Brownie Troop Receives Flag Flown in Afghanistan

opatcong Girl Scout Brownie Troop 94584 received a United States Flag that was flown in Afghanistan on Thanksgiving Day, November 22, 2013 from a dad that returned from his tour. He also presented us with a plaque. While he was in Afghanistan, the troop collected cookie donations to send to him and then at Christmas time sent a care basket of snacks a pictures they colored. In honor of Memorial Day, the girls were taught to fold the flag and some flag etiquette by Troop 341 in preparation to march with it in the parade though the weather didn't allow them the honor. Once the Hopatcong Senior Center is complete, Troop 94584 hopes to display the flag and the plaque there.

Honoring Those Impacted by September 11


The Pentagon suffered serious damage as well. Thousands of first responders and civilians entered the affected buildings to search for or help people exit the carnage. As of 2010, it is believed that more than 800 of these responders have also died, some say from illnesses related to their heroic efforts. While the world is quick to focus on the extensive damage and loss of life that ensued as a result of this terrible day, it also is important to focus on the survivors and those who risked their own lives to save people from burning and collapsing buildings. There are a number of ways to honor the legacy of these brave people. * Establish a memorial at your home, in a neighborhood park or at a place of worship. While many memorials exist, there is certainly room for more memorials devoted to the continued on page 8 heroes of September 11.

eptember 11, 2001, is a day permanently etched in history. 9-11 carries profound meaning for many people and stands in infamy along with events like Pearl Harbor and the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. The attacks on 9-11 resulted in a total of 2,996 fatalities. Among those were the victims on the four planes, civilians working in the towers and on the ground, military personnel and civilians in the Pentagon, and first-responders to the scenes. It is believed that at least 200 people in the World Trade Center fell or jumped to their deaths from the burning towers because rescue was improbable at or above points of impact on the towers. Along with the World Trade Center primary towers, many other buildings in the area were destroyed or badly damaged from the attack. Many buildings were condemned.

911 Outdoor Service, Silent Auction Part of Netcong Day for Church
church picnic. Also, the church will have a booth that day, Netcong Day, from 11am to 5pm. It will be giving out free water and lollypops and holding a silent auction to benefit its Raise the Roof Capital Funds Campaign. The church is located at #2 Route 183 in Netcong. The churchs pastor, the Rev. Tom Kinter noted that the outdoor service started after the 911 tragedy. There is a symbolism in holding it outdoors. Just as people were forced from their office buildings that day, worshippers are going outside the safety and security of our building [for the service], said Kinter. The service is open to people of all faiths. The beautiful stone church, also known as the Church in the Glen, was entered into the New Jersey register of historic places on October 15, 2012 and the national registry of historical places on January 2, 2013. Its Raise the Roof Capital Funds Campaign is raising money to replace the roof and repair the bell tower structure, to make them water tight. One of the ways it is raising that money is through the silent auction at Netcong Day. The silent auction is a way to invite others to [contribute toward] the repair of a building that has meant a lot to the community, said Kinter. The church is home to a food pantry; AA groups meet there, as do scouts. Free community dinners have been held there, and more. In a silent auction, people view items and then submit a bid. The highest bidder wins the auction. At the churchs booth will be a variety of theme baskets and gift certificates/cards being auctioned. Some examples of the basket themes are Back to School, Going to the Beach, and Gardening. Gift cards/certificates come from a variety of local places including Fannuccis Caf and Gelato bar in Netcong, Davys Dogs in Mt. Arlington, Netcong Village Florist, and Weezers Gifts in Netcong. The hope is that many people will come to take a look and place bids. In addition to the silent auction, the church will be giving out free lollypops and bottles of water. Everyone is welcomed to come by the booth.

By Elsie Walker eptember 8th is a busy day for the Stanhope United Methodist Church. On that day, Stanhope United Methodist Church welcomes the community to its 9:30am outdoor service. The service will include a remembrance of 911. After the service, the church is inviting those who attend to stay for the annual

gram, several other State and Federal Agencies; and also as a new innovative product that is competing in New Jersey Technology Demo Day, Aug 8th in Asbury Park. We are so happy to assist our community church in cutting energy costs , said Tanja Lewit President of AlternateEsource.com. It is a new technology that allows for instant reduction in costs and takes the time and effort of changing a light bulb. The church could not afford to rip out fixtures, or pay for costly labor. At this time, this is the only product in the market today that allows for retrofitting old T12 and T8 fluorescent tubes to new T5 technology, brighter light, with absolutely no labor or down time at all.

Brady Crouch, one of the young volunteers that helped in the install said, it was so easy, just open up the covers, remove the old tube and place in the Luxadd retrofit with new T5. It really made the room brighter. Kathy Barger, office manager in the rectory sent a formal Thank You. It is people like you that make a difference and we appreciate it she stated, we want to say Thank you for the new lighting and I feel I can see again!

* Host a family get-together on or around September 11. Celebrate the life of those people who were lost on that day and focus on the positive memories. * Initiate a scholarship fund in memory of a lost relative or friend. Many businesses or even the place of employment of the deceased may be willing to contribute money to the effort. This way the individual's name will live on and be associated with something positive for years to come. * Volunteer time at a firehouse in the area or with an EMT unit. Volunteer EMTs and fire fighters are in short supply. Becoming a part of one of these units enables people to help others. * Survivors can share their stories with school children or others, imparting knowlcontinued from front page edge about the events as they unfolded. This is a strong lesson in American history and bravery. * Make a donation to a charity that offers financial support to those impacted by the events of 9-11. Be sure to check out the charity to ensure that funds are appropriated properly. * Plan a visit to downtown New York City to see the progress that has been made in rebuilding the area, and visit the memorial that has opened to honor those who lost their lives. While September 11, 2011, will live in infamy as a traumatic and horrific moment in American history, people can focus on the positive aspect of the heroes and find ways to honor their memories.

Stanhope Public School Launches Its Inclusive Preschool Program


riculum that is right for where preschoolers are in their development. We are excited to see how the children will learn and enjoy this program. Stanhope Schools certified Pre-K teacher assures that every day is filled with fun activities: children may be working on letters and puzzles one moment, playing with their friends in the next moment or helping baby plants to grow the moment after that. Felice Walker, the Supervisor of Special Services at Stanhope Schools added, Solving problems, making decisions, and resolving conflicts are such important skills, and at the heart of who a person is. These skills are important to gaining happiness and achievement, not just scholastically, but in so many other ways. Problem-solving, decision-making and conflict resolution are important parts of developing character. Through structured learning, play and discussions, we want to help children to begin to learn how their decisions affect themselves and others. About the Stanhope Schools Preschool program: Stanhope School is creating a preschool utilizing a proven curriculum. This program will create the foundation for student achievement by promoting all the ways in which children learn. The most advanced studies demonstrate that children should develop more than just intellectually in order to succeed in school. The curriculum and classroom layout has been created to be immersive and engaging. The social environment has been built to foster creative play and social development. The playground has been constructed to provide hours of energetic and creative play experiences. Each of these things and many more contribute to the development of the entire child and contributes to the foundation of his or her achievement in school.

This program offers a state certified teacher, along with many of the benefits and programs students in grades K-8 experience on a daily basis. The Stanhope Schools curriculum will feature a Department of Education approved curriculum and give pre-school students access to the school nurse, cafeteria lunches, school assemblies and other public school professionals, as needed. The Stanhope School Districts offerings are integrated into the day-to-day curriculum at the school.

Miss Gateways Outstanding Teen Pageant to be Held in Netcong


lars in scholarships to over 12,000 young ladies across the country. Second is the interview experience. In the judging process, these girls become accustomed to the interview process which our titleholders have told us has gone to help them with applying to and being accepted to college and also when they hit the job force. They get the confidence of performing on stage and they build many friendships with their pageant sisters that they maintain for life, Milone-Clapp said. In addition, through their advocacy of a cause, many contestants make a difference in their communities, such as Miss Libertys Outstanding Teen, Samantha Rizzuto, of Long Valley, who started an organization to help elementary students to develop an interest in math and the sciences. There is an entrance fee and qualifications that must be met in order to complete for the title of Miss Gateways Outstanding Teen. Milone-Clapp shared that the entrance fee of $125, which required to compete in the pageant, is used to help fund scholarships and awards presented to the girls. The qualifications for being a contestant are: A contestant must be a single female that has never been married. She must be a minimum of 13 years of age by her first appearance in a local preliminary or state competition. She can be no older than 17 years of age. She must have no children. She must be enrolled in, and attending, classes on a full time basis in an accredited, public, private or homeschooling program with passing scores. A contestant must be a resident of New Jersey and must meet the character criteria set by the Miss America Outstanding Teen Program. A teen contestant must not be eligible to compete on the Miss level in the Miss America Program at any point during the current pageant year. Parental permission is required due to the obligations that pertain to holding the title should the young lady win the competition. Although it may seem like a lot, people like Milone-Clapp are there to help. The October 5th orientation will help both contestants and parents to get a better idea of what is involved. At our orientation, we will assist the girls with completing any paperwork that they may have questions about. We will Samantha Rizzuto , Miss Libery's Outstanding Teen, talks to a group about her platform. establish the preliminary itinerary for the day of the pageant and assign the order that The orientation is not mandatory at the local the contestants will compete.

Hopatcong Resident Served In Iraq, Other Local Great Deeds Being Done
ues. Once made, a Marine will forever live by the ethics and values of the Corps," the official website of the Marines reads. The Marines live by a code of honor, that civilians may not know about. We owe respect to them for their integrity and bravery. "A code of personal integrity, honor guides those who do the right thing when no one is looking. It is not only a duty, but also a distinction, as those who possess honor are held in honor. It's found in one's beliefs, but exhibited through one's actions. Marines are held to the highest of standards, ethically and morally," reads the website. We respect these individuals for their integrity, as they serve as an inspiration to us. These are, of course, the reasons why we should honor those in our armed forces. Their strength and skill is a lot of the reason why we have our freedom. This should not go unnoticed. In addition to his time in the armed forces, Burns has attended County College Of Morris for Business Administration, and notes that he will probably be back there before too long. Since his years in the military, he has done some travelling, but he has not been able to go scuba diving lately. Ryan, in his spare time, works on his 1969 Camaro. He now meets up with other marines he served with - about once per year. They meet up in Las Vegas, and were to meet up in Ireland as well, but Burns was the only one to follow through on that trip. His sister Kristen Burns, who we featured in an article last month, "went to boot camp while I was in Iraq," he said. Kristen Burns, a Morris County resident, currently holding the title of Program Analyst, Fuze & Precision Armaments Technology, at Picatinny Arsenal and served in the National Guard from 2006 to March of this year, when she joined the Army Reserve. She is now with Psychological Operations in Jersey City, building relationships, as part of a civil affairs directive, with those that we work with overseas. Members of the public can contact this reporter to notify us of other veterans and their successes. We are trying to do ongoing features, when possible, of those serving in our armed forces. Our goal is to give credit to the brave ones who are helping to keep us safe. They certainly deserve this, so it is the least we can do. In other Hopatcong news, another young man is doing a great deed that should be recognized. Currently working on his Eagle Scout achievement, Wolff is constructing a wooden ramp at the home of a handicapped student in Hopatcong that will serve as a safe and easy path to the school bus. Chase Wolff , 16, began his Eagle project at 103 Papakating Road last Saturday, August 10th. Wolff, with the help of his Scoutmaster's and Scouts will be demolishing and existing cement pad with a piece of wood as a ramp for a handicapped classmate. They will be working diligently and hoping that by Thursdaythey will have completed a new 10 x 8 pad level with the home and 12 foot ramp leading to the driveway so that when September comes and the child goes back to school, he will have a new ramp leading him to his bus. There are many people involved from town, and some are private contractors as well. Wolff's mother Judi Wolff said "These wonderful people will be donating their time and wares for this to happen." A definte good

By Ejvind Boccolini he Musconetcong News has been featuring men and women who are serving in our armed forces, as well as veterans who have served our country. So far, we have focused on Hopatcong, likely because of how well this community is already honoring them. Other communities can contact this reporter with information on individuals from their communities. From Hopatcong, this week we feature Marine Ryan Burns. We will continue to tell the stories of local armed forces personnel. Ryan Burns, now 29, enlisted in the Marines in January of 2003, was in boot camp in 2004 and by 2005 he was with the 3rd reconnaisance battalion in Okinawa, Japan. He currently works at Picatinny Arsenal, and we thank him for his committment and service. As part of the Marine mindset - the strategical warrior mindset - "No two operations are identical, and no Marines prepare for only one type of mission." With their training and courage, they serve on some of the most significant missions for our country. Indeed, Burns has also served in Iraq, and served on the U.S.S. Essex - an aircraft carrier in the Phillipines. We thank him for his bravery and service. Burns lived in Hopatcong since he was eight years old and graduated from Hopatcong High School in 2002. He said he misses the comraderie he experienced in the Marines and added that 90 percent of the security guards at Picatinny are all veterans, like him. Burns said in a phone interview last week that he also misses the tropical weather he enjoyed while serving as a Marine. He admits that the deployments were "rough" indeed, but he was able to keep fit and have some fun with snorkeling, running, skydiving, and scuba diving while in Okinawa. "Regardless of the mission, Marines are prepared to face down the threats of our time." Certainly, this is why this is why they are the trusted few. "Marines are entrusted by our nation to both defend its interests and represent its val-

thing in Hopatcong. "Eagle Scout is the highest rank attainable in the Boy Scouts program," it reads in a Wikipedia entry of Eagle Scout. Since its introduction in 1911, the Eagle Scout rank has been earned by about two million young men. "Eagle Scouts are expected to set an example for other Scouts and to become the leaders in life that they have demonstrated themselves to be in scouting," it reads. Please feel free to contact this reporter with additional information on good deeds occuring in your community - and certainly on veterans or those currently serving in our armed forces. Their good deeds help us, and their efforts are appreciated. We thank them for their most valuable service to our country.

Byram Artist Spreads the Word through Art


She notes that it may take up to a year for an idea to become fully formed in her mind, though the actual painting takes far less time. Barry doesnt work from sketches; the paintings themselves form concretely in her mind. Once formed it her mind, its time to paint. Barry said she is fortunate to have a high ceiling in her home's family room which also has great lighting. Also, she works in the same space where she spends a lot of time. She likes that because she observes, criticizes, and decides the next step as she passes by the work throughout the day. Barry shared that, many times, common statements or familiar icons become the inspiration for her work. She is currently working on a "walk through the Bible" painting, the design being inspired by the familiar icon for AT & T. When she unveils a new work at her church, she asks for time to explain it to the congregation. She explained that several years ago, while visiting another church for a music workshop, she viewed a beautiful fabric banner displayed in the sanctuary. While appreciating the exceptional handiwork, she had difficulty discerning the subject. After questioning several members of the church, she discovered they were also uncertain of the meaning of the images. Thus, she believes it is important for those seeing a work to hear from the artist herself/himself. In that vein, a friend and colleague asked Barry if she would bring some of her paintings to St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Sparta. Barry did so this past spring and was able to share her inspiration and discuss the images. She then took 8 paintings to St. Frances de Sales Roman Catholic Church in Vernon Barry shared that she was very humbled to see the

By Elsie Walker t started about 20 years ago. Byram resident Carol Barry had always made banners out of felt and fabric for her church, but suddenly, she felt found herself going in a new direction. After visiting many small churches and large cathedrals around the world, she had experienced for herself the inspiration that beautiful artwork can provide. She wanted to give some of that to her own church, the First Presbyterian Church of Stanhope It started with a painting for a special event at school (Barry taught art in Mt. Olive Township for 40 years). That blossomed into about a dozen more works and what Barry now sees as a ministrya ministry she wants to share with other churches and groups. Hanging like banners in the Presbyterian church sanctuary, the topics of Barrys paintings include The Old Testament, the New Testament, images of progress, and mages of what has impacted the world for better or worse. Most works are not a single image, but contain a myriad of them, calling the viewer to contemplate them. A departure in style from some of the other works is Gods Peace that Passeth Understanding. The painting resembles a mosaic. Barry works on a size and type of paper that is quite portable so that her works can be easily transported and different ones hung and shown. In that way, they have a banner-style to them. A question Carol Barry frequent hears is, how long did it take you to do that? Looking at Barrys artwork, it is not surprising that people ask, though the answer may be more surprising. The thought process takes the most time, said Barry.

Children need a ticket for the Friday, Saturday and Sunday night Oldies Concerts. Lead East is put on by Appleton Productions of Long Valley. The partys host is Terry Cook, who started the event 31 years ago. One of the ways the event stays fresh and growing is thanks to those who attend. Were always open to suggestions that come from the people, said Cook. An example is this years pie eating contest that was suggested by the Hilton staff. One thing that draws people to Lead East is the variety in what it offers. What started as a car show has grown to be so much more. While cars are certainly still a huge part of it (1,800 will be shown this year), the event includes over 30 do-wop groups, strolling accapella, and 50s Karaoke and open mike. [We have] a really strong following of music enthusiasts, shared Cook. Another area of interest is dance. The event has a Senior Prom Sunday and offers free dance lessons. [How many places] can you find ballroom and jitterbug dancing, noted Cook who shared the interest in dancing has been increasing. One of the things that Cook personally enjoys are the cheap and cheesy 50s movies that will be shown at the driven-in created in the Hilton parking lot. In particular, Cook enjoys the special effects such as monsters crushing

Held August 28th September 1st at the Parsippany Hilton, the event, known as the worlds largest 50s party, includes cars from 1972 and earlier, do wop groups, movies like Teenagers from Outer Space and more.

She is more available for visits other times during the week. Because of the large dimensions of the paintings, it is also sometimes challenging to find a site compatible to display the work. Carol does have a portable stand that displays one piece at a time. Barry sees her art as a new ministry that has opened up to her. In addition to reaching people face to face, Barry is pursuing something shes been encouraged by friends to do for years: working with a company in Newton to make reproductions of many of her pieces. She is also investigating having calendars made for a fundraiser for her church. Art talks, and Carol Barrys pieces are speaking volumes.

buildings which are clearly cardboard models. This years offering will include a 3-D Vincent Price movie (glasses provided). You create a mood of having fun.and its sort of contagious, said Cook. The spirit can be found everywhere around the event. Groups showing cars will claim an island in the parking lot as their own and decorate it. Theres a pink flamingo hangout, a tiki bar (nothing served), dop wop corner and more. One group created a 10 pin bowling alley one year. In addition to things to see and do, there are vendors selling food and a variety of items. Besides the fun of the event, there is also giving. Each year theres a big 50-50 drawing to benefit Make-A-Wish. In addition, this year, the Military Transport Association (MTA) will be getting a head start on the holidays by collecting unwrapped toys for Toys for Tots to be delivered to the US Marine Reserve Unit at Picatinny Arsenal. The toys will be distributed to needy children in the north Jersey area. The MTAs jeep will be located in the front Lead East vendor area. Reflecting on the popularity of Lead East( about 15,000 20,000 attend), Cook notes that the event reflects a more innocent time. It was a time that the only gun a child even touched was a toy one, not a real one. The world was not the way it is today. But now, for one weekend a year, people get a chance to visit those earlier days and enjoy the fun, through a time portal held at the Parsippany Hilton. http://www.leadeast.net

Dive Into The Healthiest Water With Ionized Alkaline H2O


drinks are also highly acidic as well as carbonated drinks such as soda which do not hydrate the body and can be bad for ones health. To date, there are 300 hospitals in Japan and 3,200 restaurants worldwide that use the ionizing water device in their establishment. The water device or machine is the size of a coffee pot and can be placed on the counter or even under a counter. It ties into the cold water line under the sink and then filters water through seven medical platinum coated titanium plates with 23 watts of electricity. With a double carbon anti-filter, the electric current goes through the titanium plates to work as an ionizer. The device makes different waters by altering the ph levels, creating waters that are suitable for drinking, taking medicine, cleaning and beauty water.. For best results, with water that is most oxidizing and highest alkalinity, water should be drunk within 48 hours. The water is also healthy for pets, as well as for bodily and household cleaning. The electrical charge wears off every hour up to 48 hours and weakens gradually, says Ercolano. Its always best to drink the water right from the machine. With that being the case, this alkaline water can not be sold in bottles. Since chemicals leak in plastic bottles, Ercolano makes his own to go drinks by putting the water from his ionizing water filter into DPA3 bottles to take the water with him for the day when away from his home. A separate unit is available for the shower to provide beauty water to the skin and hair that helps reduce wrinkling and antiaging. While there are several different devices available at different price ranges, customers who try the ionized water system will pay about $1 a day over the next 15 years. Devices, which come with a five-year warranty, are built to last 15 years for commercial use and 20 years for residential. There are competitors out there, says Ercolano, with systems from Korea, Taiwan and China but they are made out of metal, disintegrate in 12 to 18 months and the water starts to taste medicine. The product that Ercolano distributes comes with a cleaning cartridge that can be removed and cleaned every three to six months to clean the ionizers that can build up scaling from calcium in the water.

By Cheryl Conway ost health experts and medical doctors would agree that drinking lots of water daily can only better ones health.but how many have considered the type of water that should be consumed? There is a water on the market that contains antioxidants and alkaline, and through medical studies has proven to improve health while reducing many diseases and illnesses. A medical device was developed out of Japan 39 years ago and works to take out the impurities from tap water. The device that was designed to restructure drinking water is available to hospitals, restaurants and homes world wide and may very well be the best water for drinking, bathing and cleaning, according to experts. The Japanese company claims that its water flushes out toxins better than regular water. You end up with a very powerful antioxidant, says Rick Ercolano of Manahawkin, independent sales representative and distributor of the restructured ionized water, much more powerful than any fruit, vegetable or green tea would give you. Ercolano, who presents weekly seminars about the oxidizing water, says one glass of this water equals 30 glasses of green tea, which is high in antioxidants. The water also contains alkaline which gives you energy and is also micro-clustered, which creates super hydrating water to super hydrate the body. The ionized water is healthy water thats alive that makes people feel better and gives them more energy, he says. According to studies and testimony, the iodized or alkaline water has reduced the risks for diseases and conditions such as acid reflux, gout, arthritis, cancer, diabetes, chronic headaches, back and joint pain, digestive problems, high blood pressure, muscle cramps, eczema and psoriasis, wrinkles and more. There are clinical studies published in the National Institute of Health (NIH) website that show the effectiveness of this water. Cancer lives in an acidic environment but cant survive in an alkaline environment, says Ercolano, a public speaker and wellness educator for more than 30 years. Bottled water can be in storage for six to 12 months. Its not made fresh. Chemicals are in there. He says the water that is sold in the five gallon plastic jugs contain even a greater percentage of chemicals, and many sports

After washing a bag of cherries from the supermarket you can see the discoloration in the water that you would normally consume. When you purchase produce odds are they were sprayed with pesticides. Regular water will not remove oil based pesticides, but using a strong water will remove them, in return keeping you healthier.

It is the only ionizer in the world with a gold seal certification from three organizations which include the Water Quality Association, Natural Sanitation Foundation and the American National Standard Institute. It makes people feel good, says Ercolano. It gives them more energy. It helps build up their immune system with antioxidants. An antioxidant is a donor; if theres an abundance of electrons that are available it helps to protect the immune system. The cost is less than a $1 a day for a family over the next 15 years, he says. Its the next mega trend. Everyone will own one within the next seven years. It works real fast. Mary Lalama of Flanders, who bought the water ionizing machine about two years ago with her husband Joe Nicastro says, The water is really great. It's amazing to see all the chemicals that come off the fruits and veggies that we buy at the supermarket. I make ice tea with it and have the container in the refrigerator. You just put the 9.5 water in with some tea bags, and it brews within minutes, no boiling, nothing. The oxygen in the water permeates the tea bag so easy...but if you try regular water it doesn't do anything. My brother has gout really bad, he bought a filter and he can pretty much avoid any flair ups even when he eats foods he shouldn't, says Lalama. Nicastro says they use the water for drinking, cleaning the food, sterilizing and cleaning without chemicals, feeding ani-

mals and as beauty water. He likes how it does not fill you up and I can drink a gallon of water a day when I can't even finish regular or bottled water which fills me up. Nicastro, who used to drink bottled water, bought the system after I read about the benefits. I also saw a demo that showed drinking one can of soda I would need six glasses of ionized water to get rid of acid. Acid causes the body to have issues. Whether it was energy drinks or even bottled water the effects those were having on my body made me realize that I needed to do something. Ionized water has been the best thing for my health. Since drinking the ionized water, Nicastro says he has more energy, has less sluggish afternoons, less acid reflux and aches and pains. People that try this water see a difference right away, says Nicastro. It is not like taking a vitamin where you wait to see if there is a result. You feel it almost from the minute you drink it. We have enough harmful chemicals in our foods and the air we breathe. This water is amazing and especially children should be drinking this from a young age. Nicastro says It is best to get it fresh everyday has the best strength that way. Very good water and really good for you we love it. For more information of the ionized water system, go to www.healthsuccesscenter.net. Ercolano gives lives presentations on Tuesdays in Paramus at 11 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. Registration is required.
