at Millrace Pond debuts
Feb. 6 with NWR's Gina Rajeckas Royale
WCCC SLATES ANNUAL HIGH SCHOOL
WRITING CONTEST
HOPE - WNTI prides itself on not only playing great
music of established musicians, but also highlighting up
and coming talent, particularly when it comes to Northwest New Jersey. A new showcase series that focuses on
these up and coming artists kicks off at the Inn at Millrace
Pond in Hope on Friday night Feb. 6 with Blairstown's
Gina Rajeckas Royale taking center stage in The Tavern.
WNTI DJ Jeff Rusch, whose Saturday morning show,
Crow's Nest, has been a fixture at the station for many
years, will host the Tavern Showcase Series.
"This is an opportunity to give some very talented
musicians a showcase to perform live," said Mel Thiel,
Development Director and Manager of WNTI. "We have
an amazing pool of talented musicians in our region and
we want to use this series to highlight them in a cozy
setting."
The historic Inn, a B&B/Restaurant located in the heart
of Hope, will host the WNTI Showcase as a semi-regular
event at the Inn. Admission is $10 per person, with
proceeds going to WNTI, a public non-profit radio station.
Rajeckas Royale, a senior at North Warren Regional
High School, plays the piano and has an amazing voice
that will surely take her places in the years to come. A
contemporary singer/songwriter, she is a driven musician
with passion. Her upcoming EP, "Heir", is a compilation
of a few of her original songs. Inspired by a teacher, an
ex-friend, and a guy, Royale pours her heart into the EP,
drawing inspiration from a wide variety of artists such as
Stevie Wonder, The Broods, P!nk, John Mayer, Michael
Jackson, and The Beatles. Royale has sung and played the
piano for almost all her life, but she started writing her
own songs at 14 years old. "After writing my first song, I
remember sitting at the piano and just soaking it in," she
remembered. "The fact that I just put my thoughts and
feelings into my own song was awesome. It was unreal."
Since then, she has come a long way with an abundance of
support from family, friends, and fans. Her ultimate goal is
for her music to inspire people across the globe. "I want
my music to do for people what it does for me; music
heals, and music inspires," she said. FMI about Royale

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

XXKnowlton Township Elementary
School held its annual school spelling bee
on January 9th. The school spelling bee
winner, Lily Starrs, will now move on to
the Express Times preliminary written
exam which will take place on February
26th at Northampton County Community
College. The preliminary Bee will be a
25 word written exam. Top-ranking
spellers from the preliminary Bee will
move on to the 28th Annual ExpressTimes Regional Spelling Bee. The champion of the 28th Annual Express-Times
Regional Spelling Bee will win a trip to
Washington, D.C., to compete in the
Scripps National Spelling Bee.
The entire school promoted the spelling
bee all week long. Students created
encouraging posters for the spelling
competitors and hung them throughout
the school’s hallways. Staff members and
students participated in “Tip Your Hat to
Our Spellers Day” where students wore
hats to school. They also had days to
wear stripes, dress in the school’s colors,
and, on the day of the Spelling Bee, the
students wore yellow and black to
support the spelling bee.

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
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

history and physical examination,

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

McHose-Space Sarcoidosis Awareness Month Resolution Advances
To help raise awareness about
Sarcoidosis, a systemic inflammatory disease that affects the
organs, Assemblywoman Alison
Littell McHose and Assemblyman Parker Space sponsor legislation designating April of each
year as "Sarcoidosis Awareness
Month.” The resolution today
received approval from the
Assembly Health and Senior
Services Committee.
Sarcoidosis and cancer may
mimic one another, making the
distinction difficult. Its cause is
unknown and there is currently
no cure.
“Since Sarcoidosis is so difficult to properly diagnosis
because of its various symptoms
and similarities to cancer, it’s
important that we educate the
public and increase the understanding of this disease between
its victims, the medical profession and the citizens of New
Jersey,”
said
McHose,
R-Sussex, Warren and Morris.
“Individuals who suffer from
the disease need and deserve our
support. This designation will
help heighten public awareness
about this neglected, chronic
and disabling disease.”
McHose was made aware of
the disease from one of her
constituents, Nancy TornilloHarris, who is in the process of
establishing
a
Sarcoidosis
support group in Northwest
Jersey.
“Experiencing symptoms of
a disease, but not having a firm
diagnosis is very frustrating,”
stated Space, R-Sussex, Warren
and Morris. “That’s why education is one of our best weapons
against Sarcoidosis. This designation will hopefully serve as a
springboard to a broader awareness
of
this
debilitating
disease.”
Sandra Conroy, President and
Founder of the National Sarcoidosis Resource Center, said
diagnosis is often difficult,
which adds to the frustration of
those who are experiencing
symptoms.
"Sarcoidosis is often mistaken
for other diseases, such as
multiple sclerosis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, and
tuberculosis,"
said
Conroy.
"There are thousands of people
in New Jersey that are living
with Sarcoidosis and support
from Assemblywoman McHose
and Assemblyman Space means
so much."
Sarcoidosis most commonly
affects young adults of both
sexes, although studies have
reported more cases in females.
Common symptoms are vague,
such as fatigue unchanged by
sleep, lack of energy, weight
loss, aches and pains, arthritis,
dry eyes, swelling of the knees,
blurry vision, shortness of
breath, a dry hacking cough or
skin lesions.

Debra Koss, MD, to discuss challenges of
mental illness in children and teens
On Thursday evening, February 5, Child and Adolescent
psychiatrist Debra E. Koss, MD, will speak with members
and guests of NAMI Sussex on "Overcoming the Challenges
of Mental Illness in Youth." The public is welcome to attend
this free program sponsored by the Sussex County affiliate of
the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). Dr. Koss's
presentation will be held from 7:00-8:30 p.m. at Bridgeway,
93 Stickles Pond Rd., Newton, NJ. The program will be
informal in nature and will include time for questions and
discussion with the doctor.
Debra E. Koss, MD, is a board certified child and adolescent
psychiatrist who has been in private practice in Sparta since
1999. She provides psychiatric evaluation, psychotherapy
and medication treatment for children and adolescents. Dr.
Koss is the immediate past chair of the Sussex County Mental
Health Board and is also a past president of the New Jersey
Council of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. She is actively
involved in advocacy, both at the state and national levels, to
increase awareness regarding mental illness in our youth and
to promote the importance of improved access to early
intervention and treatment. Dr. Koss participates in NAMI
NJ's "Educating the Educators" program. This program serves
to inform teachers and other school personnel about mental
illness and to provide them with practical tools for schoolbased accommodations to help children with social and
emotional disorders. Dr. Koss's talk will be followed at 8:30
p.m. by the monthly business/advocacy meeting of NAMI
Sussex. FMI or directions, call 973-214-0632.

Free Job Training Program for
Women Starts in February
Project Self-Sufficiency (PSS) announces the spring
session of its popular employment training program,
“Higher Opportunities for Women,” will launch Feb 3rd.
The 16-week HOW Program combines intensive
computer skills training with classroom instruction and
off-site internships to prepare women who have been out
of the work force or underemployed to seek entry-level
office administrative positions. Computer training and
classroom instruction will take place at the agency’s
campus located at 127 Mill St in Newton. Women who
take part in the agency’s HOW program can expect 80
hours of computer skills training, including instruction in
Microsoft Word, Excel and other applications. The HOW
program also includes 40 hours of classroom instruction
and 120 hours at an unpaid externship at a community
employment site, which further prepares participants to
successfully venture into the job market. Coursework
focuses on workplace navigation, life skills training,
resume preparation, and interviewing strategies. Over the
years, PSS has partnered with a variety of local
businesses, non-profit organizations and government
entities to provide HOW participants with externship
opportunities. Participants gain real-life work experience
while honing the computer skills they have received as
part of the HOW training program. Since the HOW
program’s inception, more than 700 women have gained
self-confidence and learned marketable skills which
placed them on the path to economic self-sufficiency.
Deborah Berry-Toon, Exec. Director of PSS explains that
the HOW program is more than just a job-skills program.
“The Higher Opportunities for Women program offers
participants the opportunity to gain the skills and
confidence to compete in today’s job market, and that in
turn, helps put food on the table, pay the rent, and
ultimately turn around the prospects for the entire family.
PSS is in the business of changing lives. Giving our
participants the tools necessary to become economically
self-sufficient makes families stable and helps the entire
community.” PSS’s “Higher Opportunities for Women”
program launches on February 3rd. To enroll, or for FMI,
call PSS at 973-940-3500.

WASHINGTON TWP. – Warren County
Community College is No. 1 in NJ, and 44th in
the nation in a special report recently released by
Community College Week, signifying the fastest
growing community colleges in the U.S. The
report is based on 2014 figures for “headcount”.
WCCC was named in the Enrollments Under
2,500 category. In the past 10 years, overall
enrollment at the college has more than doubled.
In addition, WCCC owns one of the highest
graduation rates for community college students
in the state.
“We really take pride in offering programs
and degrees that are important in our community,” said Dr. Will Austin, President of the
college. “Being recognized as No. 1 in NJ and
44th in the nation, while also having high
graduation rates and the lowest tuition in the
state (including fees), is an all-around winner for
the people of our county. All these successes add
up to job growth and community commitment.”
WCCC certainly has grown in other ways: it
has completed two major expansion projects and
a library expansion was completed, numerous
new and very successful programs were added
such as Nursing and the VIPER program
(Veterans in Pursuit of Educational Readiness),
which has gained national attention for its ability
to let veterans seamlessly gain their associates
degrees.
"When President Obama recently called for
free tuition for community college students, he
was saying something that we at WCCC already
knew,” said Peter Schmidt, Chair of the
college’s Board of Trustees. “That students of all
kinds, both recent high school graduates as well
as those people whose lives took a different
direction after high school, are seeing the importance of gaining new expertise, developing or
fine-tuning new skills, and being in an environment that enriches one's life in so many different
ways. The college will continue to grow so long
as it meets the needs of the people whom we
serve in Warren County."
