Current eighth graders, and their predecessors, have a

lot to look forward to in their upcoming years at the

Mt. Olive High School.

About 250 at tended the MOHS Rising Freshman

Curriculum Fair Wednesday, Feb. 1, at the high school to

gain insight into what lies ahead for the incoming 380 fresh-

man as far as curriculum and the facility.

Ranked as the 90th best school in New Jersey-according

to the Aug. 2010 New Jersey Monthly MOHS has gotten

High Marks Across the Board at Mt. Olive High Schoolhigh marks recently for both academics and extra-curricular

activities.With new ranking results every two years, school

officials are anxiously awaiting the next report set for Aug.

2012.

As principal of MOHS for the past 9 years since being

hired in Jan. 2004, Kevin Stansberry is very proud of how

far his school has come and where it is headed. During the

last eight years, MOHS has gone up in its ranking.

MOHS was ranked 140 in 2004; 114 in 2006; 107 in

2008 as the best schools in NJ.

We are anxiously waiting, saysStansberry, who served

as Director of Athletics at MOHS for six years before

becoming principal. Every year weve made improve-

ments. We are excited. We believe we should make the top

75.

Stansberry says, I have seen an upward trend in aca-

demics and extra-curricular programs. From students to

staff, everyone has been responsible for the tremendous

growth and development. Theres something here for every-

one in MOHS. High school counts the day they set foot in

it, but they have to work for it. Its a journey of self discov-

ery.

Many variables are considered when ranking the schools

in the state. Stansberry credits MOHS high ranking for its

first rate state of the art facility; professional staff; chang-

ing attitude of students; improvement in studentclimate and

culture;improvement in SAT, APand HSPA test scores; andunique initiatives.

Regarding the changing attitude in students, Stansberry

says theyre here to achieve the best quality of education

that we can provide for both short term and long term

goals.

Stansberry says We are working with unique initia-

tives such as the removal of the letter D grade. A change

that was made throughout the dis trict since 2010, the

removal of theD gradeas impacted the performance of all

levels of learners, says Stansberry. Failures have declined

Kevin Stansberry

over the last three years.

The re-take policy, which allows students to re-take

failed tests, quizzes and homework assignments, has helped

with the decline in failed courses, but its also the under-

standing at the end of the day. It comes down to whether

students want to work hard anddo their very best everyday.

There are more As, Bs and Cs than ever before, says

Stansberry.

Every time a student receives less than a 70 percent, aparent or guardian is notified. Our parents are very

informed of their sons and daughters performance rather

than before when they were informed only when progress

reports and report cards were issued.

Stansberry has also seen improvement in test scores.

With HSPA (High School ProficiencyAssessment) given to

juniors in March in language arts and math, there has been

tremendous gains over the last three years with more stu-

dents earning advanced proficient scores and less receiving

At the time this arti-

cle was written, my

administration has

been working for the Town

for exactly one month. We

at Town Hall have beenvery busy working on new

projects and attempting to

complete old ones. You will

start to see and hear about

many of the projects which

we are working on as they

come to fruition.

At the outset, you should

make sure to review and

maintain the extr eme ly

important emergency con-

tact information which the

Town has provided on its

page in this newspaper.

That information contains

important contact informa-

tion and procedures which

may be needed in the event

of an emergency. Thisinformation is being com-

municated in advance of a

catast rophe so that when

communication becomes

difficult or impossible, you

will know where to obtain

information or helpfrom the

Town. The Senior Center at

Town Hall will function as

our OEM headquarters and

will be available as a warm-

ing center, for critical sup-plies and a location to

obtain further information.

You should alsobe aware

of the fact that you willnow

have the ability to alert the

Town to issues through the

Town website. Whetherit is

a pothole, stray animal, or

other concern, you will now

have the ability to report

those concerns and get feed-

back within a short period

of time. The program will

better help us respond to

resident concerns, report

back as to how those con-

cerns are going to be

addressed, andto keep track

of the resolution as well asthe cost in terms of man-

power and expenses to

resolve the issues. Visit our

web site

www.mountolivetownship.c

om .

We alsocontinue to work

hard on commercial ratable

opportunities in the

Township, from Route 46 to

206 to the Trade Zone. We

are hopeful to have some-thing major to report in the

very near future which will

go along way to controlling

taxes for a very long time.

We recognize that the taxes

in the Township is the num-

ber one issue affecting both

homeowners and businesses

and are working hard to

control same.

The Township is also

working to improve our

parks and sports facilit ies

through user based funded

From the Mayors Deskprojects. We are working

with the soccer, baseball,

football and lacrosse clubs

to better provide for thei r

needs, wi thout spendinggeneral tax dollars to

accomplish those improve-

ments. Those projects

include, but are not limited

to new fields and drainage

improvements.

Our plans for a 5K race

between the High School

and Turkey Brook, a bicycle

event at Turkey Brook for

our younger residents, the

return of Mt. Olive Week,including the carnival and

fireworks, and the return of

the Mount Olive Gala are

moving forward with signif-

icant corporate sponsorship

opportunities.

As always, we will

endeavor to guide Mount

Olive through the chal-

lenges facing us in theyears

ahead and will continue to

think outside the box tomaintain and expand our

municipal services and to

maintain the quality of life

in Mount Olive.

Sincerely,

Rob Greenbaum, Mayor

Mount Olive Township

By Cheryl Conway

M

t. Olive High

School may have

a new nominee

for its recently created Hall

of Fame Kimberly Volz of

Flanders has writ ten and

pub lished her f irst chi l-

drens book.

Volz, 25, - a 2004 MOHS

graduate - is the author of

Marvelous Maxwell Visits

the Vet- a childrens story

about her family dog. The

24-page hardcover book

was published Jan. 10,

2012, by Mascot Books, inHerndon, VA.

Bringing her dogs

adventures to life to share

with children has been

enjoyable to Volz and some-

thing she plans to continue.

The kids love hearing

about Maxwell; bringing

him to life for the kids is

something I wanted to do

and was able to do, says

Volz, whohas beenfilling inas a second grade teacher in

Jefferson Township for a

full-time teacher on mater-

nity leave.

Marvelous Maxwell

Visits the Vet is a fictional

story based on true events.

Maxwell is a 20-month old

yellow Labrador retriever

that Volz got from a breeder

in New York State when he

was only eight weeks old.Her story explains how

Maxwell tore up my dads

yard and ends up paying the

consequences for his

naughty behavior, explains

Volz. He gets a stom-

achache and has to see the

vet. He went under the deck

and ate weeds, tree branch-

es, dirt, twigs, bugs, flow-

ers.

Volzs book teaches alesson about breaking the

rules. If he just followed

the rules, he wouldnt have

gotten a tummy ache and

wouldnt have had to visit

the vet.

The new author plans to

writ e more s tori es about

Maxwell , and turning his

adventures into a new chil-

drens book series.

He is a very curious

Flanders Resident Published Her First Childrens Bookpuppy dog who does every-

thing and anythinghe possi-

ble can, says Volz,

F landers res ident for the

past 18 years.

Volz started writing her

book in July 2011 after

comingup with herideaand

contacting the publishing

company to query an inter-

est. Two months later, in

September, her book was

complete. For illustrations,

Volz turned to Maxwells

vet s daughter- Amanda

Minervini of Chest er, t o

draw the pictures for herbook. Maxwells vet is Dr.

Nicholas Minervini of

Flanders Veterinary Clinic

in Flanders.

I gave her the outline,

says Volz. She drew a few

pictures of the dog and

made the pictures come

alive.

Volz then forwarded the

illustrations to another col-

league, Erich Bumm of Long Valley, formerly of

Mt. Olive, to color the illus-

trations.

The oldest of three chil-

dren, Volz majored in soci-

ology from Rutgers

University, and also

received a degree in ele-

mentary education from the

College of Saint Elizabeth

in Morristown. While she

pursues a career in elemen-

tary school teaching, Volz is

the MOHS cheer leading

coach and a dance teacherat

Theat er Dance Cen ter in

Flanders, where her mother

is co-owner.

She admits that writing

books is something she also

wanted to do.

While looking for a job,

Volz says I wanted some-thing unique to do. Reading

is probably my favorite

hobby. This was a dream of

mine I was able to make

happenbeing able to tell a

story to children. Im sure

many chi ldren have dogs

and they can relate it. Its

been fun too because Ive

been able to raise

Maxwell.

For more informationabout Volzs book, go to

www.marvelousmaxwell.co

m. The hardcover book is

available online at Mascot

Books, Amazon Books and

Barnes & Noble for $14.95.

he book is geared for chil-

dren in elementary school.

There is also a new copy

at the Mt. Olive Public

Library that can be checked

out. Volz plans to give a

reading of her new book,

along with a craft, at the

MPOL on Thursday, Feb.

16, at 7 p.m. Go to

In North America, horses are largely companion animals and diligent workers. But

thanks to a quietly lifted ban on funding horse meat inspections, horse meat could

now be more readily available for consumption. In November 2011, U.S.

Congress lifted the ban, which was initiated in 2006, in a spending bill President

Barack Obama signed into law to keep the government afloat until mid-December.

Although there currently are no horse slaughter operations in the United States (the

last one closed in 2007), the lifted ban makes it possible for start-up operations to

begin, albeit amidst protests from animal activists. In a statement, the USDA said that

if a slaughterhouse were to open, the agency would conduct inspections to make sure

federal laws were being followed.

Mt Olive: The Mount Olive Jr.Marauders Football Association(MOJMFA) announced their plans

this week for the 2012 football season,beginning with registration. We had arecord enrollment in 2011, and we are

expecting an increase again in 2012! boast-ed Association President Pat Pompeo. Ourprogram has grown by approximately 15%during each of the past three seasons. Earlyregistration is the key to our strategic plan-ning so that we can maximize the number ofteams that get entered into the County leagueschedule.

The Jr. Marauders participate in theMorris County Youth Football League(MCYFL) which includes 22 teams fromMorris, Sussex, Essex, Warren, and SomersetCounties. We try to enter as many teams as

we can into the MCYFL, operating under theprinciple that we will enter as many teams asit takes to see that each child that registersgets ample playing opportunities, continuedPompeo.

We need to declare to the MCYFL bymid-June as to the number of teams that wewill enter into the league, so we need to haveregistration numbers set by June.

In an effort to encourage enrollment, theMOJMFA is offering discounted fees to allfamilies that register their children beforeMay 1, 2012. Current fees and other detailson registration can be found on the Jr.

Marauders web site atwww.mountolivejrmarauders.com.

For the first time, registration will close

on June 1, 2012 rather than allowing childrento register right up until practice begins onAugust 1, 2012. In addition to the early reg-istration discount, the MOJMFA is takingunprecedented steps to encourage registra-tion. According to Mike Arnone, Director of

Fundraising for the MOJMFA, We hadtremendous success with our Football Maniafundraiser in 2011. Our members enjoyedparticipating in that event as their purchasedgame cards lasted for 17 weeks throughoutthe entire 2011 NFL Season, long after theMCYFL season was over. (For details onFootball Mania, go towww.charitymania.com). In 2011, theMOJMFA handed out over $5,500 in cashprizes to their winning members, so the levelof activity and the number of tickets sold wasactually quite high. Arnone continued, In

2011, we actually ran out of tickets and hadto get more from the supplier, so we realizethat this fundraiser is a great success and onethat is highly anticipated entering the 2012season.

The Board of Director has decided tooffer free registration to any player and theirfamily that sells a minimum of 30 FootballMania tickets in 2012. Upon selling these30 tickets, a refund check for the full cost ofregistration will be sent back to the familythat sells the tickets, according to MOJMFATreasurer Rob DiJoseph. We are prepared tohave every registered child play for free in

2012, if they simply sell 30 tickets during thescheduled sales period (TBD) in the 2012football season.

Mt. Olive Jr. Marauders Announces Free Registration Opportunity for 2012 SeasonThe MOJMFA is made up of the Flag

(non-contact), in-house program for childrenin grades 1 and 2 and who are at least 6-years-old by the start of the season. Contactfootball begins for children at age 8 and inthe 3rd grade and that continues through age

13 and in the 8th grade. There are no limita-tions as to the number of teams that we canenter into the MCYFL for children betweenages 8-10. Children in Mt. Olive have theopportunity to play with other children of thesame age and grade, and we are fortunate thatwe can keep our players-per-team numbersto manageable levels by entering numerousteams added MOJMFA Vice president T.J.

Abato. Offering free registration is a greatway to encourage families to register theirchildren to play, and to register by June 1, sothat we can make the proper decisions as tothe number of teams that will be entered toplay.

For more information, go to the Jr.Marauder web site, www.mountolivejrmarauders.com.

Sandshore School in Budd Lake will be

holding its second annual science fair

this year on March 10, 2012. The

school had an overhwelming response to the

first fair held last June 2011 with over 70participants. It was a great accomplishment

to all that particpated. The children had to

plan a project, conduct an experiment, cre-

ate a display board, and give a presentation

about their project. Sandshore students

showed their scientific creativity with proj-

ects from booming bacteria to floating

boats, spoiled ice cream, best cleaning

toothpaste, volcanoes, fish, mammals, plant

growth and many more! Each child was pre-

sented with a free ticket to the LibertyScience center along with a custom printed

backpack filled with goodies donated from

local restaurants. The fair was open to chil-

dren who attend Sandshore School from

grades kindergarten through fifth grade.

Trophies and prizes were awarded to the top

Sandshore School to Hold 2nd Annual Science Fair

three projects in each grade grouping. Last

years winners were: K-2:Partners - Lisa

DeCristofaro and Eilidh McCumber, Maya

Jones & Collin Berg. Grades 3-4 Partners -

Kieran McCumber and Alexandra Robbins

Partners - Rachel Mandell and Alyssa

Ouimet & Sydney Mullin. Grade 5 Partners

- Britney Halbur and Jenna Mandell, JustinMickus & Dominic Ruocco. There were

two Kid's Choice awards that went out to

Christian Maier for his Line Tracking Robot

and David Boisvert for his singing glasses.

If you would like to make a prize or partic-

ipation donation to the science fair please

contact [email protected].

We are looking forward to March 10th!

Come out an support our students.

partial proficient.

Receiving advanced proficient in both language arts and

math were: 42 percent in 2009: 60.6 percent in 2010; and 73

percent in 2011.

Thats phenomenal, says Stansberry.More students are taking Advanced Placement Exams

than ever before, Stansberry also notes. In 2004, 85 AP

exams were administered compared to 312 AP exams

administered in 2011.

Grades and test scores are not the only areas of improve-

ment at MOHS. Extra-curricular activity results are fairing

just as high this school year.

The MOHS Marching Band recently won the State

Championship. In sports, there were four conference cham-

pionships in boys and girls cross country, girls soccer and

girls volleyball.

The Robotics Team won the state championship in thePumpkin Sling contest and third place in the national cham-

pionship. Now in its build season, the Robotics Team has

been selected to host 40 teams in March during a robotics

competition at the high school.

The choir has been singing at Carnegie Hall and the

Womens Ensemble recently sang with Neil Diamond dur-

ing the Christmas Tree Lighting at Rockefeller Center in

NY.

The National Art Honors Society Invitational in which

20 schools are invited to bring their best works of art was

scheduled to be held at MOHS on Tuesday, Feb. 7.

Adjudicated by college professionals, $350,000 in scholar-ship money combined was awarded to the winning schools.

Although some other high schools also have their own

television station, MOTV is one of the strongest programs

in the Tri-State area, says Stansberry. Students who get

involved in the high schools television program- which

broadcasts live from its own set- are so far ahead of otherstudents because of the experience theyve had at Mt. Olive

High School.

Recognized for so many outstanding accomplishments

lately, state officials could not ignore MOHS.

On Friday, Jan. 27, Chris Cerf- Acting Commissioner of

Education for the State of NJ- visited the MOHS and mid-

dle school to look at the outstanding programs and tour the

buildings.

Stansberry says that was the first time in our history

that a dignitary that high came to visit our high school. He

was here to see what we are doing and check our programs

out, to engage with the students and staff, look at our initia-tives and our results. We are very proud. He was excited to

be a visitor and spend some time in our district.

Proud of how far the high school has come, Stansberry

says there are more good things to come.

Weve enjoyed the successes that weve had, says

Stansberry, but we are going to look for best practices. You

are going to see us grow with the use of technology. We are

trying to infuse more technology. Stansberry mentioned a

number of devices that are available such as integrating

boards in the classrooms to enhance learning and make it

come alive to the students.

His goal is to take the quality of education to a newlevel. He mentions online tutoring programs such as

Compass on line learning tutorial, in which every family

will be able to log on to tutorials in math and language

courses that contain small video clips to review concepts

and to enrich or remediate their learning.

The tutorial has been used at MOHS as a pilot program,but each family will receive information in their childs sec-

ond marking period report-card mailing about accessing

and creating at- home accounts.

We will continually rewrite curriculum, revise existing

courses, frame out new courses and repertoire of curricu-

lum, he says.

Some improvement projects recently took place like the

new bleachers installed this past summer in the MOHS

gymnasium. Because of its fine facilities and willingness to

host, MOHS has been selected to host The NJSIAA District

I Wrestling Tournament later this month with eight schools

invited to compete.We are a perfect site for these events, he says because

MOHS is able to accommodate so many teams, fans and

families. The benefit to Mt. Olive is the extra monies gen-

erated from concessions, t-shirt sales and programs, he

says. Theres nothing better than competing in our own

facility.

Currently, 1,465 students are enrolled at MOHS enjoy-

ing the quality programs and upgraded facility, such as the

upgraded media center and other cosmetic improvements.

There is a three-year plan for more improvements such as

upgraded flooring on first and second levels; ceiling tiles;

and locker replacements to match newer parts of the build-ing.

Pink Hair Extensions Fundraiserat Alfonso's Salon A Huge Success

In North America, horses are largely companion animals and diligent workers. But

thanks to a quietly lifted ban on funding horse meat inspections, horse meat could

now be more readily available for consumption. In November 2011, U.S.

Congress lifted the ban, which was initiated in 2006, in a spending bill PresidentBarack Obama signed into law to keep the government afloat until mid-December.

Although there currently are no horse slaughter operations in the United States (the

last one closed in 2007), the lifted ban makes it possible for start-up operations to

begin, albeit amidst protests from animal activists. In a statement, the USDA said that

if a slaughterhouse were to open, the agency would conduct inspections to make sure

federal laws were being followed.

We are constantly reminded of the

importance of finishing strong,

whether it is playing all four

quarters of a football game or 16 games of

an entire season. It is no different with stu-

dents during an entire school year.

We are now into the second half of the

school year and thought I would share some

ideas to help your student Finish Strong!

These tips come directly from certified

teachers, tutors and educational business

owners serving your community and ulti-

mately your children.

Get into and maintain a routine

Post a clearly defined family schedule. It provides a sense of comfort, confidence

and independence for your student

Designate a homework area and place for

backpacks

Minimizes lost homework

Eases the morning routine

Establishes one set area without distrac-

tions or outside negative influences

Stock the home work area with age appro-

priate desk sets and materials

Prepare the evening before

Homework is placed in one designated

area in the students backpack

Clothes are laid out and ready for the

morning Lunches are ready or planned for the next

morning

Stay in contact with teachers

Communication is everything

E-mail is an easy way to stay in touch with

your students teacher regarding progress,

assignments and concerns

Utilize the schools online portal to track

progress.

Planners work especially well for students

with learning disabilities as they create an

atmosphere of repetition and review, whichis so important.

Finally, if your student is struggling with

a particular subject, regardless of what you

do, dont hesitate to reach out for help.

Whether it is a peer group study program, a

school sponsored tutoring program or an

independent tutoring company, the effort

and financial investment will pay off for

your student in the future. Be diligent, be

consistent and most of all be confident in

the choices you make.

Centenary College Wins National Architectural AwardFor The David And Carol Lackland Center

certainly made the goal of Centenary

becoming A Beacon for the Region one

that is now a reality.Criteria that were considered important

when choosing citation winners included

building sustainability/daylighting, security,

transparency, flexibility, adaptability and

community connection. Some other ele-

ments that the buildings needed to possess

included the efficient use of space and

incorporating a connection to nature and

encouraging a learning relationship

between the inside and outside.

The Collaborative Inc. architects for the

Colleges latest project, submitted theLackland Center to American School &

University for consideration.

by a lead gift from Centenary alumna Carol

Burgess Lackland, a member of the Class of

1954 and a Centenary College Presidents

Circle Member, and David A. Lackland, a

College Trustee. It is a 68,000-square-foot

n celebration of Valentines Day, during the month of

February Macculloch Hall Historical Museum will dis-

play a rarely seen image created by political cartoonistThomas Nast. The engraving titled St. Valentines-Day

can be seen hanging on the second floor of the museum.

The image was published on the cover of Hearth and Home:

For the Farm, Garden, And Fireside weekly periodical on

February 13, 1869. The weekly was brand new when

Nasts illustration was published; the first issue was printed

only seven weeks earlier on December 26, 1868.

The short-lived New York periodical ceased publication

with volume eight in 1875. During his career, Nast drew

images for over 65 different periodicals.

St. Valentines-Day shows a little girl sitting reading

her Valentines Day cards. Nast loved to use himself andhis family as models in many of his drawings, especially in

his holiday images. The little girl depicted in this drawing

is his oldest daughter, Julia Nast, whose name is written on

the envelope a little boy is handing to her. Julia was six

years old when Nast made this illustration.

Visitors can also see more of Nasts work in the second

floor Thomas Nast Gallery. More than fifteen examples of

original images from the second half of the nineteenth cen-

tury are on display in the exhibit, The Original Thomas

Nast. A generous loan of original artwork by a Nast descen-

dant has allowed the Museum to showcase a variety of

Nasts worksfrom an original oil painting to a copper

engraving plate. These rarely viewed paintings and draw-

ings represent a significant departure from Nasts morefamiliar work, and display an aspect of the artists talent

that has largely gone unrecognized.

ry of the Macculloch-Miller families, the Morris area com-

munity, and the legacy of its founder W. Parsons Todd

tudents at Chester M. Stephens

Elementary School danced the day

away, Friday, Jan. 27, during the

Sixth Annual Rock-N-Roll-A-Thon.Sponsored annually by the CMS-SCA, the

Rock-N-Roll-A-Thon fundraiser raised

more than $5,500 this year. All proceeds

are allocated back to CMS to be used for the

students and teachers in the classrooms.

Close to 700 students in grades kinder-

garten through fifth spent 30 minutes

throughout the day participating in dances

they learned during their physical education

classes such as the Electric Slide, Macarena,

Cotton Eye Joe and Thriller. To celebrate

the day even more, students came to schoolwith funky or funny hair for Crazy Hair

Day.

Members of the parent organization hold

the event every year because 100 percent of

the donations raised goes back to CMS and

students are directly involved in all aspects.

CMS-SCA president Maureen Tahmoosh

says, We use the money to purchase things

the school needs as well as cultural art pro-

grams. All of the money collected goes

directly to the SCA which in turn goes

directly back into the school.

Students have a direct involvement in

this fundraiser, continues Tahmoosh.

They feel proud being a part of helping the

school and they have a lot of fun doing it.

SCA members were pleased with theresults.

This year the Rock & Roll a thon did

meet the SCA's expectations, says

Tahmoosh. In fact they exceeded our

expectations. Due to the economy we were

expecting to make less than last year and we

actually made almost the same amount,

she says adding that the average amount of

money this fundraiser brings in is $6,000.

Last year there was about $6200, but in

this tough economy we'll take $5500,

agrees Mandy Thomas, event co-chairalong with Tara Mensonides. That is an

amazing number!

The Rock-In-Roll-A-Thon is one of nine

fundraisers sponsored by the SCA this year.

Money is also raised with the collection of

Box Tops for Education and Campbells

Soup labels, which are on going fundraisers.

We raise a lot of money from the Box

Tops, says Tahmoosh.

Monies raised from the Rock-N-Roll-A-

Thon will be used to purchase Elmo's for

the classrooms.

Sixth Annual Rock-N-Roll-A-Thon at CMS

This will put an Elmo in every class-

room in CMS-Regular and Special

Education class rooms, says Tahmoosh.

Other money will go to helping fund

teacher grants as well as other educational

items to help enhance the children's educa-

tions, adds Thomas.

This day really couldn't have happened

without the help of Mr. Sickles and Mrs.

Drach-Parker, the school's gym teachers,

says Thomas. They work so hard to teach

the student's the dances for about a month

before the event and they are up on that

stage all day dancing with the kids and get-

ting them excited.

The Physician learns

that disease must be

cured by prescribing

drugs or by surgery.

Although there is nothing

inherently wrong with this

approach. It often works.

But why does Chinese med-

icine succeed where con-

ventional Western medicine

sometimes fails? What is it

about Acupuncture andChinese herbal medicine

that can result in relief of

symptoms, helping couples

conceive when they were

told there is no hope, or

even a cure that is often

lacking in conventional

Western Medicine?

Although the ultimate

result of Chinese medicine

is to cure the patient, the

Practitioner of Chinese

medicine attempts to do this

by treating the whole per-

son, taking into account the

various attributes of an indi-

vidual that, when combined,

account for an individuals

health status. A person,

according to the tenets of

Chinese medicine, is more

than their condition. To

treat just the condition mayyield some results, but,

however impressive, these

results are usually tempo-

rary.

People are not, according

to Chinese Medicine, repre-

sented solely by their ill-

ness, but by the culmination

of every human interaction

engaged in from the

moment of their birth and

by the culture they are

exposed to. The emotional

experiences, eating habits,

work habits, work and liv-ing environment, personal

habits, and social network

all contribute to their dis-

ease, and are factors that,

when changed, may lead to

regained health.

The power and effective-

ness of Chinese medicine is

evidenced by its very long

history of over 3,000 years

of continued practice and

success. Did you know thatmore than of the worlds

population uses some form

of alternative medicine as

their health care treatment?

Chinese medicine however,

is the only form of alterna-

tive medicine that has been

regularly and continuously

used outside of its country

of origin.

The experienced Chinesemedical practitioner is

trained to observe ones

tone of voice, complexion,

eyes, facial expression,

overall demeanor, and how

one walks, sits and stands,

and to use these observa-

tions along with a detailed

health history to arrive at a

diagnosis. Before the

patient says one word, the

practitioner already has

some idea of who this per-

son is, clinically, simply by

observing them.A great Practitioner is

one who can process a mix

of medical knowledge with

a personal sensitivity based

on experience. The practi-

tioner of Chinese medicine

specializes not just in insert-

ing needles or prescribing

herbal remedies, but in

being able to see hidden

or subtle conditions that

may not been seen or under-stood by Western trained

Doctors. The ability to see

these subtle conditions

takes years of training and is

done without the benefit of

modern technology. How

many of you reading this

had or do have pain, or are

unable to conceive but all

your test results are nega-

tive? Many of these typesof patients are given anti-

depressants and are made to

feel that their pain is all in

their head.

The only diagnostic tools

used by Practitioners of

Chinese medicine are the

Four Examinations.

1. Observing,

2. Listening/Smelling,

3. Questioning, and

4 Palpating.

This method of diagnosis

dates back over 3,000 years.

Each of these examinationscan take years to master and

the intelligent and judicious

Practitioner uses them to

arrive at a differential diag-

nosis. With the advent of

technology-based diagnos-

tics, necessary and benefi-

cial as they are, there is a

definitive correlation

between advances in tech-

nology and a decline in doc-

tor sensitivity to the patient,and thus, misdiagnosis. The

ability to truly listen and

observe clearly, yields

amazing clues to the cause

of many diseases. This is

what Chinese Medicine is

all about. In addition to

attacking a factor that is

contributing to the disease

process, it is the responsibil-

ity of the ChinesePractitioner to support the

individual in his or her goal

of achieving overall total

health, which includes the

physical, psychological,

emotional and spiritual

aspects of the patient. This

multidimensional approach

is crucial to the process of

true healing.

The key to cure is to not

view curing the disease

itself without regard to side

effects from the treatment,

but rather to treat the root ofthe disease, the anxiety and

depression that causes the

insomnia, which facilitates

exhaustion, which lowers

the immune function, which

leads to chronic illnesses.

With one and six couples

today unable to conceive

and with all the technology

available, many couples are

still childless. Many of

these women are pumpedfull of hormones and even

steroids, baby aspirin and

birth control pills, yes, you

read right. You might be

asking yourself if one is try-

ing to have a baby, then why

put them on birth control

pills. Yet, Chinese medicine

helps these couples con-

ceive without the use of

these harmful drugs. Rather,the Chinese Practitioner uti-

lizes the Four Examinations

Do you eat enough fruits and vegeta-

bles every day? According to the

U.S. Department of Agriculture,

Americans should fill half their plate with

fruits and vegetables. Most people dont

come near that amount.

In fact, nearly 90 percent of Americans

fall short of the recommended daily serv-ings of vegetables and 80 percent fall short

of daily fruit servings. But its easier and

more delicious than you might think to

make food choices that can help your whole

family live a healthier lifestyle.

The ALDI MyPlate campaign brings the

USDA MyPlate icon together with ALDI,

the discount grocer, to encourage con-

sumers to fill half their plate with fruits and

vegetables.

The campaign shares some easy ways

you can put good-for-you produce on your

plate and save money at the same time.

Make your Dollar Count. Filling half

your familys plate with fruits and vegeta-

bles doesnt have to break the bank. Pick up

versatile veggies that can be prepared in dif-

ferent ways, such as potatoes, squash, broc-

coli and zucchini.

Protect your Produce. Place fruits andvegetables in the shopping cart where they

wont get bruised; bruising speeds spoilage.

At the check-out, make sure produce is

packed on top or in separate bags.

Think in the Can (or the Freezer). Did

you know that frozen or canned produce

(without added sugars or sauces) can be just

as nutritious as fresh? Round out your fruit

and veggie shopping with great-tasting,

convenient canned or frozen choices.

Put Produce on YourPlate for Less
