Local Students Participate In 2015 Mathnasium TriMathlon
tudents in Chatham, Livingston,

Millburn, South Orange and Short
Hills showed their strength in numbers last month at Mathnasium's Fifth Annual National TriMathlon.
Joining hundreds of their peers in Mathnasium Learning Centers across the United
States and Canada on Sat., Oct. 17, the local
participants gathered at Mathnasium of Livingston to test their math skills while raising
funds for local schools. The TriMathlon is
a free, fun-filled math event held annually
in the fall that allows elementary school
students to demonstrate their mathematical
skills in a festive atmosphere.
Open to second through fifth grade students, atleast 43 students registered at the
Livingston Center and six at the Chatham
Center by early October.
"We had a record turnout and a lot of fun
this year!" remarked Jodi Ralston, adding
"The TriMathlon is intended to both promote and celebrate a culture that fluently
speaks the universal language of math, a
culture in which mathematics represents a
rewarding challenge - not a tedious chore."
Ralston co-owns and operates local

Mathnasium centers with her husband,
James. Their centers in Westfield, Summit,
Chatham, and now in Livingston, provide
one-on-one math instruction and tutoring in either a group or private setting-for students in grades two through 12. Mathansium offers a variety of enrichment
opportunities for those students wanting to
explore mathematics and related fields
more deeply.
James Ralston added, "Through genuinely engaging and upbeat mathematics
competitions like the Mathnasium TriMathlon, we are striving to make productive academic competition in childhood just as fun
and rewarding as the plethora of athletic
sports kids already enjoy. The rewards of
strong number sense might not always be
as immediate as our TriMathlon gifts and
prizes, but the lifelong benefits from developing solid mathematical skills and understanding in childhood are immeasurably
greater."

Local Students...

signed encourage kids to engage in math
and to support local schools. Children at all
levels of math ability are invited to participate. In addition to winning medals, all students who participate this year will earn
money for local schools with a donation for
each student participating in the event. The
winner at each grade level will be entered
into the Grand Prize TriMathlon.
The TriMathlon consists of three events:
Magic Squares, where students are awarded
points for developing their own math problems; The Counting Game, which tests students ability to count from any number, to
any number, by any number; and Mental
Math Workout, which asks students to solve
problems without a pencil and paper in
order to show off their number sense.
After the students finished the TriMathalon, they were treated to a variety of mathematical magic tricks from one of the staff,
and enjoyed other fun games and puzzles,
including several mind-twisting Rubik's
Cubes. Friendly competition ensued as
some raced against the instructors to solve
Like us on facebook www.facebook.com/mypaperonline Tell Them You Saw It In The Chatham News, November 2015, Page 3
the Rubik'd Cubes as fast as they could.
At the conclusion of the event, over
$700 in prizes was awarded locally to the
top three scorers in each grade level.
Students did not need to be enrolled in a
Mathnasium center to participate. Prep materials, including a practice test, were available on the Mathnasium TriMathlon
website
(www.mathnasiumtri
mathlon.com).
Participants will have money donated to
local schools on behalf of their participation. Mathnasium is targeting an aggregate
donation of about $40,000 throughout the
U.S. and Canada.
The top scorers across all TriMathlon
competitions were invited to move on to the
Grand Prize TriMathlon, to be held at the
winners local Mathnasium center the following weekend.
All participants, regardless of how they
place on the test, were to receive fun goody
bags. Grand Prize winners receive a
Rubiks prize pack and Mathnasium scholarship.

Traditions behind holiday gifts
he holiday season is a time to celebrate with friends and family. Several holidays are celebrated in this
relatively short time period, making this
one of the most festive times of the year.
Many holiday celebrations focus on the
exchange of presents, which may be exchanged with relatives, friends and even
coworkers. But are you familiar with the
origins of exchanging gifts?
Gift exchanges trace their origins to
both religious and secular traditions, each
of which has helped shape the holidays
into what they are today.

Christmas
People exchange gifts on Christmas
Eve or Christmas Day all over the world.
For Christians, Christmas celebrates the
birth of Jesus Christ, who Christians believe was a gift from the Creator.
From a religious standpoint, gifting
others around Christmastime can be traced
back to the stories of the Three Kings (also
referred to as the Three Wise Men) who
visited Jesus after his birth. Frankincense,
a fragrance involved in worship; gold; and
myrrh, an incense associated with funerals, was presented. These gifts symbolized
worship in Christ, that He would be the
King of Kings, and that suffering and
death would come to Him.
Another giver of gifts is part of many
Christmas celebrations. St. Nicholas, a
fourth century saint, is a beloved figure
across the globe who has a reputation for
giving gifts in secret and helping the
needy. The figure of Santa Claus is
based on St. Nicholas, and the blending of
the two has evolved as history has mixed
with folklore and personal traditions.
Hanukkah
Hanukkah is an eight-day Jewish celebration that commemorates the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem. The word
hanukkah actually means dedication
in Hebrew.
The Jews, including Judah Maccabee,
helped drive the Syrians out of Jerusalem.
In one of Judaisms most central texts,
Maccabee and others witnessed a miracle
at the temple. Even though there was only
enough oil to keep a menorahs candles
burning for one day, the flames continued

for eight nights.
Traditionally, gelt, or money, was given
as a Hanukkah gift. Many Hanukkah gift
givers aim to give gifts that are thoughtful
and sweet. Money is not exchanged as
much today, with other gifts taking its
place.
Kwanzaa
Kwanzaa is an American holiday that
pays homage to traditions and cultural influences from Africa. The holiday was developed in 1966 by Maulana Ndabezitha
Karenga. The focus of Kwanzaa is on
family and the harvest as well as certain
principles, such as unity and faith.
Gifts make up one of the seven symbols of Kwanzaa celebrations. However,
gift-sharing is not the central part of this
special holiday. Gifts are symbolic of the
labor and love of parents and the commitments made and kept by their children.
Gifts are exchanged in abundance this
time of year. The traditions behind the giving of presents is far-reaching and based
in religious, secular and cultural traditions.
Did you know?
hat would Christmas gift-giving

be without a tree under which to
place the presents? Tree shoppers have plenty of variety to choose from
when selecting that ideal tree. Approximately 21,000 Christmas tree farms exist
in the United States, and these farms sell
between 30 and 35 million real trees each
year. Those who prefer artificial trees can
shop for everything from trees that appear
to be natural to pastel-hued boughs. The
first printed reference to a Christmas tree
was made in 1531 in Germany. Since
then, Christmas trees have grown in popularity through the centuries.
Preparing your home for new gifts
re you ready for the boxes and

packages that are set to arrive
under the tree? If your home annually bursts with everything from childrens
toys to electronics to clothing, it may be
time to take inventory and prepare for the
gifts that have yet to find their way into
your home.
Before the first strand of garland goes up
and before you begin thinking about holiday wish lists, set a plan in motion to reduce
what you already have in the house. This
project can include the entire family and tie
into holiday volunteerism that highlights
this season of giving.
Theres a very good chance that your
closets are brimming with items that are
collecting dust or havent seen the light of
day in some time. Make these the fist things
to go. If something hasnt been used in a
year or more, add it to the donation pile.
Kids rooms and play areas may be some
of the areas most overrun with belongings.
Children are likely to get many new toys
and other gifts throughout the year, so focus
most of your energy on these spaces, cutting kids some slack if they dont want to
part with certain items.
If children are reluctant to part with

some of their belongings, stress the point
that donating helps others who are less fortunate. Involve kids in the donation process,
letting them see where their unused clothes
and other supplies will go. This can make
giving away older toys less traumatic and
more personal.
Adults also should pay attention to any
belongings they can spare. Take advantage
of holiday donation trucks in the area to
clear your home of bulky sweaters, linens,
older furniture, or kitchen supplies. These
trucks service some well-known charities
and associations, and items will be appreciated and put to great use.
Use the weeks prior to the holiday rush
to create space for any gifts that might be
arriving under your tree before Christmas
Day. A little cleaning and decluttering can
go a long way toward helping the less fortunate in your community.

Two Dogs Looking For New Home As Owner Unable To Care
leventh Hour Rescue receives many pleas to help

dogs in need from all over the United States. Some
stories touch hearts deeply. This is one of those stories. It is also another example of how Eleventh Hour Rescue finds the beauty and love in pets that other shelters or
rescues ignore or choose to discard.
Meet Machin and Newman, a bonded pair of pups who
need an angel to step in and rescue them together now that
their Dad, Richard, is too sick to care for them. He has tried
but has been unable to find someone who would adopt
them locally in Florida, so Eleventh Hour Rescue of Rockaway is stepping in to take them into their care and find a
special place where they can continue to be together. It is
hard enough for them to lose their Dad, Eleventh Hour
does not want them to lose each other, too. They love each
other so much that they actually like being in a large crate
together.
Help keep them together so that their story has a happy
ending. Machin is a gorgeous female Black Lab mix, about
4 years old. She has a curled tail and a spotted front leg so
perhaps there is some Dalmatian or Pointer mixed in her.
She is extremely devoted to her person and really wants to
please. She knows the basics like sit, stay, and down. She
is both house and crate trained. She would make an excellent companion for a vet with PTSD or an active person because she is very attentive and loving. She takes corrections
immediately, too. She is a total love bug and likes to snuggle with people. She would love older kids shes a little
too energetic for younger ones and might knock them over
in her excitement. She should be the top dog in her new
home and not be placed with small dogs or cats shes a
little too interested in them. If someone is looking for a running companion, she would love that.
Newman is a senior hound eight to nine years old. He
doesn't act like a senior because he has plenty of energy but
can still be a very mellow dog. He enjoys the outdoors,
would love a fenced in yard for hanging out, but prefers the
comfort of a soft bed or couch. He gets excited for outings
in the car and loves dinner time. He has a well-rounded,
gentle and loving spirit and has been friendly with all visitors. He seems fine with small dogs but do not suggest a
home with cats. Newman does not demand a lot of attention
but he does love human and animal companionship. He
looks for Machin to cuddle with.
It is asking a lot for someone to take two large dogs into
their home, but Machin and Newman look to each other for

IMPLANT DENTISTRY
For over twenty years, implant dentistry has been a reliable option for patients
with missing teeth. With the ability to support a crown, an implant procedure
has the capacity to bypass drilling the adjacent teeth. Additionally, with the
recent availability of mini implants, implant dentistry has expanded its utilization to anchoring both full and partial dentures for a more secure fit. As they
provide an economic alternative, patients have been very receptive of mini
implants, as they make eating and speaking with dentures much easier.
Dr. Helen Chiu has always been involved in implant dentistry, making it an
integrated part of her everyday practice. From replacing a single tooth, inserting crowns or bridges, securing dentures, to creating multiple, full-arch reconstructions, she performs every step of each process, surgical and restorative.

lthough the United States is
regarded as the worlds
wealthiest nation, nearly 15
percent of all American households
struggle to put food on the table. Regionally speaking, no one is different
than anyone else and that means families in local communities are affected
by this national plight.
Food pantries are one way to help
combat the issue of hunger. Pantries
provide nutritious food to residents as
a supplement to their regular food
shopping. Food is donated by community members and organizations that
sponsor food drives to keep food
pantries stocked.
The Hackettstown-Mansfield PBA
#369 is sponsoring a fall food drive to
benefit the Trinity United Methodist
Church food pantry of Hackettstown.
According to Sgt. Darren Tynan,
spokesman for the benefit, The Trinitys Lord Food pantry feeds more than
The Meaning of Helping Thy Neighbor
1,200 families on any given month.

The need increases drastically during
the holidays.
Typically, recipients are allowed to
select what they want using a shopping
guide based on the number of people
in their household. Modern day food
pantries are often described as client
choice where clients select what they
want for themselves. This method allows the freedom of choice and eliminates waste. Some food pantries offer
a supplemental USDA programs to
families that qualify such as WIC,
Medicaid, Food Stamp Program and
Temporary Assistance to needy families.
Everyone needs a little help from
time to time. If in need of nutritional
assistance, the following are some regional food pantry/service opportunities.

sandwich bags, toilet paper, paper towels and personal hygiene items and toiletries. Additional holiday items include
gravy, cranberry sauce, stuffing, muffin mix and of course,
turkeys.
According to Grace Murry of the Interfaith Food Pantry,
in addition to offering food pantry assistance, many locations offer hot meals that are open to the public available
to anyone in need. Some food pantries offer satellite locations, are opened only certain days of the week or may only
be available to town or county residents. She recommends
calling ahead and notes that some food pantries require a
face to face interview so we can help better determine the
best, most appropriate or alternative or additional services
to aid families.
Why not start a new family tradition and spend some
time volunteering at a food pantry, soup kitchen or start a
food pantry drive? Get kids involved for a hands-on lesson
in giving back to the community. Remember, one in six
Americans, at some point, are impacted by hunger. Chances
are someone in every neighborhood, community or Church
will be impacted. The need is year round, volunteers are always sought and, every donation counts.

Pathstone Helps Elders Stay On Track With Training And Job Placement
By Jane Primerano
he Hackettstown Senior Center shares its space with
a senior service that benefits residents over age 55
throughout the area.
Pathstone is a program in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Vermont, Virginia and Puerto Rico that provides job training and employment services, specifically to
farmworkers and seniors, according to its website.
Did You Know?
aby Boomers make up the largest generation of

Americans born in United States history. Boomers
include anyone born between the years 1946 and
1964, as the number of births began to rise as World War
II veterans returned home from battle. The greatest number
of Baby Boomers were born in 1957, when numbers
peaked at 4,300,00. That equates to roughly 8 children born
per minute throughout the year. By 2019, the last of the
Baby Boomers, or those born in 1964, will be eligible for
many senior benefits offered to people age 55 and up. Ten
years later, most will be eligible for retirement.

The Hackettstown office specializes in training and job

placement for senior citizens, according to a press release.
They seek out people 55-years-old or older who meet certain income requirements depending on family size and
place them in job training programs with non-profit organizations. The goals are to assist these seniors in upgrading
their skills, getting them involved in the community and
providing extra income with the ultimate goal of placing
them in full-time jobs.
The Pathstone office itself is staffed with program
clients. Other organizations that take Pathstone clients are
NORWESCAP, the Hackettstown Free Public Library, the
Hackettstown Historical Society Museum and area
churches and nutrition sites.
Most of the jobs are clerical, Carmella Swayze of the
Hackettstown office said, but some of the nutrition center
jobs are in the kitchen. All are part-time with a maximum
of 15 hours each week, she said. Clients are paid $8.38 an
hour, the current New Jersey minimum wage.
Just as people on unemployment must prove they are
still seeking a job, clients of Pathstone must continue to
look for a job and fill out paperwork testifying to that every
pay period, which is every two weeks, Swayze said.
Although ideally clients get work sooner, the maximum
duration of the Pathstone program is four years, Swayze
said.

During those four years, Pathstone pays the wages of

the clients, but the employer provides the training, Swayze
said. The ideal situation would be for the host business to
hire the clients after the four years is up, she added.
The Hackettstown office is a satellite office to the main
one in Paterson, which has several employees, Swayze
said. The website also listed one in Vineland. Pathstone
shares the Hackettstown office with the towns office on
aging, with each using it certain days out of the week. The
office is in the towns senior citizens center off Main Street
behind the Hackettstown Community Center.
Part of Swayzes job is recruitment. She hangs flyers
with tear-off phone numbers in non-profits around the
county and in churches. She is working to get Pathstone on
Comcasts community bulletin board since most of the
county is served by that cable provider. She also tries to
spread the word by networking with seniors.
Another part of her job is to interview the seniors who
come in with interest in the program and find them the
proper job placement with one of the non-profits that participates in Pathstone.
Anyone interested in using Pathstone services or in providing employment can reach the Hackettstown office at
908-747-8494. The state office has an emergency hotline
number, 800-624-1432, and can be reached at AskNJTrainingEmployment@Pathstone.org.

More Strides Made To Raise Awareness And Funds For Rare Disease
By Cheryl Conway
ike the rainbow in the sky that morning, hundreds
of runners and walkers throughout the state
stretched across Central Park of Morris County in
Morris Plains to raise awareness and funds to support research of a rare disease.
On Sat., Oct. 31, families and supporters of those affected by Creutzfeldt - Jakob disease (CJD) participated
in The First Annual Strides for CJD 5k Run/Walk. Sponsored by the CJD Foundation in NY, the event allowed
families and friends to pay tribute to their loved ones and
raise awareness of CJD, a rare neurodegenerative disease
that has no treatment or cure.
For the one person in every million worldwide that has
been affected by CJD, strides have been made as effective
outreach whether through support groups, helpline, referrals, caregiving information, family workshops and medical education to those touched by CJD. The walk allowed
victims loved ones to gather and show their strength
through solidarity.
"The outpouring of emotion was overwhelming at the
Strides for CJD event," said Sandy Ghezzi of Morris
Township and CJD Advocate and volunteer. "Families
came from near and far with children, aunts, uncles,
friends and even the family pets to celebrate the lives of
their loved ones and show their support toward finding a
cure for CJD."
The vibrant rainbow that shined above participants
magnified the events purpose.
There was a rainbow at the event! And it didn't even
rain that day, so it was unexpected, says Ghezzi. One of
the attendees I spoke to at the family photo display/message board area was a man from Morris Plains. Peter lost
his beloved wife to CJD in the past six months. He pointed
out the rainbow to me and said those we lost were with us
that day; the rainbow was proof they were looking down
on us, smiling.
In its debut walk by the CJD Foundation, Strides for
CJD events were also held in 10 cities throughout the
United States such as Atlanta; Chicago; Cleveland; Colorado; Maryland; Minneapolis; Arizona and Southern California. With less government funding to support research
for rare diseases and the market condition, a greater effort
has been executed to promote awareness and additional
funding for research into CJD. Organizers hope to continue the walk annually.
"We were thrilled to see such a large turnout for the
first ever Strides for CJD event in New Jersey," said
Ghezzi. "What warmed my heart was to see the families
and friends who attended so eager to talk with each other
and donate to the cause. This is a strong community that
has bonded around CJD and is committed to supporting
each other and finding a cure."
According to a press release from the CJD Foundation,
CJD is caused by prions, proteins that can misfold in the
brain, with devastating effects, including rapid mental and
physical deterioration. CJD is the most common of the
prion diseases.
Families affected by prion diseases like CJD can
sometimes feel that theyre the only one, said Debbie
Yobs, CJD Foundation President. This event allows them
to connect with one another, and raise awareness in their

communities about the devastating impact of CJD and the
need for support, education, and research.
Proceeds will support the CJD Foundations General
Fund, which supports advocacy, medical education, family
support and research programs.
CJD advances at a brutally rapid pace, Yobs said.
Often the patient has appeared perfectly healthy just
weeks or months before the diagnosis. But CJD progresses so aggressively that the family scrambles to get a
diagnosis, while the disease rushes ahead. Thats why its
so important for us to educate medical professionals about
the disease and to raise awareness, provide family support,
and spur research.
Ghezzi, who lost her father in 1998 to CJD, says
Theres no treatment; theres no cure. When you get a diagnosis its 100 percent fatal. Theres nothing they can
give you; theres nothing they can take.
Ghezzis father Ed Mjos of Minneapolis, MN, died on
Aug. 25, 1998 at the age of 73, only four weeks after being
diagnosed with sporadic CJD.
He started developing symptoms, four months prior,
explains Ghezzi. His walking was not steady, his legs
would shake and he ended up going blind in the end.
Because CJD is in the brain, body functions get affected.
Her father died of malnutrition as he was unable to swallow.
It happened quickly, says Ghezzi. It was a rapid deterioration of bodily functions. It was frightening for us.
He was very active; he was a speed walker as a member
of the Twin City race Walkers Club where he lived. Bridge
player, joke teller, active Lions Club member, all around
good guy, and all of a sudden his eyes got big, he was
losing balance, starting using a cane, then he started
walking into walls, using a walker then a wheelchair.
Rapid dementia as well as short term memory set in.
Ghezzi recalls making appointments with doctors, but
they would say he was older; hes getting dementia or
Alzheimers. Ghezzi did not give up and instead brought
him to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.
They did 63 tests in one day, recalls Ghezzi. At that
time the Mayo Clinic doctors had seen only 25 previous
cases. It was only until they received her fathers brain tissue from his autopsy that doctors were able to diagnose
with absolute certainty that Mjos had sporadic CJD.
Diagnosis of CJD starts with clinical observation and
process of elimination of other diseases, according to information provided by the CJD Foundation. First, more
likely and treatable diseases are ruled out. When CJD is
suspected, the next step is for a qualified professional experienced with CJD to read an MRI and check cerebral
spinal fluid for protein indicators, to confirm the preliminary diagnosis. Post mortem, a brain autopsy is the only
way to positively confirm the CJD diagnosis.
Ghezzi says, Its frightening; its hard to know where
to go when a loved one becomes suddenly affected.
There are resources out there. If theres something that
doesnt seem right, seek medical professionals; try a different source.
To help provide support to other families affected by
CJD and spread information and awareness, Ghezzi has
Sandy Ghezzi with her father, Ed Mjos.
become a patient advocate.

Actively volunteering 17 years after her fathers death,
Ghezzi says she began going to the annual conferences in
2008, when she first learned about them.
I was humbled at the beginning by the lack of
progress in finding a cure, explains Ghezzi. It seemed
totally hopeless at the time to me. But as the years went
by, at the annual conferences, through the presentations
by scientists from around the world, there was a glimmer
of light, more and more understanding about the disease.
There was finally hope. Each year there was new information, progress. I am cautiously hopeful that one day we
will crack the code. And I feel inspired to help in any way
I can, as part of the CJD team. Because no one deserves
to be told they have a fatal disease and there is no treatment whatsoever, and nothing that can be done. There is
a solution, and we will be relentless -- together we will
find it.
As far as progress, there is still no cure or treatment,
but research is underway worldwide to learn more about
the disease mechanisms and to evaluate potential diagnostics and treatments. Research developments have been
made on a number of fronts. The CJD Foundation sponsors a research program that attracts researchers worldwide.
The CJD Foundation, which was established in Miami
in 1993, provides support for families affected by prion
disease. Moving its headquarters to NY in 2013, the nonprofit foundation provides a seven-day HelpLine, referrals
and caregiving information, family workshops, and support groups, as well as medical education and an annual
conference for families and scientists.
For more information, call 800 659-1991 or
http://www.cjdfoundation.org/. For those who missed the
Strides event, the event Friendraising page will remain
open after the event, to accept additional donations:

Morris County Honors Veterans Who Served

In Vietnam Through Library Display
n recognition of Veterans Day, on Nov.

11, Morris County Veterans Services, the
Morris County Library, and the Morris
County Dept. of Planning and Public Works
have set up a Veterans November presentation.
The month-long display will focus on the
Vietnam War. The Wall listing the names of
the 67 soldiers and sailors from Morris
County who are listed on the Vietnam War
Memorial in Washington, D.C. has been
recreated in the gallery of the Morris County
Library in Whippany.
In addition, other details of interest regarding the war and Morris Countys connection, are displayed.
The men and women who served their
country in Vietnam during a very difficult period in our countrys history, and who did not
always come home to a warm return welcome, and those who gave their lives in that
foreign encounter, deserve to be honored,
said Freeholder Director Kathy DeFillippo.
I ask county residents to take time to visit
this display, and remember the names of
those who did not return to their families and
their communities.
Charles Jurgensen, Morris County Veter-
ans Affairs officer, said The veterans department of the County of Morris is proud to be
associated with this terrific presentation,
which honors our veterans and their families.
We adhere to President Lincolns words after
the Civil War concerning those soldiers who
fought the battle: To care for him who shall
have borne the battle and for his widow, and
his orphan.
The Vietnam Wall: Within living memory.
Fifty years have passed since U.S. ground
troops arrived in Vietnam. Featured in this
commemoration at the Morris County Library are the names of 67 Morris County soldiers and sailors who lost their lives in
Vietnam, with their corresponding Line and
Panel numbers from The Wall memorial in
Washington, DC.
The story of a Vietnam War Dog is displayed.
Visitors may leave messages of appreciation to all Vietnam War veterans in the guest
book.
Additionally, Morris County Distinguished Service Medal applications are available.
The display will remain in the library
throughout November.
CIEE Welcomes International

Students, Looks For Host Families
IEE, Council on International Educational Exchange, is looking for host

families to open their hearts and
homes to welcome an international exchange
student into their community for the second
semester of the school year. Students will be
arriving in January. Students hail from all
over the globe and are eager to learn about
the United States, become a member of an
American family, community and school.
This program provides an opportunity for
host families to form lifelong relationships
and unforgettable memories. More than
1,400 CIEE high school students arrive in the
U.S. each year. Students live with host families, attend high school, and become true
members of their new families and communities.
Students participating in the exchange are
between 15 18 years of age, have studied
English for a minimum of three years, have
their own medical insurance and spending
money and have undergone a thorough personal screening and interview process. Many
of these students arrive in the U.S. with

dreams of participating in clubs, sports, arts,
music and other activities as most foreign
schools have none. They return to their native
land with improved English skills, a sense of
independence and self-confidence, more maturity and a better global understanding.
Most importantly they will have made
American relationships that will last forever.
The CIEE is a non-profit, non-governmental organization committed to helping
people gain understanding, acquire knowledge, and develop skills for living in a globally interdependent and culturally diverse
world. Founded in 1947, CIEE has become
a worldwide leader in international education
and exchanges. Visit www.ciee.org/highschool for more information.

Blood Drives Held

In November
ew Jersey Blood Services has

planned the following blood
drives:
Nov. 27: Knights of Columbus 3665, in
Netcong, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Nov. 27: Madison Area YMCA, Madison,
2 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Nov. 28: Presbyterian Church of Morris
Plains, Morris Plains 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
New Jersey Blood Services, a division
of New York Blood Center (NYBC) is asking for help to maintain an adequate supply
of all blood types, but especially O-negative
the universal blood which can be transfused into anyone in an emergency. In addition, hundreds of additional blood drives
need to be scheduled to meet projected hospital demand. Current inventory of several
blood types is running below the desired
target level.
Its simple: hospital patient demand for
blood often outpaces our best efforts to recruit donors and schedule blood drives,
said NYBC Executive Director of Donor
Recruitment Andrea Cefarelli. There are

always reasons but we have to overcome
that for the sake of hospital patients who
need us.
This is one of the toughest times of the
year, Cefarelli added. Were asking for
our dedicated supporters to roll up their
sleeves to make sure were able to provide
our hospital partners with whatever they
need to take care of their patients.
Blood products have a short shelf life
from five to 42 days, so constant replenishment is necessary. Each and every day
there are patients who depend on the transfusion of red blood cells, platelets and
plasma to stay alive. But blood and blood
products cant be manufactured. They can
only come from volunteer blood donors
who take an hour to attend a blood drive or
visit a donor center.
To donate blood or for information on
how to organize a blood drive call 1-800933-2566; visit: www.nybloodcenter.org.

Celebrating Our 33rd Year

Rainbow Travel is a Family Owned and Operated full service travel agency since 1982. It currently
operates as both a retail store front location and an internet provider for Leisure Vacations. Rainbow
Travel has consolidated its previous four retail locations into one location due to its now larger presence
on the internet.
Our internet business is handled with the same business philosophy as if our
clients came into our retail stores. Except now we use our travel expertise over the internet, phone, emails,
faxes and regular mail. Our basic business model has not changed over the last 33 years only that we are now
doing business on a national basis with the age of the internet. We currently service leisure vacationers from
all 50 United States, Canada and Mexico.
It has always been a priority at Rainbow Travel to have a well travelled staff. With Over 100 years of combined travel experience you
can be confident in our recommendations. Every website and brochure shows travel at its best but not every tour or resort is a perfect
fit for everyone. As travel professionals we can help find what is right for you and your travel expectations.
