Local Business Man Helps Thousands In


Mission To Build Health Clinic

By Cheryl Conway
hree years ago Dr. Michael Kambourakis, founder
and president of the Dominican Republic Relief
Organiz-ation (DRRO) and owner of Terzako Furs in
Caldwell, dreamed of building a health clinic to help impoverished Dominicans and Haitians living in the Dominican
Republic.
With the clinic 80 percent completed, Kambourakis is
reaching out to others to make that dream a reality. The
DRRO Dinner Dance is set for Thurs., Nov. 12, 6:30 p.m. to
11 p.m., at The Grove in Cedar Grove, to honor two international humanitarians and raise the remaining dollars to complete the clinic.
Come to the dinner dance fundraiser, says
Kambourakis, to help us out. This is the best cause; its
from heart to heart. We are going to deliver American health
on a day to day basis to people down there.
The theme of the dinner dance event is "Daring to
Dream" based on how Kambourakis, and his two honorees international humanitarians Dr. Ernani Sadural and Dr.
Karien Ziegler, all began their humanitarian work with a
dream, a dream to make a difference by saving lives. Dinner,
dancing and a silent auction will be held.
Sadural serves as the director of Global Health at Saint
Barnabas Healthcare; and Ziegler is chair of Rotary
International Polio Plus Eradication.
A third-generation business owner of Terzako Furs in
Caldwell for the past 40 years, Kombourakis always had a
passion for fashion, and also studied to be a psychologist.
But it was about 12 years ago, since 2004, when he began
missionary work in Santo Domingo and Haiti, building
schools, refurbishing toilets and providing clean water in his
humanitarian efforts to improve the lives of thousands for

Impoverished Dominicans and refugee Haitians.


While he enjoys his fur business, Kombourakis says he
had to return to his roots of helping people when it comes to
health. He was reminded of this when his workers who were
from the Dominican Republic invited him and his wife to
visit their homeland. The visit opened Kombourakis eyes
toward the need in that region.
I was really shocked, says Kombourakis. I never saw
such poverty; I never saw such misery.
At that time, Kombourakis says I had 3,000 customers;
thought I could help. So he started by sending a box of
needed items; that turned into boxes with stores donating.
His donations then went to Haiti and his involvement grew
as he started to help in other ways like a water project to help

More Than Just Bagels

Local Walk/Run Raises Thousands For


Ovarian Cancer Research

early 1,000 local residents and participants from the tri-state area met
at West Orange Town Hall on Sun.,
Sept. 27, to fundraise for ovarian cancer
research.
The Mayors 5K walk/run to break the
silence on ovarian cancer, sponsored by the
National Ovarian Cancer Coalition (NOCC)
and Downtown West Orange, helped raise
more than $100,000 for combatting the disease. Proceeds from the event will benefit

the Northern New Jersey Chapter of the


Ovarian Cancer Coalition and the Maureen
Fund in honor of Maureen Roehnelt, a former assistant to Gov. Richard J. Codey, who
passed away from ovarian cancer in 2006.
Ovarian cancer develops when cells in
the ovaries begin to multiply out of control
and form tumors. It is the fifth-leading cancer-related cause of death for women ages
35-74. For more information, visit walkforovariancancer.com.

ke's Bagel Cafe is the newest location


for Jordan and Steve Vaccaari. The
Livingston store is located in the
Shoppes at the Livingston Circle, and is

more than just bagels. Jordan, the third


generation in the food business, appreciates the great response to the new
Livingston location.

Treating pain associated with cancer

ain is not always a side effect of


cancer, but many people do experience pain while battling this potentially deadly disease. People who have

been diagnosed with cancer should know


that they dont have to accept pain as a normal part of their disease, and there are plenty of options at their disposal to alleviate
their pain.
According to the American Cancer
Society, all pain can be treated, and most of
it can be controlled or relieved. How physicians treat pain will depend on the type of
pain and its cause, but the following are
some options doctors may discuss with their
patients who are experiencing pain.
Medication: The type of medication doctors prescribe will depend on a host of factors, including the level of pain their patients
are dealing with. Non-opioids like acetaminophen, aspiring or ibuprofen may be used to
treat mild to moderate pain, though patients
who are having surgery or receiving
chemotherapy may need to steer clear of
non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs
(NSAIDs) like aspirin and ibuprofen

because they can slow blood clotting.


Opioids, which include oxycodone and morphine, may be prescribed for moderate to
severe pain. Pain caused by swelling or
pressure may be treated by prescription
steroids, such as prednisone and dexamethasone.
Surgery: The ACS notes that surgery may
be an option to reduce pain associated with
cancer. Nerve pathways carry pain impulses
to the brain, but when these impulses are
interrupted, they never make it to the brain
and the feelings of pain and pressure cannot
be felt. To block these pathways, neurosurgeons may cut nerves, but such surgery is
irreversible, so cancer patients should expect
their physicians and surgeons to explore
other avenues before recommending surgery.
Epidural: An epidural is a method of pain
relief in which medicine is injected into the
space around the layers of the spine. Doctors

may implant a pump so they can get pain


medicines right around the nerves, and the
treated area may experience numbness or
weakness as a result.
Nerve block: Another way to treat pain
associated with cancer is via a nerve block,
a procedure in which a local anesthetic is
injected into or around a nerve. If doctors do
not choose that option, the anesthetic, which
is often combined with a steroid, may be
injected into the space around the spinal
cord to block pain. While the injection
makes it impossible for the nerve to relay
pain to the brain, the nerve block may cause
muscle paralysis or a loss of all feeling in
the affected area.
Managing pain associated with cancer
can be difficult, but patients dealing with
such pain can discuss the many pain treatment options at their disposal with their
physicians.

How to find the right oncologist for you

he day a person is diagnosed with


cancer is a life-altering moment.
Many people rely on support networks made up of family and friends to

help them during their cancer treatments,


and such support networks can extend to
patients choice of oncologists as well.
Oncology is a branch of medicine
involved in the diagnosis and treatment of
tumors. The term oncology is derived
from the Greek word onco, meaning bulk
or mass. Upon diagnosing patients with cancer, oncologists explain the type of cancer
patients have and explain the various treatment options available to patients.
Oncologists also are on call to answer any
questions and are often the first people
patients turn to when they have questions
about their disease.
Taking an active role in their cancer treatment can help patients feel more in control
of their situations, and patients choice of
oncologist is one of the first big decisions
they must make.
Start with a referral. Begin by speaking
with your primary care physician. He or she

may have a list of recommended oncologists


or ones affiliated with nearby hospitals.
If a loved one has battled cancer
in the past, ask him or her for
a recommendation.
Do your research. The goal is to find an
oncologist who specializes in your form of
cancer and has a good treatment success
rate. Do not be afraid to ask about success
statistics and ask for prior patients names so
you can get their opinions on the care they
received. Look up the doctors credentials as
well. For example, HealthGrades.com provides information on malpractice and disciplinary history.
Consider a group practice. As with other
medical providers, some oncologists work
together in full partnerships with other
oncologists. Choosing this type of provider
may enable you to gain the benefit of the
doctors collaborative experience.
Judge communication style and compas-

sion levels. Does the doctor answer your


questions in a manner that fits with your
personality? Do you feel supported by the
doctor and that he or she exudes empathy?
Oncologists need to walk the fine line
between qualified medical provider and
friend.
Look into insurance coverage. While you
may want to go with one particular doctor,
you must investigate if your insurance covers that particular oncologist. Otherwise,
out-of-pocket expenses may be considerably
high.
Look into the hospital. Consider the quality of care at the hospital where the oncologist will treat you as a patient. Hospital quality can matter based on the type of care
given, proximity to the patients home and
reputation.
A qualified, compassionate oncologist
can make it easier to navigate a cancer
diagnosis.

E-cigarettes and quitting smoking

uitting smoking and losing weight


consistently top New Years resolutions lists. In an effort to stop smoking, a growing number of smokers are turning to electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes,
to help them quit once and for all. Although
e-cigarettes are not currently regulated, the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration is
weighing regulations in a market that estimates suggest could be as big $5 billion in
2015. But are these devices safe? Or even
effective?
There is mixed information regarding

the efficacy of e-cigarettes


to help a person quit smoking. Some studies point to ecigarettes as a good method
of smoking cessation, while
others say theres limited
evidence to support those
claims.
E-cigarettes typically
contain liquid nicotine,
which is inhaled as vapor.
The vapor resembles smoke and can mimic
the look and feel of smoking traditional
cigarettes. But e-cigarettes typically do not
contain any of the additional chemicals,
such as tar and other potentially toxic
ingredients, found in traditional cigarettes.
Nicotine cartridges for e-cigarettes also
come in various concentrations and flavors,
and smokers can even purchase nicotinefree replacement cartridges. Much like
users of nicotine patches or chewers of
nicotine gum, e-cigarette smokers can gradually lower their nicotine doses over time.

The American Lung Association currently has not approved any e-cigarette as a
safe or effective method to help smokers
quit. They cite a study that estimates there
are nearly 500 different e-cigarette brands
today with varying levels of nicotine and
the possible presence of other chemicals.
These e-cigarettes are unregulated. The
ALA says there is a great deal more to
learn about these products before they can
be recommended as a safe and effective
way for smokers to wean themselves off of
smoking.
E-cigarettes may contain additional
chemicals besides nicotine. Studies have
found detectable levels of chemicals used
in antifreeze in two leading brands of e-cigarettes. Formaldehyde and benzene have
been detected in some e-cigarette emissions. Other studies have found secondhand
emissions from e-cigarettes can prove
harmful to nonsmokers.
Although some e-cigarettes may contain
harmful byproducts, toxicity tests indicate

they are safer than regular cigarettes. Some


health experts believe the benefits of quitting traditional cigarettes outweigh the risks
posed by e-cigarettes.
The American Heart Association agrees.
In a policy statement released in August
2014, the American Heart Association said
physicians shouldnt discourage e-cigarette
use as a last resort to stop smoking.
If people cannot quit at all and have
tried everything in the field, we would not
discourage them, said Aruni Bhatnager, the
statements lead writer. Its not something
we would suggest.
The AHA recommends e-cigarettes only
if smokers refuse or are intolerant of other
options.
People who desire to quit smoking may
look to e-cigarettes to help their fight.
Although the safety and efficacy of e-cigarettes remains open to debate, cannot be
proven, many former smokers feel e-cigarettes played a significant role in helping
them to quit smoking once and for all.

Recognizing cancers
of the eye and eyelid

Eye cancers are often first diagnosed during otherwise routine eye
examinations.

ancer involves the uncontrolled division


of abnormal cells in a particular part of
the body. Cancer begins in one area, but
it can invade or spread to other parts of the body
if it goes undetected or untreated.
Certain cancers are more familiar to the general
public than others, thanks in part to awareness
campaigns and charity fundraisers. But no area
of the body, including the eyes and eyelids, is
immune to cancer.
According to the American Cancer Society, the
most common type of eye cancer that affects
adults is ocular melanoma, while children are
more likely to experience retinoblastoma.
Cancer can affect the three main parts of the
eye, which include the eyeball, orbit and adnexal structures. The eyeball includes the sclera,
uvea and retina. The orbit is the tissue surrounding the eyeball and the muscles that move the

eye in different directions. Adnexal structures


include the eyelids and the tear glands. Cancer
that begins in the eyeball is known as intraocular cancer. Many cases of adnexal cancer, or
cancer that affects the eyelid, may actually be
skin cancer. In fact, MD Anderson Cancer center
says more than 90 percent of eyelid cancers are
basal cell carcinomas of the skin.
Eye cancer may or may not produce symptoms,
and any symptoms it does produce may be different based on the type of cancer present.
Symptoms in adults may include:
a red or painful eye
blurred vision in one eye
change in iris color or dark spots
on the iris
bulging of the eye
floaters in the field of vision
loss of peripheral vision

NORTHFIELD PHARMACY

Early signs of eye cancer are most often discovered by an eye doctor during routine eye examinations. A person who has any unusual changes
in vision will want to visit an ophthalmologist
promptly. Many cancers can be easily diagnosed
by a trained physician, and early detection can
improve prognosis. The ACS estimates that, in
2015, there will be 2,580 new cancers (mainly
melanomas) of the eye and orbit 1,360 in
men and 1,220 in women.
Treatments for eye cancers are similar to the
options for cancers that begin elsewhere.
Surgery, radiation therapy, laser therapy,
chemotherapy, and other targeted therapies may
be used alone or in conjunction with another
depending on the type of eye cancer present.
Every step will be taken to improve health and
reduce the effects of treatment on vision.

Cancer screenings men should consider

ancer screenings play an important role in cancer prevention.


Screenings may not prevent people from getting cancer, but they can
detect the presence of cancer before a
person begins to experience any signs or
symptoms. Screenings also can help doctors catch cancer before it metastasizes,

60TH

or spreads, to areas of the body outside the


area where it originated.
Many women get routine mammograms to
detect for breast cancer, but women are not
the only ones who should include cancer
screenings in their healthcare routines. Men
also can benefit from screenings, discussing
the pros and cons of each with their physicians during routine health examinations.
Colon cancer: Men should begin getting
screened for colon cancer at age 50, though
those with family histories of colon cancer or
other colon issues should begin even earlier,
as family history increases a mans risk of
developing colon cancer. Colon cancer screenings may discover a type of growth known as
a polyp, which is typically benign and can be
removed before it develops into cancer. The
American Cancer Society notes that men have
various options to choose from with regard to
screening for colon cancer. Such options
include a colonoscopy, a stool DNA test and a

camera pill. Speak to your physician about


these options and discuss your family history,
which will influence how frequently you need
to be screened for colon cancer.
Lung cancer: Screening for lung cancer is
most important for men who currently or
recently smoked. The United States Preventive
Services Task Force recommends annual
screening for lung cancer with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) for men between
the ages of 55 and 80 who have a 30 packyear smoking history and currently smoke or
have quit within the past 15 years. Screening
should be discontinued once a man has not
smoked for 15 years or has developed a health
problem that substantially limits a mans life
expectancy or his ability or willingness to
undergo curative lung surgery. (Note: Packyear history is calculated by multiplying the
number of packs of cigarettes smoked per day
by the number of years the person has
smoked.) The ACS notes that the risks associ-

ated with lung cancer screenings typically outweigh the benefits for
men who have never smoked or
quit long ago.
Prostate cancer: The National Cancer
Institute notes that prostate cancer is the most
common nonskin cancer among men in the
United States. Being 50 years of age, black
and/or having a brother, son or father who had
prostate cancer increase a mans risk of developing the disease. The NCI notes that screening tests for prostate cancer, which include a
digital rectal exam and a prostate-specific
antigen test, come with risks, and men should
discuss these risks and the potential benefits
of prostate cancer screenings before deciding
to be screened.
Cancer screenings can detect cancer in its earliest stages, and as men get older, they should
discuss their screening options with their
physicians.

Foods that help fight cancer


thats high in fat can contribute to excess body
fat, which the American Institute for Cancer
Research has linked to higher risks for developing cancers of the esophagus, pancreas, colon
and rectum, and gallbladder, among others.
The AICR notes that research on foods that fight
cancer is ongoing, but the following are some of
the foods that can play a role in cancer prevention.

Broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables have


been linked to a lower risk for certain types of
cancer.

hile no single food or ingredient can


prevent people from getting cancer,
research has shown a link between
excess body fat and various cancers. A poor diet

Apples
Apples are a good source of fiber, which can
help men and women lower their cancer risk.
Dietary fiber can increase feelings of fullness,
which reduces the likelihood that people will
overeat. Men and women who do not overeat
are less likely to accumulate the excess body fat
that increases their risk for various cancers. In
addition, apples dietary fiber contains pectin, a
polysaccharide that bacteria in the stomach can
use to produce compounds that protect colon
cells.

Broccoli
Broccoli is a cruciferous vegetable, and nearly
all cruciferous vegetables, which get their name
because their four-petal flowers resemble a
cross, or crucifer, are great sources of vitamin C.
Broccoli also is a great source of the B vitamin
folate as well as potassium. The AICR notes that
studies have shown folate helps to maintain
healthy DNA and keep cancer-promoting genes
inactive. But men and women should speak with
their physicians regarding how much folate to
include in their diets, as animal studies have
suggested that high amounts of folate may promote development of certain types of cancer,
including colon cancer.

body, and inhibiting the formation of substances


called carcinogens, which are capable of causing
cancer in living tissue.

Legumes
Legumes include kidney and black beans, yellow split peas and red lentils. Dry beans and
peas are great sources of fiber and good sources
of protein, and each also make excellent sources
of folate. In addition to their ability to contribute
to the protection of colon cells, legumes also
contain various phytochemicals, which
researchers feel may decrease chronic inflammation, a risk factor for many cancers. In addition, these phytochemicals may increase the
self-destruction of cancer cells.
While there are no magic foods that can guarantee men and women wont one day develop cancer, there are many foods that research has
shown are capable of reducing a persons risk of
developing this potentially deadly disease. More
information on cancer-fighting foods is available
at www.aicr.org.

Cranberries
Like apples, cranberries are high in dietary fiber
and vitamin C. Diets high in foods containing
vitamin C have been linked to a reduced risk for
cancer of the esophagus. In addition, studies
have shown that vitamin C protects cells DNA
by trapping free radicals, which can damage the

Animals Gather At East Hanover Church To Receive Holy Blessing

By Cheryl Conway
here are a lot more local animals blessed in this world
thanks to a free local community event recently held.

The First Presbyterian Church of East Hanover hosted its


First Annual Blessing of the Animals on Sun., Oct. 4, at 1
p.m., with another sponsor church, The United Federated
Church of Livingston. The two organizations invited all
members in the community to come out with kitties in their
carriers, dogs on a leash and other small pets in their cages
to receive a blessing.
Seventy people with their 30 cats and dogs attended the
event held inside the church in East Hanover. Participants
did not have to be church members to attend.
This is something I've wanted to do for three years now
and I'm thrilled to see it materialize, says Sandra
MacKowiak of Randolph, church member since 1997 and
chair of Worship and Music at The First Presbyterian Church
of East Hanover. This is just something I wanted to do. I
read about it and I thought it was a great idea. Why not, we
have the property? People have pets today. It makes it nice
they appreciate them; they are a part of their life. Its unconditional love.
I got a book with all these blessings of living animals,
she explained. From what MacKowiak learned, animals
walk in; theyre very patient. They seem to sense that this
is for them. No matter how much we look after them, theres
something the pet has that the owner is praying for them.
The blessing can be for a pet thats fighting an illness, or
maybe a pet lost an owner; they tend to miss that owner;
or a pet lost another pet in the house.
MacKowiak recalls when her first husband died, her dog

SAMURAI
SUSHI

took six months to heal from the loss. Her first husband
would use the phrase kiss away your tears, during times of
trouble. I remember my dog, when my husband died, my
dog jumped up and was licking the tears off my face. He was
so in tune; it was unbelievable. He looked for him all the
time.
MacKowiak did not move forward with her idea for
blessing service for animals until recently when the pastor at
the Livingston church reached out to her church office to
see if we were interested in doing any events together.
Attendance had been down with kids playing soccer and
involved in other events.
Hes a small church in Livingston, says MacKowiak
compared to the 57 members at her church. I told him about
the blessings of the animals and he said lets do it.
Established in 1718, our church is a historical landmark, with a large parking lot across the street, so
MacKowiak figured her church would be the better of the
two to host the event as space was clearly an issue. She did
not know what kind of animals to expect- some told her a
horse could show up or even a cow and other pets like fish,
a bird, tarantula and even a child with a stuffed animal to
bless. There were no restrictions, other than pets needing
to be on a leash, carrier or crate.
Some pet owners, such as MacKowiak, brought the ashes
of a deceased pet to be blessed, something she had not anticipated.
When she was planning the event, MacKowiaks 14-year
old Norfolk Terrier had high blood pressure and suspected
she could go into kidney failure, but thought shes doing
better, just praying she will fine. Her hope was to bring her
to the Blessing of Animals event; but that plan changed

when Brie unfortunately died on Sept. 19, two weeks prior.


It's a blow as I was so looking forward to bringing her,
MacKowiak had said prior to the event. Now I'll have only
the ashes to be blessed.
While the plan was to hold the event outside, the forecasted hurricane Joaquin that weekend moved festivities to
Parish Hall inside the church.
At 1 p.m. a 30 minute service was held to bless each participating animal. Blessings were given by both spiritual
leaders- Rev. Jin Han of the First Presbyterian Church of
East Hanover and Pastor James deBoer of The United
Federated Church of Livingston.
The blessing comes from St. Frances of Assisi, or Patron

Saint of Animals, explains MacKowiak. The
name of the blessing is The Feast of St.
Frances, which falls around Oct. 4. The
blessing can be for all pets whether old, sick,
in need of comfort from a loss or deceased.
In addition to the blessing, an organist
played songs about animals on the keyboard. Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter of East
Hanover attended and brought some pets for
adoption.
At the door, each participant received a
ticket to enter the door prize- gift cards from
Petco. Each animal received a certificate,
whether alive or deceased, as well as a St.
Frances bronze medallion attached to a ring
to wear on their collar or place in a frame to
bless and protect my pet.
MacKowiak also invited members of
Boy Scout Troop 128 to help fill water
bowls, pass out water bottles to adults and
monitor the animals for good behavior.
Estimated event cost was $400 to be split
by both churches, to pay for signs and banners, medallions, water bottles. Planning the
events, such as this one, was more of the
challenge. I take all these things upon
myself; its just something I want to do.
We are a small congregation, says
MacKowiak. Ive done a couple of concerts; it takes a lot of work; you need a com-

mittee. This year, when she got that call


from Pastor James, she knew it was sign
saying, Im sending you someone who will
do it with you. We reached out to the community; its something for them to enjoy.
Besides bringing the ashes of her dog
Brie, MacKowiak brought Cali, her recently
adopted Chihuahua and Jack Russel mix.
We started looking last Sunday as I
thought it might take a while, says
MacKowiak. Went to two places and then
went to Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter before
heading home. We went to look at the available dogs. She was the only small one and
was jumping in the cage to get our attention
and we thought she was cute. Had some
time with her in a room and then we wanted
her. Except I was afraid I had so much to do
with the event that it wouldn't be fair to her
so we came home. Then I thought, how stupid!! So I emailed them and said I'd be there
at noon when they open so save her for me
on Monday.
She's wonderful. Mt Pleasant is wonderful, caring and friendly and exists only on
donations.
One day after Brie died I found her
favorite ball that had been missing for two
years. Gave it to Cali (new dog) and she
loves it. How and why it appeared I don't
know.

Mission To Build Health Clinic...


continued from front page
bring in clean water to people living there, followed by
two or three different projects every year.
Everythings from the heart, he says, involving himself
in feeding the kids, forming a baseball team, providing
clothing and supplies, medical supplies and building a large
fish pond five years ago that turned into a tilapia farm providing fresh tilapia to people in the village.
He also sent tables and chairs donated by Montville
schools; helped with orphanages there; held a computer
drive sending computers and laptops to schools; clothing
and supplies drive by Glen Ridge High School; equipment
drives to collect soccer balls.
His efforts, started at zero and turned into a heat wave of
thousands, he says. Every year theres something else to
help with. We didnt have the money; we started with one
dollar; now everyone has water and electricity because of us.
Weve become the biggest donors, sending 50,000 to
60,000 pounds of goods every year. His customers have
been a great support by bringing him goods and supplies
regularly; he has also gotten support from the local rotary.
As member of the Rotary of the Caldwells, Kambourakis
established the DRRO as a registered 501 (c)(3) organization three years ago.
A humanitarian project that started with only six to seven
people has gained support from so many people, customers,
other businesses and foundations.

I said were going to build a clinic. It is 80 percent finished, located at La Guneta, Amina with five acres and four
buildings. There will be a kitchen and facility for doctors, up
to 25 dormitories for doctors and nurses to stay. The clinic
will be one floor with high ceilings and will be used to provide free health care to impoverished Dominicans and
refugee Haitians.
Health care does not exist, he says, with polio, HIV,
typhoid, tuberculosis, mental illness, malnutrition, diabetes,
non-healing wounds being untreated and non-prevented.
There have been missions sent already to give inoculations and help children by providing hearing aids.
The new health clinic will provide cervical screening for
women once equipment is purchased.
Weve applied to foundations for monitors for equipment.
Working on the building has been the main focus recently with painters, window installation and roofers on site.
Hurricane proof, the building is made out of aluminum and
sheet rock.
In the main building, the windows and doors are in place
and the roof is on. Contractors are working on the interior
space now.
The outside is spectacular, he says. Its like a four-star
hotel. A priority is also to get 20,000 gallons of water to the
site.
Its been very dry there, says Kambourakis; may need

to drill for water.


Behind the clinic compound, he has been planting and
now provides fresh bananas, mangoes and papayas. Its like
an oasis, he says.
Some local supporters of the clinic include Barnabas
Health, LIG Global, Caldwell University, Rutgers Medical
and numerous rotary and Kiwanis clubs.
The clinic will serve all impoverished, no matter what
their nationality, as stated on the website. It will serve as a
base of operations for heart, hearing, prosthetic, and dental
missions. It will offer light triage and nutritional education.
But most of all, it will bring healthcare to those who have
nothing.
Kambourakis says we will be training people down
there. Local doctors, nurses and medical assistants in NJ
such as Hackettstown Medical Center and Robert Wood
Johnson Medical Center will be sent on missions work in
different departments at the clinic such as special surgery for
orthopedics.
The next two the three months will concentrate on finishing the clinic. So far, $380,000 has been used to construct
the clinic which will include a kitchen, laundry room and
dormitories. Still needed is $95,000 to complete the compound.
The plan is to hold a ribbon cutting of the new health clinic in February 2016 with a contingent of 40 to 50 people

made up of local representatives such as
Congressman Rodney Frelinghuysen, rotary
members, representatives from the medical
centers, other leaders, nurses and possibly
some students.
Once the clinic is running, Kambourakis
says his goal is to have separate rooms and
departments to handle medical issues like
one for hearing issues, one for dental, another for cervical cancer screening, diabetes,
inoculations.
Its going to be a beautiful thing, he
says. Those in the medical field are going to
be a great help, and at the same time
theyre going to learn a lot down there as
there are a lot of diseases.
The undertaking is huge, with
Kambourakis visiting atleast six to seven
times a year, but the end result will be an
incredible gift to the people in the
Dominican Republic.
Kombourakis efforts are unrelated to the
people of the Dominican as he says Im
Greek; Im a Greek immigrant, coming
over to the U.S. as a student. I was always a
giver. Kambourakis started out in psychology and special education and was involved

with children with disabilities before getting


involved in his familys fur business.
It came back to haunt me that I didnt
fulfill my dream, he says. I went back to
my roots to helping children and helping
with disabilities, back to health, its me, Im
there. Its just Godsend. If you believe in
mitzva, if you believe in destiny. My life is
giving, supporting and helping. If you leave
a little legacy, if you leave a little building, if
you can help. Theres a big need down
there.
One way of supporting the new clinic is
to attend the upcoming dinner dance, open
to anyone, with all proceeds being tax
deductible.
To attend the dinner dance, contact
Kambourakis
at
973-226-7303;
DrMike@dominicanRelief.org. For sponsorship opportunities and more information,
visit www.dominicanrelief.org.
Together, were building a healthy
future. Together, lets finish the clinic.
Donations are also being accepted.
Requested is summer clothing for boys, men
and women like short sleeve shirts and athletic shoes.

Children Dress Up To Help The Less Fortunate

By Jason Cohen
s children get ready to dress up
for Halloween in a few weeks, it
is important to remember that
October is breast cancer awareness
month. Florham Park resident Karen
Casolaro, who underwent a double mastectomy in 2009, beat breast cancer and
now helps others overcome similar obstacles.
Casolaro was overwhelmed with support from the community and in 2010,
founded Halos For Angels to help those
less fortunate.
Halos For Angels, Inc. launched on
Jan. 7, 2010, a 501(c) 3, a nonprofit charity that helps community families in need
due to sudden tragedy. It offers temporary support and services until the families are back on their feet once again.
Halos For Angels, Inc. is for the people, Casolaro said. A place where one
goes to give and to receive through love.
For no one should go through sudden
tragedy without personal connection,
support and love of an angel.

Casolaro, who is a mother of five children- with children in Hanover Park High
and Ridgedale Middle in Florham Parksaid the support through her childrens
friends and families and the schools, was
huge. Hanover Park High School has
been the charitys main support system.
The high school has a display in their
lobby that honors volunteers, promotes
upcoming events, posts community outreach opportunities and volunteer
signups. Thomas Callanan, principal of
Hanover Park High was Halos For
Angels, 2015 Honorary Outstanding
Volunteer Angel; he was presented an
award at the charitys annual Love Is In
The Air gala. Also presented with
awards that evening were: Ginny
Akhoury of Florham Park, Kaitlyn Spada
of Florham Park, Chuck Palmisano of
East Hanover and Melanie Tomiziki of
Tivoli Design in Madison.
Halos for Angels will hold Fright
Factor, which runs Oct. 2-31, Fridays
through Sundays. The attraction is a
zombie-infested walkthrough 3,000

square feet with kid-friendly tours, a


treasure hunt, face painting, pumpkin
picking and design, festival games,
prizes, music, treats and more.
The fundraiser involves many volunteers, which come from Florham Park,
Madison, Chatham, East Hanover,

Roseland, Livingston, West Orange,


Whippany and as far as Sparta and
Newton. The organization has helped
more than 81 families since its inception.
It has been a privilege and honor to
have been chosen to help serve our 81

recipients, Casolaro said. This blessing has been and


continues to be supported and serviced by our volunteers that give back through community outreach
efforts all for the greater good. Extending support and
services through compassion, determination, kindness,
consideration, respectful, loyalty, strong in faith, and
most importantly, love.
The Fright Factor ticket booth was designed by
Casolaros husband, John and built by the Morris
County VoTech students. He wanted to create a haunted
house exclusively for Halos For Angels. It originated as
a 900 square foot structure and three years later, he
transformed the structure into what it is today, a 3,000
square foot pathway to terror.
It has been a success year after year as it grows bigger and better each year with added scares that will
haunt your every move with mechanical surprises,
Casolaro said. Some of the brave make it out while others remain year after year.
It is open Saturdays 3 p.m.-6 p.m.; Sundays 1 p.m.-4
p.m. and it is located at 186 Ridgedale Ave., Florham
Park. The entrance fee is $10. For information, go to
www.halosforangelsinc.com.

Friendship Circle Walk Supports Kids


With Special Needs

housands of people from across the region are


expected to come out for the annual Friendship
Circle (FC) Walk on Sun., Oct. 25, in Livingston.
In its ninth year, the FC Walk is a fun day that supports
children with special needs
The event features a one-mile fundraising walk to
raise awareness of and support for programs for families
with children with special needs. Following the walk will
be a Friendship Fair with a petting zoo, inflatable rides,
batting cages, food and more.
This years highlight will be a performance by the
singing sensation the Maccabeats. The a cappella group is
best known for their 2010 hit single Candlelight, about
the holiday of Hannuka. They have since gone on a world
tour and recorded many other hit songs.
This years FCwalk and Friendship Fair will be held at
the Joseph Kushner Hebrew Academy in Livingston.
Registration begins at noon and the walk kick-off follows
at 1 p.m.
More than 2,000 people attended last years FCwalk
and Friendship Fair and organizers are anticipating an
even-larger crowd this year.
When thousands of families get together at the
FCwalk that sends a powerful message to local families

who have children with special needs a message of support, a message of caring, a message of friendship, says
FC Executive Director Rabbi Zalman Grossbaum. Plus,
its a great way to spend time with family and friends.
New to the Fun Fair will be a virtual reality display
that will allow people to take a VR tour of LifeTown, a
soon-to-be-built center in Livingston that will redefine
the landscape for individuals with special needs.
The 47,000-square-foot social, educational and recreational center, LifeTown will be fully inclusive so that all
children regardless of their abilities will be able to enjoy
the benefits of play and friendship, while receiving needed therapies and learning vital life skills. It will serve as
the base for all FC programs and more.
A non-profit organization, Friendship Circle in
Livingston is a primary resource for families who have
children and teens with special needs. At the core of all
FC programs is the belief that each person can be a productive member of the community and can benefit from
the friendship of their peers.
To create a fundraising team, learn more about the
Friendship Circle or the annual walk, visit
www.fcwalk.com or call 973-251-0200.

Blood Drives Held In October

ew Jersey Blood Services has


planned the following blood
drives:
Oct. 16: Madison Area YMCA,
Madison, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Oct. 21: Parsippany Town Hall,
Parsippany, 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Oct. 25:
White Meadow Lake
Clubhouse, Rockaway, 8:30 a.m. to 2:30
p.m.
Oct. 26: Knights of Columbus 3665,
Netcong, 3 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Oct. 27: Drew University, Ehinger
Center, Madison, 1 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Oct. 31: 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

Interior Design Program To Benefit


Habitat For Humanity

et some design advice and do a


good deed! Spruce It Up!, sponsored by the New Jersey Chapter of
the American Society of Interior Designers
(ASID), qualified interior designers can
analyze residential or commercial space
and help develop a new direction. In
October, ASID designers will provide oneor two-hour consultations at $150 per hour.
Participants will designate which of the 24
New Jersey Habitat for Humanity affiliates
will receive their consultation fee and will
write the check directly to that Habitat
affiliate.
Spruce It Up! offers the chance to pick
up some ideas to transform a tired interior,
get some advice on how to maximize its
design potential and gain knowledge to
avoid costly mistakes. Its the perfect program for anyone who has resisted consulting an interior designer because they
thought their job was too small, their budget too modest, or that a designers services
would be too costly.
Habitat for Humanity, the beneficiary of
this program, is a nonprofit housing agency

dedicated to providing decent, affordable


housing for low-income families. Through
volunteer labor and donations of money
and materials, Habitat builds and rehabilitates houses in partnership with families in
need.
This is the second year in a row that
Habitat is the beneficiary of Spruce It Up!
In 2014, ASID NJ Chapter raised almost
$13,000 for Habitat, thanks to the interior
designers who donated their time and the
New Jersey consumers who took advantage
of the program.
We are proud to support such a wonderful organization in their mission to bring
people together to build homes, communities and hope, says ASID NJ Chapter
President Michael Mariotti, ASID.
For additional information about the
program or to request a Spruce It Up! consultation with an ASID designer in the area,
contact the New Jersey Chapter of ASID at
732-787-5981 or e-mail spruceitup@asidnj.org. Although consultations will take
place through Oct. 31, consultation
requests must be received by Oct. 15th.

State Department Offers Tips On Reducing Risks From Bears

ith many Morris County residents now enjoying the fall hiking season, the New Jersey
Department of Environmental Protection is
reminding those residents of ways to reduce black bear
encounters, and offering tips should they come within
close range of black bears in the countys and regions
many natural areas.
The DEPs advice follows a recent bear-human interaction at Ramapo Mountain State Forest in Bergen
County, when a pair of hikers, including a 7-year-old
boy, were closely followed by a potentially aggressive
black bear at the forest.
Black bears are found throughout Morris County and
are often observed in some county parks. Most encounters will result with the bear running away but if it doesnt leave, use common sense and never approach the
bear. Do not attempt to take selfies with your phone
camera.
If a bear is seen, in particular one that does not show
much fear, immediately contact the Department of
Environmental Protections hotline at 877-927-6337, or
(877) WARN-DEP. If a bear encounter occurs in a
Morris County Park immediately contact the Park
Police at 973-326-7654.
In most cases, encounters between people and black
bears end without incident. However, black bears are

wild animals and the Division of Fish and Wildlife


reminds the public that it is very important for people
who live in or visit NJs bear country which includes
Morris County -- to be alert to their presence, especially when hiking.
The Division of Fish and Wildlife offers the following tips when hiking in bear country: never feed or
approach a bear; make presence on the trail known by
speaking loudly, singing, clapping hands, or making
other noises; remain calm; do not run from it; do not
make direct eye contact with the bear, as this may be
perceived as a challenge; slowly back away; make sure
the bear has an escape route; if the bear continues to follow or is otherwise undeterred, make loud noises by
yelling, blow a whistle, bang pots and pans, or use an air
horn, if available; look as big as possible by waving
arms; if with someone else, stand close together with
arms raised above the head.
If a bear stands on its hind legs or moves closer, it
may be trying to get a better view or detect scents in the
air. It is usually not a threatening behavior.
The bear may utter a series of huffs, make popping jaw
sounds by snapping its jaws and swat the ground. These
are warning signs that the person is too close. Slowly
back away, avoid direct eye contact and do not run.
Black bears will sometimes bluff charge when cor-

nered, threatened or attempting to steal food. Stand


ground, avoid direct eye contact, then slowly back away
and do not run.
Black bear attacks are extremely rare. However, if
one does attack, fight back. Do not play dead.
In addition, families who live in areas frequented by
black bears should have a "Bear Plan" in place for children, with an escape route and planned use.
The Division of Fish and Wildlife offers these other
important rules to help minimize conflicts with black
bears: if a bear enters a home, provide it with an escape
route by propping all doors open; invest in certified
bear-resistant garbage containers, which offer the best
protection. If not using bear-proof garbage containers,
store all garbage in containers with tight fitting lids in a
secure area where bears are unlikely to see or smell
them, such as a basement or the inside wall of a garage.
Business owners should contact their sanitation company to acquire a bear resistant dumpster if they are having issues with black bears; use electric fencing to protect livestock and beehives. It is the most effective and
efficient way to prevent bear damage. A properly
installed and baited electric fence not only deters bears,
but teaches them to keep away.

Dental Services Offered At Morris County V.A. Clinic


For Eligible Military Veterans

ffordable dental clinics for


Morris County military veterans,
as well as veterans in Sussex and
Warren counties, who do not have dental
insurance will be offered this fall at the
Morris County Outpatient Veterans

Administration Clinic in Morris


Township.
A clinic is scheduled for Mon., Oct.
26, in the Highlands Health Van, which
will be parked at the VA Clinic at 340
West Hanover Avenue, across the street

Tips On Reducing Risks From Bears...


continued from page 30
before; wash garbage and recycling containers with a disinfectant at least once a
week to reduce odors; draping an ammonia- or bleach-soaked cloth over containers will help to eliminate odors; do not
place meat or sweet food scraps in compost piles; feed birds only from Dec.1 to
April 1, when bears are least active; feed
outdoor pets during daylight hours only;

immediately remove all food scraps and


bowls after feeding; clean outdoor grills
thoroughly after each use. Grease and
food residue can attract bears. Do not
leave food unattended while camping or
picnicking.

behavior, biology and tips, visit:

Attention Schools, Churches,


Organizations Send Your Press Releases
to editor@newviewmg.com

from the Morris County Public Safety


Academy.
More dates will be set up soon for
November and December.
Dental Services Mobile Clinic is a
two-year-old dental program, which provides direct, much-needed access and
discounted services, is one of the first of
its kind in the state. It is collaboration
between Zufall Health, Morris County
and the Veterans Administration.
Veterans receive a free first visit
which may include an oral/dental screening exam, teeth polishing, fluoride treatment, and will be charged $20 in cash for
full-mouth set of X-rays. If further treatment is needed, patients can schedule a
follow-up visit to receive services at a
discounted rate at one of Zufalls fixed
dental sites in Dover, Morristown or
Flemington.
Charles Jurgensen, Morris County
Veterans Service Officer, said the program has been a great success. He
stressed that the clinic is only for veter-

ans without dental insurance, and urged


all interested veterans to call ahead and
make an appointment.
This is really a needed service not
only for veterans enrolled in the VA
Health System, but for veterans, who for
various reasons, are unable to participate
in the system, said Jurgensen. Now, all
veterans in Morris and neighboring counties will have access to affordable dental
care.
This is an important addition to
health services for our military veterans,
who have given so much to our county,
said Freeholder Hank Lyon, the county
governing boards liaison on human services and veterans issues. I urge veterans
in need to make an appointment and use
this dental service.

he American Red Cross, one of the


most distinguished humanitarian
organizations in the world, traces its
history back to the 19th century. In 1881,
former American Civil War nurse Clara
Barton and her circle of acquaintances
founded the American Red Cross in
Washington, D.C. That idea was inspired
by a postwar visit Barton made to Europe,
where she first encountered the
International Red Cross. Though many
women did not work outside the home during Bartons era, the Massachusetts-born
nurse would serve as the head of the
American Red Cross for 23 years, during
which time she aided the United States
military in the Spanish-American War.
Barton also successfully campaigned for
including peacetime relief work as part of
the global Red Cross mission. Today, the
American Red Cross continues to help millions of people in need. Among the organizations many missions are helping
Americans affected by natural disasters,
supporting military personnel and their
families, collecting blood for processing
and distribution, providing health and safety education and training, and providing
international relief.
