Emergency Squad Celebrates 80 Year Anniversary

By J. L. Shively
he Chatham Emergency Squad was
founded in 1936 and this year is
proud to celebrate its 80th anniversary.
Originally established as an arm of the
Fire Department, the Emergency Squad
welcomed their first ambulance, a Miller
LaSalle, into service in 1938, according to
the CES website.
Eighty years later, CES President
Richard Crater explains, the squad is excited to welcome a new ambulance to their
small fleet. Three ambulances are currently
used by the squad and the oldest of the three
will soon be retired with the acquisition of
the new ambulance.
Things evolved over the years, Crater
says, explaining that the Emergency Squad
was eventually recognized as an independent unit by 1951, allowing for more members to be recruited from the township and
borough which the CES still serves today.
Crater also cites other evolutions for the
squad, noting the move to a new building
in 1954 as well as the inclusion of female
squad members by the late 1950s. According to the CES website by 1974 women accounted for half of the squad membership.
Today, Crater notes that the CES remains to be a self-sufficient group, with a
very supportive community and staff.

Crater explains that the CES receives some

outside funding but is responsible for raising 95 percent of its expenses.
Crater states that the current expense
budget of the CES is $230,000 and
$200,000 of those funds are raised with the
hard work of squad members and the help
of a supportive community.
The Annual CES Fund Drive has been
active since the end of Jan. and, Crater says,
is a large source of ongoing community
funding for the squad. Letters asking for
donations where sent out to township and
borough residents at the start of the new
year and the squad will continue to accept
donations as they come in.
The third week in May is set as EMS
week and will also be a cause for great celebration. Plans for a specific celebration
for their outstanding anniversary are still
underway, Crater says.
Recently, in Feb., the CES held its Annual Dinner Dance where emergency squad
members joined in celebration with elected
officials, members of the police department
and other first aide squad members who
help to support them in responding to emergencies.
An exciting upcoming development for
the squad includes the purchase of two
more power cots, battery operated beds to
carry patients on. Crater explains that the

power cots enable us to handle patients

without members having to lift patients.
This allows for safer transport for the patient as well as safer lifting for the squad.
With one power cot in use already, the
squad plans to have the next two shortly.
Currently the CES is fully staffed by a
variety of dedicated members. Forty of the
members are considered to be active
members who are fully-certified and ride on
a regular shift. Approximately 15 members
are currently trainees who also maintain a

regular shift while they work toward their

certification to become active members.
Altogether, Crater states, the CES has
about 70 members, also including squad
members who are currently away at college
and will return in the summer.
We have a fairly good membership
roster, Crater says but also states, we are
always interested in speaking with people
who want to join.
The CES remains to be a community

Authors Visit CHS To Talk About Passaic River

uthor Mary Bruno recently spoke to

Chatham High School physical geography students about her book
An American River: From Paradise to Superfund, Afloat on New Jerseys Passaic
River. Brunos book details her experiences
kayaking the river and provides readers an
overview of the rivers rich and storied past,
as well as insight into how and why the end
of the river became the federal Superfund
site that it is today.
Bruno has a masters degree in aquatic

ecology, and she has spent years studying the

rivers history and its environmental problems. Bruno walked students through the
rivers geographical and historical paths by
narrating from her book and offering additional anecdotal and factual information.
Students were surprised to learn about the
stark difference between the upper/central
valley of the Passaic and the lower Passaic,
beyond the Pompton/Passaic confluence.
They were shocked to learn that Newark was
second in the world behind Vietnam with the

Artisan Show Blooms In April

he Jewelers Studio Guild Spring Artisan Show is set for Sat., April 30,
10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., at Ogden Memorial Presbyterian Church in Chatham
Township. Admission and parking are free.
The nonprofit Jewelers Studio Guild,
which was formed by and for local jewelry
artists, promotes excellence and originality
in handcrafted, American-made art. Hand-

made jewelry by guild members comes in

many types and styles: metalwork in sterling, bronze, copper and fine silver; flameworked glass beads; bead weaving and
mixed media.

amount of dioxin in the environment and that

areas along the river are home to wildlife not
found anywhere else in the state, like minks
and bobcats. Bruno offered students insights
into how best to help clean up the river and
prevent more pollution from occurring: stop
drinking bottled water and secure all garbage
so that it doesnt end up in storm drains.
Many CHS community members live on
or near the Passaic, and they had an interest
in learning about this natural beauty - and its
tragedy - that exists in their backyards.
The Chatham Education Foundation
(CEF) provided a grant to Missy Holzer,
who teaches physical geography, so that she
could purchase Brunos book for her stu-

dents to read.
Holzer said, Mary provided a personal
connection to the Passaic River which gave
the river meaning. It is no longer a river that
overflows during heavy storms or that polluted place in Newark, but instead, it is a
place with specially meaning to so many. In
order for people to connect with their environment, they need a personal connection.
Otherwise, the river is a river, trees are simply trees, etc. In these challenging times
when it is important to protect our resources
from human encroachment, that personal
connection to the environment will propel us
into being stewards of our natural environment.

he Chatham Teens Connecting with

Teens just finished its fifth fall season
at ECLC with 50 Chatham students
participating and planning weekly activity

the club held its annual winter basketball
event where 28 ECLC students came to
Chatham High School for pizza, a science

ECLC students made posters in advance
in anticipation of the game. When they arrived at the high school, CHS students surprised their ECLC visitors with a visit to the

The CHS faculty advisor to the CHS
club, Christine Cavallo, said, Teens Connecting With Teens is an important club for
both CHS and ECLC students because it allows them the opportunity to form special
and fulfilling bonds that otherwise they
would not be able to have. When I read re-

flections from CHS students that talk about

developing patience and confidence, becoming more open-minded and self-aware, learning to appreciate differences and realizing
the commonalities we all share as humans, I
undoubtedly know that the club's importance
and impact in the life of all those involved
extend far beyond their high school years.

DDC/MACA Sidewalk Gallery
is ready to take on its fourth

year.
Once again, sidewalks of Madison will

with community, the Sidewalk Gallery

makes it possible for people to find art, culture and creativity in non-traditional venues
providing everyone with opportunities for
surprise, delight, creative participation and
easy access to the arts.
The artists who participate in this project
will be creating two original paintings on
30 x 46 canvas banners that will be displayed on specially designed lampposts that
are installed throughout downtown Madison. Still being accepted are artists entries
with banners installed in early May and will
remain on view through mid October when
they will be available at auction. More details will be provided as the banners are
being installed.
The Madison Arts & Culture Alliance
(MACA), is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit coalition
of arts organizations, cultural institutions,
historic societies, colleagues and friends,

dedicated to encouraging collaborations

among the wide ranging cultural offerings
in Madison. Its ongoing mission is to help
strengthen the community through arts participation, recognizing that Madison is a
town with rich and diverse cultural activities.
The Downtown Development Commission (DDC) was initiated by Mayor Elizabeth Baumgartner and the Borough Council
in Oct. 1981, following a study by Projects
for Public Space, funded through a Dodge
Foundation Grant. The DDC is focused on
coordinating redevelopment activities in the
downtown district to foster a closer working relationship between all segments of the
Madison community.

Help Madison Rotary Foundation End Hunger In Communities

By Cheryl Conway
ake about 400 volunteers to package
more than 100,000 meals in six hours
and know that their efforts can decrease the number of individuals dying from
starvation and malnutrition every 3.6 seconds.
The Madison Rotary Club and Foundation plans to do just that on Sat., April 16,
when it kicks off its End Hunger 3.6 Project
of 2016. The club is seeking the communitys
support through donations and volunteers to
help assemble the mass production of precooked meals that day.
The St. Vincent Martyr Church in Madison has offered its gymnasium to be turned
into a miniature, manufacturing packaging
center, describes Ellsworth Havens, project
chair and president of the Madison Rotary
Club Foundation, inviting all those willing to
help from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The Madison Rotary has been reaching out to other
local rotaries, churches, colleges and community organizations for their support.
The End Hunger 3.6 Project stands for the
3.6 seconds in which someone dies of malnutrition or starvation. The goal of the project is to prepare and package between
100,000 150,000 meals to be distributed to
various non-profit, hunger-focused organizations throughout New Jersey and New York
City.
Havens and several others came up with
the project idea this past summer. With every-

thing going on in the metropolitan area with

concern over homelessness, poverty and
children being very hungry, rotary members wanted to address those areas, explains
Havens, a Madison Rotary member since
2007.
The number of people who go hungry and
who are in need of assistance in finding a
meal in the New Jersey and New York City
area continues to rise, the rotary shared in a
recent press release. In NJ alone, the number
of people living below the poverty level is
more than one million. One in five children
in NJ is hungry and relying on food stamps
to provide daily meals. Havens said studies
reveal that 800,000 children in NJ are living
below the poverty level and have some level
of hunger, and there are more in NYC.
While efforts have been made, more
needs to be done to help the hungry.
The Madison Rotary has been involved in
its Faces of Hunger campaign since 2009, but
decided more needed to be done.
Our club has been active in raising
money and supporting food and hunger campaigns internationally and locally for many
years, says Havens. We began aggressively
raising funds for domestic food pantries in
2009, even placing jars in various locations
around town to collect money.
Representatives from the Madison Rotary
met with service agencies and food kitchens
throughout NJ and NY to learn what their issues and concerns are, explains Havens.

Madison Rotarians hold samples of packaged meals, front row from left, Jeannie Tsukamoto, president-elect; Ellsworth Havens, project chair End Hunger 3.6; and Carmela Moeller. Back row from
left, Rocco Iosso; Ray Freaney, rotary president; and Joe Smith.

They are doing a phenomenal job overall, but demand keeps growing past the supply, he says. The numbers keep on
growing in terms of poverty or more people
needing food stamps.
We need to assist and support these agencies, says Havens. We support, we raise
funds but we are rotary; we dont provide di-

rect service.
The Madison Rotary has helped to disperse package meals for lunch and dinner to
people on NYC streets.
Theres nothing like going on these runs,
seeing the faces of a child that you are providing a meal for, says Havens. When a litcontinued on page 8

Help Madison Rotary...

continued from page 6

tle kid looks you in the eye, it really speaks to the issue. I was
one of those children as a kid. It is real.
Havens says, Anyone who is hungry deserves to be fed.
Feeding children is one of the things Im a strong supporter
of. While education is important, greater is the concern as
to whether they will have a meal the next day. It is survival
from day to day that will keep society thriving, he says.
For the End Hunger Project, the Madison Rotary is partnering with third party organizations by giving them bulk
food.
We spent a good part of the year organizing it, says
Havens, meeting with agencies willing to receive assistance;
identifying non-profits; recruiting volunteers; and fundraising
for the past nine months to purchase the food and supplies for
distribution.
Currently seven agencies have been identified as recipients
of the packaged meals such as the New Jersey Salvation
Army; The Table of Hope and the Market Street Mission in
Morristown; Evas Village in Paterson; St. Johns Soup
Kitchen in Newark; and the Bowery Mission in New York
City. Combined they represent more than forty sites, in NJ
and NYC, that will feed and provide food to the hungry.
The project needs financial support. The cost per meal is
only 25 cents. Every dollar donated will provide four meals.
The Madison Rotary Foundation is seeking support from in-

dividuals, corporations, foundations and other Rotary Clubs.

The more money raised, the more meals can be provided.
Volunteers are needed as well to help package the food.
Scales, equipment and bulk food will be brought in to the
church. Two types of uncooked meals will include a rice and
beans meals; and a macaroni and cheese meal. Each meal
will be complete, equaling one pound, and will include
enough to provide six meals per bag.
Each station will package the items into pre-weighted
bags; bags will then be packaged and medically sealed with
a shelf-life for up to one year; and will then be distributed to
participating agencies on site that day. Agencies will then take
the meals and will be able to prepare and cook them in their
facilities to feed those individuals they serve.
Havens says they went with rice and beans, and macaroni
and cheese, as they are popular meals used on a regular basis;
they are easily packaged complete meals, easily stored and
distributed; and are a great source of carbohydrates.
They are wholesome, its vegetarian, all complete meals
that are nutritious.
Havens expects the project will be good organized craziness for one day with a lot of people doing a lot of good
stuff. Everyone is pretty excited about it.
The Madison Rotary Foundation is a 501(c)3 organization.
More volunteers, labor and fundraising is needed to make the
project a success. So far, $5,000 has been raised with a goal
of $25,000 in order to provide 100,000 meals.

The more we raise, the more food we could purchase, the

more food we could serve, says Havens, who hopes the project turns into an annual event.
The Madison Rotary is reaching out to other rotaries, hoping to have 15 to 20 partners with them as volunteers in this
project.
We are talking to all groups, companies and organizations, says Havens. Unfortunately theres not a community
in which hunger is not an issue today. This is a local thing;
this is a major issue.
Havens is hoping that children through adults come out to
volunteer that day, with a minimum of 400 people needed.
He said he is hoping its a community event, to not only provide immediate food, but to raise the issue throughout all of
our communities.
While work will need to get done, Havens hopes to provide entertainment with music or a band.
You can do a good thing and have an enjoyable time at
the same time, he said, so that it is meaningful and fun,
which is the way it should be.
Tax-deductible contributions may be sent to Madison Rotary Club Foundation, P.O. Box 211, Madison, NJ 07940,
or visit www.madisonrotarynj.org.
For further information on this project or to volunteer, contact Havens at ellsworthhavens@icloud.com.

Handbags For Charity Carry Mission To Help Children And End Violence

By Cheryl Conway
andbags from Lucys Gift in Morristown carry much more weight
than a wallet, checkbook, lipstick
and other miscellaneous items.
With every purchase, customers carry on
their shoulders an effort to help children
with special needs and end violence. The
pain of losing her husband five years ago
lingers for owner Marisa Spagnoletti of
Morristown, but six months ago she found
a way to channel her loss by opening a nonprofit boutique to raise money for various
charities such at the P.G. Chambers School
in Cedar Knolls.
Spagnoletti opened Lucys Gift boutique
in Morristown in Oct. 2015 and donates
100 percent of the proceeds to honor her
late husband Maurice Spagnoletti, a prominent New Jersey banker tragically killed in
June 2011, while working in San Juan,
Puerto Rico.
As the founder of Lucys Gift, as well as
the Maurice J. Spagnoletti Foundation
(MJSF), the former Florham Park widow
has made it her mission to help children in

Roofing

need, victims of crime and honor those who

serve and protect others.
Named after their 10-year old daughter,
Lucy, Spagnoletti says Lucys Gift is our
gift back to the world. Its just what I
wanted to do. It has grown beyond my
dreams. I dont have a website or a Facebook page. I have emails from people all
over the country, and plans to open a second boutique in a major retail strip mall.
With a background in sales marketingbrand management, Spagnoletti had
worked as a marketing director for Crowe
Horwath accounting firm in New York for
13 years, but when her husband was killed,
her world changed.
Her business started haphazardly because of her husbands death. It began from
helping a small charity and blossomed into
a non-profit business.
Maurice had been good friends with
their daughters doctor, John Connor. It was
through that friendship that Maurice came
to support the Children of China Pediatric
Foundation (CCPF), a charity Dr. Connor
supports by performing free surgeries for

orphans.
When my husband was murdered my
daughter was very sick, explains Spagnoletti. The day after he was buried, we met
Dr. Connor in Morristown to take care of
Lucy who has been faced with health issues.

Handbags For Charity...

continued from previous page

those who sent donations after her tragic loss, Spagnoletti
directed donations be sent to the CCPF in her husbands
memory.
As donations increased, CCPF opened a rehabilitation
training program for chronically disabled and post-surgical
orphans in his honor the Maurice Journey of love support
and hope J. Spagnoletti Rehabilitation Program. After three
years, when she got back on her feet, Spagnoletti supported
these efforts by holding small handbag auctions.
In 2012, I started doing handbag events; women in
large numbers started buying handbags, she says. By
2014, this grew to a sold out crowd. This led to an annual
event in June, raising tens of thousands of dollars for charity.
After setting enough money aside, Spagnoletti decided
to open Lucys Gift to sell handbags on a regular basis for
charity.
My idea for selling handbags for charity has exploded,
says Spagnoletti. I put the seed money in for the boutique, in hopes to get money back to cover her salary and
health insurance. After that, all proceeds will go toward
helping others.
I dont have wealth, explains Spagnoletti. I created
a business where all the net profits will go to the foundation, which go to our charities.
Inside her boutique, Spagnoletti decorated using pink,

blue and purple hues. She explains the pink represents children in need; blue for the victims of crime; and purple for
the purple heart.
Through her foundation, MJSF has expanded its charity
to children with special needs at P.G. Chambers School in
Cedar Knolls to support children in need; is helping victims
of crime by supporting domestic violence and sexual assault safe houses such as SAFE in Hunterdon; and aid charities that support the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
whose agents and families inspire Marisa with their
heroic efforts to protect us domestically, as explained in
the MJSF mission statement.
When you buy something, you want to know where
your money is going, she explains.
Spagnoletti selected P.G. Chambers as a charity recipient after meeting one of the mothers who sends both of her
kids who are in wheelchairs to the school, which provides
the most comprehensive education and therapy programs
for children with disabilities.
We met by chance, says Spagnoletti about Annabella
Rossi, the mother of the two students at P.G. Chambers.
At that moment she was having a bad day; I was having a
bad day.
Out of the 35 volunteers at MJSF, Rossi became her
eighth volunteer.
She started coming to my house; we became friends.
Spagnoletti honored Rossi in 2013 when she presented her

with the Maurice Spagnoletti Foundation Caregiver Award.

Annabella is a role model to me.
Every year, Spagnoletti presents the caregiver award to
an individual, a teacher, mother or nurse. In June 2015, she
gave the award to a woman named Tiffany who created a
park for disabled children near the Jets Training Facility.
Tiffanys daughter also attends the P.G. Chambers School.
Lucys Gift specializes in mostly handbags, and jewelry.
Featured are 200 handbags on display varying in color,
price and function, from popular name brands like Gucci,
authentic lines, fake leather to unheard labels. Prices of
bags range from $50 to $2,000.
Handbags are my life, she says. The sky is the limit
for us; we even carry mens wallets, and bags for men.
Within two months, we were able to triple our inventory.
Customers can also find unique costume jewelry pieces
and accesories, ranging from $18 to $350, as well as distinct unique items such as a wine tote, her number one
seller found in a Texas boutique.
I travel the country and find really neat boutiques,
she says, bringing back those rare items, such as a little mirror that attaches to an Iphone, to resell.
When you come to my boutique, everything is sacred,
says Spagnoletti. Our dream is to bring luxury to all
women. I grew up lower income; I didnt have money to
spend. I always dreamed Id be able to provide fashion to

everyone.
Instead of a bow or ribbon, every bag or
purchase is adorned with a barrette.
To her surprise, Spagnolettis mission is
taking off. Concert-singer Naomi Miller,
who was singing in Italian on the streets in
Morristown, attended her grand opening;
Spagnoletti has been getting emails of support from around the country; and she recently appeared on the NBC Today Show
with Al Roker.
After five years, Im finding peace. My
husband was brutally assassinated. Honoring him was my life mission. The FBI is
still investigating the case, she adds.
A prominent banker for Doral Financial,
Maurice was shot and killed at the age of
57 by unknown assailants, June 15, 2011,
while sitting in his car in traffic on the highway. Employed with the company for just
one year, he had been assigned to work in
Puerto Rico in Jan. 2011, says Spagnoletti.
Justice is coming I believe that. The
people who killed my husband will be
brought to justice. We seek justice for all.

Hope is something we have and something

we have to work for. Hope with positive action prevails. The men and women Ive
come to know are beyond extraordinary;
they are the real heroes.
Part of Spagnolettis mission is to put an
end to violence.
My husband was everything to me,
says Spagnoletti. You dont heal from violence. It is prevention, awareness and
treatment that will lead to end violence. In
my very small way Im going to make an
impact. Its my mission to end violence and
I will. I want my husbands memory honored. Nothing brings my husband back; my
daughter needed her father.
She says, My husband died a hero. To
honor him, MJSF plans to award a $1,500
Future Hero scholarship to a junior college
student in need from Morris County who
aspires a career in preventing or stopping
violence. Eric Mohberg, whose fianc was
brutally murdered 26 years ago, joined her
MJSF board and is helping her create the
scholarship.

class there and I go and visit her. Nothing

frightens this little girl who has all these issues. I would sell my life for her.
Spagnoletti has come up with a program
in which companies pay people to volunteer.
Corporations can give not to the foundation, but to the P.G. Chambers School.
For that donation, we will train that staff.
Lets get people to commit to volunteer
work.
As a way to market and add new revenue source for her boutique, Spagnoletti
recently started Lucys Gift Treasure Chest,
in which she provides non-profits, fair
priced tricky tray or auction items. Her idea
came about after she gave a handbag to a
church who asked her for a tricky tray donation.
Lucys Gift is open Tues. and Wed., 11

held in June at the Hanover Manor in East

Hanover, $30,000 was raised for the charities. Participants paid $75 for all you can
eat, dancing, raffles, silent auction of
handbags and other items, and presentations by charity organizations.
Through her mission, Spagnoletti has
rechanneled her anger to provide a healthy
environment for her daughter. She explains,
I can only focus on positive so she can
grow up and be positive.
Its amazing what could be done for the
memory of one hero. Through all of this
Im really finding peace. I was so low and
so sad, but now Im back. If Im working
24 hours a day, its not work, its what I love
to do. I know I never let him down. I feel
my husband smiling when I can do things
like this. I do my little part in helping them;
every year I feel like Im doing more.
On her boutique wall hangs a framed
poem titled Life Does Not Frighten Me At
All. A girl that Spagnoletti met one year
ago at P.G. Chambers School read her that
poem. Honestly they teach me more, she
says. Since then, Spagnoletti has adopted a

United Way Offers Five Tips For Tax Season

ith tax season underway, United

Way of Northern New Jersey is
providing five key tips to help
area residents avoid common filing errors
and scams. United Way, in conjunction with
local partners and the IRS, offers a free tax
preparation program for ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) and
poverty-level residents in Morris, Somerset,
Suburban Essex, Sussex and Warren counties.
We see many first-time clients who have
missed out on tax savings in previous years,
said United Way Manager Monica Conover.
These are simple, but costly mistakes that
are easily avoided once you know the facts.
For ways any household can save during
this tax season, consider the following tips
when meeting with a tax preparer.
1. Claiming medical expenses can result
in a tax break. Didnt save any paperwork?
Check with pharmacy, some will print out
statements listing yearly expenses.
2. Claiming a college-age child as a dependent might also result in a tax credit.

3. If a working high school or college student, file a return to possibly get a refund; but
parents should still claim child s a dependent
to take advantage of tax breaks.
4. Claim a relative if providing financial
support that covers more than 50 percent of
living expenses. For example, an out-of-state
parent financially being supported could
qualify.
5. Know how to spot scams. The IRS will
not initiate contact with taxpayers via phone,
text, email or social media. If taxes are owed,
the IRS will mail an official bill.
Area families living paycheck to paycheck can also access United Ways free tax
preparation program to avoid the high cost of
preparation fees. Residents can learn about
critical tax credits that can help boost returns.
The quality program provides returns prepared by IRS-certified volunteers, completed
state and federal returns; United Ways 100
percent free; refunds typically received
within two weeks
Each year, United Way partners with the
IRS, NORWESCAP, Greater Providence

Missionary Baptist Church and volunteers to

prepare and file free tax returns for financially-strapped families. Last year, United
Way volunteers filed 5,150 free tax returns
across the region. This free service saved
ALICE an estimated $1 million in tax prepa-

ration fees and helped put $5.6 million in refunds back into their wallets and the community.

free, quality tax preparation program, visit:
www.UnitedWayNNJ.org/FreeTaxPrep.

Did You Know?

ccording to the American Lung Association, pet dander is composed

of tiny flecks of skin shed by cats,
dogs, rodents, birds and other animals with
fur or feathers. While pet dander is so small
its sometimes microscopic, it can still
cause reactions in people who are allergic
to pet dander. But skin is not the only potential allergen associated with pets. Pets
may cause allergic reactions in some people
thanks to various proteins found in the
saliva, urine and feces from cats, dogs and
other pets. Dried saliva containing allergens
may flake off from animal fur and enter the
air, where it can be inhaled by people and
trigger an allergic reaction. That might be

one reason why, according to the ALA,

nearly twice as many people report allergies
to cats compared to dogs. Cats often clean
themselves by licking their own fur. Any
dried saliva left on cats after these cleaning
sessions may contain allergens that eventually flake off of that fur before entering the
air and being inhaled by people who are allergic. While it might seem odd that a tiny
cat can trigger a reaction that causes such
significant discomfort, the amount of allergens necessary to trigger allergic reactions
varies greatly from individual to individual,
with some being capable of handling small
amounts and others experiencing reactions
almost instantly upon inhalation.
